It means something. Mine turns dim when I'm not doing anything then it goes bright when I'm playing a game and snapping. Dunno.

I bought fifa using paypal, so maybe(?)
Buying games is working on Xbox 360. It's just whether or not it'll let me rent movies via PayPal. I rent a ton of movies, and since the removal of PayPal payments for Xbox Video I've turned to my PS3. My Xbox One is going to take up my PS3's spot in the entertainment center so I need to make sure it works.
I'm only asking because Xbox Video on Windows 8 has PayPal support so there's a chance the Xbox One does too. Anyone know?

I just tried it. When you're about to rent, you click on your payment option and it will bring up the option to pay with whatever you have on file. Including PayPal.

I was reading that when the batteries are low (in the controller) it shuts off the rumble to conserve battery life. Have you tried new batteries?

So are you guys going digital on the One? I would really like too but currently I don't think we'll see any incentives to besides that you can voice swap between games.
I wish you could opt in for the online check so you can take advantage of this. But the sales you can sometimes get with the physical copies is enough for me to not go digital.

I plan on going digital. Sort of annoyed, because I was strapped for cash after getting PS4 first. I had credit tied up at Gamestop so I ended up getting Ryse + Dead Rising 3 on disc. I want to get everything else digital after my next paycheck.

I will as soon as I get Google Plus in January. Gotta put that 2% back off XBox Live purchases to good use.
I'm going all digital. The convenience of not having to change discs or having to wait for the game to be delivered are too big to miss.

Not at all. I'm just using AA in mine, but I haven't had to swap them yet after about 25 hours of Forza
no, they're not even in the same ballpark
Good luck with that, they won't replace it unless you pay for shipping to send your controller back. I spend literally 4 hours with them on the phone and in chat logs. Honest to God.
I'm just going to return the console at this rate, screw having to deal with this piss poor consumer support. I'll purchase it again next year.
Just switched the batteries around and now the rumble motor works again, but it's not the same. It's louder and way more intense, much more so than it should be.
Might just end up dealing with it, we'll see. But if anything it got me this golden response from the MS support chat person.

Seems that perhaps the grinding disc drive may be user fixable

May be useful for some folks who are waiting on replacements.

take advantage of what?
Don't let that shit topic choose for you. Forza 5 is a great game and worth the $60.alot of content in it still.
This. Forza 5, despite the in-game economy, is a very solid game. The UI is a bit jumbled and nonsensical at times but the game itself, damn, nothing is quite like it.
Profound Sadness.
But if you "fix" it, MS might think you're just trying to get a free game and new console out of them
They seem really good. I've dumped a good amount of hours into Dead Rising and KI(probably 20+) on the stock batteries with the system. Of course, I can't check to see what the battery life is at right now though.
Buy a disc, install it, and never have to use a disc again.
They last a long time. Still using the 2 AA that came in the Box
just download it.
I'm 100% digital.
I buy maybe 4-5 games a year. Even if I pay 15-20 dollars "extra" on average that means It'll cost 60-100 a year. That will be worth not having to try and search down that AC4 disc in 6 years when I decide to play it again.
I will probably get some disc based throwaway games (wife is gone for the weekend.. buy some 10 dollar mediocre on clearance).

He explained why he didn't want to.
Finally got something to go to Skydrive!

I know it is not great, but I am more excited I got something to Skydrive.
Looks like you can't exit the screen while it works? Otherwise they get sent to Limbo?

A lot of other launch games have microtransactions, I'm never going to buy Forza credits with money and will just earn it by playing the game, doesn't bother me that it exists. Just enjoy the game and don't put any real money into microtransactions, like me.

What's the proper way to eject a disc. Is it just going to the home screen and then pressing eject on the system? Is there any voice command or button to make the disc eject
No voice command. I think you can eject at any time with the button.
Great plan. Don't forget the peg leg and the parrot.

So is auto live sign in a kinect only feature?
Can't seem to find it in the setting menu.
Its a bit annoying when you start up you have to sign in back again.

Yep.
Just played the Xbox One at my friend's place. The controller is amazing, I really love the feel and look of the whole product. Voice command was pretty fun to use, I can definitely see myself using the snap feature and all of the other functions with Kinect. Much better than I expected.
Loving my launch console. Started playing it Friday night, and I've gotten about 25 total hours with the games I have. I have NBA2k14, Dead Rising 3, Killer Instinct, Powerstar Golf, and I've played the Kinect Sports Rivals demo. Lots to love about the system to be sure. I posted an in-depth "review" on my Facebook page earlier, but the short version:
Voice commands are awesome, auto sign-in is awesome, recognition for multiple users in some games (Killer Instinct and Kinect Sports, that I've tried) gave us fits when we tried to get a second gamer tag setup in the local multi-player games. Powerstar Golf, however, allowed us to pull in other users via the controllers. But then again, that was designed for the 360 originally.
What I don't like is the new structure for Friends and Achievements. There is a disconnect in the new system. I now hate to check to see what achievement I earned was. It completely takes me out of the game in order to get a good description. And Friends is also a separate app. Activity Feed is ok, but it doesn't really replace the ease with which you could pop up the guide, and see how many friends you had on. Plus, unless I'm missing something, there doesn't appear to be a way to get notifications when a friend signs on. That's kind of disappointing.
Overall though, I think the system is off to a great start. Looking forward to continued play.

Thought so kinda stupid the more i look into the OS the more seems to be build around kinect only stuff hope they can patch it up.
Its kinda annoying tbh but it takes only like 10 sec but still annoying.
Same with upload studio with kinect connected it works without kinect its goes back to the dashboard without giving the option upload the clip.

Other than the 3 physical games I bought at launch I think I'll be going digital.
