Ryse is way more fun than it has any right to be. That and Mario have made my weekend.
I haven't played Ryse...skipping X1 for now, Microsoft has broken my streak of getting every console at launch for the at least the last four generations. (Thanks Don!)
(I own a Jaguar and an N-gage - that's how bad they done fucked up)
But Mario is so glorious it's scary.
Got dead rising 3 and ryse from them yesterday, but of course I had those two open slots ready to go since the beginning of the week.

the controller has some kind of low power mode that I think helps.

It's ridiculous, I am using the same set of eneloops for almost 3 days now - playing lot's of KI, DR3 and some Forza. No idea how the real state is since the indicator is missing (cmon MS) - but I am impressed with how long it lasts.

I am sure those will come. no reason not to. they exist on all other MS platforms.

I can already see a trend forming. Bought Ryse because it's so easy to do so digitally.
Huh? Eneloops on the 360 controller last almost a full week. Why would this be different on the One?

Since USB doesn't work had to watch some stuff on the 360.
Couple of things:
Weeeeeeird using that dashboard again.
The Xbox One power supply is louder than the 360.
After we were finished watching I turned off the console and the sound level never changed. Yes, the instant-on power supply has the fan running during standby that is louder than an Xbox 360 running. How is that possible?
Also, I disabled Kinect sign-in because I don't want to walk into the room and have fiancee playing Just Dance and have that added to my GT. I know it is silly, but I just don't want it on there.

So dangerous!!
That shit is scary right?
"I want a new game (checks store) fuuuuuuu there's game x and I won't have to wait on amazon or drive to a store and I can just say Xbox Go To game x and it starts..."
You have a faulty PSU. I talked to MS support because mine is the same and they said that it is not normal, you shouldn't hear the fan at all.
Get it exchanged.
The X1 power supply is fukin loud, no wonder they didn't go for an internal power supply.
My triggers make a lot of noise when i trow Pila in Ryse, it sounds like a driller and it is really strange at touch, is this normal?
Also first post, hi everyone
Same for me, I thought the trigger was going to explode with vibration when I was throwing the Pila in formation.
Aww. And It was funny because fiancee walked into the living room today and was like, "I can hear something running. Do you hear a small fan or noise?"
It is am Amazon Day One edition. At this point I don't mind if they replace it with a none Day One. But I don't want to wait for an exchange. And I am not sure how further warranty would be handled by credit cad if another unit is bad. I guess I could buy another console, and then return the Day One.
The kinect sees when you put the controller down. It activates the controller's low power mode a few minutes after you put it down.
I would call up support. I have yet to hear my power brick.

Loving Ryse so far. Can't wait to get to the
that everyone keeps talking about.

I guess I can't really compare since I did not have such long gaming sessions since forever on the 360. Then I hope it lasts that long too!

Same.
Yep. I know it will be the same for me in the future.
I heard the power brick has a fan inside? I only notice the noise when my console is off.

This *really* got under my skin. So much doom and gloom based on an "in progress" set of software. It's no wonder companies try so hard to NOT show pre-release stuff to people not under NDA since there is no context there. Beta testers know that things are likely to improve in the final version.
It's even worse when the leaker goes out of his/her way to raise concern for these things that aren't working as if to be some kind of warning? I don't care if something didn't work 2 months ago. If it works when I buy it, I'm happy. Did he think he was doing us a favor? Seriously. What's the point of "hey this doesn't work.. you'll see how broken it is when it's done.. just you watch.."? The only possible explanation would be an ultimate: "I told you so!" I don't see it serving any other purpose.
My Xbox one and power supply are super quiet.
It has a fan but you shouldn't be able to hear it. If you can clearly hear it, it is busted and you should call support to get it replaced.

that's really cool. but it's not evident, because the light on the controller stays on, right? is there another mode when the whole thing shuts off completely (when the light finally goes out)?
I would call and get it replaced. It should be silent. If I put my ear next to mine while the system is on, I can hardly hear it. Same for the system itself. This is one of the quietest pieces of tech I have ever owned. One of my favorite things about the system.
Edit: I have it set to instant on.

I don't get it. How can the difference of opinion be so different between the general gamer and the reviewers? I'm still on the fence here.. Do people really think this is worth picking up?

Instant.
Dude MS support said that you shouldn't be able to hear the fan of the PSU at all. How much more info do you need? Get it replaced.
Then do that once they have the system in stock?
I have the day one edition, I highly doubt they would have that in stock anytime soon. Is MS tech support still open?
Go to http://support.xbox.com/ and go through the Xbox One section and have them call you that way your not hanging on the line.
I will get to it this week then. Not a major hurry.
And I would take a Day One or not. The controller looks great either way and I already got that achievo. Plus, a puke green box will sit on the closet anyways.
Is shipping free on console replacements? In the past and above from another user, they ask you to pay shipping for things like controllers.

Same for me. My system and brick are silent. Have not heard it at all since getting it home Friday morning.
I told them that I will keep my Day One controller and they can fuck off if they think I'm sending that back.
I'm just gonna put the controller from the replacement system in the box that I will ship back to them.
They didn't really think this trough at MS when doing the Day One branding stuff.

I just noticed that the controller has an IR transmitter in it, it's like the DS4 lightbar but only visible to Kinect. Very cool.

The other benefit, it does not suck the life out of the battery. The one thing I dislike of the DS4, battery life is really bad.
Ok so I turned on my Xbox one, and the fan is loud on it as well... Definitely not quiet. I then went to my power brick and that fan is loud too.

Anyone have trouble with the controller range? I can't walk 10 ft away from my box without the controller having issues staying connected. Box is in the same place as my 360 and it stretched through the entire house... I already swapped my controller for a different one and it didn't solve the issue, so most likely the device in the console that connects with the controllers.
Yeah the range is a lot smaller than the 360.
But that is because the wireless transmission is at a higher rate compared to the 360 and it instantly disconnects the controller once it can not keep pushing that bitrate.
Finally got to start playing with the xbox one and I tried to install call of duty and at 50% it told me I can start playing but then I got an update and then the install for the game stopped working and now I can't play either the game or install the game either.
So can anyone help me out please?

yeah, it's a smart touch. Dead Rising 3 has it so you push the controller to get zombies off as the kinect tracks the controller instead of it being an actual controller gyro. Works really well, when the kinect can't see the controller it becomes the normal button presses to get them off.
