I wish there was a voice tutorial. Like, sometime I get some commands to come up in apps, but they disappear because I don't choose fast enough and I can't figure out how to get those back.

very well. only word it hangs up on is achievements, and maybe it's just the way I say it.

I've tried multiple cables and ports, nothing works.
There is.
Try the Speech Tutorial app...
xbox one dashboard -
You may only use it once, but if you'd like a quick introduction to the range of voice commands available via Kinect, the Speech Tutorial download is a good place to start. Available from the App Store, Speech Tutorial is free and won't take up too much space on your hard drive, but it can provide some helpful tips on navigating the Xbox One interface with your voice.
Mine makes a slight sound if I get closer to it. Are you saying that Microsoft says it should be dead silent? Is it like that for everyone else?
Ugh, that sucks.

I was pleasantly surprised by this. The voice commands are very responsive.
Dude, your PS4 is a bit close to the wood on the right side. There are intake-vents inside this rim on the side. I guess It would be a little nicer for your PS4 if you leave a bigger gap to the right.

The first time I used the Xbone controller, I had the same issue. I really did not like the bumpers.
But now I am adjusting to how the controller is designed to push the bumpers, and it feels great.
I'm guessing you usually take your finger off the trigger to press the bumper?
Try keeping your finger on the trigger, and just rolling it to press the bumper.
Here is a video I found that clearly shows the method I'm trying to describe:

Pretty good launch day for me. Had a lot of fun with KI and Dead Rising (what very little I played), and Battlefield is Battlefield. I will say this though, BF4 in multi looks kind of shit.
I might have to scoop up NBA2K14 because I need a game that screams next gen and I don't feel like I have it with my current crop of games (though BF4 single player is pretty nice). If only Ryse had scored better, I suppose.

Anyone know how to double check downloaded content on the Xbox one? I wanted to make sure my preorder codes for AC4 were downloaded to the console before playing.

100% of the time. Very surprised by this.
Did you make that wood panel sticker?
So just an update... Still can't get past the damn screen with the controller on it during initial setup. Tried everything I can think of doing to fix this, still no dice. Been waiting to talk to MS support for like an hour now... the average wait time just keeps going up. Fucking lame. :/ And it appears like I'm the ONLY person in the effing world with this issue, if Google is any indication. >_>
For reference, here is my original post:
I am so bummed out.

Thats a reflection
So I just finished with messing around on my XBone and all I can say is that Kinect works flawless for me so far. Every voice command was recognized without an issue. I spoke very soft because it's late and it still worked. I don't see what the hell was the problem with the guys at IGN but my shit works like a charm.
Anyway, downloading KI. Time to fuck shit up for a bit before sleep.

Awesome, thanks. Will have to check that out.
The one thing I have noticed it has difficulty doing for me is switching between profiles via voice. So when my son says 'Xbox show my stuff' and it is on my screen, it doesn't actually switch to his. Same with me when his is up.

Can't seem to log in to my Origin account on Battlefield 4. It keeps asking me to make an Origin ID, but I already have one.
Had the same problem, I just ended making a new one.
Listen to Dopey Fish. HDMI cables aren't very robust and cheaply made ones sometimes don't meet HDMI's tight signaling requirements. A sufficient kink or crimp can render them useless.

how strange, did the main update fast and perfectly no problems, played some games. Woke up today and decided to play a BD film, downloaded the tiny 30mb update it needed, it restarted and went to the xbox one green screen and its just stuck there.

Did you connect the controller coa micro USB? I HAD to do that in order to get past it
I had this issue too. I restarted the Xbox and that worked for me on the first try :/
Does anyone else's Xbox have that really strong new product smell? My entire room smells like it now, I love it, nothing too strong but it's definitely there. I haven't had this positive of a day one experience with any system I've ever purchased. I love this thing, KI and Forza are amazing and knowing that I can get DR3 or BF4 if I want is great. Also Titanfall is right around the corner.
Thank you both for the information. I needed that next gen Ghost Dad experience.

I've been playing around with mine all night long and this is my review so far.
Set up with quick and easy. I didn't have to do any restarting like I've seen some people online say and I was done and downloading my Xbox Live profile in under 20 minutes.
The first game I played was Ryse. Holy shit I love this game. It's beautiful and I find the combat addicting. I have the difficulty on Centurion (2nd hardest) and when you get into the flow of combat, Marius moves seamlessly and it's very pleasing to build up combos, by blocking and attacking dozens of barbarians. If you're worrying about Xbox One games being at 900p in the future, the only thing I thought of while playing was how amazing it looked. I give the game a 8/10. Love it.
The one thing I don't like so far is the time to completely install a game. If you have a lot of downloads/installs queued behind a disk installation, it's going to be a wait. It's not too bad since you can start playing in under 5 minutes.
The second game I played was Forza 5. Like Ryse it's VERY good looking. A problem I've had with past racing games (including all previous Forzas) is the lacking the feeling of speed. When you're in a McLaren going almost 200 mph with other racers, it's make you nervous, just like real racing should be.
I also played around with the TV and UI stuff the most. The rumor going on before launch that snap was broken is complete and utter bullshit. I love snapping TV while on IE, playing a game or just messing around in a few other apps and switching between them is extremely quick and easy. I'm so glad I can use the OneGuide and give a big fucking middle finger to the Time Warner cable box guide piece of slow shit. The OneGuide is quick and well laid out.
With voice commands, I'm having around an 80% success rate. When saying commands like "Xbox, go home" or "Xbox, snap" it's almost 100%. The only times I had problems was in the OneGuide. I'd say "Xbox, watch ABC" and it go to NBC. Nothing TOO egregious and I expect them to fine tune it in the future.
Onto the controller. I was extremely nervous about this one since I heard people talking about looser sticks, problems with the bumpers and worse ergonomics. After using it, I think it's perfect. To everyone worrying about loose sticks, fear not. The sticks are almost the same as the 360's. It's definitely no wear near DS3 levels like I was worrying about. The d-pad is fantastic. When you use it, it clicks and is very satisfying. Over all, I think made the 360 controller even better, which is shocking to me because I thought that the 360's controller was the best ever. Not anymore.
I didn't get a chance to play around with the Kinect's motion controls or Kinect Sports. I did set up my wife's XBL profile with mine and auto recognition and sign-in works as advertised. When she would walk into the living room the Kinect would recognize her and sign her in along side my profile. After I played Ryse for a bit she wanted to start a game and when I handed her the controller the game went over to her profile right away. Very cool stuff.
Right now I'm downloading Killer Instinct and Xbox Fitness so I'll definitely post my thoughts on those games as well as other stuff I didn't get to tonight. But if any people are out there on the fence about Xbox One. No worries, it's an amazing system!

Ditto. It's pretty neat. Haven't tried anything fancy yet like browsing. Also worth noting, navigating with the controller is very intuitive. I really like how you can easily jump from a game to the user menu and other apps.

I havent even done the calibration and yet it works almost every single time. Problem for me is I have 2 XB1's side by side in the living room and they both respond to any command my wife or I give. I wish there was a way to get the kinects to only respond to a specific voice. Outside of that the consoles are pretty much perfect imo.
Can't seem to log in to my Origin account on Battlefield 4. It keeps asking me to make an Origin ID, but I already have one.
My friend was talking about the same problem. Apparently doing it through the website works.

It wasn't the cable. I had to unplug the Xbox One which I guess resulted in a full shut down before I could get it to come back up again. Hope it's a bug and not my console.

We were discussing that possibility of that today. Much like in the case that you're using the mic to play co-op with your friend(s) and say a command which might be carried on by their Xbone's. Maybe it could be a future update/feature?

I hope they do update it at somepoint. I am worried it might be to niche of a case for them to worry about though.

I really hate the auto play that's in Netflix. I have no option to select an certain episode or to start from the beginning of an episode.
Edit: is there a way to force close an app?

If my console is not in the power save state and is actually off, how the hell do I turn it on?
I've pressed the logo on the front and it does nothing but turn on for one second then off.
Pressing the controller home button does nothing.

Kinect is not plugged in. Tried with it plugged in and nothing.
Hitting the home button on the controller should turn the system on. If it's not working for you, I guess try rebooting the system (i.e. unplug it).
Go To "My Games and Apps" it will show everything on your HDD, downloading, installing, already installed, etc and the percentages.

Why does the power brick make an annoying humming sound even though the xbox is shut down? It sounds like a PC that is sitting idle
