hundreds of dollars voiding the warranty on your brand new $499 console so that it can boot 4 seconds faster, make sure your watch this.

Many years ago, right after I purchased a new Mustang, a friend spent fifteen minutes describing to me how the factory headers were not perfectly machined to match the ports and were thus "robbing me" of about 10 bhp. He then asked was I going to pull them and have ports and flanges polished? I told him "No, I'm not. For the same reason I'm not going to have my dinnerware re-chromed."

Bloody hell.. SSD in a XBONE really doesn't do much if you like to not wait an extra 5-7seconds. ~46seconds to boot the OS and ~27seconds for a game with an SSD? Well, considering the main guts aren't that fast anyway we can conclude the fastest internal media devices (SSD) don't do c*ck. I gather the PS4 will be the same I wonder? Ah well [back to my PC]..

When both consoles cold boot, the PS4 turns on in just 20 seconds while the Xbox One turns on in about one minute and ten seconds. When both consoles boot from standby, the PS4 turns on in about three seconds, while the Xbox One takes about 12.

XBONE == serious bloatware/overhead somewhere apart from the slower h/w. Damn...
