Welcome to the newest DealDash series – “Great Christmas Gifts.” If you’re a person who struggles every year trying to think of gifts to get your family and friends, this series is for YOU!<\/h2>\n

The Xbox One is made by Microsoft, and it’s one of the most popular gaming systems available right now. There are a huge amount of games that can be played on this game system, from children to teens to adults.<\/p>\n

If you have a person in your life who loves video games and currently owns an Xbox 360 you might want to consider giving them an upgrade to the Xbox One for Christmas this year. The best news about upgrading someone who already owns an Xbox 360 is that the Xbox One is backwards compatible, meaning that if someone already has\u00a0an Xbox membership, and either digital or disc based games they are in luck, because they will work with the Xbox One.<\/p>\n

If you’re shopping for a couple and the guy is really into video games and the lady not so much – not to worry, they can both enjoy the Xbox One, because even though it’s more known for it’s awesome games, you can also download apps onto your Xbox One, as well as watch internet-based TV such as Netflix or Hulu through the Xbox one, no computer needed. If you’re wondering how that works, it’s pretty simple.\u00a0The Xbox One runs on three operating systems: the Xbox One system, a Windows 8 kernel, and a third operating system made by Microsoft to act as glue between the two main operating systems. This helps aid you in being able to\u00a0switch between games, TV, the web, \u00a0and any other apps that you might end up downloading.<\/p>\n

The Xbox One has a really cool\u00a0voice recognition system\u00a0that powers the console. This makes it easy for the Xbox\u2019s owner\u00a0to give the Xbox One voice commands like\u00a0as \u2018Xbox on,\u2019 or \u2018Xbox, TV\u2019. The Xbox One also has a\u00a0new built-in Kinect, so the Xbox One can also be controlled with gestures, like a wave\u00a0of the hand, or by grabbing and dragging things.<\/p>\n

The new Kinect that’s built in has a 1080p camera and\u00a0can also\u00a0recognize different people by identifying their faces. It syncs and stores this information with this person\u2019s Gamertag and Xbox Live account if they would like to\u00a0sign on to a friend\u2019s console. This means that if several people are gaming on one console which has all of their information stored, the camera on the Kinect is able to identify which player is holding the controller in order to do things such as update a game\u2019s scores. Pretty cool, huh?<\/p>\n
