Has anyone considered or has already sold their xbox as a lot of the exclusives will be playable on PC?

I haven't played my Xbone in a while and already have a PS4. Now they will be making a lot of games cross play is there much of a reason to keep my xbone?

If it's a cross play game can you play against people on Xbone? I assuming if you can you are forced to use an official controller (which is the way it should be)?

Not sure I would sell my Xbox but I have been really leaning towards skipping the Scorpio and investing in my PC (maybe VR).

Has anyone replaced the optical drive in their Xbox One? Mine is doing the apparently fairly common thing whereby it won't read a disc unless you "hold" it for a second as it pulls the disc in. If I do this, I have no problems.

I've read about changing the drives and the fact that you have to swap over the controller board from your existing drive, but I want to know how actually feasible it is that it'll work afterwards.

Check out this list of Cross Buy, Cross Play and Cross Save https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_Live_games_on_Windows_10

Interesting that RE7 on that list as a non-MS published game being available for all three. I wonder if others will follow suit on the bigger releases.

Personally I don't have a PC so I have no intention of ditching my Xbox One.

I wouldn't imagine you'd be forced to use a controller but I could be wrong!

I have a fairly decent PC so it could play all the current games. It's more about what the future of Live Games on Windows looks like. If all their exclusives will be available on PC then I don't really see any need for an Xbone.

From that list I'm pretty sure that's the way it is going. If you have a PC already then there is little point in owning an Xbox One for future MS exclusives.

Off to a LAN soon and fancy taking my XBO with me but long since thrown the box out. Anyone seen or got any nice travel bags?

Kodi coming soon to Xbone/Win 10 as a UWP.

That's just made the Xbox One the ultimate media centre - 4K + HDR + BR + Amazon + Netflix and now Kodi

Fixed

Mind you the new NVidia Shield might prove good competition?!

Good luck to all the people installing this for free *cough* illegal IP TV. Pretty sure there will be a rule written into the Xbox Live EULA that you cannot stream illegal material over their network.

Nice way to earn yourself a tidy ban.

Always forgetting the "S" lol

I also have the original Shield TV so personally I'm sorted

although if you have neither I think the Xbox One S is better value with it having a BR player, more powerful and then there's the games. However the Shield TV shines with emulation

Today, at Microsoft's Windows Developer Day event for the Creators Update, the company announced that the developers of Kodi have been so pleased with the Windows Store that they will be converting it to a full UWP app. This means that it will once again be available on Xbox, or more specifically, the Xbox One.

can't see it including all features, same with running nintendo games on xbox one, app came out then removed it a few weeks later but another method now works instead

Very much doubt that, with MS adding playback for the like of MKV files very early on, MS know exactly who this is for.

wow, "pleased" & "Windows Store" in the same sentence.

beachBOYken · 10 Feb 2017 at 14:29

Just got myself a soundbar, am I looking in the wrong place or is it not possible to use HDMI CEC with the xbox one?

On my PS4 I turn it on and it switches TV/Soundbar on as well.

Thanks

Plainsong · 10 Feb 2017 at 14:43

Look up IR blaster cable.

My PS4 does the same as yours but the Xbox works differently if you don't have Kinect (I think).

Yeah Kinect has an IR Blaster which does it.

Xbox one S has it built into the console
