Here are the ones I got a few months ago. They seem pretty good.

So I dont have an HD cable box with hdmi out in the room my Xbox One is going. Is there a cheap AV to HDMI converter I can get to run it into the Xbox's HDMI in? I might just have to go ahead and get another HD cable box.

Edit. Sorry it actually took around 30 mins for Ryse.
We don't know the exact amount but it varies quite a lot, the more linear the game the sooner it seems.
If you have a friend buying some of the game you want you can use his disk to install them and then buy them digitally.

Anyone play any ACIV on their Xbox One yet? Haven't seen many reviews of the Xbone version outthere and curious to hear how it looks.
For a standby function that is absolutely massive.
Just compare it to other devices, where you can use a remote-control to switch them on and have a power consumption < .5 W:
- PS3
- X360
- every modern TV
etc...
I know, in the "Instant-On" Mode you have several other functions that can justify a power consumption between 10-15W. The point is, that there should be a stand-by mode, where the power consumption is very low (< .5W) and you can switch on the device remotely. Like in all examples above...
But I don´t know if the statement in the quoted review is correct. I would appreciate it if one of you guys could check if it´s really not possible to switch on the XOne remotely in "Save Energy"-Mode.
I'm thinking about doing the unthinkable....
Might camp out for a Xbone tonight. Just for shits and giggles. There really aren't any launch games I'm interested in. But it's nice knowing that I'll have one once more games come out. I have no interest in Kinect or the TV bullshit either. But new shiny tech piques my interest
Hmmmm... I just got my PS4 last week with a shit load of games. I absolutely love it too. It's not like I need another console anytime soon. I would only get Ryse anyway. But hey...why not?
Decisions...

Dead rising was really quick for me. Ryse took fucking forever for my mate.
Can someone post this? http://www.polygon.com/2013/11/21/5129776/xbox-one-party-system
This is a rather important piece and it is just like Microsoft to wait to the day before launch to put it up.

Just got my Xbox One and been messin around for like 2 hours. Does anyone know if you can send voice messages? I can't see the option when going to send a message to friends, no idea why this was taken out unless I'm missing it. Love the controller though, the dashboard is nice and fast, console is extremely quiet. Graphics in Dead Rising 3 are a bit disappointing though. The scale is amazing and the number of zombies but it doesn't look any better than something like The Last of Us but I guess that's the trade off for having such a big world and I'm sure engines and graphics will improve over time. Game looks like it's gonna be fun though. Look forward to trying Crimson Dragon and Killer Instinct next.
Any X1 friends? I wonder if it is gen restricted? For voice? No idea really though.
Huh?
You're comparing the standby mode on a X360, PS3 and TV to a Xbox One?
Really?
How many of those devices will continually upload/download while updating your system?
How many can turn on using voice commands by listening all the time for them?
How many can respond to requests to download over the internet while staying in standby mode?
The PS4 uses 70 watts in standby mode while downloading.
Maybe you can give the nyko Charge station a shot? i have it preordered at amazon. They will prolly not last as long as eneloops but its a nice little controller base so i can put it down everynight and will be fully charged the next day. It comes with custom rechargable batteries with "special contact points" for two controlllers. Here's a linky if interested

I bet this is the case, since they're using different methods for processing voice chat audio.
Obviously you haven´t read the second part of my post...
Thx, but it´s not about recharging the controllers, it is about turning on the console remotely in energy saving mode.Maybe you can give the nyko Charge station a shot? i have it preordered at amazon.

Anyone have those videos where the Wii U or the PS4 were connected to the Xbox One?
Can someone confirm, that the XOne can´t be switched on via the controller when in Off-Mode? (Power Consumption ~0.3W). Would be a step back from this generation...
That´s what a German review site states:
http://www.golem.de/news/xbox-one-im-test-neue-generation-alte-ladezeiten-1311-102833-3.html
Translation:
The power consumption in "Save Energy" mode is 0.2 to 0.4 Watt - in this mode it isn´t possible to switch-on the Xbox One with the controller.
From the Xbox Support Page:
So power button probably means the button at the console, not the button on the controller...
Maybe they got their wires crossed at some point and misinterpreted "Kinect controller" with "gamepad".

Trying to message other friends also on Xbox One btw. Also I used to use the AV cable on 360 to get audio through my PC and out of my PC speakers but since there's no AV input anymore, I guess I'll need to use optical and an adapter.

I game on 32" 720p. (1080p tv in the living room , but there i have gaming pc)
So this resolutiongate doesnt bother me much as long other stuff is similar, but i have some questions.
As i understand it the the process will be like this
Native game resolution -> upscaled to 1080 by xbox (if needed) -> downscaled to 720p by tv
- how will this downscale (downsampling) affect aliasing? Will it help?
- bf4 is 720p native, same as my tv. So it will be upscaled to 1080 and then downscaled back to 720p. Will that look better than if i get ps4 version which is 900p (so 900->1080->720p) or it should be the same?
- nba 2k14 is 1080p with now AA. Will downscaling to 720p help with AA? I have no intention to get that game but i am curious how will this work
TV is old Sony Bravia so i have no clue how good is the scaler.
Can xbox1 be forced to output 720p direcly (so that xbox does the downscaling)?

That's not going to happen apparently for now, seems like they want you to use the normal stand-by.

You should set it on your TV stand if possible.

Phat if you could, when you played Ryse yesterday did you notice compression artifacts in the first cutscene? The df footage shows a noticeable amount of it, but the footage is also compressed (2gb of 15 minutes).
That aside....wow, the music, Marius voice acting. I can't wait to play this game.
We have had a few in here.

Haven't heard of any busted XBO as yet. Very cool.
