The NEW Official Xbox® Thread: $399 system without Kinect coming in June

Disney makes a Ducktales line for infinity… this needs to happen.

lol.

The video Example needs Bop it sound effects.

Too funny. :lol: MS really needs to work on their PR.

Hilariously awful. Between that and the super lame experience that is the Tips & Tricks section of the Xbox One dashboard, people at Microsoft need to be getting fired.

Why? Sense of humor is bad?

It should be well documented that MS employs airheads to help market Xbox and maintain the dashboard(s).

Look at this little gem I spotted earlier this year:

Promoting new music from Wale but putting the wrong name. Tragically, people are getting paid for this.

Really? Is that true?

Can anybody here confirm this? I don’t own either console, but I’m curious if anyone here who has both can say it’s a fact.

I doubt much anyone here has both systems. I just happen to not spend money very often where pulling out 700 for the Xbox and a TE2 was feasible. People barely have money for one system, let alone both. I would ask @rcaido

Otherwise I would just take their word for it. I haven’t bought any disc titles for the One yet, but I wasn’t impressed with the download speeds for KI or Crimson Dragon.

Yeah i decided not to pick a PS4 & i still haven’t bought any xbox one disc games…Only game i have is KI & is probably the only game ill buy until Titan Fall. Decided to build my first PC, so dont really need any of those PS4/Xbox one games at the moment.

I can confirm that from watching live streams. On the plus side, you can start playing games when they reach 50% installed.

What makes this really weird also is the X1 installs less data on the drive than the PS4 does.

The install time is terribly terribly slow. I live in Australia, aka the place with the most horrid internet ever. My download times vary from less than 1mb to up to 15 mb… Though it usually settles at around 2-5 mb

So I was expecting long loading times. But what I got was… Disappointing, worse than 360 because of the massive nature of these downloads:

I can’t remember what my first download was, but I had to download an update, then install.

My second download was ki. The install was excruciating. Several hours…but that’s NOT the worst part.

The worst part is that since I live in Australia, land of hamsters running the internet on their hamster wheels, my wired connection is very fluctuous… And during the ki install, my connect disconnected, so… I had to reinstall everything from scratch… That means my gigs got eaten up for nothing… Can’t get those back… And I also had to re download ki from scratch… Luckily the second time the install went much faster, only taking about 3 hours or so to install, whereas the first install took about 5 hours to get to 58%

All in all, I’m not to impressed by these download sizes nor the install times.

However I can’t compare this to ps4 since I haven’t gotten one yet, but something tells me that in shitty internet connections ps4 is just going to flatout beat the living tar out of the bone for install to play times average.

And I’m a hopeless ms junky so it isn’t easy for me to admit.

I’m still holding out hope that ms fixes these issues with some sort of software patch, and I’m still loving all the things kinect can do and the voice commands and whatnot, but this seriously is a deal breaker, at least on my end as soon as I get a ps4 I mean why would I choose to pay for a game on the bone that will take hours to install versus just doing it on my ps4 for so little time to install?

You need to move to another country…KI download/install was less then 25minutes that’s with all the characters & costumes…You can play KI while it was downloading everything.

The original KI was less then 10minutes…

It’s true, the One takes longer to install. Installing games on PS4 is barely even noticable. I don’t think it’s a big deal, though, personally. Plenty of things I can do while waiting for a game to install.

installing from disc has been pretty painless on ps4. killzone i didn’t notice a thing, and 2k14, you can start playing almost immediately in a heat/spur exhibition, and the game was fully installed by 3rd quarter. you know when the commentators start talking. i wonder what the difference is.

the difference is:

had some interesting matches on killer instinct

Nice!

Did you record this straight from your xbox one or you have your own recording device?

after saving the footage go to the upload studio and trim or edit it how you want, then it will ask you to name the edited footage and categorize it. once you’ve done that it will ask to either just save/record it to UPLOAD or record it to both SKYDRIVE and UPLOAD. im signed into my msn account so im automatically logged into skydrive
