  • A cold boot (from off to operational) takes 17 seconds. It was timed with a stopwatch.
  • loading an installed game (Call of Duty: Ghosts) takes between 15 and 20 seconds.
  • The console “looks solid, feels heavy, great quiet fan, good ports. Doesn’t look flimsy at all like 360.”
  • The controller “is very interesting. The triggers are firmer and don’t go down as much as 360, LB and RB are bigger, thumbsticks grippier.”
