Xbox One S Thread: The S is for Sexy

What's the cheapest option? Only want to upgrade for the 4k Blu-ray/hdr netflix. Is there a cheap bundle with a digital gow4 code that could be used to get the pc version?
 
These are my errors I don't think they are normal. I have a 4K TV. The tv connection is not set to automatic. It's set to HDMI. It doesn't let me change the TV resolution to 4K. The color depth is set to 36 bits and my color space is PC RGB. The second picture is with tv connection auto detect. So weird.

My bad. 55H7B2 Hisense. Got it on Black Friday for like $200 so not surprised if I am missing features. Just weird when I try to manually do it everything is fucked.

Are you going through a receiver? Color depth should be set to 30 and color space to Standard, not PC. If you still don't get green checks, there's certainly a setting issue or perhaps only certain HDMI ports on the TV are fully 4k compliant.
 
Cool IGN 'Happy Hour' with Phil Spencer here from the other day if you haven't seen it. Maybe it's already been posted.

50 minute 'interview', talks about quite a few things. Not much new stuff though.

You should consider an external hard drive
 
I thought I'd have a problem with a non-black console with everything else on my desk being black, but damn if this console doesn't look sleek, sexy, and premium.

Gonna ride till Scorpio with this one
 
Picking up my Gears of War xbone S tomorrow, I can't wait!

Traded in my phat.

Have ordered a Kinect adapter from MS but after realising it needs power and a USB port I don't think I will use it. Three USB ports on an Xbox one, I have two hard drives connected and a play and charge kit.

Plus really, a Kinect adapter needs mains power?!
 
Excited to get my gears xbox one s this week. Can finally retire my gears 3 xbox 360.

Looking at titles to get that are console exclusive since I use my PS4 as my main gaming machine this generation.

So far on my list I have the following:
Titanfall
Forza Horizon 3
Gears Ultimate Edition
Rare Replay
Ori
Halo 5
Halo MCC
Forza 5 and 6

I am unsure about these titles:
Quantum Break
Sunset Overdrive
Dead Rising 3
ReCore

Any suggestions or feedback? Thanks!

Sunset drive is good fun.
 
Sorry to repost this again but I've yet to get an answer and it's driving me mad...

Anytime I try and manage my storage on my new One S it tells me I need to search for an app in the store? When I click this it yields no results. Any ideas?
 
Wich app? Or doesnt it say?

I didn't know that I needed an app to manage storage. I click on the internal HDD, then select view contents. It then asks me to search for an app in the store.

When I do so it yields no results.

I've called support 4 times and they seem baffled and incompetent when it comes to resolving this!!

Install sizes on xbox one are ridiculous tbh.

Like I said the other day I filled mine up day one with Halo 5, Master Chief Collection, Bioshock Collection and The Crew
 
It was probably a strategic move by MS to make people buy more HDD space since they bundled both Halo games with the 500GB which already takes up about 40% of memory.

Why the sudden craze for Kinect all of a sudden? I sold my kinect last week for £30+ on ebay to my surprise. I only found it useful for Skype and shouting 'Xbox, record that'.
 
Just got it and installing updates.

Is the WIFI chip on this different to the Xbox One?

I keep getting loads of lag and packet loss, which I never got before. So frustrating.

Doesn't matter if i'm on the 2.4ghz network or the 5ghz network. :(
 
Boy you are unsure about Sunset Overdrive?!?! That shit should be on top of yo list, son. Similar for Quantum Break.
Also, no point in getting FM5 if you get FM6. It would be like buying FIFA 16 after buying FIFA 17.
And get Forza Horizon 3 and Gears of War 4 now, you can get Gears remastered on a deep deep sale instead. Master Chief Collection is $10 on CDKeys, and get Halo 5 when you can. See how Titanfall 2 turns out, if it's good there's no point in getting the first.

Nice recommendation. I would add Recore to the library too (even with the loading times).
 
Does the xbox one allow youtube streaming?

Not natively, no. Which is a shame because the Twitch app blows.

Be nice if they fixed the colour range for non-HDR output too

The OS is pretty huge.

Damn son you came back?
Dat back compat input lag fix bring you back?
 
For those picking up an S, I highly recommend picking up a 2-3TB external, they aren't very expensive and it improves loading at times.

Also I recommend/demand you buy a copy of Lost Odyssey somewhere and play the best JRPG from last gen (and best Final Fantasy since X).

On the AC wireless it seems to have issues. I had to switch to the older one to stop the connection issues. My Apple TV which sits beside it has no issues on the AC connection. Something is up.

Just get an external and be done with it. You are going to need it.

I have a 1 TB. Don't plan on getting much games outside exclusives
 
Damn this thing is small.

Just got my S and 10 min's on chat and my Kinect adaptor is on its way.

Now to buy a 4K TV.
 
Picked up a Gears 4 system yesterday. I'm impressed with the small size and the lack of external power unit. And, they're continuing the "game sounds" when you turn the system on from the special edition 360s. I started downloading Gears last night.

The 2TB is nice. I've transferred most of my content over, and I still have more than half of the drive's space. No MCC or Halo 5 installed yet, though.
