Xbox One: 10 Big Changes That Would Actually Make It Worth Buying

3. Make €œBing€ More Informative

€œXbox, Bing€ is the coolest and therefore most frustrating feature of the Xbox One when it doesn't work. By saying €œXbox Bing€, then whatever keywords you want, it should display a list of items including movies, games, apps, music, TV shows, and pretty much anything else you can access on your console. However, €˜Bing€™ing the name of a popular movie sometimes yields two or three results - for example lets say Field of Dreams came up twice. One of these could be accessible via your Netflix or Hulu account and the other may lead you to an option to buy or rent it from Xbox Video, requiring you back out and see if the other option is the better one. There€™s nothing more disappointing than €œBing€ing a specific TV show only for it to come up, be selected, and display it's only available for rent from Xbox Video. If Microsoft added the ability to limit results to subscribed services or simply tagged content you have to pay for with a little dollar sign - versus making you drill down an extra menu (or two or three in the case of a TV show) - the disappointment and irksome nature of this awesome feature would likely fade away, allowing an incredible breadth of content to be truly a couple of words away.
