Kinectless X-Box One at $399? I'm in.

[TimmiT]

I already have a PS4. I might get an Xbox One when it's below $300 and there are enough exclusive games on it that I want. And Sunset Overdrive and Halo 5 aren't enough for me. There's also the possibility that Insomniac will later port the game over to PC or PS4 or make a sequel that isn't exclusive to Xbox One, seeing how they own the IP. So this $400 Kinect-less Xbox One isn't really convincing me just yet. If anything, it should be even cheaper because the hardware is inferior to the PS4.

Well, after trading in a ton of games to Best Buy, I finally got myself an X-box One.

So far, after 2 HOURS of updating, I get to the homescreen, put some games in queue, and put in Titanfall........IT'S BEEN 2 & 1/2 HOURS AND IT'S STILL INSTALLING THE FUCKING GAME!! It's got a 1.5 GB update with it.

Fuck this generation. I remember a time when I could just stick a disc or a cartridge in a system and it would just play the fucking game. It'll be tomorrow before I fucking play ANYTHING on it.

PS4 installs games really fast. That is certainly one advantage it has over the XBOX One at the moment. Maybe Microsoft will change that in the future.

Same happened with me when i got Dead Rising 3, those installs are ridiculous. I'm sure you'll have some fun with it once you get it up and running.

Titanfall is the only game I can play right now because the other games are taking fucking forever to install. So while I'm waiting, I decide to play the Lego Movie and..... YOU NEED TO INSTALL A BLU-RAY PLAYER APP?! What fucking madness is this? How can you be so fucking incompetent as to not have a working Blu-ray player right out of the box?! Jesus.

I will say this, your movie apps download fast and surprisingly require no extra sign in despite being on a brand new machine. That's convenient. Also seem to have a sharper picture streamin on X-Bone than my PS4 fr some reason. Also, the system is super quiet.

I love the feel of the controller, I might just get one for my PC gaming (as little of it as I do).

[Shigs]

So I had the system on all goddamn day downloading the Dead Rising 3 demo. I should have stopped when I realized it was 7 GB in size (yes, the ENTIRE game is on the demo). It finally downloads and freezes up on both the gamma selection and titles screen. IT DOESN'T WORK AT ALL!

This is the absolute worst day one experience I have ever had with a video game system. I'm sorry I ever bought the piece of shit. Hopefully, my opinion will change in the upcoming weeks, but for now, I'm VERY disappointed.

Should have just gotten a good PC. *wags finger*

So the last two days have been going pretty good. I downloaded Killer Instinct overnight along with Halo: Spartan Wars. Killer Instinct is a lot of fun I must say. I also got Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare which had an update that took forever...again Then I got a headset adapter that works really well...after I wired it to the X-Bone to update the controller. EVEN THE CONTROLLER NEEDS UPDATING! I've never seen a system where every goddamn thing needs to be updated. I will say it worked great on Titanfall. Even my weak little headphones I used for Skyping came booming in.

Well, I'm about to go to work and I checked the mail and Dead Rising 3 and Battlefield 4 have arrived. I've been waiting for Dead Rising 3, but I won't be playing to today and maybe not this weekend because it has a 16GB update.

16GB. Sixteen. Just what the fuck is on that update?!

Apparently, MS thinks everyone has ridiculously high speed internet and can just download EVERYTHING to their 500GB system. Imagine how bad it would have been if they HAD gotten their way last year.

[Shigs]

Well, I discovered an important thing today. The stupid X-Box one wants to install the update before the game instead of doing it in the background. So, I take myself out of X-Box LIVE and viola! It installs the disc first in 15 minutes and I'm able to start playing.

[RegalSin]

I do not like installs on consoles. Clearly the content they want to deliver requires a physical cassette based system.

So today, it decided it didn't want to play disc-based games, but Blu-Ray movies will work just fine. I look up troubleshooting and find out that you need to do some kind of powerloop thing every once in awhile by holding the power button on the system for ten seconds. Working fine now, but JESUS this is annoying!
