**XBOX ONE** Official Thread

Well it appears to be all be working, I changed the power options to instant on, the controller now turns it on and off, and also kinect works for off and on.

Must be some quirky way to turn it on when it's set to fully off, you must have to press the console button then say xbox on, as that worked first time for me.

Ah, that is weird. Glad it's working now though!
 
I've also just turned it off fully, and held down the controller guide button and it turned on....only difference was this time kinect was in front of the TV instead of behind it.

Kinect won't be listening at all when it's fully off so saying Xbox On won't do anything, and you should still just be able to lightly touch the front button/hold the controller guide button to turn on like normal.

Sounds like XO got its knickers in twist but has sorted itself now.
 
tested mine as I turned my xbox off last night - xbox on works fine tho it doesnt sync my controller need to press the button

If you can turn it on with "xbox, on", it won't have been fully turned off I think? Pretty sure the Kinect is completely off when the system is shut down.
 
oh all the lights where off and the kinect 3 red dots where off

Yeah mine is like that too when I switch to standby. To know for sure just check the LED light on the power brick as Nismo mentioned earlier:

Also check the LED. On the power brick. Orange is fully off, white means th console is turned on or in standby (quick boot) mode.

Yeah, I think it must have.

Controller now turns it on when it's fully off anyway so obviously something was confused along the way.

Crisis averted.
 
So I went to my mates last night for a taste of the XBox One and I must say I quite liked it.

First off the thing was really quiet, the interface seemed fairly intuitive and the new controller feels soooo much better in the hands.

Forza...not my cup of tea but I can understand why others like it! Lovely graphics though which I must admit.

Dead Rising 3...loved it! Impressive amount of zombies on screen and all out hilarity, running into a horde and then slapping a Grenade in one's mouth created utter carnage! As usual though the only disappointment is the camera, always the same!

Fifa...yeah don't think I could play it on current gen anymore, pleasantly surprised by how good it looked considering they won't have spent terribly much time on improving it.

Looks like I will be picking one up, in the future, when in the states next year but was certainly worthwhile getting the chance to play.

My mates getting a PS4 next week so I'll need to sample that too :p

Mines doesnt turn on with "Xbox on" and the power option is "instant on"

The option is checked for "wake Xbox up by saying Xbox on"

Dont know how to get it working
 
Is it me or are the game cases upside down? (going by my copy of Forza 5)

When you open the case the disc is on the left and the insert on the right, you cant swap it round as the case logo would be upside down and on the back?

Think it's just the design.

They do seem pretty lightweight and are thinner than a BR case. I was a little surprised my copy of Ryse had no manual at all, just some legal rubbish on the inside of the cover.
