As far as the emulation stuff that Atlas mentioned, we're talking about 360, right? Does that mean we'll be able to pop 360 discs in like with OG Xbox games on 360, or does it just mean they'll be offering digital 360 games (at a probable way too high price) for download?
It only took me three tries with "Xbox...on" for the console to turn on last night. Ugh.
lol the ending, "the ps4 looks like an empty carton"...
He just said the same things I've been saying for months. The thing that annoyed me the post was when people like PT especially kept saying "I'm glad the Kinect is bundled with every console because it means ALL developers will uitilize it, unlike with Sony and their camera where it is an optional thing." I'm paraphrasing of course and that sentiment was echoes by almost every gaming outlet, podcast, etc as well. The problem is that even though it is included with EVERY console it's pretty obvious that developers don't give a shit. What third party XBone game really utilizes the thing? And where are the first party games? Sure, Kinect Sports Rivals or whatever it's called, releases today, right? But does anyone care? How is MS not pumping out quality games utlizing THEIR hardware that THEY forced on everyone? I don't get it.So that whole argument of being glad that every console has one is completely shot to hell.
Digital prices need to be way better too. I'm not sure how they are going to do it because they still need to keep retail partners happy, but something needs to be done. JMS mentioned Peggle. That game is about $5 more than it probably should be.
Everyone seems to be praising Phil Spencer as the messiah that will save Xbox. I asked before and I don't think anyone answered. Wasn't he the same smug guy that announced the $500 price at last years E3 like it was some sort of bargain?
I think Xbox One is going to be fine with new leadership. The implementation of DX12 and reallocating resources from the Kinect back into the console is going to be big. If they can return the focus back to games instead of trying to be the center piece of my living room, it will pay off for MS in the long run.
New Xbox One System Update Begins Rolling Out Tonight
Tonight, we will begin rolling out the next Xbox One system update. Again, I’d like to thank all of the Xbox Live members who previewed features with us and shared some of their feedback. Their input helped shape this system update, and we look forward to expanding our list of previewing Xbox Live members in the coming months.
Here’s the final breakdown of the features rolling out to Xbox One systems starting tonight and over the next few days:
- Game and app saves and updates. A game save progress bar will show you the status of your game saves. You will also be able to easily tell what games and apps are being updated or have been updated recently.
- Friends improvements. Notifications will be added to see when favorites and friends sign in to Xbox Live. This was one of the most frequently requested features, so we made it a priority to include it in this update. Also, friends who are in multiplayer will be identified in the friends list.
- Kinect voice and motion improvements will continue to be fine-tuned for quality and reliability of Xbox One commands. For example, we’ve updated some of the gesture functionality to reduce false positives on non-hand objects triggering gesture commands.
- Improved GameDVR video quality through compression algorithm improvements.
- Blu-ray player supports 50 Hz video output for content recorded at 50 Hz. We’ll also be updating the Blu-ray Player app in the coming days to round out these improvements.
- Controller and headset adaptor firmware updates will reduce audio static and improve wireless connectivity.
- Silent reboot after system updates and system update on demand now available. If your console is in Instant On mode, the update will happen automatically and return to standby upon completion. This means you won’t need to power on your console after an update moving forward. If you want to take future updates when available without waiting for your console to do it on its own, we’ve added this option under system settings and you’ll be able to use it next update. It will only show as available when there is an update to take.

I like the friend notifications that are being added, the Xbox One's online setup has already come a long way since launch. Great to see because I admit I was getting quite frustrated at first.
