Re: Xbox One

Anyone picking up Fantasia? Went ahead and grabbed the Digital Deluxe before I went to work. Wife was kinda lukewarm until she saw "Counting Stars" and "Let it go" among the DLC tracks.... 'im going to have to try those...'

I was going to get a physical copy at Best Buy but there was no pre-order credit and whatnot. I have GCU and I'm sure between that and DLC I'd probably have been better off buying it there, but oh well.

Wish a Rock Band 4 was coming, hopefully next year. In the meantime Rocksmith is coming to the next gen consoles next month. Probably snag that on PS4 though for the remote play stuff they're building into it.

If I have people over I throw on Xbox music a lot. Really cool since they added all the videos in for a lot of the songs.

Yeah, my 3 year old loves that. Though he just wants to hear Let it Go and Happy over and over.

Probably on sale...too busy right now, but really enjoyed the demo. Made me feel like I was a conductor in a way. Motion gaming in a way that doesn't involve jumping around like an idiot lol

I was going to get the physical version until I fired up the Twitch app and started watching people play it. Spending $90 on this means Sunset Overdrive and some others are getting rented/waiting at best for now. Still have Madden/Diablo 3/Destiny on PS4 I've been tinkering with lately and now World of Warcraft, Diablo 3 and Endless Legend on PC. So much to play right now.

Exactly. I have FC4 coming next month, and Madden's tiding me over for now.

I'll be getting some older stuff on sale as time goes on. Just not enough time and too many good games. Plus they're fixing my upstairs One now, so hopefully have that back soon...not having that kills my gaming time a bit.

I'm more watching my spending and trying to not go crazy with new stuff...Far Cry 4 will tide me over for a couple months I think....by then I'll have a few slightly older stuff on sale that's way worth it I think.

That is how I feel right now... Madden, Destiny and Shadow of Mordor are keeping me busy now. Still have yet to dive into Diablo 3.

Be careful...that's a deep rabbit hole my friend. Since I've dove down into it I've not come back up for air..

Re: Xbox One

There are to many games coming out next month that I want to play. Have WWE2k15 Pre-Ordered, Then there's Halo, Assassins Creed Unity, and Far Cry.

Know i'm buying WWE and one other...probably Halo or Far Cry, have never played Far Cry but heard it was so nice. May start back Gamefly for a few months

Re: Xbox One

Can you put game saves on usb like you could with the 360?

This. If I didn't have borderlands pre-sequel to feed my loot addiction I would probably still only be playing Diablo. Amazing game.

Well to each their own but right now the ability to background stream music is the one of the most requested features. MS is losing a lot of money for their failure to provide it as a feature considering that Sony has done so (with their music service).

There are at least 10-12 games I've bought for PS4 due to this one reason. And any time I have a choice of buying a game on one system or the other this is the reason I choose the PS4.

MS needs to wise up and get that feature in pronto.

Odogg, in all fairness, I don't think this is a reason why the Xbox isn't selling more. While I agree the more features the better. I don't remember ever playing music in the background while I played. I think maybe in racers I might've done it in the past, but I don't think it's that important. Especially when it's not like it's your own music from your own mp3s. To me that's better if you can bring your own music and even save it to your hardrive. Also, I'd take DNLA anyday over being able to play music in the background while you game.

I don't think I said it's the reason it's not selling more. I just said for me it's very important. I haven't played Forza Horizon 2 as much as I'd like to since it seems rather drab without my own music in regards to atmosphere.

And although it may not be why Xbox zone hasn't sild more at least in my case it's cost Microsoft a good bit of profits considering I've pretty much just been buying all my games on the PS4. And we all know that the money is made in the software more than hardware.

And for those who say big deal, it's just you, know this...I've convinced most of my friends to go PS4 over Xbox One so never underestimate the power of word of mouth.

One other thing, I did not NOT buy an Xbox One because of this. In fact I own two...but I've been quite patient and it's time it's added. I mean we are nearly a year in and it's a basic feature that should been at launch... As for DLNA, of course that's needed, I goes hand in hand with background music.

Re: Xbox One

How would I opt out of the dashboard preview? Rather just stick to stable builds since my wife uses it a lot

There is a pretty nice thread dedicated for people that want to compare the two consoles they own. If you feel the constant need to do so, maybe it would be a better place for you to post. It feels like you mainly want to talk about what PS4 has that the Xbox doesn't.

Regardless, I think six or seven posts about the music might be enough for use to get the point. I'm sure it would be a wonderful feature for many people. But when you are the one guy beating the drum, while the rest of us admit we didn't even use it last gen, maybe bragging about how you have steered sounds a little lame. But good for you?

It seems silly to work so hard to crap on the console every time folks start to enjoy it more because of the updates. We all hope the updates keep coming.
