Background music confirmed for Aug 2nd Anniversary update. It's not in the preview build yet but I expect it'll be there very soon.

 

Prepare your summer jams, Xbox faithful. Microsoft has confirmed that it will finally enable playing background music in Xbox One as part of the cross-platform Windows 10 Anniversary update rolling out on August 2.

I'm trying to talk myself out of it and you're not helping.

 

I bought it yesterday and it's lovely, didn't take me long to get used to the paddles at all and it just feels great. To be fair though, both my other pads had stick drift and I had more cash than usual, so it was an indulgence.  I quite like the d-pad disc as well! I know angel hated it.

 

Also do we still have a Rainbow Six crowd?  Picked it up a few weeks ago and I love it but I'm just stumbling around on my own.

I must admit i find it absolutely flabbergasting that someone would play £120 for a video game controller. After all, its only for playing games with, and surely can't be that much better than the standard one.

 

Is that blasphemous to type that on here? Just my opinion.

 

 

I dunno, would you be surprised to find out someone had spent £120 on headphones when you can buy a pair for half that?  I suppose I bought it partially out of curiosity, and partially in the hope that the build quality will last longer than the standard pads, and I'm not regretting it... yet. The paddles have already improved my Dark Souls 3 game.

[Yoshimax]

@CarloOos Yes we still play R6 quite often. Amazing game never gets old.

 

7 new games added to the store today not including the new free games with gold - and Hawken is free on top. Absolutely mental.

[Clipper]

is prison architect more user friendly than the PC version. I foudn that just scarily indepth starting with bare site and prisoners arriving and I hadnt built anything

 

 

[Yoshimax]

You get an hour free don't you? Or is that gone now it's out of preview?

[Yoshimax]

Background music app found on an Xbox running in dev mode.

 

 

[Boozy The Clown]

Picked up an Elite controller this morning from CEX. After trading my old pad £23, The Crew £5, Sunset Overdive £4 and Deadpool BR £12, I paid £56 in cash. Now to wash the skin and cock snot off it as it looks like the previous owner used the case for wanking target practise.

[Revival]

There's another XBOX Ultimate Game Sale happening on July 5-11.

 

No video up on youtube yet but it's on the 360 dash apparently, Over 250 sales.

Bit grim. Couldn't you get GAME to price match the trade in prices and pay the extra for a new one?

[TehStu]

Silly question, but is there a way to "buy" the GWG games without having my InstantOn machine immediately downloading them? Something similar to PS+, where I can add them to my library but have to manually kick off the download?

Japan has Max for free again this month if anybody wants to play it. It's a good little game.

I 'buy' them on Xbox.com and they sit in my ready to download list but don't download until I manually tell them to.

Does this normally happen in the UK too?  I assume with the shit exchange rates (thanks Boris!) it's probably not much cheaper to buy elsewhere if the same discounts apply..

Yeah, if I do that they start downloading immediately. I assumed that was the point of having it on InstantOn mode.

[Yoshimax]

@TehStu if it's not your "home" console they go in the RTI section. I wouldn't recommend changing that though as you can only do it every 3 months or something like that.

 

@Ant73 yeah UK too buying from US is easy though.

[rafaqat]

I've generally found that the sales are pretty much global.  All the joy of sales prices further discounted when bought off the Russian Store.

 

[MikeF]

Looks like some good titles in the sale by the looks of the trailer

[The Mighty Ash]

I had a disconnect playing rocket league yesterday and quantum break earlier in the week.

I've given up on wireless and use a USB connection with my main controller, it got so bad.

 

Pretty pathetic of Microsoft to bring out these new custom design controllers with 'better connectivity' and Bluetooth, but not accept that they screwed up in the first place.

 

Have you updated your pad? Goto Settings>Kinect & Devices if you haven't.

[Butters]

Is there somewhere that I can see all the games attached to my account? I don't just mean games that I've bought, but ones through GWG and ones I've bought with the 360? I presume it's probably through the website rather than on the One.

 

I know that I can look at all the One games and those that are backward compatible, but was looking for a complete list.

[Yoshimax]

There's a new update rolling out for preview members.

 

HOW TO GET IT

• If your console is in Instant-On mode, it will download and install the update and reboot to standby.

• NOTE: Once the update is available, you can manually begin the update by launching the Guide and navigating to All Settings > System > Console info & updates.

• If your console hasn’t downloaded and installed the update by 1:00AM PDT 7/3/2016, you will be prompted to do so at that time.

 

DETAILS

 

OS version released: rs1_xbox_rel_1608.160629-2012
Available: 6:00PM PDT 7/1 (1:00AM GMT 2/7)

Thanks for helping us test the latest Xbox One update! We’re eager to show off the new features and experiences we’ve been working on. We’ve noted below a few important things to be aware of before you jump in.

 

• Certain content (games, apps, DLC) purchased in the new Store may only be available on consoles enrolled in the latest Preview update. This means…


• Games purchased on a console running the latest Preview update can only be played on that console or other consoles running the latest Preview update. 


• Games purchased via Xbox.com can be played on any console.  


• Games purchased on a console running the previous update can be played on any console.

 

• Certain parental control features aren’t functioning appropriately in the current build. As a result, we encourage users to exercise caution when letting children access a console that is using the latest Xbox One update until these issues are resolved.

 

• We’ve added several settings that are already found on Windows today. These include SmartScreen Filter, which sends URLs you visit in apps to Microsoft to check against a list of potentially harmful sites, and advertising ID, which helps Microsoft present you with more personalized ads in Universal Windows Apps. You can choose to turn these off and manage your preferences for how Xbox One uses your information in Settings.

 

NEW FEATURE

 

• Movies & TV
Purchasing and renting movies and TV shows is now enabled in the new Xbox Store, and playback of movies and TV shows is enabled in the new Movies & TV app. You can purchase or rent movies and TV shows in the Xbox Store (or the Windows Store or on MicrosoftStore.com), and use the new Movies & TV app to play back content. 

 

When first launching the new Movies & TV app, you will be taken to the home screen which only displays a few items from your collection. To view your entire collection of movies and TV shows, move the left stick on your controller to the left to expose the side bar menu, and select "Movies" or "TV" to see your full collection. On the home screen of the new Movies & TV app, if you select a new movie or TV show to purchase or rent, you will be taken to the product details page in the Xbox Store to complete the purchase.

 

Movies & TV Known Issues: 


• You may have to manually download the new Movies & TV app from the Xbox Store, and manually uninstall the old Movies & TV app. 


• When searching in the Xbox Store for the new Movies & TV app, the app may be listed in the Xbox Store as "Films & TV". 


• If you try to purchase or rent movies or TV shows from the old Movies & TV app, you will be prompted with an error.

Please avoid purchasing a Gamertag change on Xbox One at this time. To successfully change your Gamertag, visit https://account.xbox.com/ChangeGamertag.

• Community Calendar
Links to the Store in Community Calendar event details do not currently function.

Mine does it from time to time; it'll be fine for a few hours or days and then disconnect a couple of times, then go back to being alright before repeating.

 

Annoying when you're playing online multiplayer.

I had the problem constantly on earlier dash versions. But then they did an update maybe 12 months ago and it stopped completely. But 3 or 4 months ago it started again. Now I'm in the preview program it happens a lot.

It's been consistent for me, hence using the USB cable. I'm on the preview program too.

 

Much like the PS4 the solution is to buy a new pad, as much as it pissed me off and Sony were shit I haven't had any issues on the newer Sony pad or on the newer Xbone pad.
