Re: Xbox One

I have a PS4 and Xbox One.

Honestly, it's very subjective. What may be worth it to me, might not be worth it for someone else.

As of right now, I haven't really been using the snap TV features at all. I play a lot of online shooters so it would just be a distraction for me. With that said, though, not being able to choose where the sound comes from (game or snap) pretty much kills it for me. Just thinking about baseball season. I may want to watch a game, but not actually listen to it.

I do watch TV on the One and it works well. Haven't really had any issues there.

Your game line up would match my One game lineup exactly. Forza and Dead Rising all both solid choices. I have Titanfall preordered.

I understand it's hard to give opinions, because no two people are the same, but I appreciate you being able to give your suggestion.

I did not realize that you couldn't choose audio.. that stinks! My ideal would be to have the game audio come through my headphones and the tv audio come through the tv, but I know that's not realistic yet. Any word on whether being able to choose audio will be patched?

Do you find having both worth it? Which do you tend to play more?

Re: Xbox One

For all of you having Netflix problems, I know there have been a ton of articles out recently "accusing" Verizon of throttling Netflix (and Amazon AWS) traffic ever since the Net Neutrality decision was overturned. According to Netflix, download speed for Verizon (FIOS and DSL) and Comcast customers has decreased when using Netflix over the past several months.

I have both, even if I only opportunisticly bought Live Arcade games and exclusives and bought everything else for PS4, we have no regrets, mostly because of the Kinect and TV/video app integration.

Re: Xbox One

Any one having this problem with the Kinect? It no longer recognises the " Yes or No Command. I will say Xbox turn off and get the prompt but then have to select yes with the controller because it does not understand the followup "yes" anymore. It had worked before.

Yep, I had that happen as well. Looks like a bug that cropped up with the last update, as several reddit users also had it. I power cycled the console (Hold down power button until it powers all the way down. When the power supply LED turned amber, I unplugged it for a few minutes). Once I plugged it back up and started it, it recognized the "yes/no" commands again.

Re: Xbox One

Who is getting the Xbox One Media Remote? Looks really cool not having to use the controller for channel changing.... From what I heard it lights up the moment you pick it up. $25 bucks isn't a bad hit either!

I'll definitely get it, I've been waiting for them to release one since launch. It will make watching Blu Rays much better.

I've been like Daniel Bryan every time I try and turn off my Xbox. I'm saying 'Xbox Turn Off' and then 'Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!' and then I give up and use my controller.

Re: Xbox One

can I make clips on purpose when I want or are they all automatic?
sorry, probably been asked before but in battlefield nothing seems intuitive for that type of stuff.

If you say "Xbox, Record That" it will record the last 30 seconds of gameplay.

I'm biased as I worked on the console-side SW for this remote (and helped a bit with the design), but it's really, really nice having this remote if you use your Xbox One for TV or media. I can just walk into the room, say "Xbox On", grab the remote, go to Pandora on IE, open up OneGuide, browse some videos, etc.

The remote + voice really complement each other well and it's not having to power on the controller for everything.

Exactly. Wives, children, and some other folks are intimidated by the controller. With this remote, it fits well in their hands, is simple, and it's something they already understand how to use.
