I find the "Xbox on" command hit and miss and don't see many kinect games around

I use it constantly in forza for the sat nah! Wouldn't be the same game without it for me.

My xbox still keeps freezing when loading games or in the main menu, tried holding the power button and rebooting multiple times, it might work the 3rd/4th time if it feels like it. Not sure what I can try apart from a factory reset Anyone else had freezing issues?

Yep. Had the same problem. Turned off Instant On in Feb and that seemed to fix it for me.

EDIT: I'm very tempted to buy the Kinect so anybody looking to sell... I'm West London based.

I'd rather have the Xbone just finish its downloading and then switch off completely. Much like the 360 did. It makes too much noise to leave it in Instant On mode.

Too much noise?

Mine has been on 24/7 since I got it and it's silent.

Yeah, man. I have mine in the bedroom and the power supply fan is just loud enough to be annoying when you're trying to get to sleep.

This. Never hear mine although i started up the GWG Child of Light and the fans went crazy!

 

[Raymond Lin]

Free Child of Light! Woot!

 

[adey]

Free Child of Light! Woot!

Just played an hour of this and was very pleasantly surprised!

Me, too. Although I keep thinking it's about to end at any moment. Games like these always end too quickly. How many hours is it supposed to last?

 

[Raymond Lin]

I think about 8?

 

[ic1male]

I think about 8?

Oh, that's all right then. Plenty to go yet.

Think MS was feeling left out with the Zelda and Uncharted 4 delays so they decided to delay Quantum Break just keep in with the Crowd ( may not really be the reason) http://remedygames.com/quantum-break-set-to-launch-in-2016/

Today, Microsoft Studios announced that the highly-anticipated action-adventure Quantum Break will launch in 2016.

“With so many Xbox One games launching this year, moving Quantum Break to 2016 extends our incredible portfolio into next year with a monster new IP,” said Shannon Loftis, Head of Publishing at Microsoft Studios.

Quantum Break is created by Remedy Entertainment, the critically-acclaimed studio behind Max Payne and Alan Wake. Featuring Remedy’s highly acclaimed storytelling, Quantum Break fuses an intense action game with top-of-the-line live action elements into one revolutionary entertainment adventure.

“We’re really proud to be part of the incredible Xbox One line-up,” said Sam Lake, Creative Director at Remedy. “We thank our fans for their patience, and want them to know that the team is taking advantage of this opportunity to polish and fine tune the game to create the kind of standout entertainment experience they’ve come to expect from us.”

Remedy never ever hit their launch dates anyway - actually was expected by most already
