Ok so i am now really getting annoyed with Kinect. It is not picking up my commands. I am having to try over 5 times and when does work i just give up. Im unsure if i was use Kinect alot at mo with this in mind.

The kinect mic is a brilliant workaround for headsets , perfectly clear , no need to shout , if you go on bf4 open the smartglass app for multiplayer , shows full map with live info, shows where spotted enemies are etc.

Any idea how we register our consoles S/N with xbox.com?

I was like that at first , I can now set up partys seamlessly, don't shout at it , give a second between commands , say what you see when the next screen comes up rather than saying xbox before everything.

Voice commands seem to work pretty well here, you need to pause after saying Xbox.

Congrats everyone who's got it. Enjoy.

Does anyone else have the issue on Battlefield 4 test range for example, where if you pan left and right the metal towers flicker white? it doesn't look good at all.

Looks like it is a BF4 issue as you can see the thin silver towers flickering in this video, however i don't know which console this is from.

I have a release date console despite being told the 23rd December. I'm at work but already done updates and whatnot. Confirmed this morning that I'll be receiving Project Cars free on Xbox 1 and PS4. Already got my PC version. My XBL will be changing due to me being permanently banned from EA servers on Xbox.

This!

Also, I've noticed a few weird things with Kinect. One of them is that I just said "Xbox resume" because I had a game paused and it thought I said "Xbox go to".

My Orb Kinect mount arrived today from Argos.

Unfortunately, it's crap

The Kinect does not clip on securely... The clips on the mount don't work, I assume as the Kinect's based dimensions aren't quite what the people at Orb thought they'd be!

The mount itself also seems a bit precarious on top of the TV.

I think I'll stick it at the base of the TV for now instead, until a better TV mount comes along...

SnoopZ · 22-11-2013, 18:04

I am disappointed how Battlefield 4 looks, too many jaggies i didn't think i would see anywhere as much as i did on it so it maybe that the PS4 looks far better at 1080p.

I have a nasty feeling that TV programmes maybe affected running through the X1 where it is juddery a bit when panning, the only way for me to test would be to plug the V+ in direct and retest though, so may do this tomorrow, anyone else notice anything different when watching TV?

I had another issue, i was playing Fifa and without saying a single word it recorded a game clip. It did this twice. Then when i wanted it to record it didnt. Not sure what happened

Where is your connect located? Maybe try calibrating it again.
