Blu-ray player sucks in Xbox One.

What I posted in the other thread:
Xbox One does not do Bitstreaming so you cannot get the actual audio codec on the receiver (just the lame PCM being forced for everything). Plus, the Xbox One has stutter at the beginning of playing a movie and at the beginning of skipping to the next chapter that sometimes cleans up and sometimes continues to stutter throughout.

I left the movie I have running and the stutter seems to clean up eventually, but if you hit next chapter it definitely stutters. What the hell.

What the fuck. XB1 was going to be my Blu-ray player, come on MS.

did you try it with different movies or just one?

I just checked eBay and Day Ones are going for £600/$950 and the sellers have dozens of them.

Those naughty profits.

Most of them are going for a little over 600 dollars on ebay. I honestly haven't seen any that are actually selling for more than $750 (except for the white ones).

$100 dollars profit when you have to account for tax and any ebay fees that you might have is not a very good profit.

Similarly, seems like PS4s are only going for around $100 dollars over retail price. This is definitely not 2005. The economy in the United States is a bit different now. However, we'll probably have to wait black friday to see if the prices jump.

I have got to say I am so happy and impressed by the Xbox one.

I feel like a total noob at the features tho, we need a UI/features tip thread.

Wow the controller feels so light. Now I see about the bumpers, but I don't think it will effect me. I normally rest on the triggers and just hit the bumper between my digits.

I sold mine for $780 yesterday, plus $40 for shipping. I'll end up making about $250, I think. Not great, but not awful. I'd really like to keep it, but I can use the money.

I'm not sure how you got that impression from this article... all he says is he prefers the DoF when you leave the garage on the PS4 to the xb1 technique and the hills in the background are more detailed on ps4. on the other hand he prefers the ambient occlusion technique used on xb1

they're pretty much identical

Here was an update as well: Appears Playstation 4 Version is using HBAO, Xbox One is not at this time.


Eurogamer Update said:
Update: Wow, that was quick. We've just had feedback to this article from Ghost Games' Andreas Brinck, rendering lead on Need for Speed: Rivals - "I wanted to thank you for the excellent technical analysis of our game, but also ask for a small correction. The article states that the PS4 version of the game is missing ambient occlusion, but the fact is that the PS4 version actually is using it in the form of HBAO. Here are two screenshots from the PS4 demonstrating the difference between having it enabled (this is what's shipped and looking at the screenshots from the article it seems like this was in the build you played as well) and disabled. The effect is most visible on the exhaust pipes and the background, but can be seen on the armco as well."

Our mistake and we're happy to make the correction. Brinck has also clarified the Xbox One ambient occlusion and frame-pacing points. The latter issue in particular is our major concern with the game as it stands and we're happy that Ghost Games looks set to correct it in an upcoming update:

"The Xbox One version of is using the frostbite version of SSAO," he tells us. "The explanation for the frame-pacing is a bug in our settings, Even though the gameplay code is configured to run the game at 30Hz, the present interval of the renderer is incorrectly set to 1, which means that the renderer can present a frame at any multiple of 1/60 seconds. This will be fixed in an upcoming patch."

How do I make sure it's recording the last five mins recorded at all times?
Click to expand...

My understanding is that it's always recording. But to access the last 5 minutes you need to go to the Game DVR. "Xbox record that" is only for the last 30 seconds.

And as I was writing this post, the doorbell rang. It's here!

Just a question, that hopefully someone can answer:

I don't have a cable box. I have an HTPC with Windows Media Center. I am able to watch TV by plugging in the HDMI cable for my HTPC into Xbox One and launching Windows Media Center. However, I cannot get the One Guide to change channels or use Kinect to control TV functions (pause, rewind, fast forward, etc.).

I've connected an IR blaster cable from my Xbox One to a USB-UIRT device on my PC. I can add cable box codes manually in the Xbox One settings. Is there a code that I can enter to get Kinect to function with Windows Media Center?

I'm from the UK we don't have the fancy TV option, but to get your devises talking to go settings > TV & devices, just command Xbox to automatically setup your TV, and enter your amp/surround sound manufacturer and model, it fetches drivers and then asks if you want to have Xbox control everything on startup and shutdown.

I'm now saying "Xbox on" just before I enter my room and everything boots up nicely.

Has anyone run a speaker test through HDMI-in with the surround sound beta turned on? Does each channel work properly or is it outputting all channel stereo?

My copy of Dead Rising 3 Day One edition came in. I have to wait for Fed Ex to come with Xbox One. They take forever to deliver to me.

Yeah, but what I meant is, do you go:
X1 -> HDMI -> Amp -> HDMI -> TV
or
X1 -> HDMI -> TV and X1 -> optical -> Amp

Pleasently surprised that Microsoft's first party stuff is priced at parity with retails £44.99. Means with cheap download codes it comes to less than £40. Third parties can go fuck themselves though, £55 is bat shit insane.
