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.”

This is extremely ridiculous and I see no real point for it. Inb4 someone accuses me of being a playstation fanboy.

KAQ Ok cool but so what because you can't do anything with the console anyway then if it's on before your tv is -.-


Very true. I think it's more there for the factor of your console already being turned on before you can do anything

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"

Rano I think I'm just going to stick to PS4


I'll likely be doing the same. While interesting and convenient this feature will not really make people switch their opinion on the consoles

im a newly found psfan but lets be honest xbox one is horrible. im buying it for my litte bros who are 9 and 14 but this console is even a console. my brothers especially the nine year old one love Xbox i use to love it also but its becone a dictator ship. xbox fans do the same thing as PS4 fans.

If I get an Xbox One (Which I'm still heavily debating) I'll probably always leave my Xbox in this "standby mode".

Although the Xbox 360 is already pretty fast at loading up, this would come in handy.

Like I said though, I'm not sure if I'm getting the Xbox One.

-Mark Well that seems like a pretty fast start up from what they are saying. I won't believe it for myself when I turn my Xbox One on for the first time.

Looking forward to trying this out.
I agree. While it's not an essential must have feature I guess it will be useful, if it's as good as they say...
