Yea Joe, the app is broken and they still haven't fixed it which is sad. It's been like this since I got the slim.

Is it Netflix in general or just the Xbox Netflix app? I'm gonna do a side by side with the ks8000 app and see if there is a difference.

Can't even cancel a preorder on PSN. This is an incredible way to build and move more towards digital for consumers.

I was on the phone with Sony the other day because they charged me for a year of PSN because my PS4 was set to do it automatically and I forgot. I called an hour after being charged and the lady gave me a speech telling me "they'll refund me my money only this one time etc" I wanted them to refund me back my money after an hour of being charged and told them I already bought a year subscription from somewhere else for cheaper. Couldn't believe how they made this a big deal and lecturing people about it.

Re: Xbox One

A few thoughts based on several posts above...

1) Refunds on a console is amazing. Never thought that would actually happen. With that said, im fully expecting people to abuse the hell out of it.

How can you abuse the hell out of it if you can only spend up to 2 hours max with a title?

Re: Xbox One

There should be a brightness change with hdr though. I can fool around with it in a little bit. I just threw on a tales by the light episode and it looks fine to me.

That's what I hear, but when I use the Netflix App via my Shield TV, I don't get that huge dimming of the picture

I think some will use it as a quick "rental" system. Buy a game, try for under the 2 hour limit, return. Not so much abuse but I could see lot's of returns happening which may be an issue with the system. I don't know really. But I for one love the idea of a return system for digital. It's not often I buy a game that I truly don't want or like but having the option to return is nice.

Here's 4 screens I took. One of each using Xbox Netflix and the other using the Samsung Netflix app. First picture of each is the Xbox app. The Samsung app seems like a slightly better picture color wise but I'm not sure I notice a brightness issue. So weird.

Steam has been dealing with this already, abuse is a lot less likely than many would expect IMO.

Tdawg hit the nail on the head. The idea is great and have to wait and see how it's all executed. A lot of people constantly buy games on Steam, play for about two hours and then get a refund on them.

That's good. Hope it's the same for Xbox One.

You probably only get 1 - 3 shots at doing this before your account is flagged I bet.

That's not true at all, but over-exaggerated and pessimistic comments seems to be your shtick.

Origin even before that.

While Steam may have gotten better in this regard, it wasn't this way two years ago. I may over exaggerate sometimes but what you call pessimistic I call realistic. You have this option and well, it's only natural that a lot of people will use and abuse it as much as they possibly can.

So the 1st 2 shots are with and without HDR enabled via the XB-1S Netflix app?

No. They are all with hdr on. I tried to get the same image using the Xbox and Samsung Netflix apps. I figured the Xbox Netflix shots would be darker. Isn't that the issue?


Top picture is xbox Netflix. Bottom is samsung Netflix app.

Maybe it's my TV, but I doubt it. What's the name of the show in your shots? So I can see how it looks.

EDIT: If it's Tale by light, then it's not HDR. The show must say HDR not 4k Ultra. Try any of the Marvel shows IE: Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones

Those will say HDR
