What are your thoughts on plugging the xbox one into a wall outlet directly or using a higher end surge protector? I've always used one but i see that like the 360 Microsoft is advising to plug the console directly into a wall out let.
I never use these protectors. Been through storms and electric charges. nothing serious at all. Each house is equipped with electric current jump prevention system, so in my opinion there is no point in using that. But still - it's your choice. If you would feel more secure - get it

Surges don't just happen during storm. When not using a pretector your allowing "dirty" power into your machine. Meaning the way power travels into you home and then into your console its not a steady steam. It resembles what you see on a heart monitor. These variances can be really bad for major electronics, surge protectors steady the stream so there's no peaks.

This isn't about wether or not to hook up all your equipment to the surge protector. I have an elaborate home theater and it a all run through two surge protectors. I'm talking specifically about the console. If you look on xbox one supports website under "connect your xbox one power supply" it specifically tells you not to do that and just go straight to a wall outlet. I can't post a link and tapatalk won't let me post the pic I have but it can be googled.
