D. Perreault - Impressive and Amazing ExperienceI received the Day One Edition Xbox One on release day. I am so glad that I decided to buy the console then and not wait, because I use it for ALL of my gaming and entertainment needs, and this thing is a blast to use! I owned an Xbox 360, and I knew that I wanted to stay with Microsoft this generation the day it was officially unveiled. I bought Battlefield 4 with this, and when I got to playing it, I was blown away. The graphical differences and the smoother frame rate compared to the Xbox 360 was vast and had me wowed. I played Battlefield all night, watched Netflix, browsed the web, and more, all without hiccups in the OS (Operating System).
