External HDD support or changed the HDD?
 
Where the hell is our update, Sony! x'(

Honestly, its not even about Sony not getting any substantial firmware out. Its honestly not.

For me, its about not getting any sort of update from them at all.

Gotta give MS praise. They went out there, and said and showed what they are working on and even gave a general timeline.
 
Expect a PM shortly. I'm at work so it may take me a few secs to get the email open on my pc.

Although you appear to be an Arsenal fan so no. ;)

Jk. Bear with me for a min

Haha, I am an Arsenal fan. You should take some pity on the fact that we are about to get smashed out of the Champions League and are slowly pissing away any shout at wining the EPL title.

It's always been this way. I think there is one simple explanation for why this is.

As far as we can gather, the Playstation firmware teams have always been based out of Japan. Japan is not exactly known for being open and accommodating. They'll let you know when they think you should known, and not a minute sooner. That usually means you know a day before it happens.

Microsoft being a U.S based company has always chosen to be more vocal about what they're up to.

Feel your pain bro. MAN U fan here. Clearly our season isn't even remotely going in the same direction. If today's performance is any indication, then its going to be a shit show.
 
Got my code today, will give it a go when I get home tonight.

Has there been any word on the Dolby Digital support? DTS is great and my receiver works fine with it, but my TV only supports DD.
 
i've never been so annoyed that saying "XBOX On" actually works lol...took a nap and was hoping maybe the update would have happened...said "XBOX On" and everything turned on...ugh...

*obviously not really annoyed...just looking forward to the update...

Didn't they say that future updates (after the February one) would be completely downloaded and installed in sleep mode?
 
Anyone still need an invite? I am in officially got the 3:19am confirmation and did a round of invites on the forums this morning. Was going do a second if any Gafers need in still.
 
It does that doesn't it. You have to put it on Instant on mode though. All my updates have done so while on this mode.

Yeah, but until now after the console downloads the update it goes to off (not stand by) and only installs the update on the next power on.

Now, the console will supposedly install on sleep mode too, when you turn on the console will be updated and ready for you :) (At least I think they said it would)
 
Just got my code, and decided to input it. Now my screen just says "Loading. Please wait." Been like this for 15 minutes now. Is this normal? Should I just reboot??

Really?

I didn't have to install anything when i turned my xbox on after the last major update. It went straight to the dash and let me play my game. Interesting though.
 
So I entered my code and it said it was the Xbox One preview. Then it popped up a notification that I could open the Preview Registration app which I did and it just gives me a loading screen. Is there anything for me to download or fill out in the app at this point, or am I good to go?

If it's stuck at the loading screen(like mine was) then power off your system and power it back on and run the app again. It should immediately prompt you to continue. I got this windows like loading screen all black background with white font the first time I clicked the app

Thanks, that worked. Is it true what the registration in that app says that they aren't accepting everyone who had a code and registers?
 
Didn't get an e-mail but I did just receive an Xbox message with a redemption code. Loaded the app and registered. Now it says I have to wait 24-48 hours for the registration to process.

Cant wait to try out the new dash update! :)

Not sure unfortunately. Might just be something to save their asses incase something goes wrong. I keep checking GAF to see if anyone got prompt for an update lol.
