So had my One for around 3 hours (UK) patch and games all installed, it's all very pretty and I'm very impressed. No idea what the issue with surround sound is, mine works just fine.

I'm so happy next gen is here.

Also, got a FIFA14 code, want to swap for a Forza code...
 
Hey guys I'm here.. I got a bag with a green beanie, green T, an xb1 controller key chain, and an xb1 medallion key chain. I'll upload a pic if TMobile allows me.

That deadmau5...thing...was terrible. The audience looked about as into it as I was here on my couch. I really hate live shows.

Not the kind of music that comes across well on tv, either, I think. But, yeah... the crowd did not look into it at all.

Edit: I really want one of those green X1 hoodies, though. Albert, send me one? Pretty please?

Because you called it an xbone, which is the same as M$ from back in the day. It's not a term of endearment around these parts that's for sure.

I call it xbone all the time, and it is my first console of choice this gen (I preordered mine, but probably will only get it next week due some weird Brazilian retail logic XD)

I know it was meant to be a negative nickname, but I think it sounds really cool xd
 
Has anyone heard if they are getting Day One Editions in stock for tomorrow? I have a day one preordered and I remember there were rumors that a lot of stores weren't even getting them
 
Quick question - was it mentioned anywhere or is it true those who decides to import an Xbox One from the 21 launch countries and play/live outside of those launch countries, that their consoles would not allow activation of the games they play? Would this only be restricted to disc-based games or digital downloads as well?

Scenario: Xbox One console imported from the US, brought over to Malaysia. Physical games purchased are said to be region free, implying that they are playable, after activation, across the 21 launch countries. In this case, would the games remain un-activated, and therefore unplayable when the console is in Malaysia?

In short, IP lock. Any info is much appreciated, thank you.

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.

Ugh. That fucking sucks. I really like how the 360 just lets you pick a system language regardless of region and have the games played in that language. Fucking hate being forced into using a localized language. Yes, it's cool that they localize the OS and the games, but give me the option to switch it to English because there's no way on Earth I'm sitting through 3rd rate voice acting and poorly translated menus just because I'm not in an English speaking country. When Netflix launched in Mexico it was unusable for almost a year because of this same reason.

This is a dealbreaker if they don't change it soon.

You tried changing regions yet?
Click to expand...

You can do that but also means switching to the store of whatever region you change to, which means that the games you bought from your region might, or might not work, and stuff like Netflix won't work either unless you switch back to your own region since the apps are GeoFenced:

How do I set the locale on my Xbox One?

During the initial setup of your new Xbox console, you select a locale, which is the pairing of a supported language together with a country or region. You select the language is first, and then the list of countries and regions is provided, based on the language you selected, to make sure you select a supported pairing.

After setup, can I change the locale later?

After setup of your new Xbox One console, the only way to change locale is through Settings on the Home screen. A system restart will be required. For more information, see Xbox One system settings.

Is the Xbox One console locale different than the Xbox stores locale?

No. We’ve simplified the experience across both the console and the Xbox Live service. Xbox One will always use the locale on the console selected during setup for country/region and language. This information gets passed to the Xbox Live service to show the correct marketplace, offers, recommendations, etc.

For example, if you select fr-FR when you set up your console, this gets passed to Xbox Live, and you will see stores information in French. Your entire experience will be consistently shown in French.

Note Available content and apps may vary by country or region. Some content and apps may not be available or accessible in some countries or regions. If your console is set to a different local than you live in, you may be able to download and install an app from a different market. That app may be geo-fenced and therefor unable to play back content outside of the supported country or region.

So System Language is tied to region, unlike any consumer device released in the past 8 years. That's fucking stupid beyond belief.

Compare that to an iOS device, where I can have my region set to Mexico, system Language in Arabic and a French keyboard or whatever combination I want because it's my goddammned device. Now that's good design.

I suspect the reason they are doing this is because they want to tie system language to the language of the store of your region so it doesn't look all disjointed (which happens on 360) but who gives a shit about that, I just want to play my games in English.
 
Console paid for and I also grabbed about 6 games. Also have $ rdy for KI and Powerstar Golf.

Also nabbed a Zelda 3DS XL and mario world 3D. This weekend is going to be amazing!
 
Just wanted to stop in and wish all the gaffers well in tonight's launch! For the tech nerd in me, feel free to upload shots of your gaming set up.
 
could have sworn on the Gamespot stream they mentioned the Twitch announcement and made it sound like streaming would be available day 1. was surprised nobody tweeted them about that.

Push back until 2014. But there is a twitch app day one. Just cannot live stream.
 
Can someone gif that little clip of Quantum Break, it went by so fast I barely saw it.
 
Is there a difference between installed from disc and digital download games; in particular Ryse as I've seen different install sizes quoted for this? Maybe some compression in the dd?
 
I am in loveeeeeeeeeeee with the Xbox One. After queueing for almost an hour, and dropping my two friends off at home (your welcome guys) I got it set up and playing. Sure load times are a bit lame (especially boot up) but I've found the UI to be nice and snappy. I didn't think I'd be interested in Kinect but I am actually really impressed. I was looking for Killer Instinct and thought hey I'll just Bing it with Kinect, a second later I was there downloading it, rather than sifting through menu's.

The only real issue, which I already expected, is the rigid commands it needs. I sometimes say something that isn't recognised, it rarely ever mishears me though. 9 times out of 10 it has done what I say (when said correctly). But overall I'm liking the Kinect, I'm not as pissed because it was bundled in. But it needs the games that make good use of it to make it worthwhile.

I've only played CoD and Killer Instinct so far, but they seem fine. Nothing wrong to complain about graphically, I've not noticed the resolution to be poor or anything. The go to dash, then back into game instantly is nice, although I kinda miss the fact there is no menu pop up anymore. I suppose it isn't needed and I'll get used to it, but going to the dashboard instead of opening a menu to do simple things like messsage a friend feels weird atm.

The box itself is really sleek, not quite as big as I thought it would be and fits just fine where it is. Although the finish of it looks nice, I have a feeling the glossy bit is gonna show scratches and finger prints like hell. Oh, one last thing about Kinect, the viewing range is pretty damn good. I was really worried it wouldn't work for me because my room is cramped but, its not even on top of my TV (because it would fall off) it is sat on my desk which is about as high as waist, and I am sat on the end of my bed a metre away and it picks me up fine. I can't wait to give it a proper go tomorrow but I realllyyyyyyy need to go to sleep.

Edit: being able to say "Xbox, use a code" and show the QR code, is so much damn faster than typing in the damn 25 digit stuff. It is a godsend.

There shouldn't be a difference. The only thing is if you go digital you can switch games faster since you don't need the disc.
 
So I just bought a Wii U and came to Best Buy to pick up Mario. Well, I ended up on the Xbone line somehow. Just got a PS4 as well. Wallet is definitely hurting.
