Twitter user @Moonlightswami (https://twitter.com/Moonlightswami) has posted impressions on the Xbox One after claiming to receive his console early from Target (https://twitter.com/Moonlightswami/status/398985107887108096), Engadget reports (http://www.engadget.com/2013/11/09/early-xbox-one-details/?ncid=rss_truncated).
Moonlight Swami claimed (https://twitter.com/Moonlightswami/status/399030484564332545) that in its current state, the Xbox One takes 17 seconds to reach its dashboard during boot up. A 500 MB update was allegedly present (https://twitter.com/Moonlightswami/status/399070559343886337) after the console was booted for the first time, which could be the day one download (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/06/21/xbox-one-will-require-day-one-update/) that's required to use the system. Moonlight Swami stated (https://twitter.com/Moonlightswami/status/399121853912211456) he was also able to begin playing games once they were 50 percent installed onto the console's hard drive.
The Xbox One Marketplace seems to be partially stocked, as well - Moonlight Swami tweeted supposed screenshots (https://twitter.com/Moonlightswami/status/399077796166647808) of the marketplace detailing the download size for various games. The photos suggest the largest game available is NBA2K14 (http://www.joystiq.com/game/nba-2k14) at 43 GB, with Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag (http://www.joystiq.com/game/assassins-creed-4-black-flag/) trailing at 20 GB, Dead Rising 3 (http://joystiq.com/game/dead-rising-3) at 19 GB and LocoCycle (http://joystiq.com/game/lococycle) at 13 GB. Moonlight Swami also installed (https://twitter.com/Moonlightswami/status/399048248611987457) Call of Duty: Ghosts (http://joystiq.com/game/call-of-duty-ghosts) from a retail disc, which he claims requires 39 GB of hard drive space.
Moonlight Swami's tweets offer a glimpse (https://twitter.com/Moonlightswami/status/399018749988065280) at a supposed dashboard section for "featured challenges," which seem to be time-specific tasks for individual games. The involved picture shows things like playing a game of football within two weeks of Madden NFL 25 (http://www.joystiq.com/game/madden-nfl-25)'s launch, or earning 5 million SP during a certain period in Need for Speed Rivals (http://joystiq.com/game/need-for-speed-rivals).
The early impressions party stopped once Microsoft banned the console (https://twitter.com/Moonlightswami/status/399079605543243777), but Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb has reached out (https://twitter.com/majornelson/statuses/399195371848482818) to Moonlight Swami for information and to get the scenario "sorted out."
Update: In a NeoGAF thread related to the incident, Major Nelson has stated (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=89144032&postcount=2778)that Moonlight Swami's console "will not be permabanned, that is for sure." Kotaku is also reporting (http://kotaku.com/target-admits-error-shipped-small-number-of-xbox-one-1461447636) that a Target representative confirmed the shipment of a small number of consoles before their street date due to a "systems error."
