Like the coloured dots next to the face buttons, the gold, not so much.

[HarryBizzle]

That price is pretty good considering the controller and SSD.

I don't mind the gold as much as... the black.

[Dudley]

It's not an SSD.

[SeanR]

It's not an SSD.

It's not an SSD.

Yeah, it's a hybrid drive, but to be fair the controller is still priced at £109 on it's own...

[SMD]

How big is the SSD bit?

[elmo]

Has anyone else Kinect gone to shit?

Mine keeps turning itself off... Microsoft want £50 to fix it!

[Scribblor]

Mine went to shit about three months after I got my original console. Boxed it up to return to Microsoft, and then didn't get around to it for a few weeks, by which time I realised I didn't miss it in the slightest. So it's still on a shelf, all boxed up to send to Microsoft. That was over a year ago.

[elmo]

I use mine all the time. Someone's just pointed out that I can get a second hand one for £38 with a years warranty from CEX. I'll just do that

[Alex W.]

If they're using Seagate, I wonder if it's their ST1000LM014 which has an 8GB cache. Very popular, pretty handy drive. Perhaps with some customisations so that the dashboard stuff stays cached.

I'd argue with MS and get them to replace it free of charge

I did, unfortunately they wouldn't budge.

[Kryptonian]

What a set of pricks.

They replaced my 360 Kinect out of warranty when the cat chewed through the cable

Mine is really flacky now. The light comes on but the console claims it's not attached. Sometimes unplugging it from the console and plugging it back in again will revive it for a short while.

I don't use it much but it was quite amusing listening to my seven year old shouting 'XBox On' at it for ages the other day! Eventually he did give up and use the remote to turn it on.

[MojoChin]

Yeah, my Kinect has gone like this. Has been happening for the past 2 months or so, but I'm too lazy to do anything about it. It makes me realise how much I miss it though (as opposed to the ones saying they don't miss it), the joy I had when it worked for a couple of days after coming home from holiday was great. Gone again now though...

[TehStu]

Is this a thing with the new version? I've had a 360 kinect since it launched, and not had any issues.

I was intending to pick a new one up second hand.

[Transient Curse]

Have the Kinects with problems been moved around much? The intermittent fault sounds like a bad connection. Perhaps the cable's really fragile?

Bit weird this, as mine is the same. Voice recognition used to be spot on. It's terrible now.

[Oracle]

Download pack in games suck. New console and can't play it booo

[metallicfrodo]

Mine has moved house once (apart from that it's not been moved), and it started doing it before it was moved, although it has got worse and worse recently. I'm of the mind that it is indeed a connection issue with mine as one time I managed to get it to be recognised again by seemingly just moving the cable about.

I'm of the mind that it is indeed a connection issue with mine as one time I managed to get it to be recognised again by seemingly just moving the cable about.

I think that's exactly what it is, I blew into the port and cable connection last night, plugged it back in and touch wood, it's been fine ever since.

[Mike S]

I've been away for six weeks and now the Xbox One is dead, light on the power brick but a totally non responsive console. It's not even been plugged in so I'm surprised to say the least...

So no Blast Corps for me

[amorenod]

Well, then you can "git good" in DS2 without further distractions

[Mike S]

Haha.

Indeed..

[Scribblor]

I might try that with mine, just out of curiosity.

Mine has sat on top of my TV since the day I got it. Never moved.

[Mike S]

Mine is fucked.

If MS won't replace it, or at least heavily subsidise a new one, then I won't be buying another so fingers crossed as I really want to play Blast Corps again...

[SeanR]

Mine has sat on top of my TV since the day I got it. Never moved.

Mine's on top of my PS3, which is on top of my 360, which is on top of my bone.

Which is on the carpet.

[T Pot]

Ditto. I've never had problems with Kinect, it's the consoles that keep dying on me.
