I can't believe they're not selling those. I would've bought it day one.

Microsoft's Xbox Is on Its Last Life
http://www.bloombergview.com/article...ife?cmpid=yhoo
He spouts incorrect information in the 2nd paragraph. It is not being outsold 2:1 in the US. Hell, it's not even 2:1 worldwide and that's with Sony having launched in a lot more countries. Sony announced 6 million worldwide sales just a few days ago. Microsoft hasn't updated their numbers to my knowledge since early this year to say they sold 3.2 million consoles in 2013 alone.
Unless they've sold 0 consoles since then, it's not 2:1. Considering the Xbox One is selling by far best in the US, it's safe to say it's also not even close to getting outsold 2:1 in the US.
Typical click bait doom and gloom article.
Where did I say I agreed with anything in the article? I missed it. It's just some guy's take on the XB1 so I copied/pasted verbatim the article's headline with a link to the full article.Quote:

Headset question:
Bear with me, as I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but merely would like some feedback.
I want a headset in order to play games, movies, and streaming shows at night without disturbing the family. I don't play MP much, but will with Titanfall of course. So I'm thinking about one of the new Xbox One headsets, so they run off the controller which means it has be active for any of those activities. Not a big deal. Obviously I'd have chat functionality with those.
My other option would be to get the XB1 headset adapter, and I could listen to audio on any of those activities with headphones of my choosing but would not have chat functionality or control.
Other option would be a separate wireless headset that runs through my receiver, independent of the controller. But have to deal with recharging it and obviously no chat functionality either.
I have that right, correct?
Glad it's back to Xbox discussion.
Yeah, that's about it. Any wired headset that you plug into the adapter will get audio through the controller. If it has a mic, you'll also *PROBABLY* get voice capabilities. There are some headsets that don't work that way, though.Quote:

My setup (when I find an adapter) is going to be like that. I have the Astro A40s, so right now I have an optical cable going from my mixamp to my Xbox One. It's a wired headset, so then I have a cable connecting my Astros to the mixamp for game audio. When I get the adapter, I'll just have to run a separate cable from my mixamp to the adapter and I'll get audio from my optical (since it's surround sound and the adapter isn't) and I'll get chat from the adapter.
It really just depends on how you want to do things and how much you're willing to spend. Just to be clear, though, ANY wired headset plugged into the adapter will at least give you game audio through the controller. If it has a mic, it might allow voice.
With that adapter if I have a turtle beach head set wired one will it work normally on the Xbox one or am I better off waiting for a new set?
It should work with the adapter.
How do I get pass the this damn "Check Your home Network" message to sign on my xbox one? It won't let me sign . This is confusing ...
Ok so seriously fucking xbox live is down ? damn u titan fall!!
I'm online and playing but the support site says there are some problems signing in:
http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-live-status
This happened a few days after launch and it was only down for a few hours. If you get signed in you'll be fine. I've been on and off most of the day with no problems.

I didn't have any issues. I've been on all day. It's just one of those things that happens. There's an issue with Netflix right now on Xbox One for instance. Servers go bad, something goes wrong with a wire or connection, that's electronics for you. It'll be fixed in due time.
I usnerstand it though it sucks still. Just sucks I won't be able to play ti all really by the time it actually downlaods tonight once the servers get bac and I gotta install 2 other games ghost and DR3 ...
I didn't either. It was basically if you were trying to log on from like 6 p.m. EST to 10 EST. They've already fixed it so it's safe to log off.Quote:

I did the whole power reset thing. I'm pretty sure that did the trick. Now install / update all the games I got.. Just a little rough start and annoyed with the servers as always. But seriously M$oft needs to really get their shit together and this server BS crap. I chatted with a live member and the person basically it was due to so many people trying to play Titan Fall :fp:
Addictive as hell. I played probably 6 hours straight in the campaign yesterday, which being a multiplayer campaign, that's probably the longest I've played a true multiplayer game not named Halo since probably Modern Warfare 2. I can't even play COD MP anymore because of lag and all the camping and other douchebaggery. Halo, I still have fun in my primary modes that I prefer to play. Titanfall? Playing a full multiplayer experience, holy fuck is that a fun game.Quote:

And with all of the directions you can go, both on the ground and up on top of buildings by way of wall running, it truly opens up the entire map. You're not just limited to where you can go on the ground like in COD. You can wherever you want to thanks to wall running. If you want to get the vantage point of being up on the roof of one of the highest buildings in the map, there's a way to get there thanks to wall running, you just have to find it. The entire map is opened up to all out warfare, both vertically and horizontally.
And nothing gets more fun than calling in your Titan and going stomping around the map stepping on everyone and melee'ing them with your gigantic ass fist of steel. Titanfall is easily a game that I will play for years. It as joined Halo in tied for first place as my favorite game series, and I've only had it for one day.
Halo sucked. Never got the appeal. :)
Titanfall is wicked fun. I only had time to play for about 1.5 hours last night, and that was the most MP online I've played of anything in over a year for sure and the longest I've played in random online lobby stuff in over 2 years at least.
The pace is frenetic, but you can also "sneak" around by the wallrunning and getting to vertical highpoints. Dropping down on Titans or escaping if you are in trouble works well. The Titan execution is entertaining.
I can see playing this game a LOT, plus it was easy to load into and get into games, plus they ran smoothly.
Setting your Titan to guard is damn fun in Hardpoint.
Thanks man, enjoy :up:
I did find the titanfall thread as well.
I love dropping down on Titans. I jumped on Titans for the Rodeo challenge probably 30+ times in the couple hours I was playing yesterday. It is so FUN to be playing as a pilot, jump into the back of a Titan, rip open it's access panel and sit there unloading your gun into it and heavily damaging and/or destroying it. And that's the thing I love, it's so balanced. Instead of having Titans being these unstoppable things that you can only destroy with another Titan, it's possibly to destroy a Titan while running around as a pilot by doing the Rodeo maneuver. Titans can squash pilots by simply walking/running over top of them or using melee on them, and pilots can destroy Titans thanks to Rodeo. The balance of this game is amazing. Something COD could only dream of.Quote:

Absolutely unbelievable deal. $100 off and free Titanfall.
Wow, that is super tempting. How long is that promo good for?
It's probably not supposed to work like that, so I'm guessing not long. :D
Yeah, I think it's already fixed. I tried it just for shits and giggles and it said it was an invalid promo code.
Haha, ok.
Agreed! I love that, so far as I'm no expert like OU apparently, that there is a counter to pretty much everything and nothing just straight out dominates.Quote:

Microsoft Plans to be 'Direct and Honest' With Fans
Spencer said Microsoft could have handled the Xbox One reveal more effectively last summer.
http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/03/...nest-with-fans
Some of the features of April update:

This actually was one of the most frequently requested features from the first preview wave and we made it a priority to include it in the April update. Also, friends who are in multiplayer will be identified in the friends list. We’ll also add the ability to view friends’ most popular apps.
*Blu-ray 50 Hz video output support for content recorded at 50 Hz will resolve video playback issues some Xbox Live members in Europe are experiencing.
*Kinect voice and motion improvements will continue to fine tune the quality and reliability of Xbox One commands.
*Improved GameDVR video quality through compression algorithm improvements.
*Updates to Xbox One device management to address issues controlling TVs, set top boxes, and receivers that our customers have reported.

If you're going to, do it soon. The code takes $50 off and the price is supposed to be $499. For some reason, the code still works but it's priced at $449, so the code is taking it down to $399. Damn good deal. Hopefully a good many people take advantage of this. It's a great system.
Already done and done.Quote:

Welcome to the dark side! Pro tip - hook up the Kinect. It's amazing with voice controls. I haven't even used it for motion yet, nor will I...ever.
This should have been the price all along. I feel as though I should feel ripped off since I paid $500 for it with no game not even 6 months ago, but eh. :D
