After having it for just over a week it decided not to turn on anymore. It would make the sound when you press the button, light up and then turn off after 2 seconds.
I never turn mine off, just as I do with my cable box. Am I the only one that leaves their xbox constantly on? Sent from my iPhone5S using Tapatalk - now Free
Overall thoughts so far on XboxOne: It's ok. As I suspected, this is the most underwhelmed I've ever been by a next generation console. That's more on console gaming just hitting a bit of a wall of where it can go more than a knock on Xbox though. I'm sure I'll feel the same about the PS4 when I eventually get that. Skyping with it is nice. Much easier than using a laptop or PC. I like running TV through it and being able to go pretty seamlessly from TV to games. I don't like that it's not a "one stop shop" yet. Where the hell is HBO GO? I know it's coming eventually but switching back to 360 to watch HBO shows is a dick kick. I haven't figured out all the voice commands and gestures yet. I've figured out how to turn it on and switch to TV and skype by voice, but it doesn't work great. Room has to be pretty quiet. Kinnect does weird camera stuff when skyping and it almost seems like it's something I'm causing it to do but not sure how. Appreciate any tips from those of you who have mastered this.
I've had for only 2-3 weeks now and I love it. I've had no issue whatsoever with the kinect voice commands. Sounds like you need to calibrate your microphone if your having issues. You should just go through the setup if the kinect all over again. The voice commands are pretty simple. The best thing to do is open up the speech tutorial. Or just remember to say "xbox select", and any thing that pops up in green text is a voice command option. Sent from my iPhone5S using Tapatalk - now Free
Anybody else having trouble running DirectTV through Xbox? The Xbox keeps telling me it lost my TV signal, meanwhile there is nothing at all wrong with the DirectTV box. I'll probably just have to stop running it through Xbox. Starting to be more trouble than it's worth.
I had trouble with my cable box. I had to turn "instant on" off in the Xbox setting in order for my cable box to work.

That's what's giving me such buyer's remorse right now. So far the only game I have played on it is just whatever and the awesome integration it's supposed to have with TV and other media doesn't work worth a turd. I've very whatever about it right now, but I'm sure I'll get my money's worth out of it eventually. For now I'm back to the 360 to finish up Borderlands 2 and watch HBO.
So generally speaking, has Xbox pulled away from PS with the release? I was waiting for a little while before I picked one... probably grab one this summer.
What about performance issues though? I've heard all kinds of stuff about Xbox failures, not so much PS4. Is that the case?
