Re: Xbox One

Yes, EXACTLY, he should just stick to that, not needed comments. Think I did not not research comments before posting. I know he has posted some good stuff as well, why not just stick to that? I can see you are a PlayStation man yourself, you both post a lot over there. So this might explain why you are coming to his defense, if he does not like my opinion then he can respond, no? I was just trying to state my opinion on keeping it constructive in here. This conversation should of been done a long time ago, was just making a opinion, not intended as a attack. I apologize if taken that way.

If I was planning on attacking you guys I would say something like this: "If PS4 is so good and perfect, then why bother posting in here?"

Also, I would like to say I hope everyone has a great gaming experience for whatever NG console they choose, PS4, Xbone, or both. That is what really matters.

Hold on dude, now you are telling people what and how they can post. Maybe the tables should be turned on you and can't post your opinion.

If your stereo receiver has HDMI out to your TV, there shouldn't be a problem...but the passthrough audio doesn't sound like it's ready for primetime.

For it to work as advertised, you take the HDMI cable from your cable box and hook it into the Xbox One's HDMI input, then run the HDMI out on the Xbox One and plug it into an HDMI input on your receiver, likely where your cable box is plugged into presently. It is likely hooked up already, but an HDMI cable from the output of the receiver is then run to an input on your TV.

Cable Box --> Xbox One --> Stereo Receiver --> TV

Unfortunately, it sounds like the HDMI passthrough isn't transmitting anything but standard Stereo sound (no Dolby)...you could take a optical cable and run it from your cable box to your receiver and assign it to the HDMI input your cable box/Xbox One is occupying. Then when you are watching only the cable box, you can switch the audio to the optical port and enjoy better sound.

Will the X1 output an optical audio signal while outputting via HDMI?

Re: Xbox One

Has anyone seen a video of recordings on a Cable box DVR in use through a XB1. Trying to figure out how this is going to work best for me and the non-gamer wife.

Re: Xbox One



In-game car tokens and their prices in Forza 5. Do the math - pay attention to the "Recommended" and "Great value" choices. Absolutely disgusting. People are, in general, averse to math and used to things being cheaper in bulk. The "great value" nets you a little over half the amount of tokens per Euro. As far as how much cars cost in tokens, the Lotus F1 car costs 10,000 tokens, which would equate to nearly 100 Euros.

100 Pack  = 100 Tokens per Euro
8000 Pack = 80
325 Pack  = 65
1250 Pack = 62.5
575 Pack  = 57.5  RECOMMENDED
2700 Pack = 54    GREAT VALUE

Back on track now:

Skype - Does anyone know if this will only work xbone to xbone? Or can you skype to anyone, anywhere?

You can skype to anyone, anywhere.

Re: Xbox One

He just wants people to post good things about the Juan. This is the cat that needs his purchase justified instead of just going with what he likes.

Thanks for proving my point, you and everyone else posting about this, All PlayStation 4 guys. Who is trying to justify their purchase now? I do not need any justification for me, Xbone all the way!!

Re: Xbox One

Wow, that's pretty damn bad. That takes the sting out of missing Forza this year.

Live TV on Xbox One will have no ability to access your DVR'd content at launch. You would need to use your DVR's remote control.

FWIW - I started a thread for folks to ask me Xbox One Live TV questions: http://www.operationsports.com/forum...-xbox-one.html

Yes, you can do optical out from Xbox One and do video over HDMI.

Dolby Digital/Surround Sound can be enabled as a Beta option in TV and OneGuide settings.

Its time for you to stop it and post on the subject of the Xbox one and off of the posters in the thread.

If anyone has violated the TOS then the mods will deal with it, but as is, if you continue to derail the thread calling people fanboys over and again you'll be banned for trolling.

Lets get back to the topic at hand.

Pointing out people as being PS4 guys isn't getting anything constructive accomplished in this thread. Vast majority of people here are just gamers in general (some very heavy on the PC side). If they see problems with the PS4 or Xbox One they're going to point them out no matter what.
