Sony congratulated MS this morning on Twitter.

Just saw something hilarious pointed out, when using the bing search via Kinect there is no way to search for a term that includes the word 'Xbox' using Kinect as it assumes your using the voice command instead.
Sony congratulated back on Twitter this morning, I saw it around 8:30am est. I'm sure that was the last bit of nice from either of them though.

The ultimate test will be when my parents stay with me next, if this works well with them it may be the first remote they don't complain about being too complicated.

About to play cod ghosts?
Am I right in thinking parties have been messed up? Seems they're game specific so you can't do matchmaking in a different game whilst the party is set to another. E.g 3 friends were on cod, I tried to search for a Killer Instinct ranked match, it wanted to change the party game to KI so I said ok, then it said I couldn't search for a match because my party was too large and to leave the party to search. Is that a Killer Instinct specific issue or does it run deeper?
That is funny to me because for a system that is supposed to be not as focused on gaming, it sure as hell has more games I want to play. Make no mistake, I am still excited for the PS4, there are just no games or features that makes me want to get one for awhile. My hype for it just kind of fell flat, while the Xbox One kept winning me over even though I was set firmly against it. Strange how things turned out.

yea i just added a couple people to my favorites, no idea if it will work though
edit: nope, didn't work
There is no lobby in KI yet...
Got mine setup, really flawless setup so far. Loving voice controls & TV.
Questions:
1.) Can I control and view my DVR with the OneGuide?
2.) When I say 'Xbox Off' is that putting it in standby mode or all the way off? I'm assuming standby as I was able to say 'Xbox On' after and it came back on.
3.) In whatever mode that it goes into after I say 'Xbox Off', is it still installing games/updating stuff?
4.) Is there a way for me to say something that turns Xbox, TV, Receiver, and Cable box off? Then upon 'Xbox On' it all comes back up? I'm trying to eliminate the comcast or any remotes entirely.
5.) Where is system video player? For my networked/shared .avi files.

Ran out to Walmart and picked mine up during lunch. They hooked me up with a foam finger, and a day one shirt!!

Questions:
1. How do you go into standby mode as opposed to fully shutting down?
2. How do you take a screenshot?

Short summary of my first few hours with the X1:
- setup and day one update went very smooth. I expected XBL to be down during launch day.
- controller feels very good (loving those impulse triggers) although it's a little bit too small for my hands. The 360 controller feels more comfortable for me. (Maybe because I used it for years now)
- Kinect voice control works nearly flawless for me. Every time I turn on the console via voice I have that little grin on my face
- OS is very fast and switching/snapping of apps works without any stutter but there is still a lot of stuff missing and some things feel like a step back. (No list of games only, no data management, store feels dumbed down a bit, Download queue handling)
Games:
Forza 5 - looks and plays wonderful. Was my main reason to get the console. Head tracking feels natural after some fine tuning. Impulse triggers give valuable feedback and actually improve my driving.
Kinect Sports Rivals PreSeason - best looking game I've played today. Kinect steering works well enough for me but my arms did hurt after 3 sessions.
Dead Rising 3 - well... It's still downloading. I was able to play the first 20 minutes which were alright. Game is not the best looking but I'm looking forward to the open world.
Killer Instinct - very good tutorial. Not a huge fighting game fan but the few matches I've played were quite fun.
FIFA 14 - only played one match while still downloading (I love that feature). Looked good, played good. It's FIFA alright. (60FPS only during gameplay - close ups feel slower)

nice, time or order.
I know I should probably just contact them but any idea if they will automatically do this? Ordered 2 games the beginning of the week, shipped separately.

Glad to see that BF4 still crashes on XB1. First game that's crashed on me. Was playing 64 player conquest when I suddenly was booted to the dash and the game was closed.
I was thinking about getting Premium but no way I'm doing that until they improve the stability.

By the way, were "Premium Editions" of Battlefield 4 printed for Xbox One? Couldn't find any.
Is live slow for anyone else? The update (551megs) downloaded quite fast on my connection but everything else is ridiculously slow. Dead Rising 3 took ages to install (687 meg patch) and Killer Instinct has been downloading for at least 5 hours and at 71%.
Any settings I should be using for the network?
Any tips for improving install time from disc?

Yeah, they're currently comparing it to siri, no surprise which is winning, web search seems to be limited to a very small list of sites that are preprogramed.
Hm... Seems fine for me (Germany) - downloading DR3 (19 GB) since 4 hours and it's nearly done. (I have 16 MBit connection)
Was thinking about going all digital, but couldn't resist $49 games at WalMart. Ha
also in case anyone is wondering, my buddy resurrected his old account that has went back to silver, and he could play on Live and such on my system so the one gold account per system does work.

Just a question - do you guys know if codes are region free? I want to buy FIFA 14 from an european gaffer but my console is Brazilian.

Can anyone check if the fan on the power brick I'd spinning when off?
they should, but it doesnt hurt to contact them via chat. only takes 2 or 3 minutes to resolve successfully.
Mines been out for delivery since 5:00 am, its already 1 pm, the wait is killing me.
Just got my XB One and I have some weird ass high pitched noises during the update, theres no disk in the drive so I am guessing its the HDD??? System is silent at dashboard, but I can here the HDD from my couch as I am downloading KI.
