Re: Xbox One

I thought I read if you get the right drive the games actually load quicker. Can someone link to one of them on amazon or something?

Re: Xbox One

What drive did you buy and did you notice any slowness as a result of loading games from your external drive?

I've been using an external drive, and I don't think there is any difference. using a USB 3.0 external, it should be fine, if not better than the internal.

I spent more money on my External, mainly so it more mobile, It was a 4TB Seagate Portable HDD(can fit inside your pocket). This would allow me to take it and plug it into another Xbox One, and as long as I log into that xbox as me, I can play those games.

Thank you. Just ordered the 1 tb one they recommended. I like the idea of not having another power cord.

Re: Xbox One

I'm using the 500gb from my PS4. Now I know I need at least 1Tb if not more.

Great minds think alike...same thing I'm doing, LMAO

I bought a Seagate backup plus 4TB drive. I dont really notice much difference in load times. I havent installed a game directly to it since they were already installed on my internal drive, I just copied them over.

Just make sure whatever drive you buy is USB 3.0 though.

This is the one I bought. I got it on sale last month for $149 IIRC.

The disk speed on that one isn't really that much faster than the xbox one drive (5400 RPM vs 5900 RPM). Get a drive that's at least 7200 RPM if you want to see a speed boost.

Re: Xbox One

Just got done playing an hour of tomb raider on the xbox one. When I went to take disc out I noticed the right top side of my xbox was warm. The left side was still cool but right was warm. Am I ok or is this going to be a problem down the road. I bought my Xbox One in March, and to be honest I never really noticed until yesterday. Stays a little cooler when I just watch Starz. Thanks. Sorry if this is on here too just didn't want to read through 1,000 plus posts.

Nothing to worry about. That's where the heat dispenses.

Re: Xbox One

Never thought I'd get into a game like Peggle. But thanks to access I got it and man is it a pretty cool little game.

More social features, new ways to watch TV, and USB and DLNA Support Coming Soon

Starting in the early access program later this month, new social features making it easier for gamers to connect with their friends and new ways to access their TV and entertainment throughout their homes will be coming to Xbox One. The updates include:

• New “Friends” section – the new Friends section has been available for a few early access Preview members and we’re expanding it to everyone enrolled in the Preview program. The new Friends section enables users to see at a glance what’s going on with their friends. They can stay up-to-date with their current activities, the most popular games their friends are playing, and a Gamerscore leaderboard to see who has improved their Gamerscore over the last 30 days.

• Snap Center – Some of gamers’ favorite features in the Xbox 360 guide, are coming to Xbox One in a way that’s now truly be side-by-side with games. Messages, friends, parties, and achievements will all be available in the new Snap Center, providing a seamless way to switch back and forth without having to leave a game.

• Threaded Messages – keeping gamers in their games while they multitask has been a huge focus. The new Messages app features threaded messages with the full conversation history – including embedded links to Game DVR clips – that can be viewed without interrupting gameplay.

• Media Player – a new app will be available soon that enables users to play media files from either an attached USB device or from a network connected home media server that supports DLNA protocols. The preview version of the Media Player app will initially only support USB devices, with DLNA support coming soon. Xbox One will support more formats than Xbox 360, including support for dozens of new file formats like mpeg 2 TS, animated gifs and mkv which will be added by the end of the year. See below for additional file formats.

• Xbox One Digital TV Tuner –announced last week, this new accessory will enter a limited preview program in Europe (UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain), in advance of its retail launch beginning in October.

• Stream TV to SmartGlass – launching first in markets receiving the Xbox Digital TV Tuner, Xbox One owners will be able to stream their TV across their home network to their smartphones and tablets using the Xbox SmartGlass app. They can also pause, play and rewind as well as change channels, without interrupting gameplay on the Xbox One. This will work for SmartGlass apps on Windows, iOS, and Android.

• Boot to TV – Now Xbox One owners will be able to set their console to boot directly to television when coming out of connected standby.

• Live TV mini guide – for markets where OneGuide is available, a new mini guide on the bottom of the screen will display details about the TV content that is currently playing. Users can quickly change channels and see what’s on other channels, while still watching TV.

• Country Expansion – we’re doing a lot of work on the backend to prepare for Xbox One to launch in 29 new markets
  in the coming weeks.
