Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I found my XBOX 1 in the spare room today - 3 games with it. Halo, Max Payne and House of the Dead and you can pick up very cheap extra games in charity shops :-)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Amazon have done that a few times with me , it's not been till the next morning it's said out for delivery , hope that's the case .

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Looks great, hopefully it'll still look great on the consoles.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

You have to purchase it with the first 45 days of owning the console though :)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

It covers 2 controllers also, £20 each year is a good deal i think. :)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Yep, £479 (console in 2 x controllers) for me is quite an investment, and I want to be sure I'm covered if something goes wrong

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

For everyone going digital the game store is now live.

---------- Post added at 20:20 ---------- Previous post was at 20:16 ----------

I will probably get a few cheap digital games and the free Killer Instincts i am not paying £54.99 a game though! they're having a laugh!

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Ordered bf4 , will order another tomorrow :)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I am hoping my BF4 gets delivered tomorrow, they game is said to be extremely buggy though on the PS4 so i am expecting issues on the X1.

---------- Post added at 20:29 ---------- Previous post was at 20:26 ----------

Madgamer are you still going digital ONLY seeing the prices are £54.99? compared to shop price of £47?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Purchased CoD and Forza. Since I'm getting FIFA in the box that will be three games in total

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I know that's not aimed at me , but it's a no brainier , can't be bothered going to the shop , can't be bothered ordering it somewhere else for it to turn up a day late (took a chance on the console I know ;) )!!! , I've taken hours off work to pick a game up before now , that costs me more than £8 , now I can pre order digitally and it's downloaded when I get home :)

Plus instant switching will work without changing discs !!

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Yep I am :)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

There goes my plan for positioning the connect sensor below the TV, they want it no less that 2ft from the floor but they will have to make do with only 18inches or i will have to get a bracket and place it on the TV somehow that i don't want to do!

Money on trees, it is going to get so expensive for you as you won't get cheap game deals anymore that you may see in the shops for £20. :)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Amen about the instant switching, plus we can pay for them tonight for download tomorrow :)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

You could order online and not take time off work to collect a game. hehe

I would go digital if the prices were the same as retail, but only some of them are like DR3 and Forza 5.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Notice I've only ordered one game , allowing for the chance xbox live gets fried on day one ;)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I am expecting it to get fried, but we're lucky USA may not be out of bed yet and have their consoles, but the rest of Europe maybe! I hope it doesn't crash when i download Forza.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I have ordered a TV mount from Argos.

MS recommend a licensed 3rd party mount from PDP, but I can't find it anywhere in the UK and the Amazon US listing says it isn't out until December.

Given that you cannot just plonk it on top of your TV, I think that MS should have included a TV/wall mount with every console, or at least made sure they were available from launch.

If my mount does not turn up in time I'll have to shove the Kinect on top of the TV unit, in front of the TV... If there's room.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I don't like the orb logo on the front on that one, I will look at others if I can't place it below the TV with satisfactory results.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Couldn't you just leave it in the box?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Is this the PDP mount?

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Microsoft-Li...inect+tv+mount

Nope that is for the 360.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I'm wondering how easy it would be to make the top 10 on FIFA if I returned to playing it on Xbox :dozey: Not a fan of UT but this legends thing makes me want to play Xbox.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

What , the console lol ?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

No, the kinect. Didn't they backtrack and say it doesn't have to be connected for the Xbone to function anymore?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I heard Fifa isn't meant to be very good this time around.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Why would you do that when it makes it easier to navigate the dash , that is as long as you know the right commands as well as all the other benefits ?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I'm pro controller when it comes to Kinect too. I'd much rather use the controller than my voice or wave my hands about.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Thanks. Just brought Forza 5, KI and CoD:Ghosts

Media streaming info and links...

---


The Xbox One does not (yet?) have the same kind of media support as the Xbox 360, e.g. it can't currently play media stored on a USB device and it can't currently act as a client capable of browsing shared media on a UPnP Media Server such as TVersity or PS3 Media Server (which despite its name will stream content to all sorts of devices).

But... it is a DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) device, and can stream stuff from a DLNA source. Unfortunately at the moment it's not as simple as on the 360 - you can't just open up the Video app and then browse the shared folders of your media server.

What you need is a Windows 7 or 8 PC, which will let you use "PlayTo" to send stuff to the Xbox Video or Xbox Music apps.

Don't have Windows 7 or 8? Then you need a DLNA server and something to control it and push stuff to the Xbox One.

Such as Skifta...

I found this on Pocket-lint when searching for media streaming info:

Xbox One: How to stream content using DLNA


You install the Skifta server on your PC or Mac (or use something else that is DLNA), and then also install the Skifta app on an iOS or Android device. The mobile app lets you browse the content on the server and push it to the Xbox One.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Tried turning on and off, from both power states , even reset to factory settings , still not come back ?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I'm still waiting for "Amazon Logistics" to deliver mine. Expedited Delivery :rolleyes:

DPD? You get full tracking, with a specific window and even the ability to track the actual van as it makes its way to you.

Amazon Logistics? "08:16: Out for Delivery"... and that's it. I should allegedly get some form of SMS updates, but have had nothing so far.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I bet people who used Amazon's free delivery will get theirs before you do. :erm:

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

They already have... some of those at BXB used Amazon and had DPD for free.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

How much did this "expedited delivery" cost?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

A fiver, I think. I only chose it because the original delivery date was the 25th using free delivery, so I switched to "Expedited" and the date changed to the 22nd.

Of course, some time after that, *everyone's* date changed to the 22nd anyway as Amazon promised to ensure launch day delivery for all.

I should have switched back to free delivery :dunce:

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Amazon must be laughing at you right now. Anyone up for some Forza later? A few of us on BXB will be playing later.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

From what I can find, "Amazon Logistics" is "APLE", which is used for Prime deliveries... and seems to have a reputation to rival that of Yodel.

The APLE website says all vans have GPS, enabling live tracking (like DPD)...but if that's true, and it is APLE being used, why don't I have this tracking info?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I'm running the mandatory system update now :D

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

That website looks like it was designed by a 5 year old. You expect them to have GPS on that?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Anybody else got a homehub 4 ?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Ive found out how to change queue order now wooohooo.

On a sad note it seems for some reason the X1 will not output 7.1 via HDMI when connected to my amp. It has found the model but when i change the settings to 5.1 or 7.1 uncompressed it says it cant do it and gives error code :(:(:(

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Just got home from work and my neighbour presented me with the X1 delivery package!

Only just unpacked it so far, it looks gorgeous lol... far better than the photos online, luckily there isn't any apparent damage to the outside of the console although the shiny front and top can easily get scratched just by using a duster.

Time to fire this baby up and hope i don't have any issues!

brb in 2014!

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Ok so i have now sorted out the audio problem. I am having 2 others now, first one is TV keeps going blank when i switch back and forth sometimes and it wont reconisge me when i try to sign in with Kinect

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

If the screen is going blank when switching it could be an issue with the HDMI cable. Do you have another you could try?

---------- Post added at 14:25 ---------- Previous post was at 14:25 ----------

Oh, and how did you sort the audio problem?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

In regards to the cable, i do have another cable and will try one later. It keeps freezing when watching via X1 for some reason. In regards to the audio i have to turn the audio out setting on my amp from amp+tv to amp. Only down side is means i have to have amp on all time as sound wont come trough tv speakers

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Spoke to microsoft support , the reason I'm having issues with the tiles is bt homehub 4

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I have a weird issue with FIFA 14, I complete the introductory match and then choose end match, but it won't save my progress and then kicks me out of the game, back to the dashboard :(

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Note to all Day One people:

Check the Blu-ray drive!

There have been various reports of people receiving consoles with a faulty Blu-ray drive.

As always with the internet, complaints are louder than positive reports, but even so, it *is* a genuine problem that some people have suffered.

So, even if all your games are digital downloads, pop a disc in the drive to check it out (DVD or BD if you have no games).

I hope the other cable fixes it for you!

I've seen someone over at BXB saying they have similar problems with BT...

Did MS say what you can do?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

They said they know it's an issue and are working on a fix , I'm gonna try a different router

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Well my X1 seems to be behaving properly, no crashes or nasty grinding from the blu ray drive, everything is so quiet i can't hear anything, even the BF4 disk is currently installing and i hear nothing which is a good sign.

So i am currently downloading Forza and installing BF4 at the same time, actually you can't install Forza and BF4 at the same time, not a problem though.

1 minor issue i have is with the controller, the right grip is lose so it clicks in my hand when i grab hold of it, hopefully i will be able to take it apart and tighten something up but there isn't any screw holes underneath.

Anyone playing BF4 or Forza yet, what is it like?

---------- Post added at 15:36 ---------- Previous post was at 15:16 ----------

Just played Forza while it is downloading, all i can say is awesomeness!!! :D

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Ok so i am now really getting annoyed with Kinect. It is not picking up my commands. I am having to try over 5 times and when does work i just give up. Im unsure if i was use Kinect alot at mo with this in mind.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

The kinect mic is a brilliant workaround for headsets , perfectly clear , no need to shout , if you go on bf4 open the smartglass app for multiplayer , shows full map with live info, shows where spotted enemies are etc.

Kinect voice commands list.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I was like that at first , I can now set up partys seamlessly, don't shout at it , give a second between commands , say what you see when the next screen comes up rather than saying xbox before everything.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Voice commands seem to work pretty well here, you need to pause after saying Xbox.

Looks like it is a BF4 issue as you can see the thin silver towers flickering in this video, however i don't know which console this is from.

Confirmed this morning that I'll be receiving Project Cars free on Xbox 1 and PS4. Already got my PC version. My XBL will be changing due to me being permanently banned from EA servers on Xbox.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

This!

Also, I've noticed a few weird things with Kinect. One of them is that I just said "Xbox resume" because I had a game paused and it thought I said "Xbox go to".

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

My Orb Kinect mount arrived today from Argos.

Unfortunately, it's crap :(

The Kinect does not clip on securely... The clips on the mount don't work, I assume as the Kinect's based dimensions aren't quite what the people at Orb thought they'd be!

The mount itself also seems a bit precarious on top of the TV.

I think I'll stick it at the base of the TV for now instead, until a better TV mount comes along...

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I am disappointed how Battlefield 4 looks, too many jaggies i didn't think i would see anywhere as much as i did on it so it maybe that the PS4 looks far better at 1080p.

---------- Post added at 18:04 ---------- Previous post was at 18:01 ----------

I have a nasty feeling that TV programmes maybe affected running through the X1 where it is juddery a bit when panning, the only way for me to test would be to plug the V+ in direct and retest though, so may do this tomorrow, anyone else notice anything different when watching TV?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I had another issue, i was playing Fifa and without saying a single word it recorded a game clip. It did this twice. Then when i wanted it to record it didnt. Not sure what happened

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Where is your connect located? Maybe try calibrating it again.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

My mate says Kinect learns you and your voice as well. Is this correct? If so then it might start actaully doing what i want it do do

i'll join matt just ain't got xbox one yet should have it before xmas with any luck

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I have had it below the TV so its on the top shelf, i have had it on top of TV. I have done the Kinect setup 3 times. Its on top of TV at moment as well. I think im getting about a 50% hit rate

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

OK i have a problem i am guessing it won't be just me can others please test.

I have confirmed that while watching TV through the Xbox One if the camera pans to the left or right then the picture judders on my TV, if i go direct to my TV then there is no judder, tested this watching the intro of Marvels of Steel where it is a car wrecking yard and it pans across the screen, super smooth connected direct but judders alot more going through the Xbox!

So it looks like the Xbox processing is likely the issue!!! Not happy at all.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I havnt seen this but as i said in previous posts i have had a few issues. Sometimes takes the audio a while to come on when ethier switching or snapping TV. Sometimes it hangs for a few secs as well. I think its a software issue (i hope)
