If it's anything like the Xbox 360 betas, don't do it. I signed up to them and usually ended up regretting it, although that was largely down to having to download updates every other time I turned the console on (presumably not necessary now). They don't pay attention to your feedback either unless it's some huge issue, I complained various times about some quite obvious audio interference that occurs on the dashboard and it was never acknowledged.

Well it seems I won't be able to party up with people who don't have the update so I think I may give it a miss. Though it would be nice to not hear gays like Wyrdo and Phil
I signed up to every single Xbox 360 advanced preview going, got on them all and never had a single issue with any of them and can't say I noticed it updating a lot. I would sign up to one on the new Xbox in a heartbeat.
Pretty nice looking thing! Although £75 is a bit steep for me! Just paid £45 for one new boring regular black one with a charge and play pack.
Sounds like it, I'm sure half of it would be there at release if they had longer. I always got the feeling they rushed the date to get it to market and sacrificed a lot of the UI features.
The most recent one was the worst, really. Forcing people who'd signed up to the beta over to local currency early, then over-charging them (with the promise of a refund at a later date) whilst being unable to buy anything via the Xbox website was a fairly substantial issue, I'd say. Quite a lot of updates for that one, too.

They're £75!! Bloody hell, I could pick one up here for under $75 CAD. I'm moving back in a month, I don't even have an Xbox One here but I might buy one and bring it back with me.
Then again I don't actually plan on getting Titanfall, but the controller is nice.
Are games region free?
EDIT: Just checked and it's £54.99 at GAME - http://www.game.co.uk/en/xbox-one-titanfall-wireless-controller-only-at-game-282116
Yeah they are retail price of £54.99 but they have been sold out for a while (or u get a month later), so the shops that do have them are selling at a premium. That was fine me as I wanted a working controller
Did a search and couldn't find this mentioned in here so thought it might be of interest.
The stereo headset adaptor which will enable those of you with Astro & Turtle beach headsets etc.. to work with xbox one is due out next month

The controller is rated 18?
haha yeah didn't notice that.

I got a 360 wired controller from Asda a couple of weeks ago and the til said the guy needed to verify my age. Worlds gonemad!
I have experienced no actual bugs or issues, the ONLY remaining thing I have is still with Party chat, and having to restart the machine to get the mic working in a private chat.Everything actually works fine, and the new March update should sort a few things out again.
(Edit - though this was the bf4 thread..read in context 
)
Been very good past month or so for me.
Maybe 1/10 games I get some rubber banding, same again I sometimes get an issue where once a round is finished, the next map wont load up (cue restart of bf4)
Other than that, no major problems.
