If you're a fan of the Xbox One but wanted a 4K capable Blu-ray player and streaming device, this is your answer. Even if you already have an Xbox One, selling it for $150 or so and picking this up is well worth it.
To start, the form factor of the system is really nice and compact, plus the box runs very quietly all the time. Overall, loading times for tasks seem only SLIGHTLY faster than the origin One, so that's more of a nice bonus rather than a selling point. 4K video looks amazing, provided you have a nice 4K TV, of course. Madden 17 is a good add-on, but not a deciding factor for me.
All in all, definitely a good deal if you're already an Xbox enthusiast, or even if you just want a 4K player with the perks of a great family room gaming system.
