Just say "Xbox" and all of the commands are shown. When text is green, that means its a command.

Two questions:
Where is Xbox Fitness?
When you turn the system off, are you turning it off or putting it into sleep/standby?

The early ones did "while stocks last" was the wording (for Australia) but the later ones may not. In short - black ones guaranteed to have them, green ones may have them.

Soo. First impressions. Kinect 2.0 can't hear me for shit over my TV volume.
HBO not showing under my Comcast listings.
And just started campaign in Ryse. Black screen with music for at least 4 minutes and counting.. Fully installed before starting disc.
Snapping to TV in the meantime.
NOW I see where snap TV is useful! Hanging load screens.

Took me less than two hours to download Need for Speed Rivals and NBA 2K14. Wasn't expecting things to be this fast.
The voice controls are working perfect for me so far. I'm in a pretty small room though. Told kinect to turn the volume down on my receiver as I was watching the intro to NFS Rivals. So cool.

That was truly an awesome montage.
In the store. It's free. It's pretty small, so I assume it streams video or downloads the ones you want.

Kinect is working fucking flawlessly for me, all mistakes so far have been me not knowing what to say.
Nope, friends are on with no problems and no one is really reporting any problems in here
snap everything to browsing with neogaf, so that you can achieve the next step in neogaf evolution
A double install? So like MGS4? Or you have to install the game and then download an update? Come on people, use your words and describe the situation in a way that people can understand.
Just put in the smallest amount of effort into describing the situation and explain it to those of us who have not tried it out yet. Not that I am going to try out Ryse because I have been turned off of it, but I am still interested in the whole process of playing games on the system and what you have to go through.

So, I jumped in! No problems so far, but my room mate is asleep so I can't use the Kinect yet.
What do you guys think?

If any of you get defective consoles.
PLEASE do not do something to void your warranty.
Please just contact Microsoft or the store you bought it at.

WalMart is taking forever. They have only rung up one person so far. Fuck.

Try a loud whisper. That usually worked for me on Kinect 1.
I've had mine for about 7 hours now, installed a bunch of stuff, fooled around with a lot of settings. I'm loving it, everything works as advertised (voice commands seemed spotty at first but there's a learning curve. It's very good now. Game installs can take quite awhile, especially when paired with meaty first day updates, but you can generally start playing reasonably quickly.
For other Aussies, the 'Xbox On' command doesn't work but all the other voice stuff is fine. The One guide isn't supported yet but I've been able to plug Foxtel into the HDMI in and it works really well. Here's to snapping the cricket while I'm installing and playing games.
I've been watching a lot of Youtube stuff and direct feed videos in preparation for this launch and the aliasing was bugging me, I have to say it's much, much less of an issue playing this stuff at home on a 50" Panasonic plasma. Internet videos, even the good ones it seems, just don't represent games well.

I think glass shelves are a terrible idea for electronics. Nowhere to hide the wires.

True, but it's an inherited TV stand. 'Twas free! I'm still working on a cable management solution.

Jelly? Wat?
Something something lessons must be learned something.
The only reason you aren't playing Forza 5 right now is because you are on some crusade to "punish" Microsoft the way you "punished" Sony last gen.
In the end, you're just punishing yourself.

The controller feels fucking amazing. Money well spent in developing it I guess.
Did I fuck up by refunding all my physical games to go digital right now?
Also, can I upgrade my internal hard drive with any laptop drive like with PS4?

LOl at that Dan Livingstone first guy in the world to have an xbox one! We had them 3 days before he had! How can they even run that sorry you can check the times via our profiles and it would prove it all wrong!
Hope you guys are enjoying. Whatever you do, say xbox help and look thru the new features instantly. Really helpful.

Really enjoying Killer Instinct, but it really is the land of 1000 Jagos online.
If I have one complaint it's the loading times which seem very long at times.

Hahha exactly. Can't ride both sides of that fence mate. "oh but look at my post history, I want forza!" bs. So many anti ms posts then this made up shit to sound impartial.

Hahha! I was third in UAE tho bro, maybe first on this forum. What about that other chap who was tweeting. He had it ages ago.First thing I said on Neogaf thread for that story was "Except for Phat"
No, they are adding external HDD support
It's almost like press repeat whatever crap Microsoft and developers tell them regardless of facts or research.

Welcome beautful toddler, Madison Elizabeth, to the horde!
No hyperbole but everything just feels right. Going through the installs of all my games now. I've played with the system, downloaded stuff from the Store.

Hey guys,
Quick question: Are all Xbox Ones that are sold on launch day at major stores, the Day One Edition, or will they sell the regular edition of the console today as well? Was the Day One edition for preorders only? Thanks

Most retailers sold out the Day One edition on preorders.

I got day one with forza without pre order. Makes no difference really beyond the controller and that silly achievement.
