I'm not sure about US, but here in Norway it's very simple and easy to contact Microsoft for replacement discs, accessories or hardware if you need it.
And retailers always say that you should go to Microsoft directly since they are the only one who do certified service on Microsoft products.

If you're asking this then it's more than likely you should use 24bit. Really high-end stuff tends to be 30 and 36bit.

Just tried my MadCatz Sanrio stick and it didn't even light up. I have an Eightarc that I could try later, but it probably won't work.
It LOOKS great...but the game is VERY frustrating. They stripped out some basic things that I expected and the menu systems is just so horrible. The game is broken on many levels and has been annoying.
But it is pretty.
You should try reading the comment.
"o yea, this is an apple tv being piped through HDMI in.. =)"
Welp, they fucking flipped the switch.

Enjoying my Xbox One alot, been playing Forza 5 & Battlefield 4.
However there is a few bugs I'm experiencing.
I can't use voice commands at all now, though it did work just after midnight when I got it then just stopped.
I can't view my achievements, friends or console settings in the UI.
It's difficult to quit games back to the dash as the home button on the controller won't work.
It's strange as I could access these things just after midnight, the next day nothing. ....

What does the deep color bits settings do? Should I leave it on default? I have a Samsung D7000 tv but have no idea what to set it at.
Markman already said the only reason sticks worked on the demo units were because they were dev units that supported those things.
I thought it was pretty clear no xbox 360 accessories will be working on this thing. I'll have to mod my vshg or something.

Just as I expected, despite preordering in September, mine just went to shipping today, and the estimate arrival date is December 3rd...
I'm never preordering anything related to gaming on a retail store again. If I didn't paid already for the god damn console I could just walk up to a store and get it...

did you enable the quick resume (BETA) option?
Got everything hooked up and ready to go. First impressions are how slow it feels. Tried the TV features and running directv through the xbox takes forever to change channels. For being a main selling point for them I expected it to work a lot better. Its so bad the wife already said the xbox isn't staying in our living room. Bummed, know its only the first day, but that along with the extremely long d/l and loading times is a turn off, kinda regretting my purchase. Hope it gets better over the next few weeks. Otherwise I may just sell it off and wait a year or two.
Fucking UPS claimed that they attempted to deliver my Xbox already but I was here the whole fucking time. No knock on the door, no SMS text or anything. Dog didn't even bark all day. I was sitting here playing SSF4 when these fuckers said that they arrived almost an hour ago!
And WTF? They usually just knock on the door and leave whatever the fuck I ordered right there.
Fucking so mad right now. No I won't be OK!
Go pick it up at the distribution center

When the game is uninstalled is the game tile darkened or the same as if it was installed?
I hadn't tried. I skipped the TV setup because I don't have a cable box. I just plug the cable straight into my TV. I just set it up, and by golly it works! Thanks for the tip!
I popped in a Blu-ray for a little bit today to test out the function. It was very smooth and fast. I can't speak too much to the fidelity of the picture since I'm just using a cheap VIZIO, but it looked great to me. The controls overlay was on the bottom third of the screen and was much more attractive than the similar display on either the PS3 or PS4 (the two OSDs are extremely similar). I don't think I can help with any of your audio questions since I just use my TV speakers.
Nope. That did it. Worked like a charm. Wonder why that isn't by default. Between this and party chat there are a lot of features that average gamers won't realize are there.
Yeah, you kinda have to dig around for the surround beta as well.

I found it a bit slow at first, but in about 30 mins it seemed to understand me better and was a lot faster.
Mine is now set up for use! With one change... the remote will not do anything to the Xbox One in regards to its power state. It can control on menu level, for Blu-rays and the like.... but when it comes to turning on the activity, switching, or shutting down, the Harmony One will not do anything in terms of power. That's all still under voice control! I love my Harmony One remote!
I know you can't play mp3's atleast.

Same here. Not sure what the issues some of the reviewers were having when they were filming having issues with Kinect understanding, it has been pretty much flawless for me and my fiancée. Only issues are when we try to tell it something that it does not understand, once I say it properly it is flawless. While watching TV, it has some issues recognizing certain channel names, outside of that, for Xbox Menu's etc, Kinect has been very good...and it is just going to get better as they update it.
Catching up on the thread.
Ryse had a lock up where it was stuck, and would reload that point. I restarted the chapter and it has been fine since then.
Being able to transition between things is awesome. Paused Ryse, watched some Hulu and then went right back to the game.
Also, those impulse triggers are weird. I had to do a line in Ryse with firing Pila and the thing little buzzed and felt like it was going to jump out of my hand. So far the dpad is meh, and the rumble feels way different.
Dat 900p is impressive.

I have not tried, but when I looked through xbox video to see if you can stream from a PC (which it says you can in the description) I found absolutely no options for anything other than videos on xbox video service (I know you can use playto though)
in short, I doubt it

The sales thread is hilarious- its so easy to see through people's bullshit in that thread.
It's breaking people's hearts that the $100 more expensive and "underpowered" machine is off to a strong start.

Just literally bought Powerstar Golf (will play it tomorrow its 2.30am here now) but no issues for me.
The amount of salt is overwhelming.
It's funny since the same people probably would have said that it was "impossible" for the system to sell more than 1 Mil in all territories just a few days ago.
Just sad all around.

I made a thread for downloadable games for Xbox One (equivalent of XBLA threads), unfortunately with not many announcements I'm pretty much the only person posting in it
I'll put it in there though when I do.shungokusatsu

Um, is it just me or is the power brick making noise? Mine's louder than the console itself...
