Thanks for all the quality info peeps.

You all really came through with the details I was looking for.

Cool!  Welcome to the group when you get one.

As others have said the 1TB bundle or Elite is a better deal.  You can not swap drives, but you can add a giant external hard drive - like 8TB or more if you are full.  And if you get a fast one it will load quicker than the internal drive.

I like Kinect and using it to control my TV Tuner, talking and other things.  But you know me, I'm that way.

A couple of other features haven't said:

If you have a Kinect you can let it control your Tuner, Cable Box and/or DVR.  With Xbox Live you also get 'Xbox Oneguide' that shows you what is playing on your TV, what is trending, etc.  I actually really like this feature.  You can also change channel with your voice, set your favorite channels to see quicker, etc.

Some TV tuners, like this one,  allow you to play a game, while someone else can stream something on TV to any Windows 10 devices you have.

Next year they are rumored to add a DVR function to Xbox.  But you can use the current one to control yours if you have Kinect for its IR blasting. 

It can also turn on your TV, Stereo and Tuner or Cable box if you choose it to do that (also needs Kinect.)

7) No idea about his one.

Also remember you will be getting some backwards compatabilty, for about 100 games, soon.  All new Xbox 360, Games with Gold will be playable on your Xbox One.
