Re: Xbox One

Can someone give me a quick rundown on Atmos? I have a sound bar, so obviously don't have it lol, but just wondering...

Atmos is spatial audio, lets audio designers position sounds above you at any point rather than coming right from a speaker. This is done frequently by bouncing audio off the ceiling, or having a large array of speakers (in theaters, like 60 ceiling speakers...)

I have 2 speakers sitting on my tower speakers, bouncing audio off of my ceiling. If they were better dialed in they'd sound better, but I get some of the effect and it adds more height to the wall of audio coming at me.

I enabled the update last night, but it seems like I have a half second delay in audio that I need to figure out how to adjust.

sounds like its only for those with the ultimate edition

Ah, sorry about that.

That's cool...though i have high, angled ceilings in my bedroom and living room, wonder how it'd work there....

Re: Xbox One

Looking to pick up an XBOX1 s, is the 1tb enough or should I fork out the extra $100 for the gears 2tb one?

Re: Xbox One

I would get the 1TB one (or even the 500GB one) and just buy an external hard drive. I have a 4tb WD external hard drive for my xbox one S. Works great!

Great advice, I have a 2TB external hooked up to my 500GB stock drive and it's working out great.

Re: Xbox One

So did anyone else get those messages saying $5 was added to your account? It's from from the EA Access thing where some people couldn't play the trails

I got two messages. One for Madden 17 and one for NHL 17...... It says the money is added to your Microsoft account and you can spend it on anything

But I've yet to see money added to my account and I got the messages on the 2nd and the 5th of December. I asked about it on another site but people act like they have no idea what I'm talking about. A few did say they got the messages as well but didn't get the money added

It's not a big deal and quite frankly I'm surprised. But I don't see why they would send the message and then not honor it

Re: Xbox One

I didn't get a message for either game, played about 5 hours of each trial too. Never had any issues with it though.

Then I wonder - do you have a yearly subscription or monthly? They claim to be giving back the amount of a single month cost, so I wonder if they sent those messages to people who pay the monthly cost? But if you pay yearly then that theory goes out the window.

Was the message from Xbox Live or from some EA account? If Xbox then it seems to take 10 business days to get codes. When I bought R6 Siege last year I was supposed to get a code for the R6 vegas games. I contacted them after 12 days saying it said i would get within 10 days. They said it is actually 10 business days (and I got the codes on the 10th business day.)

If it was from xbox then it probably is the same, so you likely would get the codes on Friday or Monday being the 10th business day after you got the messages.

It was directly from Xbox but had to do with the EA Access deal. I was on a monthly trial but it wasn't like I canceled in the middle of it I just simply turned off auto renewal so when it was over it was over
