>I'd be happy if they could just bring the Xbone back to the level of usability that the 360 had

My housemates and I purchased an Xbone and realized before long we were using the 360 more because it was vastly preferable for netflix/youtube/etc. Have since switched to a chromecast for that stuff, but the Xbone is absolutely a massive step back in UX. Not to mention the ads on the dashboard. There is advertising on the dashboard of my $250 console, that requires a paid subscription for online play. Why is that acceptable?

Because for some reason you keep paying the subscription, buying the games and playing them?

Ha, fair enough. I don't actually have a Live subscription. The Xbox One is strictly a couch-coop device for me, which made the last Halo release even more appalling.
