    The WSOP poker game was the best, but the servers are being turned off in March. I guess it never took off as much as they thought it would, although I always had plenty of games available.... The XB1 could use a good community poker game. Hopefully someone will fill this void soon.....

    I just want them to give us back custom soundtracks like we had on the 360. I played a ton of WSOP poker games with my own music playing. I miss that capability on the XB1.

    Has anyone hooked up an EHD to their XBox yet? I just added a Seagate 2TB drive. It took forever to do an update to my Amazon Prime app, but maybe there was some formatting delays or something... I have heard from others that it actually speeded up game load times.... Anyone have any...

    It's been 8 months..... At least match what the 360 has apps wise... What is the hold up?

    They need to start making things MUCH more consumer friendly, especially on the XBone side. They are in 2nd place know, and like Avis, need to try harder.... I want custom soundtracks back, and the ability to upload my mp3 collection for playback on any game or content I want. Also, get...

    Mine is left on 24/7 and is working great. Cool to the touch, and no issues, although the recent system update threw up a forced upgrade about a week back that caused some minor spousal irritation as she kept trying to press "A" on an XBox 360 controller to clear it. Yeah, that won't work...

    I leave my XB1 on all the time to minimize spousal frustration with the TV passthrough. Do I need to turn it off to get the update, or will it force it through during idle time (like they incessantly do with my PC)?

    I'm guessing they will allow EHDs by mid year as a few power users start to hit the memory ceiling.

    3D is not supported right now. They said they expect it in an update in the "near future". This thing is about 80% done so I am guessing some of the royalty contracts are still pending.....

    In order to reduce spousal difficulties, I am now just leaving the XBox on 24/7 as I do with my satellite receiver.... It has that massive form factor as a design feature so it CAN be left on all the time per MS's engineers. No issues and has been working fine. Case is cool to the touch, and...

    Ramp nailed the primary advantage. You can also take the disc with you to a friends house or loan it to them when you are done. That won't work with a download unless you take the whole console with you.

    It seems to be hit or miss..... Hulu Plus automatically loaded me (I'm guessing my microsoft email address had migrated over the settings from my 360 accounts). I don't use Netflix, so I assume they had a similar setup. All of the other apps, including ones that I had used on the 360...

    I solved the receiver control issue. Moved the 722 further forward and turned at a slight angle. Then turned the Kinect at a slight angle. It all works now and saying "Xbox Watch CNN".works to change the channel now. Also, got the XB1 to output a DTS signal to my av teceiver. Found a...

    Well, I'm at an impasse. I can get my 722 to passthrough the signal, but I can't get it to change channels from the XBox. I know the 722 is set to receive IR as I have the RF receiver to IR blaster unit sending signals to it. Due to my room configuration, kinect signal can't get over to...

    So, which one are you getting: PS4 or Xbox One?

    On a related note, South Park has been doing a hilarious riff on the console wars with a PS4 vs. XB1/Game of Thrones/Black Friday mashup. So far there are have been two episodes, with I am guessing the third and final episode to air next week.

    Re: XB1 : Do you mean do they have an app like Verizon has? No. If you are asking whether it will get guide data and pass through a signal from your receiver through the HDMI port of your D* receiver, then yes. All of my E* sat receivers, AV receivers, laptops, game consoles, and BluRay...
