samjp26 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 The new update is pretty awesome!Can now hook my Sky box up to it, say "Xbox watch Champions League Highlights" and it changes to Sky Sports 1. Awesome! Also they are adding a feature to upload directly to Youtube tomorrow which will be pretty cool. Also get a notification when your friends sign in lol. Fair play to MS, they're not messing about. Oh snap the Sky stuff works now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Just saw that the update is only for the preview community at the minute, bummer. That said, a Plex app as well! Proper stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted April 11, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted April 11, 2014 Yeah, well it works with VU boxes Yet another price drop. Xbox One & Titanfall £349.00 http://m.direct.asda.com/Xbox_One_Titanfall/003736104,default,pd.html If only it was this price at launch.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted April 11, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted April 11, 2014 I don't think price drops are going to help them much, especially when they're only matching the oppositions price. What they need is games, and lots of them, exclusively. Every game that is multiplatform will look better on the PS4, so all the casuals/people like me who don't have an allegiance will just buy everything on the PS4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titanfall and Halo are pretty good exclusives. But I'm sure PS4 have some too (though for me i'm not really into the "Last Of Us" type games, more of an FPS player myself). FWIW I did see BF4 on the PS4 a couple of weeks ago at a mates, and whilst it does look better, it's marginal at best. I don't think the gap between the two is that big tbh, but maybe I need my eyes tested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted April 17, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) Maybe the hardware isn't too bad after all.... wishful thinking? Maybe. But DX12 should certainly give the XBONE a big boost. Considering DX is written by MS and MS designed the Xbox, you'd imagine it would be optimised for it. I don't for one second expect it to double in performance, We'll see I guess. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0trrEQzWE4 Edited April 17, 2014 by PieFacE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbs Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Brought my son one of these yesterday from Game. Good deal on at the time - play a 4 min demo of Forsa and get £50 off the console. Needless to say he did it and was well chuffed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 Overclockers were earlier today selling the FIFA14 bundle for £329.99, sold out now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted April 25, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted April 25, 2014 Crazy how cheap these have become. £100 price drop in 6 months. It took them 6months to get the OS working correctly. Early buyers just paid to be BETA testers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Great, knock another 80 off for a kinectless bundle and they'll sell much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted April 25, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted April 25, 2014 £320 with a game and kinect is pretty damn good to be fair. They wont be releasing a £260 next-gen console without kinect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted May 13, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted May 13, 2014 Xbox One without Kinect revealed I'd feel completely cheesed off if I bought with bundled with Kinect, as they said the whole system was based around it. They still need to lower the price as it's still a much weaker system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samjp26 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Can't believe how fast the prices are dropping. Games with Gold is coming to XONE next month as well, Max Curse of the Brotherhood and Halo Spartan Assault will be the free games. Oh and an update on what I thought to be good customer service, I didn't receive my headset replacement so I contacted Xbox. It was told that it was because I hadn't sent off my broken one, which I wasn't actually told to do. After enquiring further, turns out I have to send my broken headset by recorded delivery... to Czech Republic. The woman I was speaking to sent me a link to FedEx, which gave a quote of £45, so the price of two brand new headsets basically. I assumed I was under warranty, but evidently this seems to be some sort of get around to prevent people from getting replacement accessories, who in their right mind is going to pay so much postage to send stuff to Czech?
