hi

does the Xbox one now play 3D blurays?

I put off buying one because of this, but if its now the case I might be parting with some money

The August update will enable the playback of 3D Blu Rays

Due anytime now

Apparently EA Access out of beta and released, anyone seeing the hub app on the game store?

so 3D playback is not specific to laser hardware?
or was it always capable , but they just didn't feel ready to enable?

basically, is this just a work around for 3D playback, or will it be the genuine article, like on a standalone bluray player

just curious

I was going to give it a few months but I wouldn't mind getting into Fifa and I guess some people still play battlefield 4 at the moment.

There's no hardware difference. The PS3 was updated to support 3D BDs, after all.

Unless I've lost the plot entirely the update is out already because I successfully played Hugo 3d the other night whereas I definitely couldn't previously. I had been trying to establish whether or not the update had been released vs my currently reported version and then thought 'sod it' and stuck the disk in...and it worked! Strange but true :S

 

[RobotXander]

Nice one

Prob downloaded and applied it in the background if you leave your Xbone on standby

Looks like we're some decent media player improvements (DNLA support) Nearly caught up with the PS3 & 360 now

I better free up some time for the last 3 months of the year With some amazing games launching in October, like sunset overdrive and Shadow of Mordor and all these new media players updates, I will be pretty busy

 

[Broken Hope]

Lets see if Sony follows suit like they did with 3D Blu-ray.

 

[cu3ed]

GOAT SIMULATOR!....YES!

Im I reading it right that Smartglass is kinda going to be able to stream anything via the HDMI on the XO, cause thats pretty damn amazing.

 

[pioneer2000]

Somewhat irrationally angry if they add mkv support as I'm someone that's spent donkeys converting everything to m4v for my apple tv... lol.

Kinect is still black with it, honestly I would have bought a White kinetic and white cable, everything in my room is decorated white!

Have to say with these updates and the stuff shown at gamescom I'm pretty impressed. The stream from XO could be awesome if that's right, anyone know of the August update is out yet?
