NFL app is awesome. User created clips integrated with all the titles in the store is genius.

I went to games and searched for demos to find them btw.

I have 5100 Microsoft Points in my account but I cant use them because in august of 2013 Microsoft stopped using the points system, is there anyway to get them to convert my points to cash so that I can purchase a game? Im on the chat site and its a 40 minute wait, so I just want to know if there is anything that I need to say to them to get them to convert my points..

"Xbox Snap TV"

Or say "Xbox Snap" and select TV

Or go home, choose snap, and select TV.

Its because Amazon lowered the Price on a bunch of their games to keep up with WalMart.. Walmart has a number of XBox One and PS4 games Marked down to $49..

I saw that, It's only online FYI. I called a couple Wal-Mart stores and they still had their games at $60. But I also looked on Amazon and it appeared to still be $60.

Does Amazon give you codes if you want to download it digitally instead of waiting for it to ship? It would be pretty awesome if they did.

And I'm not sure if these Kinect commands are going to get 'gimmicky' after a while. But this first night, I am using them EVERY time and I have not touched my controller/remote since I started using them. It's just amazing being able to be on your computer while typing and say 'Xbox, snap TV, watch ESPN'.

And this is just on release date, can you imagine 4-5 years from now, we are going to be SO spoiled.

They have PSN codes, would be awesome if that leads to Live codes at some point.

Re: Xbox One

OK so I was pretty much in love with the X1, voice controls simple and responsive, snapping tv, queueing demos etc but things have come screeching to a halt. Suddenly I'm getting a "kinect is disconnected" message even though it was plugged in and working great for 3 hours.

I've tried the solutions online: unplugging and waiting then replugging the kinect, turning X1 completely off, even plugging into wall instead of a strip and nothing has worked. Very disconcerting and I'm going to be pissed if I have to deal with the 16 day turnaround of a warranty replacement since I bought mine from amazon. It'd be faster to buy the square trade warranty if that's the case.

I've seen others online with same issue. Any OSers seeing this?

Its online only at Wal-Mart but if you do store pickup and your store has it in stock you can pick the game up the same day..

I am super biased, but I have gotten so used to saying "Xbox Watch ESPN" in my office, and I don't think I'll stop.

I get excited thinking about 5 years from now. We cut so many awesome features and there's cool stuff we haven't even thought of yet

Let me check with the call center folks tomorrow. I've heard of a handful of calls coming in about this as well.

Re: Xbox One

@FlightWhite - I just included 4 of your posts in my daily summary I send back to my team about my time down here in the Portland call center. I even included "No doubt this is a MAN'S SYSTEM" in the title.

To me if you run your cable or satellite box through the xbox one it seems like it should always be full on because if you turn the xbox one off there is NO HDMI Passthrough if xbox one is off, unless I'm missing something in the settings?

I highly doubt you can, but can you give us any prospect of what you are working on to make this system more amazing in 5 years from now?

I can't even imagine what you're planning with your first major update.
