Do you have to add people to your favourite's to enable to friend online popup?

 

[jpm]

I think so, the notification that popped up was one of my favourites.

There is a new update for the controller in the latest beta release.

Same but I wasn't on long to see if any others popped up

 

[Soulja]

Go to preferences and you can set the notifications to no one, favourites only or all friends.

Get someone who's in it to post on the preview forums requesting your admission.

anyone else get 7 free days of XBL?

Got a message from MS saying as I couldn't access XBL on the 14tg march, they are giving me 7 days! I don't recall, but not complaining!

Nope a couple of people on my friends list have had the message though.

Yes, ironically the service went down again a couple of hours after they sent me that message.

Looks like we'll be able to upload directly to youtube soon.

The youtube app has just had achievements added, one of the achievements is "upload a video from your Xbox One"

Does this actually work? I thought it didn't anymore?

IM not sure if it was posted but it looks like Plex is coming to XO some time.

 

[Broken Hope]

Looks like Apps being locked behind Live gold might be changing.

Wow, so many decent things sound like they are coming.

I've said it before but MS playing catchup is the best MS to have.

 

[Broken Hope]

To be fair most of the execs behind the XB1 launch and reveal have left the company, Phil Spencer being in charge will be a good thing

 

[cu3ed]

The overall leadership in MS for its decisions seems a lot more current and have shared ideals.

 

[ps3ud0]

I dont share the enthusiasm for Phil Spencer, he was very much a key individual in the XOs conception and as head of MGS output he was primarily responsible for the reduction of the breadth/depth of firsty party titles over the last few years.

He does seem the lesser of evils looking who else could have been in for the running, is he much better than Don Mattrick outside of his better engagement with their prospective customers is debatable...

Whatever happens MSs E3 is gonna be one to watch

Anyone playing PvZ: Garden Warfare? Quite enjoying it, surprised at how well they've adapted it from the original gameplay style to an FPS. The rush type game mode is great fun too.
