This use to not work for me at all but for some reason now it work 98% of the time (combination of new patch and re-calibrate my Xbox One?). I also realize I was saying Xbox-on instead of Xbox, On.
Nope, he offered a bundle but I just bought the console.

Just started playing Ryse. Kind of a weak game but decent enough to finish.

I'm having a problem with my kinect, I really need to shout xbox every time I want o issue a command and it will work 1/10 times. I recall rated with volume really loud and had no problems.
Not sure if it's just a faulty kinect or it's really crappy at understanding me, it's logo. Functionality works great . On another note is there a way to tell the xbox not to erase when I say xbox turn off? I just want to avoid the yes/no , also does thes overlays appear when on tv mode?
On a brighter note I finally connected my tv up and it works great , definetely something I will explore more, bit of a pain having it always on just to watch tv but I figure I can retire my DVD player and use the xbox instead to save some power

I'm planning to pick up an XBO sometime next month. How does BF 4 look on the system? It runs at 900 p right?

Sadly, no. It doesn't look very good tbh but has acceptable visuals for a game that has destructibility, large maps, and 64 players.

I forgot. 720, 900, 1080 gets talked about across numerous platforms and makes it hard to keep track.

Looks better than the 360 and PS3 versions
And better than the PS4 version to me. More detailed.

why keep track? a good looking game is a good looking game.

Not to my knowledge on that specific topic. Here's a list of the raw computational power of the previous gen consoles and the current gen consoles. Maybe this helps give you an idea of the power gap between the two generations.
PS3
- 230GFLOPS (CPU)
- 176GFLOPS (GPU)
- 22.4GB/s memory bandwidth
PS4
- 102.4GFLOPS (CPU)
- 1.84TFLOPS (GPU)
- 176GB/s memory bandwidth
Xbox 360
- 115.2GFLOPS (CPU)
- 240GFLOPS (GPU)
- 22.4GB/s memory bandwidth / 32GB/s (edram)
Xbox One
- 112GFLOPS (CPU)
- 1.31TFLOPS (GPU)
- 68.26GB/s memory bandwidth / 204GBs (esram)
Keep in mind that these numbers don't tell the complete story. As there's a boat load of new technology incorporated in these consoles. As for a visual aid, go and play a 360 exclusive launch game and compare that to an Xbox One exclusive launch game.
1TFLOPS = 1024GFLOPS

I keep forgetting if I asked this before, but I've got an insane amount of trade-in credit at the local store (like 300+ dollars) and I figured blowing it on hardware is better than piddling it away on software so...I'm looking at an XBO.
Here's my question, we have no cable. However we pretty much get all the OTA channels and their descriptions and program info on screen, how would this work with the XBO? Will "Xbox, Watch TV" just pull up my TV input and let me change channels between the 10-12 we get? Or is this function strictly for set-top boxes and directv receivers hooked up via HDMI?

Thank You, seeing the jump from one gen to the next gets me all excited to see what devs can do with the extra horsepower. What other tech do you mean?
Only a box hooked up trough hdmi. You should be able to get a cheap digital converter box to use it with OTA though

I understand the folks who dont like the lb/rb bumpers but for me the One controller is superb. The more I use it the more I like it, i actually prefer it over the 360 controller. Best gen for controllers yet in my opinion.

just because you was already in a thread that knew what you was asking, seems weird.

Member
anybody?
that's never happening, so you should get used to it. I think the sticks feel awesome. They're different, as are all new controllers. Think of Xbox to Xbox 360.

My Xbox One is having some issues. Every time I try to play a blu ray, it says the player needs updating, and then it times out of trying to update. But one time it launched the blu ray fine and started playing it. WTF?
Can someone help me diagnose my Kinect sensor?
Is the Xbox logo on the Kinect supposed to illuminate white at all times when the XB1 is on?
I only see the white light on/off when it sends a command to the TV or other IR devices.
Right now, the Xbox can't turn on/off the TV with the IR blaster.

Try completely powering off the console, that seems to happen randomly but a full shut off should fix it.
It should always be lit up (but dims). Did you enable the power on/off in tv settings? It's disabled by default
My sensor's Xbox logo is not dimmed at all as I don't see anything. I do see the three IR lights though.
I'm trying to setup the TV settings feature, but the Xbox doesn't detect the TV (Vizio). None of the commands do anything.

I have this preordered on Amazon where I got it locked in for 217. I have enough Amazon gift credit too... so tempted. I want the digital version, though.
on the same boat here, they should add in a version that comes with a download code instead.
At that size with the lights and all, I can't imagine that many though it is available for all 3 platforms it will be on.

Having a small issue with my Xbone and just want to see if anyone else has the same thing.
I am not sure if it is specific to Ryse(great game btw) but I have only noticed it happen as of yesterday and the only game I have played is Ryse. But I will be playing the game and then pause and put console in stand by mode. Come back either a few hours later to resume and use the controller to wake up the console, the white light comes on, then it just turns off. I turn the console on again and its now doing a full re boot instead of just waking from stand by.
Its like it tries to wake up from stand by, fails, turns itself completely off and then I turn the console again from complete power off stage.

When people say BF4 looks bad on the Xbox One, do they mean for a next gen game or is it not even a big upgrade over the 360 version? Because I have the 360 version and it doesn't look too good.
The former.
I think it looks fantastic and better than the ps4 version IMO.
People will always find something to complain about, like the comic book guy.
I am absolutely loving my Xbox One. Normally I'm a PS/Nintendo guy in terms of interest (I went an even split on games between my PS3 and 360) but I'm happy I'm going Xbox One/Wii U/3DS this gen. I had so much negative feelings on the console since E3 that I'm honestly so surprised at my complete 180 (lol) in terms of feelings. Can't wait for the next Halo game and D4 (Deadly Premonition was one of my favorite games last gen).
The only thing I feel I am legitimately going to miss out on is Persona 6, whenever that comes out near the end of the generation.

Um... what? It's fine to say the Xbox One version of the game of the game looks fantastic (since that's a subjective thing), but the PS4 version is objectively better than the Xbox One version. 1080p versus the 720p on the Xbox One, way better antialiasing on PS4, and no weird sharpening/overly dark filter due to the scaler.

I've played it on all 5 systems its fine. Not as good as PC and PS4 but better than current gen for sure.
Aliasing is what you notice in graphics. I sold the PS4 version and only play the XBO version if that helps ease your concerns. I just wanted to play with my most consistent group of friends online.

Heh, I think the reality of a console that you can actually see and play tends to be a lot more mundane than all the worst case scenarios we tend to dream up with something that is unreleased. Especially when a lot of the information at the time would come from largely inept PR statements.
If they went with the original plan I literally wouldn't have bought the console. I live in Canada (where internet is expensive, slow, and capped at small amounts) and constantly go to rural areas (my friend's all live in a small town) where only dial up exists. The original plan was literally a nightmare for me and was a worst case scenario.

I was a February 2007 PS3 early adopter. It really did have no games for a couple years, no exaggeration. Thank goodness for cod4 and ninja gaiden ports.

60% of the time it works every time.
We don't have that command in AUS
Just change your locations in the settings to the States. Xbox On works and you get access to almost half price games.
