Dang, the updates to the X1 they keep adding are f***ing insane.
I know, right? The Xbox One just keeps on getting better and better. What's not to love?
Dang, the updates to the X1 they keep adding are f***ing insane.
Sleep with the new controller. It makes the couch and the pillows more cushiony and fluffy and stuff. Trust me.after seeing that new tight and I mean tight!! looking Advanced warfare console with a 1tb hard drive I'm seriously contemplating on selling my day one edition console to a coworker at work purchasing the new one. my wife said I will have to sleep on the couch for a week if I do that but the heck with it! It's so with it! Lol
That FIFA 15 bundle is epic. FIFA 15 for free I likely would have had my X1 before then, but with this bundle I am waiting till the September 25.
Stream tv on smart glass is f*cking crazy!Wow. What a list of beastly system updates coming soon!

We’ve been bringing tons of new features to Xbox One fans worldwide throughout the year. Thanks to the recently-launched Xbox Feedback, our fans have played a huge role in shaping these updates. In fact, we’ve received thousands of posts and more than 400,000 votes to date.
Starting in the early access program later this month, new social features making it easier for gamers to connect with their friends and new ways to access their TV and entertainment throughout their homes will be coming to Xbox One. The updates include:
As with previous updates, these may be rolling out in general availability to Xbox One owners at different stages in the coming months. We continue to be amazed by our fans’ enthusiasm for our Xbox One system updates and their fantastic input. We’re working hard to make Xbox One more social and the best place for all your games and entertainment, and we can’t wait to roll out these new features, and more, in the coming months.
- New “Friends” section – the new Friends section has been available for a few early access Preview members and we’re expanding it to everyone enrolled in the Preview program. The new Friends section enables users to see at a glance what’s going on with their friends. They can stay up-to-date with their current activities, the most popular games their friends are playing, and a Gamerscore leaderboard to see who has improved their Gamerscore over the last 30 days.
- Snap Center – Some of gamers’ favorite features in the Xbox 360 guide, are coming to Xbox One in a way that’s now truly be side-by-side with games. Messages, friends, parties, and achievements will all be available in the new Snap Center, providing a seamless way to switch back and forth without having to leave a game.
- Threaded Messages – keeping gamers in their games while they multitask has been a huge focus. The new Messages app features threaded messages with the full conversation history – including embedded links to Game DVR clips – that can be viewed without interrupting gameplay.
- Media Player – a new app will be available soon that enables users to play media files from either an attached USB device or from a network connected home media server that supports DLNA protocols. The preview version of the Media Player app will initially only support USB devices, with DLNA support coming soon. Xbox One will support more formats than Xbox 360, including support for dozens of new file formats like mpeg 2 TS, animated gifs and mkv which will be added by the end of the year. See below for additional file formats.
- Xbox One Digital TV Tuner –announced last week, this new accessory will enter a limited preview program in Europe (UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain), in advance of its retail launch beginning in October.
- Stream TV to SmartGlass – launching first in markets receiving the Xbox Digital TV Tuner, Xbox One owners will be able to stream their TV across their home network to their smartphones and tablets using the Xbox SmartGlass app. They can also pause, play and rewind as well as change channels, without interrupting gameplay on the Xbox One. This will work for SmartGlass apps on Windows, iOS, and Android.
- Boot to TV – Now Xbox One owners will be able to set their console to boot directly to television when coming out of connected standby.
- Live TV mini guide – for markets where OneGuide is available, a new mini guide on the bottom of the screen will display details about the TV content that is currently playing. Users can quickly change channels and see what’s on other channels, while still watching TV.
- Country Expansion – we’re doing a lot of work on the backend to prepare for Xbox One to launch in 29 new markets
in the coming weeks.
Later today, my gamescom co-host Acey Bongos, and one of the lead engineers on Xbox, Ashley Speicher, are demoing the new features. Stay tuned and we’ll post that demo a little later.

And finally digital prepurchasing/downloading coming in September... things are coming along smoothly.
Only on selected titles though. Which to be frank, is not good enough. Nice to see it finally materializing, but this needs to be on all games A.S.A.P.

Which friends section? The dashboard part of it?So I'm now part of the preview and I finally got my update last night, but I don't see the new friends section at all. Where is it? I looked under settings and it says there are no available updates so I think I have the latest one...
Yeah the new thing that is on the dashboard. And I thought anyone who is in the OS preview should see it?Which friends section? The dashboard part of it?
The one on the dashboard is in limited testing right now, so not everyone has it. Every one should get it soon though.
Only some people in the preview get it.Yeah the new thing that is on the dashboard. And I thought anyone who is in the OS preview should see it?
http://majornelson.com/2014/07/18/next-xbox-one-update/We’re doing an extended preview on this, rolling it into the early access preview this month to a subset of our preview audience so we can refine it until it’s ready for the entire Xbox One market.
They edited in a video to that post:
Shows off following games, new messaging system and snap centre.
Or not snap at all and have a pop up window in the corner or something.One thing that really annoys me is that if I receive a message and say "xbox read message" it takes away control from game and puts it on snap why? If I'm in multiplayer and open party while in game it stops controlling the game why? Especially with snap sometimes taking longer to load.
Since they want multitasking why not let me controll the game with controller and snapped app with voice?
I dunno if this has been answered before by anyone at Microsoft, but are we going to be able to pre-order games from the Xbox Store? I have bought all of my games digital on Xbox One and would like to get the benefits of pre-ordering AW but currently I don't see an option on the Store page to pre-order.
Nice, did they mention which games or is that info still to come?Was said at gamescom that selected games will be available for pre-purchase(pre-order) and Pre-download starting this September.
Nice, did they mention which games or is that info still to come?
Yeah that's all they mentioned, but said more to come.I only remember FIFA 15 and Horizon 2 being stated.
Ah, I'll be getting both of those also so that is cool. I hope they can add AW to the list.
