Yeah the app is a lot better than the 360 one. Much more visible information and the quality of the video is so much better. On my 360 it was a chore to browse and the videos started out really low res for the first minute or two.

Some of the side missions in DR3 are annoying but enjoying the game a lot. Going to buy the season pass.

Ryse multiplayer adds some replay to Ryse. It's pretty fun.
bolded still happens to me on X1 and I have really good internet. And sometimes it doesn't ever get to HD.
I think it is just netflix. I thought it was the xbox too but then I tried netflix on my bluray player and it sucked as well. I have 60mb connection too which was fine last night also.
Dude seriously. Y used to be spacebar on 360 but after the last major update they changed it. What's so hard about programming Y to be spacebar?
if you don't want to pair your device, you're doing it wrong.

netflix on ps4 is in superhd, 1080p, just like ps3 was. When I try netflix on Xbox one, I'm amazed how bad quality is in comparison.
I've tried it. Worked like ass.

That's what I do too, I like the headset itself, I just haven't found a good way to take it off...I don't think one exists unfortunately.

I love Killer Instinct!
Okay, so I answered part of my question on my own, but I just thought of another one, lol!
When I first got my Xbox One I started a completely new profile and bought Crimson Dragon under one account. I wasn't happy with the name I chose so I created a new account and just re-downloaded the game onto my new profile and removed my old profile from my system. I'm assuming the games are tied to the system then because I didn't have to repurchase anything, right?
What if you have to get a new system one day? Would I have to recover the original account that Crimson Dragon had on it as well as my current/permanent one? Will there be anyway to transfer my license to my current account so it's under my current transaction history? Just curious how all of that will work down the road.
Don't know what to tell you. Maybe your network sucks. Works so much faster than hunt and peck to type.

Yuterald, You could have just changed your GT via the menu and games are linked to both the machine and the console. You can play with your new account as the one licence from your old account is still on the console...
Was your Gamertag the name you didn't like? Because you can change that for free without deleting the account.
I don't know about getting a new system though.
Friendly PSA for new X1 owners...
We have a few Gamertag rosters going on:
X1 Roster - USA
X1 Roster - UK / CAN / AUS / Everywhere Else
KI-GAF Roster - All Time-Zones
Stand and be counted, guys

Same here, this is the first time I didn't buy a console at launch just because Microsoft turned me off from them with all that other stuff, but I was always planning on getting one when Halo 5 came out. And right now those gift cards are really pushing me to take the plunge.
That's exactly how I'm thinking about this generation, minus the wife part I don't have one of those yet haha

Oh, It says my gamertag, I was wondering if there was a way to get it to display my real name like my PS4 does? It showed real names being displayed on the start up screen in the console trailers and commercials.
I just need that Y to create a space and I'm happy.

Does anyone else experience really long install times? It took me over 2 hours to install Ryse from the disc. Disconnecting from the internet sped it up a bit, but it still took awhile.

Peggle 2 is pretty fuckin awesome and its not bad at all at $11/$12. You get 5 different peggle masters with different special abilities and some of the courses (tho some could be called puzzles) late in the game are incredibly tough. Its a game of skill that most play with luck. The worst aspects of the game are the weird music and art style and the technical issues that some are having with not being able to connect to multiplayer or getting kicked to the dashboard. I still enjoyed my time with it, perfect game to have a beer, pizza, fruit bowl, or vegetable tray with, and especially worth it if you never played the original.
The GamerTag that I initially created when I first purchased Crimson Dragon was the one I didn't end up caring for so I made a new tag and just re-downloaded the game/started over on the new profile. Wouldn't I have had to pay that $10 GamerTag fee on the first account if I wanted to keep all of my transactions under one account then?

Ryse takes long for almost everyone for some reason. DR3 and Zoo Tycoon both took like ~10-15 for full install for me but Ryse took over an hour if I remember for full install. Servers are likely also getting hammered so that might also factor in.

Ugh the Headset is so nice and high quality, but god damn I feel like I'm going to break the damn thing when I try to take it off the controller. Being so nice and tight is great because it stops accidently disconnects, though. Can't complain much.
I found using the little clip that extends over the back makes it easier. Kind of push away from the controller from the top of the clip on the back. Maybe lift up a little on the clip.
Ok so I have been going back and forth on which console I wanted, considering free time and money I only plan on buying one.
This morning I got an email that the One is in stock at Amazon so I went ahead and took the plunge.
I plan on getting Fifa and then doing Gamefly for a while (they had a promo where I can get the two game plan for a month for $1) so I added Dead Rising 3.
The one question I have is where on the website can I add downloads to my queue and find game demos? It seems confusing compared to how it was with 360.

XB1 is also able to stream SuperHD but only for certain people it seems.
If you load up a video called:
Example Short 297.36 ( Not sure on the numbers. I can look it up if need be. )
It will display the bitrate of the video. 5800 is their "SuperHD" bitrate. Some people who have an XB1 have been able to hit that number. I can't. The highest I've gotten is like 3750 but it always bounces back out of that range.
My Smart TV is able to consistently reach and stay at 5800 and my ps3 in my bedroom is able to hit 3750 and stay there (My bedroom TV is only 720 so it can't get any higher).
I'm not sure why this is the case. My xbox is wired and my download speeds test at 60/10.
No, they've changed the system. There doesn't seem to be any fee now.
I was able to get there but for example there is a demo for Dead Rising 3 (according to the Major Nelson blog) but there is no indication I see on the store site that it exists.
For 360 it would always list the demo and I could add it to my queue.

You cannot transfer your licenses from account A to account B, at least manually you can try contacting Xbox support about it and explain everything to them. But I doubt that they will transfer the license.
And if you ever get a second system you can only play Crimson Dragon on the system that is set as the Home system for the original account. Other accounts on other systems cannot play Crimson Dragon, the only way to play it on a non-home system is to log-in with the account that the license is tied to.
Changing your GT is free now?
Really? I went to change my initial name/tag before I opted to make a new one and at some point they do ask you for those $10 to make the change. I think it appears at first that it's free to change, but if you actually follow the menus/options to the end you'll find yourself at the pay screen.
