This allows greater experience because of the personalization besides the greater integration of other available services that are available to you through the same platform.

The best thing about the Comcast Xbos Xfinity is the control of the Xbox. You can control the Xfinity with the same control that you have on the Xbox gaming zone which include the use of hands and voice to control the experience. Also the unlimited data access is a plus because you can now access the data without fear of exceeding the data capacity that was initially set at 250GB cap. Access by just use of the Xbox primary account gives control in the TV usage especially when you want to give the household access to the Xbox but want to limit their usage of the Xfinity TV. With the ongoing development of the Xbox 720 which definitely provides more power and experience over the current Xbox 360 the future is brighter for the Xfinity TV and more will be delivered.
