How's everyone else linking up for Remote play in the preview programme? I don't really have the use for a laptop or another tablet (have my desktop PC and iPad) but quite keen to pick up a cheap laptop or even tablet (cheap because I'll literally just use for remote play). Any recommendations?

That is just greedy now
I'll be annoyed if one pops up on the MM and he beats me to it.
I'm crossing my fingers for a prime deal
You can cancel the download from your console. They will always be available for download later

I picked up a Xbox one yesterday and so far I'm pleased and impressed with it!
As for the UI, it seems a little unstructured and lacking tho. Like Xbox live games, there are no category's or generally easy browsing, I just get a list of games to sprawl through. And they've removed a section for demos, instead you have to search for them, and unless I'm mistaken there's only half a dozen on there!?
Not sure I've fully got the hang on the snapping yet, is it just a gimmick, or do you find it useful? Can you adjust the size of each screen?
I do love the streaming option to Windows 10, that works much better than I'd expected!
Not fused over putting my rubbish freesat box through the hdmi in, it doesn't work at the best of times. So I've just hooked up the chromecast through it at the moment. With the purchasable TV stick you can get, do you get freebies channels with this?
Overall, it's good, and I think will just take some adjusting from 8-9 years of having a 360. Although, I certainly want to hear about any UI changes coming and expansion to it!

I agree the store structure could be better. There is a section for demos however, if you scroll to the bottom of the store.
I haven't bothered with the HDMI pass-through for my Sky.
Thought I would grab gears 3 (360) seeing as its on GwG from the xbox.com website for when BC becomes a reality outside of the preview prog and found that I need to link a credit card to purchase a 360 game, much jokes
Just buy the game on disc...when it comes to BC itll download anyway.
It's free. Microsoft are being arsey when it comes to 360 purchases. I don't want to add my billing details as I always use prepaid cards these days so I can't get any of the 360 games because I gave my console away.
Except then you'll need to have the game disc to play, at all times.
Just downloaded it for when the BC comes out
Yea but how cheap is it to buy on disc right now?
