Those prices are awful!

I was thinking of taking my old Kinect and Wii to GAME... don't know if I'll bother now.

Was that £10 on the Game website? If so it's a placeholder price because they don't accept at least launch and 80GB PS3s, same with Grainger Games.

Ok i have messed around with things and i still have the problem which makes watching TV unusable through the console, i haven't contacted MS yet as i wanted things to settle down first and give them a chance to fix this issue with a possible update, also looking at this thread there are loads of people with the same issue and some of them are in the states.

I have again gone back to the old way of viewing TV.

Things i have tried:

Snapping an app while watching TV = picture still freezes

Swapping HDMI cables around = Picture still freezes

Turning off 'Instant On' = Picture still freezes

Changing my cable box to 720P output = Picture still freezes

Swearing at it = Picture still freezes

Yeah, same here, Matt. Nobody would listen to the noise mine makes and say "that's loud!", but being able to hear it when the console is turned off is a bit annoying.

Someone has created this pretty good community feedback site:

http://xboxfeedback.com/

I've added mine to the Comments page.


According to the associated reddit thread, majornelson has already passed the address on to the relevant people.

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

My paranoid OCD has been making me worry I need a new PSU.

For those who got Forza 5 via the Day One Edition:

The card with the QR code actually gives you the game plus a "Day One Car Pack"... but the QR code only seems to add the game to your account (at least for me and various other people), so you may need to also manually enter the second code listed on the card to obtain the car pack.

Im gutted the Xbox Store version of Forza 5 isnt Day One edition. I thought that the Day One edition was not only exclusive to Game but would also be via the Xbox Games Store

The Day edition was for someone pre-ordering Forza 5 for day one.

I think Game were selling the Forza Limited Edition pack which included the 'Day One cars' it was different from the day one cars version of the game, see the bottom of this link.

Actually looking at the game site it does look like they say exclusive to the day one pack, however this probably didn't include the fact that all day one forza edition consoles got the Forza car pack too, and you could buy the Forza edition console from anywhere.

Oh ok that explains it. I was under the impression Day One editions were exclusive to Game and MS but seems that was incorrect. Oh well

[SnoopZ]

I am really hoping they reduce the price of digital downloads as £55 is too much but that is cheaper than on the PS4 where they're are priced at £60 after Sony reduced them buy £3s.

You may have been right about the game itself see my edit, however not if the game came in the console box.

Well i had been having severe freezes while watching TV through the HDMI pass through making TV unusable so i had given up and connected it up the old normal way, however last night i decided to try again so i took the HDMI lead out the back of the TV and connected it to the HDMI IN on the console and i can't believe it, it has now been working perfectly without any freezing so i am a very happy bunny and don't plan on unplugging anything for a while!

Also while playing Forza racing i needed to turn the volume up but the controller was out of reach, so i thought i would try 'Xbox Volume Up' and it worked, i had not tried that before and didn't even know the command.

I agree about the DD prices.

Im not sure on the game now as i brought mine from Xbox store and doesnt mention it and the car packs are showing a price.

I have connected my TV back to my amp due to the refresj rate issue

Anyone know of a way to get my Xbox One to control things like volume, as my TV isn't recognised during the setup. I have a Samsung ES8000
