I got an Xbox One at launch, and my family has used it extensively every day.

The voice commands, while not 100% accurate, work far more than 80% of the time. Being able to say 'Xbox, Watch AMC' from anywhere in the console instead of fumbling through the cable box guide system to find the channel is super awesome. In fact, in every way, the TV passthrough feature works better than I hoped. The ability to leave a game 'hanging,' switch to blu-ray player or netflex and then back to a game that was waiting in suspension,  is incredibly helpful. Kinect works well, having a built-in camera for Twitch is excellent, and Kinect Sports Rivals comes out in just a couple weeks. Nice to go all digital on a system, and load games without getting up. (Hope for that USB3.0 enabled ext Hard Drive support to come up soon.) 

The games are excellent. I've really enjoyed Peggle 2 (first game I've got every acheivement on!) and Titanfall, in addition to Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare, Ryse, Dead Rising 3, Forza 5, Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes, Xbox Fitness Max: The Curse of Brotherhood, Call of Duty: Ghosts, Strider, Halo: Spartan Assault. and Killer Instinct.

Project: Spark is incredible. Motion Capturing your own digital character is super awesome. Making a weird warrior dude do a ridiculous dance is super amusing.

Skype calls are great, built in apps like TED Talks, YouTube, and Xbox Video (GREAT to use my Android Phone to send files from my upstairs PC to the Xbox One via DLNA streaming - no 'Play To' required) really rock. 

All in all, I'm 100% satisfied with my purchase. The device makes a great blu ray player with many useful settings like color bit-depth and 24hz mode, which help you get the most out of your picture quality.

I'm super pumped about future updates and games. I am particularly pumped to give Kinect Sports Rivals a go.
