Last week it was the PS4, this week it’s the Xbox One.  FOX 17 takes a look at Microsoft’s latest console offering before its Friday launch.

Xbox One is all about multi-tasking,  like watching a movie while surfing the web or talking on Skype while TV plays in background.   Simply talk to the Xbox One or use hand gestures to tell it what you want.

It will also remember your personal preferences by the sound of your voice.   Stream or watch games through the “Twitch” feature.

The Xbox will automatically  record the last 5 minutes of play.    It has a HDMI input,  which will allow you to make the Xbox your Home Theater  system via your cable or satellite box.  No more switching inputs and multiple remote controls.    Play games online or offline. You can also purchase games online by downloading them to the hard drive.

The price? $500.
