Cool thanks, thats very handy. Games will probably load slower though?

I'm using a Samsung 840 EVO and have found load times can be reduced a fair chunk.

For example Forza Horizon 2 it used to take 23 seconds to fast travel from one end of the map to the other, now with it installed to SSD it only takes 4 seconds.

BF4 I get in game about 5 seconds before everyone else (gives me time to get first dibs on vehicles )

Other games you may not see a difference at all, it depends on how the game is coded, its always either the same or faster though.

Apparently another update to speed up the Home-screen or something?

Anything interesting out this week ?

I'm picking up the retail release of Walking Dead Season 2. Has a much bigger draw to me than a lot of the so called bigger titles.

What about Season 1?

Girlfriend wants the Shape up "game" so I'm thinking I might get her an X1 and that for Christmas. Is there anymore fitness games on the horizon for the console?

There is XBox Fitness, which is meant to be excellent. Not a game but more like fitness workouts with world famous trainers.

 

[RedStarRiot]

As long as there are more to get really. £380 odd is a little steep for a aerobics fix!

 

[Mr Men]

Don't get her one then

 

[RedStarRiot]

Takes up less room that a cross trainer and slightly more entertaining!

 

[Kobi]

It's not that I'm excited or anything...But emm...

3 MORE DAYS! 3 MORE DAYS! 3 MORE DAYS!

What about Season 1?

Played through it on the 360, I'd liked to have continued the story line over from the first season but I can't imagine it makes that much difference.

 

[Dyson]

Quite shocked, game arrived the same day as the console!!!

 

[Nikumba]

Any recommendations for a decent headset?

Now you go to rule two that one of them wont work right, sorry about that.

Have Microsoft fixed the install times on the XB1 or does it still take 5+ minutes to install a game before you can play?

Use to waiting less than a minute on the PS4.

Considering an XB1 for Sunset..

 

[rdb2012]

Is £235 a good deal for brand new X1(without Kinect)?

It varies by game, I should imagine. Destiny was ready within a minute, for example.

 

[Murray]

5+ minutes is generous.

Destiny was ready to START within a minute and then it made you wait on another screen for it to install the full thing which takes like 30 minutes.

 

[peahead]

Apparently they are working on reducing install times amongst other things

If i remember correctly they did something like this for the 360.

the last update was excellent incorperating the media player which is very good

just a word of warning though when your signed in watching something it broadcasts it on your profile fully

so if your watching a special film eh cough cough with your lady friend then might be best to sign out first lol
