The excitement hasn't really hit me until a couple of days ago. Now all I have been doing is researching games and features. Give me the xone already! I still don't know what games I'm getting on day one though!
Went to the article on ign this morning talking about this and it had over 21,000 comments! A lot of it was ha ha look who's laughing now stuff. There's something to be said for Karma.
Save your laugh until XBOX one ship at least. Ido not think teher will be overheating issue, but I will keep mum until then.Yeah I saw it; 'He who laughs last laughs best'
For all the poor decisions that MS is accused of, at least they did one thing right, in overheating solution, by making a massive console, with a massive fan, & the power brick as an external unit.
it cant overheat ive mentioned this 3 times this week. it will warn you its getting hot at a certain temp. it will shut off if that goes up too high. ontop of that the fan can go faster as it gets hotter to help.....Save your laugh until XBOX one ship at least.

I meant to say, I do not think it will overheat, but there may be other issues. So better keep our fingers cross, & save your joy & laughter until then.it cant overheat ive mentioned this 3 times this week. it will warn you its getting hot at a certain temp. it will shut off if that goes up too high. ontop of that the fan can go faster as it gets hotter to help.....

The european press giving insight on XBOX ONE consoles:
"The Xbox One is released in the US on November 22, the same day as the UK, and most press, including us, already have their consoles. At the moment though there are no reports of any issues."
well....with all the fanboy talk

Even so...your tv will interlace the progressive signal still. Why would a console output it? Pretty sure outputting 1080i is the same strain as 1080p on a GPU. I think because it alternates so fast there is no benefit to it.I have my 65" RPTV in the living room that disagrees. It's 10 years old now, of course, but it still puts out a quality picture even though it only has 1080i and 480 i/p options.
In an age where anyone can become a celebrity on the internet for the stupidest of things (like Target shipping an xbox), it's not surprising that a few console failures would turn into a huge deal. There really is nothing to see here. This kind of thing has happened since the beginning of electronics and will always happen. it's just that now people bleat about it like spoiled sheep, and everyone else blows its importance up way beyond all proportion. Because hey, "it's a story!" No it's not.I thought about the same thing also but we'll never really know just how big of an issue it is, on the flip side, people with issues are always the ones to make the most noise if you know what I mean?
Generally a happy customer is a quiet one.
No way Xbox One gets a 7.5. No way--8 and up, minimum.
8 is definitely a minimum for the console itself. The only thing, I would think, they can really knock it for is price and power.

fantastic, thanks, im at work but ill watch it tonight or tomorrow
He was playing on a beta unit, overall the writer was impressed. Whats the problem?this http://www.theverge.com/2013/11/8/5080874/exclusive-video-xbox-one-dashboard-hands-on-first-look
is why i don't think it will get above 8. kinect 1 annoyed me so much when having to repeat myself that i gave up on voice controls on the dash and it looks like i may well suffer the same problem with kinect 2.0.

Now if they start hitting something like a 5-10% failure rate (actual failure rate, not ratio of people you hear about versus people you don't hear about on Twitter), then it's a story. But that's really not very likely.
On start-up, the hardware is exceptionally quiet, but as you progress into gameplay, volume and heat does start to increase. PS4 also draws a fair amount of juice too - 80W at idle on the front-end menus (the "PlayStation Dynamic Menu" to give it its proper name), 95W based on in-game video playback, and around 110-120W during gameplay - that's about 10-20W more than the first release of the "Slim" PlayStation 3. Curiously though, bringing up the menu system while in-game sees another leap in power draw - up to the maximum of 140W.
The figures sound meaty but the reality is that PlayStation 4 remains fairly discreet throughout general gaming - easily quieter than a launch PS3 overall, but not quite as unobtrusive as the latest PS3 Super Slim model (when its Blu-ray drive is inactive, at least). Only when you run a game and then move to the menus does the system start to kick out some serious heat. We measured 50-degrees Celsius venting from the rear (better out than in, we say) with the casing itself heating up to 45 degrees - that's approaching launch PS3 territory.
Tested in a level, 23 degrees Celsius environment, the PlayStation 4 proved to be absolutely fine, with perfectly acceptable noise when playing just 1m away from the console and a very quiet experience indeed with the console 3m away. Our only concern is how things may stack up for those living in hot countries where the ambient temperature will be a lot higher, or how the hardware will perform in the summer months. Certainly, the notion of a game running simultaneously with the UI causing a surge in power consumption is very strange indeed and hopefully something that can be addressed with a firmware update.
oh i get your dilemma. The same issue with people with 1080i tvs with the launch PS3 scaler. I'm pretty sure both PS4 and Xbox One will be able to deliver an interlaced signal as both have good scalers.No, it specifically won't. I can flip my DirecTV receiver to output in 720p or 1080p and as soon as I do that, the TV tries and then just gives a whole lot of screen garbage. Now, to be fair, this was all over component rather than through the DVI in so maybe that would handle it differently, but I'm not entirely sure that it matters much at this point.
you never watched the vid or read my text if you fail to understand what my problem with xbox one could be.He was playing on a beta unit, overall the writer was impressed. Whats the problem?
