I'm at a friends and crashed on the couch in the den where the Xbox is. And without kinect it sucks. When Xbox on didn't work I had to actually find the controller to turn it on. Then on top of that I had to locate the remote to turn on the tv. Of course Xbox go to tv doesn't work so I had to find the app to watch golf. During a commercial break I tried to change channels with the controller. Denied. Had to use the remote again. So know I want to play FIFA and snap the tv. Of course I couldn't just say it I had to do way to much work just to get tv to snap and FIFA to start

TL;DR I'm lazy as shite and the Xbox one with the kinect is the way to go.

Why would you not be able to use the controller to change the channel?

yeah pretty sure you already can.
if you run your cable through the hdmi I I would suggest it asap but if you just play games I would wait till they get cheaper or buy a used one

I don't know if the original kinect went on sale. Unlikely it will.

Cable box is controlled through the hdmi from the one. There isn't an IR blaster.

You are wrong sir. If I push my ottoman back six inches my cable box and receiver can't be operated by the XBone.

You can do a simple google search and see that there is an IR Blaster.
