Video game console as stereo?
type: item
description: It seems like Microsoft is trying to market their Xbox One as being more than just a video game console. A friend of mine actually uses his as a component receiver of sorts, but I didn't see any speakers hooked up to it. (He runs sound through TV.) Is anyone here using a video game console almost like a component receiver? I might actually be able to justify the expense if it can be used that way.

We have a video game console in each room of the house -- two bedrooms and the living room -- and we use them all this way. They act as video game consoles, DVD players, Blu-Ray players in some cases, and as stereos.

description: If you have a home theater system, could you Xbox be wired to run through the speakers without going through the TV, for example if you were using as a stereo versus a game console or DVD player?
