Every video I've seen has the one guide overlay on top of it with xbox watch X commands. I want to turn that overlay off.

you have to choose to set up one guide. If you don't it doesn't exist.

you can still if you wish have it control your tv, set top box and Av receiver. They are set up in a separate menu.

Well, I preordered Zoo Tycoon from Walmart.com thinking it would be here for the launch. Hasn't even shipped yet but has been "processing" (which means I can't cancel the order) for eight days now. Lovely service. Should have just planned on hitting a Walmart store after Gamestop tonight.

Oh well. Will have plenty of games while I wait for it. My daughter is excited for it, though.

24 minutes to the Spike launch special. Will watch that and then head out to GS (it will be ten pm here when it is over). Temperature is down to two degrees. Will be a cold launch.

Will my day one edition come with any amount of xbl gold trial? I just need enough until Black Friday when there's cheap subscriptions for sale.

Gamestop has them for 40 dollars.

I got one earlier today.

The keychain was not included but I did also get that at gamestop for free.

I meant its the only major issue being reported by owners right now

That's fine and I know there is no thread for it but man does it annoy me. It happened last week and it had me scared to turn on my PS4. I feel for the people who's system goes to hell but there is no way to know what the extent of anything right now.

Dear Xbox One, please let me turn off rumble. I don't want this shit. I will not play with you until you show me that option.

Thanks


Entering disappointed territory right now. So much stuff that is super annoying already.

I mean I haven't even gotten the console and I'm super disappointed from what I have seen. I love new technology. If it is really bad I will be taking it straight back to the store before the return date.

I've just got early adopter fever. However, I can tell this thing is half baked at best and I really should not be buying this at launch. Thought it would be nice to at least be able to compare it to my ps4.

That is usually handled by the in game options, not globally.

Which game are you playing?

Wow, huge lightning storm right now (Sydney). It's quiet and trouble free - it would be funny if it died by lightning storm!

Pretty sure Maninthemirror meant that the disc grinding noise was the major issue right now, not that hardware problems are a major issue with Xbox One.

Yeah, he missed out two words "the only" - go easy on the lad.

I would love that keychain too. Are they requiring any purchase to get the $40 deal? I may go at midnight just to get a card.
 
Pretty sure someone said amazon will have it for $35 on BF.

But 14 days will be perfect. Any restrictions on 14 day trials?

Edit: wait does that include the $20 killer instinct?? I'll be stopping by GameStop if so...
id like to know if it has the $20 KI too. Someone please verify

Then don't buy it.

You could remedy that yourself in about 4 1/2 minutes if you have a couple tools:

But I'm sure that's not the answer you're looking for.

Fuck no.

This was an option on 360. Why is this missing on the Xbox One? Ugh man.

Also this shit fest that is language right now. No Microsoft I don't want to play all of my games in German just because you force me to use German as a system language. Damn man this thing will be unusable for me the first few months. Thank god the PS4 comes out next week.

Ok. Are you just locally turning it off game by game for now?

I know it's just a band aid but until there is another solution...

If the game allows it, yeah. But NFS Rivals doesn't have that option.

I can just take it back. I like to decide the situation of the console on my own. I bought a PS4 last week and i'm getting an X1 this week.

I'll have some good feeling of how these next gen consoles compare at launch.

Do we know which PS4 games are timed exclusives? Played a little Octodad at GameStop earlier today and while the game is as weird as crap, it caught my interest.

I don't get it. What are you guys annoyed/disappointed with? o_O

Has anyone done a wrap up of what the triggers do so far for each game/what games use it?

I just read on twitter it apparently pulses in AssCreed when your health is low.

I understand what you are saying, but putting all that negative drivel that you posted is not making this thread any better. If you have such reservations about the unit, then why waste the time in buying it just to take it back?
 
I have a gut feeling the Xbox one will sell more in the U.S than the PS4 during the first 24 hours.

That would definitely surprise a lot of people considering that MS is launching in more countries worldwide and may have set some of the yield to other countries than the US.

Well got Forza up an running. Really loving those impulse triggers I know I've mentioned it a thousand times already but damn it's probably my favorite new thing about the console. Those Day 1 updates are deadly though. I really hope this sort of thing doesn't extend into the consoles lifecycle.

Kudos to you for editing your post. It was unnecessarily aggressive.

Yeah, I know. I just don't get why people bitch and moan on a thread about Xbox One and then still buy it with the most likely intentions to take it back. Anyways, let's move on to some more hype/impressions!
