Shouldn't have to have a gimped console without accessories. (Gaming)

That said, given that the most recent Kinectless update made the OS almost tolerable (although I got a good laugh at Sammy's rage when I had to explain to her how to save a capture recently... she is officially never going to like Xbox One, but she wanted to get her Black Ops 3 beta fix in), I'm very hopeful that the NXE coming soon will further separate the Xbox from the Kinect (although I can see how MS would be hesitant to further devalue the crap that they forced upon early adopters).

Seriously, I really love my Xbox One (and Kinect!), but how did Microsoft screw up the One UI so much? Especially after the 360 update which gave us the most intuitive console UI ever. Party chat and friends, etc. is still a freaking mess on the One, and it was a selling feature of the 360. How did they screw that up? Making everything it's own "app" that needs to be opened every single goddamn time was the biggest mistake.
