XBOX ONE
« on: December 01, 2013, 09:24:28 PM »
A warning for all you gamers and parents who may be getting an Xbox one for the kids/family for Xmas. Make sure you have a good braodband connection with lots of gigs and don't leave it to Xmas morning to open it. My advice is to open it while the kids are at school and do any updates on console and games, otherwise my prediction is you may have some un happy kids and even more in happy mums and dads. I have had one for 24hours and still can't play a game. I think my problem is my mobile 4g broadband is not a steady enough connection to download needed updates.

Better still, go get a ps 4 instead.

I had a similar prob with the PS3. On ADSL2 but in a congested area and it takes a while to update.

After Sony’s PlayStation 4 was launched in Europe yesterday, gamers have been complaining about their inability to sign into PSN.
 
In a post on Sony's forums, a moderator said high volume on PSN is causing network latency: "We are aware of the issue and working to resolve it as quickly as possible. We are sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience," the moderator wrote.
 
Sony also updated the forum post to explain there are new issues with redeeming codes/vouchers on the PSN. To address everything that's going wrong and investigate the network issues further, the "redeem voucher” functionality on PSN has been suspended temporarily.
 
"Unfortunately this means that money cards, product vouchers, PlayStation Plus vouchers, PS3-PS4 upgrade vouchers and any other vouchers for digital content are not redeemable until this is resolved. Other PSN features should still be available, but there may be intermittent issues," Sony explained.



I'll stick with the 360 as long as I can... None of my 30 odd games will work on Xbox1 cause MS want you to buy them all again.

I just want a console just for the console, and not have any or need any Internet connection. It seems that is impossible now.

Correct. They all have to report to the mothership.

Trying to use it through mobile will end in failure...

we were looking at the xbox one for the kids for xmas. 599, and doesnt include a single game apparently.

Far out, it would be close to $1000 by the time you get a second controller and a game. Wonder if my 8 year old would like some maxtrax instead  8)

Sounds about right, cost us $599 for console, $88 for game ( that really has nothing on it), then what ever Internet costs for all the downloads you have to get before it all works, so far about 8gig, and the game still wants to download more.  We didn't get a 2nd controller

Yeah Iam content to stick with the 360 for now. But MS will force us over with game releases etc eventually. For now the one doesn't even have GTA !

Steams game box will be worth watching. Reportedly just going to be a PC based game console but much more powerful?

GTA5 was crap anyway. The game play and graphics etc were good, but the story was way to short. I had it done after 2 weekends and was dissapointed, so traded it in. That was on ps3 anyway.

I only play them for multiplayer oldmate. Couldn't give a FF about the single player game. No time, haven't finished a single player game for years, just want to co op MP with my two boys.

Correct on both counts.
Not making the console backwards compatible is awesome marketing from ****soft, but puts many players out of the market.

Makes me glad I got the NBN, it's blazingly fast!

Will get the Xbox ONE hopefully for Christmas, but not desperate for it until I see a game I really want.

Wow, reading all that you lot have put here reminds me how out of touch I am.
I have had a Play station, a grey box type. Then got a new smaller updated version, got a game for it and got to the end but missed something along the way in the 1st part and couldn't find what I had to do. The game was a WW11 war game, any way, I gave up, we had kids soon after and not turned 1 on since.
On a ship I worked on once, to watch a movie was via 1 of these game things, had to get someone to show me how to work it, I gave up on that to. Read a book instead.
We have a wii thing, never gets turned on, kids are not interested.
