Cable Forum - The Xbox One Thread

Seems a bit odd they can't all get them by the same date.

I've got the headphones on order from Amazon, and will probably get the remote control.

I did think about just getting the adaptor and using my Sharkoon headset I have for my 360, but that would tie up the optical output, and I need that for my AV receiver.

Another reason I should get around to getting an HDMI AV receiver I guess, then I could get surround sound via my home cinema system and still also have surround sound headphones.

-----------------

Oh, remember the Call of Duty: Ghosts "Digital Combo Pack" that Amazon briefly sold very cheaply, only for it to shoot back up in price?

It's gone down again... Currently £26.50:

Digital download for Xbox 360 and Xbox One. You renew the code via a 360 or Xbox.com, and it then shows as available for free for the Xbox One on the console's own Store.

hopefully stays that price till this friday

The Xbox One’s new price at Maplin is £80 less than the console’s launch price, and brings the price in line with that of the PS4. It is already out of stock, although Maplin is also selling a FIFA 14 bundle for £379.99.

It better have streaming from a network drive too.

The Xbox One was able to stream Movies from a network drive on day one, I use a DNLA app on my smart phone called "Media House".

Music, pictures and film, (MKV files do not work) you do not need to select or change anything on the xbone, works from the home screen.

But I will give it a go though and compare it to the 360.

Re: The Xbox One Thread

As SnoopZ said, that's not a good way of doing it, especially compared to the 360/PS3.

On the 360/PS3, you can browse your shared media folder/drive and choose what you want to play via the console.

On the Xbox One, you can't do that at all. You have to push it from the PC using "Play To" if you use Windows 7/8, or you have to use an app on a smartphone to select what you want and push it to the console.

Far more awkward than last gen.

New Beta Update Coming:

For those of you that participated in last month’s (1403) update preview, this preview wave will be a little different:

The 1404 update preview will run a bit longer than the 1403 preview. As a result, not all of the features listed below will be available in the first 1404 update. Some features will be enabled in 1404 updates that are rolled out later in the preview.
Some of the features listed below will be enabled outside of a console update. Keep an eye on the forums for announcements and information on when new features are made available.

What’s new in this release?

Game and app saves and updates. A game save progress bar will show you the status of your game saves. You will also be able to easily tell what games and apps are being updated or have been updated recently.
Friends improvements. Notifications will be added to see when favorites and friends sign in to Xbox Live. This actually was one of the most frequently requested features from the first preview wave and we made it a priority to include it in the April update. Also, friends who are in multiplayer will be identified in the friends list. We’ll also add the ability to view friends’ most popular apps.
Blu-ray 50 Hz video output support for content recorded at 50 Hz will resolve video playback issues some Xbox Live members in Europe are experiencing.
Kinect voice and motion improvements will continue to fine tune the quality and reliability of Xbox One commands.
Improved GameDVR video quality through compression algorithm improvements.
Updates to Xbox One device management to address issues controlling TVs, set top boxes, and receivers that our customers have reported.
New audio settings to tune how much volume is lowered when Kinect is used in communications.

Re: The Xbox One Thread

I'd assume that the 50Hz BD support will also apply to 50Hz PAL DVDs - same issue, same app.

Re: The Xbox One Thread

For some reason my console was in energy saving mode today so I thought I may of had the update. So I turned it off and then back on 10 mins later and I had the update. :D
