Which console?

Another consideration is Games With Gold, for around £40 a year you get 4 games a month, 2 xbox one game and 2 360 games (backwards compatible).0

PS4's PlayStation plus has gone up to £50 a year, but can usually be purchased for less with vouchers etc. You get some free games each month, but most are dross IMO. You have to have the PS+ for online play, but you can play games without online access. Unfortunately, most games seem to be released and then need tons of downloadable content (DLC) or updates straight away, so you can't get that extra DLC without the internet.
I've been PS2, 3, and now 4, but I honestly don't think it has any stand out features above any Xbox I've seen, although I do prefer a black console with blue lights, over anything green or white. The media side of PS4 is useful if you don't have an alternative, and we have all our photos backed up onto it.0 -

So please explain the risk to your console - even in that situation0 -

They are dodgy and theres always potential for issues when using that type of thing. Yeah, you may never have a problem. No matter how small i wouldnt risk it when i can just put any risk onto a cheap firestick. The purpose is to be able to watch on your tv right? The firestick enables this. Theres no need to put it onto a console.0 -
What issues ? What are you risking ??
Im not nip picking, im genuinly interested what you think the risk to your console is as i cant see one ..
It is simply a program, designed to run on xbox, running on xbox
Conversely to your statement, if you own an xbox, there is no need to put it on a firestick !!0 -

No - No you could not.
Categorically 100% definitely not
Please educate yourself on the xbone OS/hypervisor architecture before coming out with silly comments like that0 -
No risk with kodi itself but the builds are basically criminal and supplied by criminals. They no doubt invalidate your warranty and if those who make them screw up who knows what they might do. I am not denying the risk is likely to be fairly low but you are failing to argue why its better to put it on your expensive console instead of a cheap firestick.What issues ? What are you risking ??

Please stop spouting this rubbish - of course they dont invalidate your warranty - good grief !!! where are you getting this stuff from ???
If the addons were malicious, the very very most they could do is corrupt your install of kodi its self - they have no ability whatsoever to affect your xbox - NO ABILITY WHATSOEVER TO AFFECT YOUR XBOX - said twice and in bold in the hope it gets through ..donnajunkie wrote: »and if those who make them screw up who knows what they might do..
Nothing, they will do nothing - they have no ability to do anything - atall - i hope i am being clear here
In the miniscule risk that one of them misbehaves, uninstall kodi and its gone - all of it
But you are failing to understand that the risk is precisely ZERO - no risk atall - nonedonnajunkie wrote: »I am not denying the risk is likely to be fairly low .donnajunkie wrote: »but you are failing to argue why its better to put it on your expensive console instead of a cheap firestick.
It isnt better - or worse - it is exactly the same - that is the point
If you already own an xbox then why buy a firestick to put kodi on :huh:
In fact Kodi will run much much better on an xbox due to the vastly superior processing power
Your comment is like telling me why i am not arguing why it is better to run netflix on an xbox or a firestick - there is no arguement to make- because both have zero risk associated ..
For programs to run on an xbox, they have to be digitally signed by microsoft - that is a cold hard fact.
It is impossible for malware to run on an xbox - and as i mentioned above, there is the nanovisor and dual operating systems too - You really need to educate yourself on these comments you are stating as fact, because someone might read them and believe you !!
I could go on forever , for example how is an addon for kodi supposed to affect the xbox system ? all it can do is interact with kodi
etc etc etc bored now0 -
You seem very keen for people to put dodgy stuff onto their consoles. You almost seem to be ordering people do so with your tone. You say its 100% safe and you may well be right, at least for now but what if someone unscrupulous decides to try and work around it and succeeds in the future?Please stop spouting this rubbish - of course they dont invalidate your warranty - good grief !!! where are you getting this stuff from ???
