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.
