Xbox One Launch Thread [Thread being archived 1/1/14]

When you first put a game in it says it has to install, then it pops up and says it needs to update. Then the icon is installing. Does that include the update or is it just installing off the disc at first? Been waiting on Ghosts to install, it's been at 1% for about half an hour.

How big is the update again, 500MB? I've been stuck at the green loading screen for over ten minutes. I'm starting to get a little scared. Hold me Gaf...

504MB.
Console starts (takes under 2 minutes), asks your to turn on the controller, I think something else and tells you about the update; then it starts.

Think if you just goto my apps and games it tells you what it queued and what is downloading. If they are all queued you should be ok.

First it will download the update, install the update, and then, install the disc.

Yes, they announced that they are showing something big in relation to Titanfall at VGX. They also showed a brief bit of new footage from Quantum Break.
Getting sick of these spike tv/VGX teases. Jeff announced that there will be an exclusive announcement for a new game. Did it for both PS4 and Xbone. In the end, both disappointing. Ps4 got Uncharted announced but that could have been seen a mile away.

I literally turned it on with my controller and then nothing. Still stuck at green loading screen. No messages, no nothing.

try the start(menu) button?
Nope. First thing I tried.

Yep, that did it; thanks. :)
"Installing" Forza 5 and the update, Killer Instinct stuff is on queue.


EDIT:
Going to bed now, leaving it all day. Going to work, pickup Super Mario 3D World and Tearaway..and hopefully, because of my slow-ass connection everything will be downloaded and set when I arrive by 6PM.

I wish I could find the magical answer the lingering question: DR3 or NBA 2K14. I've been debating it for a week or so and I was hoping I'd have a decision. Well I don't. And I get my system tomorrow.

UGH.

The controller trifecta, nice!

Nba will drop in price much much faster than dr3

Leaning that way anyways. I feel like DR3 is that really cool game that is kind of jacked in a few launch game ways but mostly it's really fun.

Edit: Also, jealous of of the people owning all three consoles. I'll get a PS4 eventually, but it'll have to wait until next year.

Guys help I don't know what to play first!

Also I need a kinect stand shiiiiiiiiit.

This was way more fun than the ps4 launch, microsoft reps giving out free stuff :D.

Guys, where do I put the kinect? I've never used one before. Seems too heavy to be on my tv

What sort of setup do you have? Ideally waist high is the consensus, but between 0.6m and 1.8m is optimal. If you have an entertainment unit, stick it there if it's high enough

still stuck at the green loading screen. almost 30 minutes now.

You said earlier you had pulled the power cable out while doing the firmware update the first time (if i read that right)? If so you may have caused some issues... the PS4 has a safe mode you can boot into. I'm wondering if the XboxOne has something similar?

Omg, I go to pay at best buy, swipe my debit card, enter pin, confirm payment, and it cancels the transaction. No decline, just cancels. I have more than enough money in my account. I do it a second time and it does the same thing. Guy asks of I have another form of payment, which I dont , and I damn near freaked out. I tell him to run it credit and it goes through no problem. Christ, crisis averted.

Man I hope not. Just my luck too.

I just sat with my neighbor while he set up his new One. That controller is fucking godly. The 360 king is dead, long live the new Xbox One controller King. Looking forward to trying out his system more tomorrow when he's got it fully set up.
 
Happy Xbox One day! I'm just up and waiting for my X1 and my copy of Dead Rising 3... I really hope they come early.

Enjoy yourself whomever has theirs. Have a blast!
