You maybe right that the whole system is fucked, because even after redeeming the 1 month code and it saying right in my face, "Expires 12/8/17" I still cannot play anything online. It's weird, I'm talking to another support person.
Spent all day with my Scorpio edition, after transferring all my old hardsrove over to the new via network transfer.
First the bad...
-F*** Amazon Prime UK. Ordered so fast I was easily one of the first to order one and they missed day one delivery... Anyway...
-Network transfer took ages, but was going at 200ish meg/second. Can't complain. I just had lots of stuff (and no external).
- My box came dented and scratched. Goodbye resell value!
- During setup I found I couldn't press ok when it wanted me to go to the user email screen. After restarting and finding the same issue, I noticed that my pads LB button had been wedged onto place and stuck there :( I managed to get it out, and it's al worked fine since.
The good:
- Jesus Christ, erm... everything? This machine is amazing.
- So quiet, I can hardly hear it even on mute. Every hour I do get a small fan kick start for about 5 seconds that goes away, but I'm talking very quiet even then. Wow.
- Performance in games has been amazing and so has visuals. So far tried AC:Origins which looks amazing once set up, Zoo Tycok which is now smooth in frame rate, 4k, and no longer crashing. Lego Worlds which looks fantastic even at just 1080p and not a single frame rate hitch, and Fallout 3, which, for an old game, looks utterly stupid at 4k... Wow...
- Did I mentioned how quiet this is?
- I did also install the Insects demo, which is nice, if nothing more than for testing your HDR settings out :)
But for now, at half 1 in the morning, I really should be in bed... I just hope they add a X logo to the icons in My Games And Apps so I can see what's installed a little easier than the toggle top right...
Speaking of........ Km sure this picture has nothing to do with anything, but... one of these things is not like the others...

Grab the plantronics Rigs!!!!!
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/plantr...os-for-xbox-one-black/5923415.p?skuId=5923415
I'm using these at this moment with my X
I'm pretty impressed with this thing. I spent about 10 hours playing today. Everything is just so crisp and smooth. And I only have a 1080p set, but the higher frames and crisper graphics are still very evident. I'm happy with my purchase, that's for sure!
not that i ever heard my S either, but so far hearing naught even a whisper from this thing.
also running super cool playing Halo 5 - it's like voodoo or some shit.

Well, I tried what you suggested, did a hard reset and still only 30.3 G , with no further updates available. Weird.
My Halo 5 updated to over 100 gb just prior to my first reply to you. Weird with ROTR for us.
Sounds like a defect, it should be totally silent when off even in stand by
I know. I just put in Gears 4 and between disc and network, it's 100 GB. I deleted the TR install and will try again.
I'm in utter love with this thing, and that's off the back of owning a Pro for a year.
Everything looks so sharp and has such good performance, it's such a joy to use. And so quiet, it's relaxing too. Revisiting my old XBLA library is incredible. Omega Five!!!
But the thing that has blown me away the most is Gears 3 and Ninja Gaiden Black, and how on earth they have any right to look that good. MS could have sold these as remasters, they look that good. Seriously. And NGB is one of my favourite games of all time, so this just feels a little too good to be true right now :)
I'll admit I was feeling a little hesitant last week and wondering whether to cancel my preorder given that I already have a Pro, but I'm so glad I didn't. I really couldn't be happier with the X, and kudos to Microsoft for making such a giant leap in the last four years with their hardware. Now, if they can do the same with their first party output then that would be wonderful. Until then, X will now be my primary console, with the Pro and Switch purely for their exclusives.

Okay, excuse the ignorance here, but I have primarily been a Playstation person the past 4 years, but I am now back to XBox thanks to the X.
I want a better headset experience than plugging headphones into the controller (I have the official Microsoft XBox One Stereo headphones).
Wireless and surround sound is my preferred method.
However I think it may not be so simple. Want to verify.
I just enabled Dolby Atmos today since my receiver supports it. When I did I noticed it completely disabled the Optical Out on the One itself. So if I continue to want to use Atmos, I cannot use a Wireless solution since it uses Optical Out?
Or is it possible to do both?
I just want true surround headphones. I do not believe I am getting that plugging my headphones into a controller but perhaps I am wrong there???
If I do not have to spend money that is great, but I get the impression I do need to if I want "true" surround sound. (I put true in quotes as I do understand it is more emulated than anything else with headphones.)
I have the Playstation Platinum Wireless Headset for the PS4, and I love them. I just want something comparable, but I also do not want to stop using HDMI as my main audio source for my One to my Receiver.
Any help is truly appreciated here, as I am a tad confused with everything on the One as far as Surround Sound experience and headphones.

I know I asked about wireless capabilities but I just nabbed the 400s which are the 800s minus the wireless. :)
Thanks for the suggestion!
man, i'm enjoying this box SO. MUCH.
i'll actually be able to consider buying more games on Xbox instead of PC now if i want to play with friends who only have Xbox [like Overwatch for example].
i couldn't even consider playing third party games on Xbox before, it was so sad...
it's a new dawwwn, it's a new daayyyy, it's a new liiiife fo-oh-oh mee-ee!
i might have to try these out...
i bought some sweet logitech 3d ones back when i was playing TF1 on PC all day erry day, but the wires are just so FKin annoying i never use them anymore [despite having amazing positional sound and sound quality in general].

Ok, I have seen quite a bit of discussion regarding the noise level of the X1X, so I decided to perform a not-so-scientific experiment. Somewhere, still packed away from my last move years ago, I have a pretty decent set of microphones to measure SPLs, but as I couldn't be bothered to look for them, I decided to use an app on my phone to measure the the output of the X1X.
I measured the output with the phone directly on top of the X1X, but separated by a 1/2 rubber pad to minimize vibrations. The TV in question is a Panasonic VT65 VT65 1080P plasma, so the X1X is down sampling for my purposes.
Ambient room noise: 22-25db
As above, with X1X on at dash: 22-25db
As above, with WD 4GB My Passport Ultra plugged in: 24-27db
As above, with TV turned: on 24-27db
As above, with COD WW2 running from disc (Stronghold mission): 28-30db
As above, after disc drive shut down: 25-27db
As above, observed during 10 minute span: 25-28db
So there you have my brief observation. Up close, you can hear a low-level hum, but that is that is only evident after the TV is turned off (damn plasma whine). From where I sit (9-10 feet away), it is inaudible for every game I have tried so far, which was a big concern of mine after experiencing the PS4 Pro.

I have the Xbox One RIG 800LX Wireless headset that supports Atmos and i enjoy them very much. They plug in via USB so no need for the optical port. Maybe check them out.
Yup and if you wish to get surround and stuff back on your av system all you have to do is unplug the base
If I hit manage game and go to install risenof the tomb raider with the dlc and stuff it's 50.9GB
51GB after clicking install and going to manage game.....so yes, 50GB sounds correct
I tried the only 3 games I own which are cuphead, horizon 3, and KI, and the system remained dead silent. I turned off my air purifier and leaned against the system and couldn't hear a thing. The only problem I have is that for some reason HDR on horizon 3 looks dark, while SDR on my pc on same game looked way more bright and vibrant. Never had a dark HDR issue on the pro either, or maybe the hdr on horizon 3 just sucks. I like the system so far.
Out of the XB1X enhanced games I have tried, Forza 7 (demo) and Gears 4 seemed the best. There was absolutely no aliasing on Gears 4, in visual mode, on a 1080p plasma. Before the update, the game had considerably aliasing. Forza 7 had only aliasing on very distant areas or in minor places on the vehicle edges. Compared to Forza 6, the game is a monster improvement visually. I tried Slime Rancher and, without V-sync on, the framerate is very inconsistent. Aside from the graphical glitches, the games looked very nice. However, I had to turn on V-sync and up the x-horizontal control sensitivity, for the best experience. I had not previously tried this game and don't have it on PC, so I have no idea how it previously looked or ran. The rest is still downloading.
My Astros base is plugged into optical and USB, the wireless headphones work great for me. No issues watching movies or playing games or using the mic/mute etc.
Just made a Xbox One X screenshots thread here:

If you have any please share :D

they have to be compatible......Xbox One sadly still hasn't added plug and play for basic usb headsets that we have used on PC for basically forever.
IIRC Atmos headphones is literally just a $15 software license so you don't need to buy a specific headset, or am I wrong?
Edit yep https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/dolby-atmos-for-headphones/9mv4jdrvqtnv
correct, however there are only 3-4 options for wireless headphones....and the Rigs are actually the best wireless headset atm for use specifically on the X1 platform
The only USB sets I know of, are the ones that are fully wireless and there is a total of like....4
Seems it still has a problem with random controller disconnects. I had this problem on the original and the S, but I never played either enough to look into it much. But if im going to start using xbox for 3rd party this is going to get annoying. Anyone else have this problem or know if theres a fix? I was just playing Wolfenstein 2 and the controller just disconnected in the middle of a fight.
Secondary question... Any way to dim this damn light on controller? All the talk I saw about the PS4 controller light, i find this FAR more annoying. Its right in my face.

Where's the list of compatible sets? Golds work? Plugged into the controller of course.
I wasn't very productive in actually playing games tonight. I played every game in my lirbary for like 20 minutes just to see how everything looked.
I really think the biggest wow moment was Fall Out 3.....I played it a few months back and once a game looks dated I just can't mess with it but this game man, it looks so good (for it's time) there really was that much of a bump to the game, it is truly unbelievable
Edit: I can't even imagine what the new red dead will look like on this.

I'll just buy an Xbox Headset. Surprised this was not included given the price tag...
Tried my Hyper X cloud II headset....nothing lol.
Thanks for the help though man.
Can't find you a list.....I just remember from researching and looking around that there was only a few legit fully wireless sets where you didn't need some dongle still going into the controller
Golds do not work wireless from when I last tried, and I don't think Microsoft still has added basic USB headset support. The companies basically have to pay a license to use wireless via the USB (speculation on the license....but we have known in the past microsoft to have licensing fees for technology use on the consoles)
There was this though
https://news.xbox.com/2017/09/05/new-xbox-wireless-gaming-headsets/
But be careful, not all wireless headsets......are 100% wireless and sometimes still require a cable from the set to the controller for the chat feed
Same question.
I'm installing a bunch of games. (Digitally)
And I can hear the thing. Very well could be the hard drive I'm hearing. In "rest mode" now and same thing. I don't wanna judge it until all this downloading is done and I'm strictly playing a game
Batman: Arkham Knight looks worse now for me. The puddles and rain droplets are too sharp and shimmery. Im playing it on a 1080p screen which looked fine before the xb1x. So far every other game I played ran great. Anybody else tried Batman: Arkham Knight?
Lol I'm still undecided! Literally just for Halo and 360 BC...but my 3 best guy friends have Xbones and I love it when we all play Halo and the occasional Rocket League together even if it hasn't happened in a while.
Yeah I was just wondering because I have a pair of those Corsair yellowjackets from B.B. and those things seemingly only work on ps4 and pc.
Ok, well something's definitely wrong on my end, then. Still only 30GB. Thanks.
