Right now, my One is not running through my receiver for surround sound. So i wanted to get sound for tv and One through the soundbar, preferably through HDMI. If that's not possible, optical. Yeah my next attempt is gong to be running the hdmi from the One to the Soundbar.

      Re: Xbox One

      For anyone that has the updated controller with the headphone jack and bumpers, is it a huge upgrade?

      If it is I may trade in my current controllers and upgrade; unfortunately I'll take a hit on the price difference.

          I would sell my xbox one and buy the 1tb with the matte finish instead and the excellent new controller.

          More space without need for extra wires

          Controller has fixed bumpers and feel awesome. No cracking and triggers butter smooth with zero sound. The 3.5 jack is great with my samsung earbuds and volume and chat can be controlled in the settings under controller. The controller can update firmware via wireless and no cable needed

          You would get a new game of choice along with Halo MCC

          The controllers are excellent but I love the extra space and matte finish

            Re: Xbox One

            So is the 1tb Bundle the only one that comes with the updated controller? From the wording on Xbox.com it says that any controller bought in or after June 2015 is updated. I know stuff is manufactured a bit in advance, obviously.

                Yeah, I'm just not sure I need the space. Though I'm wondering if HDD space is going to end up like last gen and 500gb becomes nothing as these patches get bigger and bigger.

                  By the bolded part, did you mean that your DirecTV box is connected to the Xbox's HDMI-in?

                  Today you have your soundbar and Xbox connected to different HDMI inputs on the TV?

                    yes. I just ran the optical from the One to the Bar and it works.

                        That Forza 10 year anniversary 1TB Xbox one may be the one that gets me to own both consoles.

                        August huh?

                            You may have an optical out on the back of the TV that you can run to the soundbar instead. Then when you want to use the soundbar, everything you have physically connected to your TV will run its audio through it.

                              Anyone know what the warranty is on the Kinect? Mine is shot. The lights won't come on after a hard reset, unplugging or plugging doesn't help.

                                Unsure of the warranty, but I'd consider contacting support. They've been pretty good (from what I hear) about replacing dead Kinects.
