Chaps, the Singapore MS store has a sale on Xbox credit.

For 56 Singapore dollars (£27) you get 70 dollars worth of credit, which is enough to buy you a full priced game. You can pay via PayPal. I'll most likely be using mine for Halo 5.

Thread on HUKD with instructions here.

I've bought my codes and got them instantly and have redeemed them.

hmm. wonder how long this is going to be going for, although i'd quite like to use it to pre order the digital deluxe black ops 3 and go halves with a mate, but i'd have to buy $140 when it costs $125 on their store.

still only works out at £25 each i suppose with a bit of change. which i think is still cheaper than any alternate stores

took the plunge in the end. anyway just checking my xbox news feed on the website and the first invites to test the new dashboard have just gone out.


42 minutes ago

In the Xbox Preview Program? The first batch of invites to help us test the New Xbox One Experience have gone out. Check your messages here on LIVE. Did not get on? Don't worry....we'll have more chances at a later date. Follow me on twitter for the latest info.

saying that it seems that the messages aren't invites as such to download the new app, but you can then go into the preview dashboard app and opt in to be added to the queue to get the update

The new dashboard has a massive list of bugs. Here is the full list. Beware, if you download it and don't like it, the only way to opt out is to do a factory restore of your console and lose your settings, saves, downloads etc....

These are the current known issues for the first wave of the New Xbox One Experience, which will be rolling out at a later date.

Games and Apps: The following are known issues with specific titles on the initial New Xbox One Experience updates.
Games Failing to Launch: The following games may fail to launch:
Guacamelee: SCTE
Unmechanical
Elite: Dangerous
Pool Nation FX
D4: Dark Dreams Don’t Die
Xbox Fitness
Skylanders
Destiny: The Taken King
Game Compilation Discs: ex. Borderlands: The Handsome Collection, Saints Row IV.
Forza 6: You may encounter graphical errors (screen turns a blue or purple hue) when participating in races.
Assassin’s Creed Unity: Installing Assassin’s Creed Unity DLC while the game is open will cause it to crash when the DLC finishes downloading.
Elder Scrolls Online: Logging in to an existing character will cause an error indicating you do not have network connectivity and prevent you from connecting to the server.
Titles with DLC installation issues: You will be unable to install DLC from game collection as no manage UI is present. Simply download the DLC and bundled title from the Store.

Apps Failing to Launch: The following apps may fail to launch:
ABC News
VUDU
SlingTV
WWE
Showtime Anytime
Every Street United
Overdog
BlinkBox
ReddX
TWC TV
Apps with video issues: The following apps will launch but videos or streams will not play.
SyFy
USA Now
BravoNow
TED
MLB

General System Issues

System Update Errors: If you encounter an update error screen while downloading a system update and the console freezes, please wait 3 minutes before rebooting the console to ensure crash data is captured. Crash data is submitted automatically; no action required on your part.
Party Chat: When entering connected standby with a party chat session open, after resuming from connected standby party chat may no longer function.
Workaround: Hard reset the console.
Xbox Button: While holding down a button on the controller or plugging in a racing wheel and pressing the Xbox button, the power menu may pop up after which the Xbox button will fail to recognize input.
Workaround: Hard reset the console.
Automatic Downloads: Content purchased from Xbox.com will not automatically download to the Xbox One console. This feature is planned to come later.
Browser: You will be unable to use voice commands in the browser; using voice commands in the browser will likely cause the console to hang and require a hard reset to resolve the issue.
My games & apps: After downloading a system update My games & apps may fail to populate.
Workaround: Hard reset the console.
Games stuck in the queue: You may find games are unexpectedly remaining in the download queue.
Notifications: Friends do not receive game toast notifications.

Live TV: The following issues affect the Live TV experience:

Cable/Satellite set top box compatibility is not yet at parity with the current Xbox One experience. Please continue to report video playback and audio issues using the Report a problem app to help us improve the experience. HDMI troubleshooting steps:
Go Home and press the menu button on the OneGuide app to quit, then restart it.
Unplug and re-plug the HDMI-in cable from the Xbox, ensuring it’s seated securely in the port.
With the Xbox One turned on, pull the power cord on the cable/satellite box, wait a few seconds, and plug it back in.
Press and hold the power button on the front of the Xbox One to perform a hard reboot of the console.
Dolby Digital surround sound will not work for Live TV.
App channels cannot be set as a Favorite.
The “Xbox Snap TV” voice command does not work. You can snap TV via voice command by saying “Xbox Snap OneGuide” or choosing OneGuide from the Snap Center.
The OneGuide pin doesn’t function. You can launch OneGuide using the app, voice commands, or from the OneGuide twist.
You may experience a stuck frame streaming TV to the Xbox App. You can enter OneGuide or resize your window to restore video playback.
The media transport controls do not work when streaming TV to SmartGlass and Xbox app clients.
When resuming from connected standby the Xbox One media remote may fail to send commands; a hard reset resolves this.

Community Twist:

Currently this area is not fully populated with content and is missing large sections of the user experience. Activity feed content also may not be actionable and items on the trending items second level screen have not been fully tuned. As Preview moves forward content and features in this area will light up.
Xbox App/Smartglass

SmartGlass and Xbox App Live TV/OneGuide: You may experience issues connecting to Live TV or OneGuide when connecting to the console with SmartGlass.
Workaround: Set your SmartGlass connection to auto connect, quit the app, and restart. If the issue persists, hard reset the console.
Basic SmartGlass functionality is now available including gamepad navigation, touch navigation, remote text entry, media playback control, and companions for apps and games. Other features such as two-finger touch panning, media companions, and power on/off will not function in this build.

Accessories:

Xbox One Media Remote:
When resuming from connected standby the Xbox One media remote may fail to send commands; a hard reset resolves this.
The buttons for media playback will not work (rewind, play, pause, fast forward, skip back, stop, skip forward). The directional and center “select” button will function as normal.
USB TV Tuner: If you have a USB TV Tuner plugged into your Threshold Xbox One console, Windows and Windows Phone SmartGlass devices will crash when attempting to connect to the console. To avoid this, you can switch to the Xbox App on Windows 10 or reset your TV settings and avoid setting up the USB TV Tuner.
Third Party Steering Wheels: Using a third party steering wheel will work in games, however, it may cause instability to the console after attempting to use the Xbox button to return to the dashboard.
Workaround: Hard reset the console.

Despite the issues listed above I decided to opt in.

For those wanting to do the same you will need to:

1. Open preview app

2. Select registration

3. Select change

4. Opt in to the beta for the new dashboard (its defaulted as not participating otherwise)

5. Hit submit

6. Play the waiting game (I have submitted a bit of feedback over the past few months so fingers crossed).

Hmm. So I'm in the preview program and opted into the new dash preview this morning (for the regular releases, not the ultra-early twice weekly releases).

I assume my choices are:

1. Hope the periodic releases are stable.

2. Leave the preview program.

If I leave, I assume I'll have to try to get back in again post-public release?

You can stay in the preview program and opt out of the new GUI for now. Pretty sure I've read that somewhere.

I'll take a look; I *think* that was an option *before* opting into the new dash preview.

EDIT: Nope, you're right, I just didn't read it properly :D

The options are:

1. Remain in preview program, receive new dash at a later date.

2. Apply to early test the new dash, twice weekly updates.

3. Leave the preview program.

Anybody struggling tonight? Looks like live is screwed - even xbox.com returns an error. Strangely the "test multiplayer" in network settings says everything is fine which it definitely isn't.

edit: Yep it's updated now to say core services are "experiencing issues"

Hey Xbox members, are you having issues with signing in to Xbox Live? We are aware of this and are working towards a resolution ASAP! Thank you for being patient in the meantime. We will provide you with an update when more information becomes available.

So NAT on the Xbox One, what a ball ache it is. I have tried forwarding the ports, dmx and I can't get the NAT to be anything other than strict when on Wifi

Use a home plug and put it in the DMZ and its open straight away

Want to try wifi to see if it stops Gears from saying I have been disconnected from Xbox Live (when I haven't been)

Go to test multiplayer connection, then when that has finished...hold RB, RT, LB, LT at the same time. Wait for the details to pop up, then go back to the main network screen and it should be Open or at least moderate.

If still not open, you need to change the power options to Energy Saving.
