Re: Xbox One

Thinking of getting an Xbox one. I'm finding it hard to sort through some peoples bias. I'm more interested in the ones multimedia capabilities. How does the one handle the live TV aspect and can you control your dvr with it?

Is Dolby sound supported now for tv? Are there any exclusives that are worth playing. I'm not an online gamer so online only games do nothing for me.

The system handles Live TV well, but you're not able to control your DVR through the system. Xbox system uses Dolby Digital, so that's not an issue. When it comes to exclusives, there's the Halo Collection, Sunset Overdrive, Quantum Break (coming out) Ryse, Dead Rising 3, Forza series, Titanfall (it's an online shooter though)

It can pause/play and fast forward/rewind live TV or something on DVR using kinect....just not able to access your DVR list and pick shows to watch because that's a different behavior for each cable company and probably not simple to make intuitive.

I wish I could use Fantasia gestures to control stuff.

Re: Xbox One

Any of you guys in the preview program taking advantage of the screenshot feature?

Re: Xbox One

I have a few times, yeah, haven't tried to share or export any of them. Was never a big fan of the double-Xbox button method but there are only so many options and the snap menu they added there in a prior update is pretty awesome.

I'd rather have the option to remap the snap button to one of the functions (screenshot, start/stop recording, map to a command like 'snap party', maybe a DVR command?).

Awesome feature. I've had several, "Xbox Take Screenshot" quips and my daughter thinks it's hilarious! I've used the screenshot as my Background.

Re: Xbox One

Yeah, love that I can make whatever I screenshot my background.

Re: Xbox One

Screenshot feature not compressing images when shared to Twitter is a huge plus.

Re: Xbox One

I have a copy of Life Is Strange which randomly popped up in my library. Anybody have any insight into how this happened?

This is my home Xbox, and I'm the only owner of it. I do believe my profile is on a friend's Xbox but it doesn't strike me as a game he'd buy.

Re: Xbox One

It is a try it free game, think it's just messaged poorly.

I may have to consider the EA Access program when the NHL game gets dropped in it.

I have it and really like it. I am not big on buying a bunch of games for a new console. So for 30 bucks a year I get to play a handful just to keep me busy. We'll see if I renew next year. Depends on how much that vault changes.
