When it works I agree. However, I feel as though my Kinect is getting dumber by the day. I find myself repeating commands more now, then on the first day I got it.

I have never once had to repeat myself when recording something with game dvr
edit: I think most peoples problem with the commands is that they dont say them correctly. When saying things you have to go "xbox" pause for a second then say the command. Ive never had a problem.

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
My girlfriend has played it more than I have but she really likes it. She played the original on PC and is disappointed about a couple of things however. You can't do stuff like putting antelopes in with the lions (yes, she's sadistic like that) and a the max zoo size seems rather smaller than it should be.
Having said that the graphics are really nice, the animals are extremely well done and you find yourself watching them do stuff as you would real animals. It's nice to be able to walk around your zoo in 3rd person and take pictures and have buggy races in co-op.
She's hoping they have some expansions planned.
Also I've found it helps to fully shut down the system if you notice some Kinect issues. Mine refused to recognize the word Yes after I said Xbox turn off, it just would not do anything. So I manually selected yes and then unplugged the power supply and restarted and all was fine.
Yup, I've had this exact problem. Would recognize everything except 'Yes'

I have not had a problem with it; try to reset your kinect from the settings menu. it might help. If you do, this time, set your speakers volume to a mid range and not too loud, you may be picking up too much noise. Hope it helps.

Thanks for the tips, i'm going to adjust i guess...
I understand why Microsoft did what they did with the bumpers, it just needs more getting used to but worth it in the end. With the way they designed the bumpers and triggers, reaction time is fast for twitchy shooter games like COD or other fast shooters. But for a game like Killer Instinct, it's harder to pull moves that require using the bumpers.
As for the speed, i agree, i have a very fast connection and i think this is the first time that i see downloads going that fast. It was like blazing fast, i couldn't believe my game already downloded... I like that a lot !

Picked up DR3 and Zoo Tycoon through MS Expertzone for $17 each...the price was just the motivation I needed to finally get them

So just returned home from traveling and have a second controller waiting.
I noticed the new controller has great bumpers which move down and click compared to my Day One edition controller which don't even click and feel stiff but they do work.
Now I imagine Microsoft will sort this out but I expect they will replace with a standard edition controller.
Anyone had the same problem?

The only thing I've noticed is a notification.
Notification in the top left corner.
Is this working every time for you? It's broken for me ONLY in BF4 multi. I can record the menu and single player every time, but in multi I'll get a clip that's only 1 second long. Very annoying. Seems hit or miss - some people have no issue while others consistently just get a second. Every once in a while it will actually work. So many cool moments lost

Ive got probably 20 clips from BF4 all from multiplayer and have never had a problem.

It's a great game but doesn't have a lot to do. Career is the thing they seemed to put all their money there is tons of voice acting, cutscenes, etc. You can really put a lot of time into it.

Friend of mine says his has went like this. Just misses everything now. Mine is still good, but I feel like I'm repeating myself more than I was before.

Are they out?
Mine came in 5 days. MS will give you a free digital download (Ryse, Forza, Dead Rising, or Zoo Tycoon) to play while you wait.

They're not up for me.
My friend's took 10 days. They only give you a free digital download if it's a drive problem, so yeah he might get that.
Maybe they're just not up yet, but they will be.
Jealous... I haven't bothered purchasing it on my Win 8 laptop, would rather have a controller and splitscreen support.
Looking forward to your clearly unbiased opinions

If anyone is looking for an xbox one in nyc, i saw a bunch in toys r us on 42nd st,union square.
Is the 5 dollar XB1 upgrade infinite amount of time for Halo Spartan Assault? It is the one game I spent real money for from the Windows 8 Store. Not a big fan of the arena combat setup of the game but part of the problem could have been the bad keyboard/mouse control setup. I might give it another shot when I get my XB1 if it is still available for cheap.
