Before I get into anything else, I just want to say that if you download the FXNOW app for the Xbox 360 and don’t use it to watch either Fargo or The Americans, then frankly, I don’t want to know you. That is all.
To give credit where credit is due, Microsoft has remained steadfast in their insistence that the Xbox One was more than just another gaming console. Now with more than 225 apps available worldwide, I do think of it as more of an entertainment system than anything else, as much as that makes me feel like a shill for saying. The best news to come out of this announcement, though, is that hopefully Microsoft will be fully committed to showing games at this year’s E3 show, unlike last year’s debacle. I’m getting a migraine just thinking about that press conference.
Does anything in this giant list of apps for the Xbox One and Xbox 360 specifically jump out at you? Let us know what you think in the comments section below.
