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

How do you "close" out of apps/programs you were using?

Also, one complaint, typing with the on screen keyboard seems slow and laggy, that's it though, everything else is perfect.

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

I got a Day One at Best Buy without a preorder.

Still don't know what to do about the 5.1 audio via hemi. All of my other consoles have done just fine . Not so, here. I hope there is a fix for it or else MS is going to have some unhappy audio, geeks after them.

I worked on it so much I started an install and went to bed.
 
Setting up the system was so much fun, I had not been expecting it to be as fun as it was. Hope any hardware issues are scarce and fixed easily.

Plus Forza and Assassin's Creed IV in the mail tomorrow. Too bad I'm stuck waiting on my Xbox to arrive tomorrow as well.

So far, so good... Except my controller wasn't put together properly. One of the panels feels kind of loose and clicks in when I squeeze the controller :S It says the Day One thing on it though, so I'll just keep it unless it has functional issues.

Thank you. Did you happen to notice if they were only selling Day One editions?

I looked around behind checkout but didn't see any green boxes. There seemed to be a pile do Day One editions for preorders, with names on them, and a pile for non-preorders.

Party chat voice quality is sooooo good. Almost VOIP good. God damn. I installations take forever though. I only played a little Ryse and DR3. I HAVE to go to work in the morning.

It was fun being in a PS4 party chat while using Kibevt to navigate my Xbone, lol

Motherfuckin future.

Has somebody figured out how the region stuff works yet?

It's really easy to change region on settings, and when you do it changes the marketplace but whats the caveat of this?

I mean I can just buy marketplace gift cards on USA while I live in Europe and buy stuff from the USA marketplace cheaper, but im pretty sure there is some kind of system or something to prevent this.

1) You can only change region once every 3 months, according to Xbox.com website
2) IP restrictions may apply to some content.

Part of my games showed up first, still waiting for console.


*There's a mention in green saying the games are fully in French, wonder if I'll be able to play them in English...

Going to bed now. Dreaming of the UPS driver.



Those Walmart prices.

Jesus! And people told me there wouldn't be black friday deals on next gen, this is already pretty good! I paid 69euros for DR3 :/

I'm like a cat in a room full of women knitting. I keep flitting between Twitch channels watching XB1 games and also Mario 3d World. Jelly of everyone.

Well I wasn't going to get one but I was walking past a store and they had a big stack of day one consoles there and my whims got the better of me so I walked in and bought one. Ryse, Forza, Dead Rising 3 and of course FIFA 14. Shame the Kinect voice stuff doesn't work in NZ yet though.

My system came with 24 months of live.

I'm willing to let it go for a reasonable amount. PM me if interested.


Are you interested in a FIFA14 download code?

9am here - just woke up with an ugly cold and took the day off from work.

Yeah, sure. Mein Mitleid hält sich in Grenzen... ;P

Good news: Hermes driver is on his way to bring me my X1.
Bad news: I gotta work late into the night. :-/

Cant make the "xbox on" voice command to work.

I already enabled "xbox on" on the settings menu.

"Xbox turn off" works flawlessly.

Tips?

I have yet to repeat a command to kinect. It is working flawlessly. I wonder why reviewers were having such a hard time... I've spoken at least 100 acceptable commands to it without a hiccup.
 
Does anyone know how to do co-op in Dead Rising 3? Me and a friend have no idea how to join or invite each other. ^^^ Agree about that resolution. How on earth does a simple 2D fighting game run at 720p when it basically looks like Street Fighter. Dead Rising has an impressive amount of enemies but graphically looks pretty terrible. Really makes me worry about how powerful this console really is.

I'll be playing a lot this weekend between writing for NaNoWriMo.

The Xbox smartglass app is really nice. I thoroughly impressed with the work the Xbox team has done with it.

WTF?! So basically can't even try to change region settings to see if I can play my games in English. What's the reasoning behind this? Jesus...
 
Well bought Forza Motorsport 5 digitally, since I knew eventually I'd want to resell Ghost and Battlefield 4, but always want to keep Forza. :) $59 well spent, now I wait for it to download. Do games download while Xbox One is on standby/powered off?

So far I have to say I like the DS4 and PS4 UI better.

Controller is fine but those bumpers are really bad.

UI seems like a big Metro clusterfuck.
