Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

A refreshed Xbox One Controller is coming, this one will have a standard 3.5mm headset jack, not sure if anything else changes.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Looks like someone at MS updated that support page prematurely - all mention of the new one with the 3.5mm socket has gone now.

Still, it'd be good to have one that doesn't need the adaptor.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I wonder if there will be changes to the console itself, maybe a bigger internal drive?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

SnoopZ one for you to read http://www.kotaku.com.au/2015/06/the...-unbelievable/

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I skimmed through it and will read more when i have time, looks complicated doesn't it!

Not played the game in a while as play Sunset atm, have you improved your track times which i need to beat? :)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Is everyone that went 100% digital still all digital?

The price of older games on disk is far cheaper now, so unsure whether to change or not.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I'm still buying newer games digitally but where I can get them really cheap I buy older games on disc.

My local independant store is so cheap for used games. Got GTA for £32 and Watchdogs for £10 and Farcry 3 for £15 recently.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Bought all my games so far on disc, I find the digital version is more expensive than the disc version.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

At CDkeys.com there are some good cheap deals for digital, also you should always look at the offers on the Dashboard as i have got a few good deals there.

EA Access will have another game in the vault soon, i hope it isn't another bloody sports one! Would love it to be Battlefield Hardline but it maybe the Dragon Age: Inquisition according to rumours as Titanfall was said to never go on it.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I'm still all digital. Will keep an eye on cdkeys.com though for cheap deals :)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I buy all my games on disc.

The exception is the free games that Gold give. Plus I bought Minecraft on digital as it was only 99p

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Me too, the only exception is for the episodic Telltale games and PC games on Steam sales or in Humble bundles.
But I don't ever spend more than £9.99 on a digial game.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

If anyone collects Tesco Club card vouchers you can currently double them up in value and use on console games, so for every £5 voucher they give you £10!

Sounds like a good deal to me.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Does the One do demos for games? I want to play the new F1 game due out in July but don't want to fork out for it unless I know I am going to like it and will play it. Might look at STEAM to see if they do a demo for the PC version.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Not many demos at all.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

There are some demos but not a lot.

Think Ride was the last demo out.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Titanfall appears to be available for EA Access members now. Not showing in hub but looks like it can be downloaded for free via store. I already have it so can't verify.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I am not happy it is Titan fall as i own it and they always said it would never go on ea access.

Good for the people who dont own it though.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I am still 100% digital. Every game so far. Not an Xbox One game disk insight

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Can someone check to see if Netflix app is working on the Xbox One please as mine isn't?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I still need an external HDD. Not been able to afford it yet and 98% full now.

New job starting in 2 weeks.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Me too especially with everything being announced at E3

J

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Noticed I can't see any of my already purchased games and on the xbox.com/status page shows there are issues just now. Must be the GOW beta thing and backwards compatibility that everyone is trying to get on.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Yes loads of things don't work here, but they don't report these issues on the status page.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Even my Pins aren't showing up.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Can anyone invite me to the Xbox Preview Program? :D

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Whats your GT again and I'll send you one.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Cheers!

It's CaptainSpiff!

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Lol I like the tag!

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I hope more devs take note on adding mods to console games like Fallout 4. That should be awesome.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Not everyone is in the preview programme, like me since I just got my XB1 :(

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I can send you and invite if you want one still, you need to be on my friends list though?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

video link for 360 games running on xboxone

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEDyS0Gd5RU

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Just noticed i have a few X360 games listed for installing on my X1 dash, these are the FREE games with Gold ones so all digital, i suggest everyone collect the free X360 games each month now they may possibly work on the X1.

---------- Post added at 16:19 ---------- Previous post was at 16:16 ----------

I wonder if they look better running on the X1 than X360, if so i may have to buy some X1 games!

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Anyone who knows my tag, mjcherts, and is a friend who wants to invite me then please feel free to do so.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Done! May take a while not sure what happens next, there will be an appointment for it.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Cheers Snoop.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Anyone playing gears ultimate beta , very smooth , loving it so far but I am a serious gow fan !!!

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

How do you get it as I couldn't find it?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Got my code but not installed it.

Anyone tried the streaming to Windows 10 yet?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Not tried it, not really sure what to expect and as PC is in same room I don't need it.

Has anyone tried any Xbox 360 games on the X1 as I tried Toy Solders and it plays perfect, just need the disk based games to work!?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I got a code sent in a message to my xbox account from MS.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Just registered for Gears, I went via their website.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I have tried Viva Pinata and Perfect Dark, They work perfectly and so smooth.

My X1 is connected to the main TV in the living room so means I can stream to my Macbook in bootcamp and connect to the TV in the bedroon easily without moving the console.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

So the X1 controller just has to be in range of the x1?

---------- Post added at 23:44 ---------- Previous post was at 23:07 ----------

You can pre order the new X1 controller for £130!!!!!!!! From Game, bloody ridiculous!!! I was expecting £60.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

It looks nice, but it's too expensive and I'd be unlikely to make any use of the customisation.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Same here.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

It's the customization that is the reason for the price. Mainly for pro gamers I'd think.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

To be honest, the original Xbox One controller just feels 'cheap' when compared with the 360 one and the thumbsticks are too small.

For £130 I'd hope this new one is a lot better made, let alone all of its gadgets

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I've been using the Titanfall Xbox One controller ever since it was released. Much better quality (IMO) than the "Day One" edition controller.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I personally think the X1 controller feels a lot better than the 360 controller and a much better feel.

Been using X1 to Win 10 streaming again tonight. Works great for me and no problems at all.

I think you are supposed to have an xbox controller connected to Win 10 as I get asked everytime I start streaming to connect one. However just continuing I can still use the controller sync'd to the X1.

Probably should try it out though as will maybe work better if I go out of range of the X1.

Tried to Gears Ultimate beta today. Looks and feels a lot smoother.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

There might be a demo for the game, which in turn could gift you something if you buy the full version.

But as SnoopZ says there aren't many, you could try the xbox magazines to see if there is a demo free with them.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

The Demos will be several GB at least so i wouldn't expect to see on the front of a magazine, but i could be wrong.

---------- Post added at 19:41 ---------- Previous post was at 19:39 ----------

EA access now has Titanfall in the vault, the next game is rumoured to be dragon age inquisition, glad i haven't bought that 1.

Has everyone here with an X1 signed up to this EA Access, if not then why not as it seems a great deal unless you already own all the games?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

It was confirmed at the EA E3 thing that it will be the next game, possibly August time.

It really is a great deal and also they may end up adding some of their 360 games to the vault which would be brilliant.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

The new controller sounds really awesome.

http://gizmodo.com/so-this-is-what-a...ium=socialflow

It is expensive and mainly aimed at pros but I really want one.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I predict a minimum £120

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Any of you guys going to buy it?

It looks great but it isn't for me at that price.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I'll end up buying it.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I bet I bloody end up buying it :erm: :D

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

£100+ for a controller no chance I pay that

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I bet the price drops alot 6 months after release.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I'll definitely be buying it :)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I have quite a bit saved on my Game rerward card so may end up putting it towards that controller.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I doubt I'll buy it as I have destroyed several controllers after playing certain games online.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I'll wait until next year when the price drops to around £50 because no can possibly be stupid enough to pay £130 for a gamepad, surely? :D

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Microsoft have seen a niche in the market , people have been buying scuff game pads for ages and the decent pads start at £114 before even customising them. At least 4 people on my friends list have the scuff pads and say they make a huge difference, when you compare the ms pad with the scuff pad with all the extra paddles and thumb sticks it looks like pretty good value to me. I spent £120 on a fragfx shark pro when I played on the 360 and it was really really good , being able to remap buttons on the new ms controller already had me sold :)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Its at ten on Amazon's top pre orders since E3

So there must be a lot of folk wanting it.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

With EA Access, aren't you supposed to lose access to any games that you installed when your subscription ends?
Because mine ended Monday and I can still play Titanfall and Fifa 15 :/

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Yes you're meant to lose access to them, is it only those 2?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I only have those two installed
If I just say "Xbox, go to Titanfall/Fifa 15" the game boots up and I can play.
I don't have auto renew on, haven't been charged and I received the cancellation email.

I'm not complaining though, I'll just keep playing those games until they realise and switch off access. :D

I'm going to renew for the year though when my Gold expires in a couple of months anyway

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I think I will let mine expire and see what happens, but I will renew again. As £20 a year is easily worth it, unless someone insists on buying EA games on release.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I'll probably get FIFA for Christmas, the game I want most is the new F1 game. Videos on YouTube look amazing, and I missed out on the last game as they scrapped plans to release it for the One.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

...and it's gone.
Maybe they gave subscribers an extra few days because access was free during E3?


And yeah, it's totally worth it. Gold from CDkeys and EA Access for £19.99 is pretty much the total retail price for a years Gold alone.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

If you like them on Facebook it's even cheaper... You can also get your credit for EA Access off there and save more. It's not much more but it's a saving.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

So I bought Halo MCC earlier as it was going cheap on the Xbox dash, which Halo game is considered to be the most popular for split screen play?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I am on the preview program now (cheers!) but how do I get the new dashboard up?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Settings, then it will tell you if there is an update to click on.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I think I have the updates? Including the massive one last week.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

The last main update was for backwards compatibility so if you're upto date then if you go to My Games and Apps, you may see some of your 360 games ready to install.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

No dashboard preview yet?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Nope, not yet.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

ah makes sense. No games on Xbox One Backwards Compatibility yet that I own.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

You could buy the excellent Mass Effect for £2.99 :)

http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-GB/Pr...=Game#LiveZone

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I was also wondering if it was worth buying cheap 360 games in the hope they will work great on the X1.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Right now I wouldn't do that cause not many games have been added.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Not planning to yet, I hope they do the games with gold.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Buy understanding with backward compatibility is that the top games will be done first, then what the most people ask for.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

That is more than likely the case, however as it doesn't officially launch till never the end of the year by which time there will be 100 titles in BC. Right now it is just a test/trial so there are only 25 titles.

I imagine there will be more added to the trial before the official launch.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Does anyone know if it will be possible to play 'World of Tanks' in split screen (2 local people) either in a local game or in a xbox live multiplayer game?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I don't believe it is split screen.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

They always ruin games this way, wasn't it split screen on the Xbox 360 in either local or Xbox Live as i have seen a pic?

Edit..... looks like it wasn't a real split screen!

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Anyone else lost XBL tonight?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

https://support.xbox.com/en-GB/xbox-live-status

It's screwed.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Does anyone else suffer painfully slow Xbox One downloads despite having super-badass fibre broadband?

Someone on the Elite forums posted the following tip, due to ED's CQC update being really bloody slow:

Change your Xbox One's DNS to Google's Public DNS!

https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/?hl=en

Go to Settings > Network > DNS, and set manual DNS entries of 8.8.8.8 for the primary and 8.8.4.4 for the secondary.

Then go to Alternate Mac Address > Clear and let the console reboot.

Afterward, you should hopefully find that your download speeds are more like they should be.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I wouldn't say mega slow, but I will try that and see if it gets faster.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Downloading isn't too bad here but the installing takes bloody hours.

I can't change my DNS as already done that for using Netflix USA.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Yeah the downloading is not too bad, it is the installing or applying of updates that annoys me the most.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I read for disc installs we should disconnect from Xbox Live while installing, but not sure if it is possible to install digital games quicker.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

My XBOne is using OpenDS, and so far downloads have been fine, installing on the other hand......
