I'm having a blast with the voice commands. FIFA is downloading. Does anyone know how to get music on this thing? I see the Music app but I don't know what that is. Can SkyDrive access music files stored on it?

Have not had a problem with Kinect AT ALL when it comes to voice recognition. X1 is the shit guys and yeah that smartglass app. Mmgoodness oh and one more thing. I DID NOT HAVE TO TALK LIKE A ROBOT EITHER hehe. I talk normally and Kinect does what it does.
 
Any other head tracking impressions? This post on /r/xboxone got me pretty excited...

After waiting a slightly stupid time for the BF4 to install I've just started to play the first mission. After a couple of minutes in I managed to drive a car where you can use head tracking and wow, just wow, works perfectly! I do a 40" screen so I can turn my head side to side while seeing my screen well which helps but it was really, really responsive and followed my head movements immediately.

Just thought I'd let everyone know that it's not a gimmick that barely works :)

Please don't hate me, but here are my initial feelings.

I'm not in love yet. I absolutely hate the ui. Hopefully once I start up dead rising today I'll be a bit more pleased. I'm starting to get the hang of it, but it doesn't feel as streamlined to me as a certain other console I bought last week.

The kinect is also awkward to place on my set up due to how huge it is. So it's just sitting all weird in the front middle.

I bought this system with an open mind and I want to give it a fair shot. I hope it'll grow on me.
 
fuck these are getting PS3 levels of slow downloading 0_O, cmon microsoft, it shouldn't be this slow.

hell its wii u status downloading speed now.

im pissed :/ this is just 3 gb of killer instinct. bleh



also, this isnt whisper quiet, maybe my system is messed up

It works for everything but the TV app, that's kind of broken atm.

Wait, what? Any other stores?

Not that I am aware of.

FNAC Brugge,Leuven and Wijnegem are confirmed, but again limited stock. I get this information from a Belgian forum where a guy who works at FNAC posted the information.

I have not checked this personally in store...

Cool, thanks. I'm checking the one in Leuven first thing tomorrow morning. Fnac is a French chain so they might have gotten some from rrom France presumably.

Wow nice impressions guys. Might need to grab an Xbone to go along with my PS4. Thought I could hold out till Titanfall but Its getting hard. Forza is calling me. Glad people are enjoying the system. Hope both consoles do well.

First love the UI and switching to TV etc. Wife will fall in love with it, however I'm having an issue with Time Warner Cable box. None of my HD channels are working, they all get a Time Warner error "Channel not available try again".

Anyone seen this or have a fix for it?
 
If you have an Xbox One and you haven't downloaded Killer Instinct, DOWNLOAD IT

were both people signed in before the game was launched? maybe restart the game, I'm just taking guesses as I only have one profile on my Xbox.
 
So, when hooking it up to your cable box, do pipe the cable feed through the HDMI that normally hooks up the box to the TV, or do you add another HDMI feed that goes through the Xbox? Guess I'm asking -- can you watch TV normally without turning the Xbox on?

Yeah. I closed and reopened the game and nothing. Ugh.
 
Man..... Forza with no assists and hardest drivatars is brutal....I chose the mazda fir my first car.......I cant.........I cant :'(

Btw im posting this from the XB1 browser.
 
I'm loving the voice commands so much.

Man, after all this Cboat bullshit got me scared and depressed, I'm loving my Xbox One!
Seriously, it's so fucking good!

Nice!

Mine's awaiting a pickup at the local UPS.

Damn afternoon meetings keeping me from an early Friday :/
 
There are a lot of streams on Twitch if watching will help you! Watching a bit myself.

Thanks. Unfortunately, twitch seems to hate my current laptop (or vice versa) and only works intermittently and even then it's a laggy mess. I should have had a new PC over a month ago, but that didn't work out as intended. Still waiting on a friend to finish building it. (family issues, so don't feel it's fair to push him to finish it)

I have a dumb question.

How do I quit a running app?

I start the NFL app and the first thing that happens is someone yelling at me. I don't want to hear it any more so I press B and I'm back at the home screen. He is still talking. Loudly.

How do I just make a running application go away?

You could call today to ask if they are willing to put one aside for you, just to make sure. Also note that there are no extra controllers that can be bought. I'm not sure about the games.
There are 2 bundles: 1 with FIFA and 1 with CoD.

Happy hunting!

On a sidenote: it sucks that I have to wait another week for the PS4...

Press the menu button on your dash where it shows the running app.

Enough Xbox One's in Paderborn,Germany
 
My impressions so far are negative. This is easily the junkiest console I have ever seen since sega Saturn and the controller doesn't feel good in my hands (it's the triggers that are an issue) The original xbox was far superior. Also unless your in a living room setting I wouldn't even use kinect since it's an extra thick cable that you have to run and he kinect sensor is pretty big itself.

How we went from 360 and 360s tot his is a real head scratcher. Hopefully I have fun with the games.
 
Anyone get Need for Speed? I got the PS4 version but thinking about trading for Xbone.

Also, if Iiked Project Gotham Racing 3 would I like Forza?
 
I really want to play some games, but I'll need to wait until both of my boys are in bed. Too much violence and gore in the games I've bought.

the whole package is sleek and fast.
