Watch Xbox One go from 'Xbox On' to signed-in dashboard in 13 seconds

4.7
By saying "Xbox on" you can turn on the Xbox One, log in using the new Kinect's facial recognition, and hit the system's dashboard, all within 13 seconds. At least, that's going by a video (see below the break) posted by Xbox spokesoldier Larry 'Major Nelson' Hyrb - and yes, we timed it.

In this case, the console's being turned on from standby mode, rather than a cold boot; as Xbox Director of Product Planning Albert Penello explained on Reddit, the 'Xbox On' command works when the system's in standby. Also, it appears the Major's signed into Xbox Live (as well as the console itself) by the video's end.

We'll all be able to test this out for ourselves in just over a week's time, when Microsoft's next-gen console launches on November 22, with a price tag of $500.

EskShadowZ not a very good boot time for an always on console. But i'll take it over a smoking PS4 any day of the year.


i think it went from off to on, not from stand-by to on

This is pretty cool and it would've been even cooler if they had came up with this when Kinect for the 360 came out.

spidum What a waste of a 4k display.
Using it for a console that only outputs 720p most of the time at max 1080.
Oh Larry.


Only cod and battlefield are 720p and that's because of the developers.

Two very important things to point out here:
1. Major Nelson's profile picture is absolutely amazing.
2. It's about 5x faster than my current setup. My takes shot two minutes to start up but I think is it's because I have both hdmi and av called occupied.
