Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

When my friend was playing Forza at a show the console crashed as it was loading the game, or maybe it was the game that crashed not sure, so i hope these things are not that common.

The size of the fan is massive in the X1 so hopefully that'll keep the thing cool too, and i read from the guy that got his early i think he said it was silent.

Larry has tweeted that free games on Gold will be coming to the X1 later in 2014.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

You may get it very early then, just don't connect to Xbox live if you do or it maybe banned.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I think after reading the stuff about the PS4 failures, I'll see if Microsoft offer an extended warranty

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Anyone know how much it cost for the 360?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I can't remember. I think MS stopped doing it ages ago, though.

GAME used to offer their own extended warranty for consoles purchased from them - not sure if they still do.

Amazon don't have their own, but do sell things like Squaretrade warranties. I have no idea if they're any good, though.


I have some sort of extended warranty cover via my bank account... I'll use that for my Xbox One.


Don't forget though that you always have the following:

- One year manufacturer's warranty.

- Up to six years of cover against goods being "inherently faulty" or not being "fit for purpose", via your statutory rights as a consumer thanks to the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (as amended). This is with the retailer, not the manufacturer.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Didn't Microsoft extend warranties to 3 years after the RROD issues.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I believe that was only for RROD though.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I have a feeling the X1 won't have any over heating problems judging by the size of the fan and case, but i have a feeling the PS4 may.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

that will be good for me if they are as trade in prices are rubbish for current gen not even 30 pound for virtually brand new titles i'll be looking about 50 quid upwards to upgrade

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

It would be great if lots of retailers sold DD versions, my problem though is HDD size, just hope when we get it all of that 500GB is free unlike the PS4 which only gave around 400GB free.

TV/IR set up...

Yup, only for the RROD and only for "fat" 360s.

Yeah, I think that MS has learnt from the past. That's not to say there won't be other issues though...

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I have a feeling the first free game for XBL gold will be Forza 5. Due to being less content filled than other games I can see this game jumping on the DLC wagon even though Forza 4 was the same. Regardless if they release it free for everyone they'll make money from more people inclined to purchase the car packs because they've never had to spend the £50 on the title.

Just my guess but if Microsoft steal this idea I want compensation in the form of full restoration of my Gamertag.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I am waiting for the reviews before I get the XBOX or PS4. PS4 looks ok but if the Xbox reviews are good i'll get that.
