You're getting a lot of game for 100GB. Take it all in and have fun.
When i'm allowed to play it I will haha, I mean come on...!
I'll be installing Forza 7 next, then Horizon 3 for the 4K update. Sigh, best get an external.
I'm still using an old Harmony 880 universal remote for my entertainment setup and there's a discrete IR command available that will eject a disc in the console.
Question : what are you going to do once the disk is ejected?
Extremely probable answer : Get up and go to the console to remove the disk. So why not doing the exact same thing but press the eject button on the console at the same time ? Why the need to be able to eject the disk remotely, because anyway you're going to move close to the console at some point ? I don't even understand where's the problem, and understand even less the outrage...
I'd post a picture of how dark my home theater room is, but you wouldn't see anything. Fumbling to find that tiny eject button is a pain. It's much more convenient to handle that via controller before grabbing the disk.
I think the 360 used to have the ability to eject discs that way.
So Im suprised that the One doesnt lol.
It doesnt occur to me I guess because most of the games I play are digital.
maybe you can start up a post on userfeedback to for them to implement it
When I googled to find out about it, there were threads from 2014 so I'm pretty sure it's not happening.
It's a tiny black button on a black console and still I'm perfectly able to find it in the dark. It's on the far left at the bottom and it goes out from the front panel largely enough to be found. In fact, even with light it's hard to see it but they made it very easy to touch and find.
Please can someone recommend a decent wireless headset around the £100 price?
I'm looking for the Xbox equivalent of the Sony gold wireless headset which I have for my Pro. Audio quality and comfort is my priority over surround or mic functionality etc, plenty of treble and bass.

Ahh, I mean the team has been pretty good with feedback.
Especially with smaller things like removing games with 0 gamerscore from
your profile.
It wouldnt hurt to atleast try somewhere.
Question 2: If the room is that dark when you grab the disc, how will you read which disc you're switching to?
Those parts are easy. Ejecting the disc is the only annoying part. Would have been if the 360 or PS4 was that way too.
PS4 superiority confirmed. The fucking controller light makes any dark room an impossibility. /s

I don't want to spoil Gears 4 but let's just say that if you've played the first three games then some familiarity becomes present a little later in the game, that is a really amazing surprise. It's also completely hilarious too, but I don't want to give away anything else. There is definitely continuity there, but this isn't the type of game where the story matters too much, it's all about the action.
I'd still play them in order because they're great games.
I've played one and two but can't remember if I played 3... Definitely didn't play judgment. I might just continue with 4 and see if I remember enough.
You can skip judgement. Gears 3 is X enhanced and looks fantastic, check it out.
Yea, you need a 1gb connection if you're going digital with x1x
My 100mb connection, which served me well since 2004, just isnt cutting it anymore

You lucky dog, I can only get 12mbit adsl. Telenor and its "Old Lines". XD. There is a reason I can't buy PS4 or Xbox One, and Telenor is that reason. I would have nightmares of the One X and it's download sizes :(.
Yeah, I downloaded a bunch of stuff from game pass and took me like a full day with the game sizes.
I have something like 250+ games installed on my Xbox One X.
(You def need an external......or 2)
If I lived 5 miles south I'd have comcast, thank god I have Midco which now offers 1 gig internet and no data caps for 100$ a month.
Fair enough. But this is the first worldest of all first world problems.
I need some assistance reconciling what is going on with some tech here:
1) Xbox One X uses HDMI which AFAIK only displays at 60hz
2) It also claims to be compatible with Freesync 2
3) Freesync 2 works with lower framerates by multiplying frames with LFC, so the actual monitor is running higher frequency range where the Freesync can do its work. So if it is getting 32fps it will double them to get 64fps and then match that.
4) But I thought monitors have to match their source? So if 1X gives a 60hz output, how can a Freesync 2 monitor have the overhead to use Freesync 2?

Yes. The only thing you may have to worry about is updates to any game that needs one, otherwise you'll be good to go.
At the moment the HDMI 2.1 VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) capabilities are not patched in into the console yet. They needed to wait for the HDMI 2.1 spec finalization. I also not aware of any device that supports HDMI 2.1 on the output side of things. You have to wait for the HDMI 2.1 patch on the One X and a device that supports it to benefit from it.

To be fair, I'd hardly say you "need" a 1 Gb connection. I have a 70 Mb connection and as long as you aren't super impatient, it's more than doable. Downloading Assassin's Creed Origins finished overnight without any problems so even at the really large sizes of games, they don't take days and days. As long as you have a stable connection and don't need to play a game the second you hit the download button, relatively slower connections are fine.
With that knowledge I just ordered one of these. No need for large display with local (or per pixel) dimming until we can also have it at least 120hz with freesync. By time the market gets there it'll probably be 4:4:4 chroma as well and we'll truly be living the perfect display dream. In the meantime I'll take 1/10th the price of a top tier for jamming all those pixels into 32" with 6-axis color control (FINALLY). It's a VA so I hope the black trail isn't too bad, but I'm on a BenQ TN right now so the color jump in itself should more than make up for it, not to mention the motion blur being fairly bad at 60hz anyway since it was designed to go 144hz.
(As a bonus, this does have 40-60fps freesync, which is what my videocard supports, so some of my PC games will benefit, although I won't be able to run them 4k)
Yup I have a 75/19 connection and I've had no issues. Games don't take too long to download at all.
Finally solved my noise issue with the XB1X. I turned off the record player above it that I forgot to turn off. Whisper quiet now! Hope this fix works for anyone with a noisy unit.
Next time I hear jazz music playing when I turn on my Xbox I'll remember this, thanks!
Yeah they are sure big, I'm rocking a total of 7TB of drive space now, so I'll be good for a long time.
Been playing AC Origins on my X for about a week or a little more now and good lord is this game absolutely gorgeous. Absolutely stunning on my KS8000.
The console's whisper quiet too. Really happy with the system so far.
