Okay. I'm just going to keep telling myself that if worse comes to worse, I have a one year warranty. Here's hoping it works this time.

10 minutes at the very, very most. I'd suggest if it doesn't work, try without Kinect, and if that doesn't work, leave it overnight, see what happens and just go to bed, assuming you're in the US.

Sounds like a plan. Thanks for helping me out. I appreciate it.
 
Ok, console is all setup, update applied, dead rising installed and forza is doing that 6gb update. Only question I have is how do I put the console in sleep mode?
 
Up and running now and just about to start to play DR3. Just want to say that the console oozes quality. The controller, the console, the packed in headphones even. The only problem I had is that the HDMI cable I was using for my hookup wouldn't work. I had my old HDMI from my recently sold 360 still hanging from my tv so I didn't see the need to put in the packed in X1 HDMI. There is a need. My tv wouldn't recognize that there was a connection until I used the X1 HDMI. That's it. Everything else went smooth like butter.

Alright, it's Zombie murdering time. I gotta kill 5K in a week to get that achievement.
 
There are vents on top of the Kinect and mine's fairly warm at the moment. I wouldn't block it.
Thanks for the info. I definitely won't do that now. But now I have to think of another solution that doesn't involve me having to move each camera every time I want to play either console.

This would be a great opportunity for a third party accessory. A TV mount bracket that holds any combination of the Kinect, PS4 camera, and Wii U sensor. :p

I believe the default "off" is the low-power mode that will allow downloads.

You'd have to dig into the settings menu to change it to a complete power off.

I tried to install 2 games at a time,probably unwise as it is going really slow (KI and RYSE)

Interesting.

I'd guess it will download 2 or 3 things at the same time before it places the rest in a queue.

Is there an option to individual manage downloads, ie, if I have a second download running can I select that one and pause it so my first download gets all the bandwidth?

Ok as a stat geek I LOVE that it keeps track of how long you play each game. Just noticed this when clicking on an achievement a friend earned.

Very nice!!
 
Said this in the other thread, if you're in LA and want to buy an XBone come to the launch party at milk studios in Hollywood, no line, just buy your bone, party for a few and get it at midnight. It's nowhere near capacity here.

Remedy awaits.
 
Has anyone tried streaming Plex on Internet Explorer on their XB1? Plex is the one app I'm missing to make the console the only thing plugged into my tv.

For my first IE snap, what else but to search and look at big tits while installing Ryse. I would post a pic, but yeaaaah.

can you access network shared videofiles directly on the XB1 or does it only work when initiated on a windows device via PlayTo?
 
Just a heads up for those ho have their xbox ones already. Make sure to go through the video calibration xbox provided to get an optimal picture.

Does anyone know how to reset display settings?
On 360, you could press Y and RT when console is booting up to reset the settings.
It doesn't seem to work on Xbox One

Guys, where the hell do I find the download queue? I knew I shouldn't have redeemed shadow jago and that car before I got the system :p

Loving my Xbox One so far.

Got it home around 12:25am EST from my local Best Buy. Took all the damn stickers off of the Day One box that they slapped all over it for in-store pick up. Then proceeds to unwrap each item and inspect it with great care. System was then put into place in my entertainment center and hooked up. The Day One system update cruised through in about 8-12 minutes. Navigating around will take some time to get used to, as it did with Windows 8 on my PC as well as my Surface 2.

I picked up Battlefield 4, Call of Duty: Ghosts, Forza Motorsport 5 L.E., and Madden NFL 25. Feel free to follow me or send a friend request... Breadfan 3.

Try 'Xbox Download Queue'

Yes I'm totally guessing.

I definitely know there is one though after that review said there wasn't, some guy on here said you can change the order of your downloads.

There is none unfortunately. You also can't set a priority for installs. Still waiting for KI to install. :(

I hope that's true!
