I had my message for the beta almost instantly but then I have spent well over £500 in the online store on games since April. The only reason I can think of as to why I got mine so fast was that they were looking for someone with a lot of digital games to test the updates with. The thing is though that due to a disability I have at the moment, I have only really been playing Peggle 2. I am hoping to buy Destiny today and give that a go to see what i'm like on it but the PVP side of it will be difficult for me.
D4 episode 1 was released yesterday. They never told anyone? Unless I missed something? We got some information at E3 2013, and then all info seemed to stop and then it was ninja released this morning?!
Something that needs changing, if you're on the dashboard and click messages, it snaps and launches the last program you were running, even if you have quit that program. It should just snap and leave the dashboard to the left, not launch something you've finished using.

It does that when you open *any* snappable app from the Home tab (e.g. Achievements) - it defaults to snap mode for it, with the last game/app opened in the main section, rather than opening the app you want full screen.
It also does it from the Notificiations, e.g. if you click on a notification for an Achievement, instead of opening the Achievement app in full screen with details of that particular Achievement, it will open it snapped and have the game in the main section.
It *really* pisses me off!
I want full screen to be default, not snap.
I may actually submit a request about it at Xbox Feedback.
I've finally started RYSE & it's impressed me more graphically then any PS4 title I've played so far! 😳 ... I'm gonna stick with the X1 for the foreseeable future for my gaming fix! 😊 ... I've also got DeadRising3 to keep me going til forza2 & evil-within! 😎
(The X1 just gets better & better the more I use it!!!!) 👍

The one I understand where you can play music/movies from a USB stick...
Well the first time I tried it, it didn't work. I couldn't play any of the MKV files that I had (and MKV was defo mentioned on the officially supported formats list).
The Chinese launch - which was tomorrow - has been cancelled and has been postponed until the end of the year. Low preorder numbers, perhaps? Seems odd to cancel at such short notice.

Probably something to do with the Chinese government not happy about something.

Anyone else had similar problems?
MKV was mentioned but not available at launch. I remember the press release saying it will be available by the end of the year.
Yeah external is better as the main HDD I found also, not tried with a USB stick but MKV support works as expected via DLNA, shame it's not snappable atm but undoubtedly will be in the future when it becomes official. It would also be very nice if we could stream custom soundtracks like the 360 without having the media player on-screen, and it probably won't happen but automatic pause/resume for cutscenes and suchlike would be ideal but I think that might be too complicated and is something that needed to be built into the OS from day one like 360.
Aside from the media player update I really like the look of the new friends section (it's all becoming a little more like the 360) and the monthly leaderboard, I find double tapping the guide button a little awkward lol, even though it sounds like the most simple thing very often I get it wrong. This is where Kinect does the job better imo but I do like the extra shortcut options, similar again to the much requested "Guide menu".
Part of me thinks the monthly achievement leaderboard is a sneaky way of trying to get more money out of us.
Don't know what happened to that but my 'last 30 days' went from 1200 to 15 overnight. Even though in the last 2 weeks I've added over 200-Gs on Destiny alone?

yeah,first i knew about being in it,was a system message on the dashboard from Microsoft

I will do that mate, everyone on here should do as well. Baffles me how they've managed to leave it like that.

isnt the Chinese Government not happy about everything ever,lol

Just curious
I made the external drive the main one as the games read and load quicker from there for me.

Ditto.

But aren't all these ideas from the users themselves? MS seem very hungry for user feedback with the X1
