some people like watching tv without having to have a different box - it's convenience, fair enough if you don't like it as a benefit but it is for some people

sorry i don't read the rules of comparison
p sure i said i was listing benefits - is the blu ray player not a benefit?
seriously is it really necessary to criticize that post for those type of small things? i'd understand if you were actually disagreeing with the features (such as the tv being a benefit or not) but honestly there's no point in saying about things such as the blu-ray player other than just being a pain :P
it's not like it's directly affecting you or anyone else and really it's just a piece of info for people that might buy the consoles in the fact that they both have blu-ray players - it's needed even more so in the fact that last gen xbox didn't have a blu-ray player so some people might not think it was one when it does, and if i list it for xbox i gotta list it for ps4 to

so using yet another box (xbox) serves this purpose better?

but if they use their xbox for everything that means they can throw out their regular tv box, does it not?
i'm not saying i'd personally ever use it - just saying for the odd person they might like it

no. you need a tv box to get the reception. thats how even basic cable works these days.
it would be plugged THOUGH the xbox, you would be adding yet another box to the stack just to have to use the cable remote anyways.

are you sure?
i thought streaming live tv without a box or reception was a thing now - hell sky even has an ios app that lets you stream tons of channels through the wifi
even my 360 stream stuff like cartoon network without being plugged into anything but the socket
maybe it's only like this in the uk? sure you still need a sky/whatever tv provider you want subscription but they couldn't care less if you use their box or not.
