Re: Xbox One

Back on topic of Xbox One, does anyone know the games that will be on sale this week with Gold not seeing anything online?

Also has anyone else other than me done the streaming too the PC...it's lovely and seamless...

I meant to tonight, but WoW happened, blah. Tomorrow will make it a point to try it.

I'm not trolling or starting anything.

....all of those bashing me for no apparent reason must be regretting Xbox One.

You should probably reconsider this line of thinking. At some point the mods WILL seek to permanently put down tangents like this, and it will begin with posts like that. I mean, if you really don't think you're inciting anybody with the blanket statements like that, I have no words. Between the multiple warnings in this thread after these tangents I don't see reminding us how many hours you've played Wolfenstein on your PS4 and everyone bashing you has buyer's remorse moves this conversation anywhere good, and you're smart enough to know that.

Re: Xbox One

UGH and ouch. The best EA game (Dragon Age Inquisition) isn't even on the list? Majority of the games are sports games and in the case of Madden, why the hell would you play last year's version or the version from two years ago when you obviously now have Madden 16?

The bundle I listed could get you M16, EA Access and one or two additional games. Seriously, it's not even close.

Actually in the next month or so it will be on ea access.

Re: Xbox One

This thread won't be shut down but some of you may be taking a break from the forums if this keeps up. There's no need to always find a fault in everything Microsoft does nor does there need to be anyone constantly defending their every move.

Discuss the XB1, like this thread was intended for.

I've done it with Forza to try it out. Other than the slight input lag (which will always happen) it was great. Obviously doesn't look as good as it does straight from the XBOne to the TV, but I can see it being useful on travel if you bring a laptop or something - though I haven't tried it cross-network at all (with me being on the PC on one network, and the XBOne home on another.)

Back on Topic, anyway I love my One

Re: Xbox One

I was thinking about holding out for the Forza 6 xbox one but the Madden 16 bundle seems like a better deal to me since I was planning on getting EA access anyway. Not too sure about Madden 16 but I may just sell the code if I decide not to use it. With the money saved that I would have spent on EA access, I was thinking about getting Forza 6 the ultimate edition instead. Decisions, decisions

Re: Xbox One

Decided I'm not going to buy any bundle until Gears 4 releases as it'll most likely be released along side a Gears themed console. Only thing is I plan to have a One before Gears ultimate releases, so I'll be picking up the cheapest one I can find on Amazon but need some help from some of you guys in the know.

If I wanted to upgrade the storage space down the line , can I use any external hard drive?

What's the difference between the controllers, day one, current release and future elite controller?

What are some good headsets, preferably ones that I don't have to buy any adapter to use?

You can attached a USB 3.0 external HD directly to the console's USB ports for easy expansion. Look for a 7200rpm drive, they apparently speed up install times.

I'm not sure of the differences between day one controllers and now. But the elite controller that's coming is a whole new animal, and quite a bit more expensive. It has lots of customization options, advanced controls etc. Here's a nice profile on it from the MS/Xbox website:

Headsets... I don't use one, so I can't help.


EDIT: USB 3.0 Hard drive... not 2.0 as I originally typed... damn typo's

Go with a USB 3.0 drive, not a 2.0 drive.

Thank you, I appreciate the help.

Do you have any Wi-Fi problems, as far as getting your full connection if your not in the same room as your router?

My router is on the opposite side of my house and I don't have any issues.

The connection isn't 100 percent but I can still play without any issues.

Can you do that? I thought it was for the same network only. Unless it works by setting up a VPN?

Re: Xbox One

I finally got a Kinect after getting my One a few weeks ago and all I can say is that the voice commands are awesome. I was kind of leery about it originally, but after seeing it in action I'm a full on Kinect homer now and I haven't even tried a game with it yet (although gaming with it will mainly be my wife's thing). Just switching being watching TV, then NetFlix, then Amazon Instant Video, then a video game, then back to TV without ever touching a controller is amazing. If I could go back in time and tell my 10 year old self this in the late 80's, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be here today because my 10 year old head would have exploded.

My only hiccup was I didn't realize that the console had to be out in the open, as well. I keep the console closed in a cabinet in the builtin's in my living room. So now I have to get a IR Blaster, but that's not a big deal.
