Yeah, this thing sold my wife on the box too.
You can check back, there is a lot of statistics showing your progress. Comparisons with age group, your own prior best etc. included. You get there from the main screen.
Your X1 hates your iPhone
Seriously now: check your connection settings. In the middle of the screen, under the name for your network, is either "NAT: open" or "NAT: strict". If you read strict, you need to open the ports for the box on your router, this seems to help with performance.
If this doesn´t help, go to your router and change the frequency and/or channel it broadcasts its signal.
I can´t vouch for this, but its said there are some available in large cities. Your friend from Denmark should check Hamburg out.
Look above, what does your NAT say?
Yes it is, you just need an American address. Caboose made a thread with detailed instructions.
Yeah, I'm having this issue. Looks like it says my nat is strict even though nothing has given me issues, guess I have a fun time tomorrow trying to figure out routers which I always hate. But my DL speeds have been pretty terrible so I need to do something.

My brother has, it seems some Xbones are not responding to "Xbox ON", everything else works fine after it's on though. He has been trying viciously to get it to work, not sure the problem.
Last night he did redo his Kinect commands, I did talk to him today but forgot to ask if it worked?
Is this the same problem your having?
My brother texted me saying that mine is working perfect because Im closer to my TV, so in return I sent him 4 video's via Phone showing him me being almost 20 feet away at one point, and saying "Xbox ON", in a very low tone voice, with my Xbox turning on no problem from far away.
Reset your Kinect, and make sure when your going through the sequences, to have your TV as loud as your Kinect will allow.
.
I recalibrated the Kinect, unplugged and reconnected it to the console, and also did a hard reboot. It's working again now, not sure which one was the magic bullet though.
Thanks for the tip!
That's the solution!
I went AC4 after finishing Ryse. And let me tell you one thing: now the movement of the flags bothers me. Just can´t unsee the difference between the two.

Have they said when they might start cranking those out? Has anyone even asked?
I like the look of the new controller, would be a shame if I couldn't use it.
Not yet, they say spring 2014 - still working on the drivers, I guess.
I'm having trouble with SkyDrive. I have an account - the same one I use for Xbox Live - with 27 GB of storage, but when I downloaded SkyDrive to the Xbox One and fired it up it just shows the Picture/Video and Shared categories and nothing else. I put photos in both just to be sure, but it doesn't seem to pull anything down from the server. Am I not logged in properly on it or something? I didn't get prompted to log in at all, so I'm assuming it just uses the Live account.

Thanks.
Going to be a race which controller will fully arrive on the PC first, think I'll go with that.

Xbox ones should be driping back into stores starting this week all the way through December, but in very small amounts. PS4s a little later but in larger incriminates.
Yes, it does. Crank the volume up until Kinect complains. Set up like this it´ll hear you whisper, and people say even make it work better.
Yes. It makes a difference. It will be much better.
Just set up my Xbone tonight and everything seems to work fine except for a few things.
1) When I completely turn off my system by holding down the power button and then turn it back on, it is disconnected from my router and I have to set up the wireless connection again. However, if I leave the system on standby, it stays connected when I turn it back on.
Is this normal?
2) If my controller is still on and I completely shut off my system like I explaied in #1, the Xbox will turn itself back on again because the controller is still on. When I turn off the controller before completely shutting off my system, the system stays off.
Again, is this normal?
Or do I have defective unit here?
Thanks in advance for the replies.
It's been a long night.

I'll third this. When I first set it up it was late so I only turned up the volume as little as required. Voice recognition was decent, but not great. Then yesterday I redid the calibration with a higher volume and the difference is impressive.

Woah, how loud is too loud for kinect ? I did the calibration again after reading the previous messages (although the commands were working mostly fine), pushed the volume to something VERY loud, and kinect didn't really complain.
Anyway, it still should be more sensitive now, I suppose. I noticed that it caught my last command over some loud music, although I'm not sure the previous calibration would have missed it.
By the way, is it possible to control a bluray/DVD menu with voice commands ? I still need the controller to select a chapter or set up language and subtitles.

I prefer the new bumper buttons over the old ones by far.
I can now easily press them with the same finger that I rest on the triggers, without hardly having to move them at all. It's a lot quicker and more intuitive for me.
Surprised that so many people don't seem to like them.

Xbox One controller works over the USB cable now. No drivers yet.
Because that is not how many people hold the controller. I'm just not comfortable with idea that MS wants me to hold the controller a certain way.
Are you sure you set the correct standby mode in the power settings
Isn't every controller designed to be held in a certain way?
Not sure I understand that particular complaint.
I can see why people would prefer a different layout, of course (you freaks!).
My fingers naturally slide to the other end of the bumper, and with the hinge it only responds 50% of the time when I press there.
The problem for me is, why have such a long button at all if only half of it is responsive?
Is there no "Xbox One" to other languages than English?
I can't turn it on by any means
edit: http://support.xbox.com/pt-BR/xbox-one/kinect/turn-on-turn-off-with-voice-commands
it won't work if my voice commands aren't English, French or Deutsch

Just a bump. Anyone? I am also concerned I will buy something and some official headset will come out or something.
I don´t understand exactly? There was a headset in the box of my Day One?
I mean for game sound... So I do not need to blast through my speakers

I would wait on Ryse unless you just like that style of game and an absolute visual feast. Ryse is not a bad game though (play it on the hardest settings). My wife surprised me with a copy of it and I'm happy she did. I'm the kind of person that LOVES admiring all the details and artwork that goes into a game though. I literally will stand in a spot and look at everything in the game...lol.
I have two more gifs if anyone wants me to post them...trying to keep the bandwidth hit down.
For long lasting game-play (aka months to year(s)) go for BF4...if you want a quick, but entertaining, blast and insane graphics..go with Ryse.
Love those 2 chapters you posted the gifs from. So much atmosphere.
Ah, so you want to take the sound coming from your AV? I´d go with some nice surround ones, preferably wireless. Just take ones with normal cinch adapters, as the optical out from the X1 is not the best solution right now.
I just use my Astros. If you use the optical out it convert it down to stereo which sucks, but hopefully they can patch that out. It is nice to have when my daughter falls asleep beside me.
Also, I'm sure this is old, typing with SmartGlass is fantastic. I was so used to using the chat pad on the 360 and was bummed that there wasn't one the XB1. But the SmartGlass typing is a nice substitute.
Official headsets are coming from Turtle Beach and from Polk Audio, but not until February for some dumb reason.
Any suggestions? I can plug into my receiver, or however wireless phones will work.

Try giving the system a cold boot (not booting from standby), I had that same issue with KI until I restarted the system.
Its weird cause I just launched it from cold boot, should I not keep the discs in there? I always figured there was no problem since they were installed.
But I did just try to put 2k in and it loaded and let me start a game. I'm gonna turn it all the way off and try fifa again after work.

Kinect (Alfred voice): "Mr. Statham, you looked fucked up today, Sir."
Depends on your budget. Go to Amazon and search for "Turtle Beach Wireless".

I can't see why having a disc left in the system would cause any issues, or at least I hadn't heard of it doing so.

Hm sounds like it's trying to resume a suspended game and failing, perhaps? Load another game first then try fifa - or quit fifa from the home page (highlight Fifa in the main tile if it's there, and use the menu button to get to 'quit game').
So none of the ones that are out will work?
Maybe I should go with sound only, since the mic will not work?
Buy some good headphones if you already have an AV-receiver. Not these crappy gaming headsets.
And then just use Kinect as a mic to chat. It works quite well even if there is background noise now, but if you are using headphones, chances are your room is pretty quiet so Kinect is perfect.

Doesn't like how you've done your hair today.
But more seriously, when it asks you to sign in and offers you a profile choice, scroll down to (or say) "Kinect didn't recognise me" and it'll train up for better matching next time.

I love how the xbox recognizes my wife's voice "xbox on" but won't recognize mine. I have to turn it on with the controller. All other commands are fine. Very wierd.
