I didn't know that either, is it confirmed? I guess now that I think of it, it hasn't been a top quality picture on Netflix recently.

No, not confirmed and now it looks to be a rumour as well.
 
have they released a patch to make video streaming (netflix, xbox video etc) actually 1080p? (it was 720p at launch)
It's been running fine at launch at 1080p here for the few movies I have watched on Xbox Video. I don't have Netflix though.
 
Ki3 update rolled out today. Some bug fixes, retro costumes, and black crush fix! Game looks much better now. Seems lessjaggy also!
the only retro costume that seems to appear for me is Orchid's. How do you get the rest? Thanks :)
 
I never even realized the video playback was 720p for Netflix and such. Boy, must I have sore eyes.
 
Xbox Video is 1080p on Xbox One and Xbox 360. Netflix is 720p on Xbox 360. Not sure what Netflix is on Xbox One, but apparently it's 720p. Sad if true.
 
My OG fat white 360 died on me yesterday..yay.

How do the newest 360 version fair? Survival rate etc. Anybody care to share some exp?

Starting with the jaspers after the OG 360, the failure rate was extremely minimal. The new 360E, the one that looks like a ONE, has nearly zero failures from what I hear.

http://www.dailygame.net/videogames/microsoft/xbox-one/xbox-one-1080p-video-update-coming-soon-rumor

cant find anything else on it. by video playback i am assuming its services like netflix and Xbox Video. i wanna start renting from Xbox Video but i wanna make sure its bluray disc quality

Read the article.

It's made up crap, and has nothing to do with the video apps on Xbox One. It's just some random web sites made up article incorrectly referencing the Xbox one resolution "problems."

My Xbox 360 E is the shiznit. Looks sick next to my Xbox One. Sadly, the Xbox 360 E hasn't been turned on ONCE since I got my X1. But it's a workhorse.
 
Nice..I don't even dare to try..it'll end up disastrous for me. I once cleaned the inside of a 360 and it's fan. It worked again after that..that's the most I can manage.^^'

the worst part in the procedure was after you get the new x-clamp on, you remove/disable ALL fans then power on the system for exactly two mins with ZERO cooling. That reflows the solder and corrects the RROD issues. It worked like I said, but I hate having uncooled electronics... *shudder*

I've got Final Fantasy XI running on my 360 and i'm watching a show on Hulu on the One right now. I think it's pretty awesome how you can play games or use services on both while signed in on the same gamertag. That seamless experience. Only on Xbox.

LoL.. I really hope it's the last version of a console where so many'd have to reverse engineer / trick jumpstart their own system for it to work properly.

Is there a vid that shows the many things you can do like this?
 
Well said!

At the moment, I am still hoping there is something (between now & when I buy my next gen console) that MS can show, that make me change my mind, as I am leaning more towards PS4.
Can we please not turn this into another Xbox Ps4 thread

Moved that series of posts to the MP forum, where I'm sure it will eventually die a tragic death.
 
I called MS today to check on my status and the agent I talked to must have been in a good move and plus he saw all the troubles I have had with this case the past few weeks so he hooked me up. He gave me a choice of two games or one game and a 12 month xbl. I had a choice between Ryse, Forza, Dead Rising and Zoo Tycoon. We already have Forza and DR and I borrowed Ryse from a friend and no interest in Zoo Tycoon so I took Forza, figured I can trade the code to someone. He also sent some kind of dlc code with Forza.

Totally opposite for me was hung up on twice connected to the wrong department once. Then at the end the guy that actually tried to help me said it was above his head.
All I was calling about was dbz season 6 wouldn't download. I literally had one represitive told me I couldn't do that on my phone. I then asked to speak to someone who new what they were talking about.
Man got a snow storm coming. Electric is bound to go out. All I'm trying to do is get some videos on my phone so I can watch in the car.
I've had a really bad day all around. Something like that would if made my dad.
