I came close to pre-ordering the Xbox One yesterday but somebody posted something that reminded me of the Xbox 360 launch.. there are definitely going to be glitches and issues with the first batch that come out (its bound to happen with new hardware / electronics), which is not really a big deal for most people.. but I am not sure if I should wait a year so the issues get ironed out or just get one anyway... I'm on my 2nd 360 and its on its last leg.. so I may just wait until the 360 dies before ordering the X1.... just my .02
EDIT: I would like to see all these "rumors" get answered / squashed before I throw down $500 too..
