Just found out when myconsole arrives.amazing white "I Made This"
So pumped. MAXIMUM PSi.
you taunt me like a cruel, cruel mistress. What rubs salt in my wounds even more is that I had a very good friend on the xbox team, who ended up quitting a month ago. I said..wait until release and I'll pay you handsomely for that xbox, as he wasn't too enthused with limited editions. But no, he quits and I'm stuck alone with two Day One editions coming my way.

Interesting... the X1 can calibrate your TV?

Actually the built-in HD Calibration tool is awesome. Doesn't replace a Spyder or ISF calibration, but it's a great tool for the average customer to get their set in shape.

Hey Albert, can you confirm if Twitch streaming is on XB1 at launch?
since I had to go the extra mile and order day 1 games from a different place than the console itself, here they are:
in dead rising 3, you get to play also as both the characters of dr1 and dr2 (costumes included)
in ryse you get some special sword and an extra multiplayer map
in forza you get 3 cars pretuned and prepainted by t10
even in bf4, you get the china rising expansion plus some other things, and this is not even called "day1", just sold along the other day1 editions

Are you saying this based on anything you know? Or just guessing?

Very good to hear albert, what can we expect in it? Brightness calibration,contrast? Also are the patterns 0-255 full rgb? I thought xbox one games run full rgb since it's basically a pc. While 16-235 limited rgb is best with movies, or tv's that don't support full rgb? If you could answer that, thanks. And what would you reccomend? Full rgb or limited?

If you buy the games digitally within the first week of release you also get the day 1 bonuses.

Thanks Albert! I normally calibrate my own TV's but Yes, I heard this feature was actually better than your regular vanilla one so Kudos! to whoever worked on this

I tweeted Albert but never got a response. I'm curious with Xbox wanting to be the centerpiece of your living room, and running your tv thru your xbox, do you have to keep your tv in game mode all the time ? Will Xbox one, flip your tv into game mode when playing a game, but turn it off when you go back to tv ? Reason I ask, most living room tv's are lcd, 120 hz - 240 hz, with frame interpolizaration turned on. For example, I have a Samsung F7100 led tv, input lag in game mode is around 38ms, but without game mode on, its around 100+. Anyone have any ideas ?

Well from watching the entire stream, this is what I got.
RYZE is easily the most graphical game of any console at launch, the faces are animations are amazing, and the combat looks fun.
That being said, the slow motion kills will get super old after 2 hours, and did seem quite repetitive. IMO it will get a 7.8 or so.
Dead rising 3 seems to be the most "fun" game, but the story seemed awful, as did the characters. But the gameplay might be the best out of every console, Looks enjoyable.

Does anyone have a link to that list of all the game install/download sizes? I tried searching, but couldn't find it.
"Slow motion kills" are completely optional and you have to pull RT to even start them.
Of course not. Just a guess.
TV will display in whatever input and setting the Xbox is on. So if game mode is on for XB1 it will stay on for TV.

Might be a few missing there but that's a fair few.
But you are probably getting an limited edition white/silver Surface Phone next year.

They should. I know there is some weirdness with HDCP content over those types of devices, so you need to make sure your monitor and whatever convertor support HDCP.
No way in hell. My buddy has been calling 10 Gamestops to see what their preorder scenarios are, and they won't have any extra at all for walk ins.

Hey Al, will Kinect be able to switch inputs through an HDMI switch*?
Afaik the IR Blaster functionality can do that. I hope I will be able to just turn on my Xbox and it automatically switches to the One.
lol
Sweetness. Thanks for answering.
You're a good guy Albert. Stay classy and always remember that you've got friends here on GAF. Please enjoy this Optimus Prime gif.

Hey, Albert. I have a question...
Can you download games whilst playing a single player game that also has multiplayer?
Did you know that Roman soldiers were paid in Salt, which was a useful and portable commodity?

Come on MS step up that stock situation.
Confirmed?

Still trying to decide if I should buy the disc or download version.
