I sold my xbone last month but see they are bringing out a white one... Do want!

 

[Mr Men]

Have asked a few times on here to get an invite to the preview programme, anyone able to help me out please?

I added you and sent you an invite, no idea if you get it right away or not.

 

[tribz]

I'd be very grateful if there was an invite available

I am on my second xbox one due to a really annoying HDD like buzzing sound at the Dashboard that would disappear when playing games - well I was really happy that the October update fixed this issue!

What 2.1 speaker options are available for the Xbox One.

I currently have my Xbox to the TV via HDMI then some 2.1 Creative speakers plugged into the TV via 3.5mm audio jack.

The audio is really distorted from the Xbox.

Does anyone else experience this?

Turns out it was a dodgy HDMI port on my TV. I changed it to the side HDMI port and it's fine.

You think we will see the White controller for sale soon on its won?

I busted my left trigger rumbler, it works but want a full working one again, and the White looks pretty nice.

The fan in the power block shouldnt be running when in standby I dont think!

I know, but mine does, and I know I am not alone... only thing for me is to turn off "instant on", or send it back to MS (but that will take 3 weeks ).

 

[cu3ed]

Myabe it is, I was taking a listen and mine still "whirs", is it to do with the instant on option?

Think my Xbox is going to have to go back. Has switched itself off three times in the past two days because of what I'm assuming is overheating although I don't get the message stating that is the reason when I switch it on again. Its sat on my pc desk and the brick is in an open space on the floor too. It felt quite warm when I checked but not baking hot or anything.

I suppose on the bright side its happened now and not after 12 months warrany has run out.. don't fancy re downloading all my games again though. My hard drive was 75% full.

If you've got an external hdd is fairly painless setting it up and transferring your games to it

Hmm that never crossed my mind for some reason!

 

[Raymond Lin]

Which External HDD are you guys using?

 

[MOOGLEYS]

I'm using the drive out my PS4 with a cheap USB 3 caddy it works perfect. Any USB 3 drive bigger than 250gb should work fine.

Yes.

Would the console benefit from an external SSD over an HDD?

Yes and no depends how much you want to spend... Have a read of this..
