MS really does have the worst PR ever... Why can't they just say stuff like this in the first place?

[B-Mac]

Either way unless you're forking out £2,000 for batteries you need to plug it in at times

PS3 isn't a hastle at all. Battery life is long enough, soon as it gives you a 30 minute warning you plug the cable in lol

Done.

ya but then your no longer wireless.....i'm always wireless lol and rechargeable batteries my friend....i got 4 batteries and they all i need lol one set in one set charging it's a woping $15 for these

Plus ps3 wirelss headsets >>> evil wire into pad system.

not a fan of those wireless clip on headsets tbh

PS4 has the wire into controller headset now too

Ryse looks amazing graphically, probably the best I've ever seen on a console

Reports about Xbox Ones failing to do the start-up update already hitting the web. Kink number one.

Can't use it without the update also.

Beat me to it. Yeah, I'd rather drop $15 on some rechargeable batteries and a charger and never have to worry about being restricted by a cord or charging time. Crazy that even with the batteries the controller is still so light. Shape is good though on the Xbox1, but I'm really liking the new PS4 remote.

[Lex]

so

It makes the controller less agile imo.

I can see how that would be a problem if it were a Pokemon

Argos are playing it safe and only stocking pre-ordered X-Boxes to avoid riots

[Guest]

Are we still shocked that new systems are going to have issues when shipping out their first orders? This is nothing new and is a trend that will continue anytime a new system is released. I'm not techy enough to explain why, however there is enough evidence in the past...

[B-Mac]

they took my money

[Lex]

Should do your laundry first, brah

[B-Mac]

Should do your laundry first, brah

clothes are overrated

[danyjr]

I'm loving the controller so far.

[FalcaoPunch]

Take a picture of it after it's all setup!
Is it as big as my first VCR

[danyjr]

Any demos on Marketplace? I've grown tired of playing FIFA constantly

[nichabr]

These problems are making me wonder if Microsoft even care at all...do they test their systems before shipping them out or do they just send them out without a care in the world.

People saying their system is making grinding noises and isn't reading games....some getting error messages after the initial update and some can't even get their systems to start.

I hope they resolve this.

[FalcaoPunch]

Problems were to be expected with both ps4 and bone at launch though.

Anyone else still find it odd that the xbox one still has a a huge power brick?

[B-Mac]

mine works fine...there are always a few lemons on launch.....PS4 having there issues too let's not go saying Microsoft doesn't care when there is issues from both consoles.

and who cares about the power brick it is much smaller then the 360's anyways and you set up your Xbox One when you first get it then forget about it, people just love to nitpick

[Guest]

Preach brother B-Mac. How is the baby treating you? Once I get my Xbox 360 sold I will be making my move to pick up the One

Nitpick? Yeah you're right.
But come on it's almost 2014 lol it's a hassle to have a block just chilling there.

How exactly is it a hassle?

[FalcaoPunch]

Having a rectangle block that's isn't small by any means. Getting it setup in lets say my basement where I have most of my entertainment equipment would consist of me shifting to find room to place a block.


Where with everything else it's just a cable. It's like when you have a surge protector and the ac adapter is like a square so when you plug it in it takes like two spots== hassle

[nichabr]

Its a hassle that I never remember taking it home with my system whenever I move around with it....it's just out of place.

[RealGunner]

Consoles will always be faulty at Launch. That's why they recommend you to get it after few months.

That's the thing its normally small kinks but their are actually more than a few Hardware problems this time...I mean I plan on getting mine next year end of January but this is discouraging...very discouraging for me.

[danyjr]

Mine hasn't developed a single problem, touch wood.

Having said that, some of the OS features from Xbox 360 are missing from Xbox One - for the time being at least. Such as viewing the last people you played with (very useful on FIFA when some pressure abuser rage quits ) or finding demos and such as games are not categorised properly on Xbox Store yet.

But the OS itself is so much faster than Xbox 360 that you don't want to switch on your old console again. And it looks slick too.
