Xbox One will turn on faster than your TV while in stand-by mode

4.6
Xbox One will reportedly boot up faster than your TV, according to Microsoft’s director of product planning, Albert Penello.

Penello took to Reddit (via Videogamer) to answer fan questions and explain the power states of the console, saying, “There are basically three states. On, Off and Standby. On is On. Off is Off. Standby allows “Xbox On”, quick resume, checking for updates, etc.”

Penello was also keen to outline how quickly the console will boot-up in stand-by mode, “From standby, it’s likely the Xbox will be on before the TV is completely powered up.”
There is no information however about the exact time it would take for the process, but I guess that’s something we will find out come launch.

Microsoft also intends for Xbox One to be spend most of its time in stand-by mode, from this mode the console can launch TV or games without using much power, according to Penello, “This is the mode we’d like to see people in, obviously, so you get back to gaming or watching TV really quick.”

I would bet on not much people minding it in general. It's more of a convenience thing

DNaDee You're telling me that a device that is technically on and running will start back up faster than the device that is completely turned off? WOW


That's a good point, but the real question is will it start up faster than my computer monitor that's in standby mode? As a side note, talk about stupid simple to get my rig up and running. I can literally just say "xbox on" and the monitor turns on with any incoming signal. Boom Done.

mev96 Key phrase "Standby mode" lmfao what a joke. Obviously its going to turn on faster if its on standby........ -_-


Haters gonna Hate.. This is exactly why I can't stand PS fantards. You just have to hate on everything, even if it is a positive. You are the only joke I see here. Why did you even click on an Xbox article if all you are going to do is talk trash? I guess a troll can't help but be a troll.


When did he state he was "PS Fantard"? You're the idiot here. If somethingis in standby mode then its gonna turn on faster.

Agree with Urf, DavidDo0M it looks like you are an xbox "fantard"


Now, you both look like ignorant fools. First of all, I am no fanboy. Though I do prefer the Xbox One, I am buying both next gen consoles. I am an educated, grown man who is fully capable of forming his own opinions. I do not follow anyone blindly. Can you honestly say the same?
Secondly, the person I initial quoted is a raging PS fantard. I have seen him around before. I have read several of his other comments. He is constantly trolling Xbox articles. So, if you are ignorant of the situation and don't know what you are talking about, you would be better off researching the facts before spouting off your ignorance.

Pashtun Typical Microsoft. They copied Sony again. PS4 had this feature first.

Typical ignorant ps4 fanboys sony also copied Microsoft more than Microsoft copied sony


Yeah, it's true. Sony stole the Party chats and a ton of others. Remember that the xbox 360 came out first then the ps3 came out.


To all others,

If you're getting the PS4, good luck with an updated xbox 360. :)
