Anyone know if you can be logged in on the 360 and X1 at the same time on a GT?

Yea I believe they confirmed one profile can be signed into one 360 and a One at the same time

So I misunderstood what all the noise about the xbox one's optical port was about yesterday morning, I thought people were pissed cause the xbox one was limited to 5.1 but it turns out we're not even going to have 5.1 at launch.  The post below was from an MS employee that posted on neogaf.

Dolby Digital is coming post launch. This was a SW scheduling issue pure and simple, and I know people are disappointed, but we will have it. 


Anyone with an HDMI receiver should be fine, as we pass the uncompressed 5.1 and 7.1 through HDMI as well as DTS. Even if you have a Dolby only HDMI receiver (which I'm not sure exists), you will still get 5.1 or 7.1 sound since those receivers should accept uncompressed surround. 


For the Dolby only headsets, my understanding is that these will work but you will only get stereo audio since we only pass Stereo and DTS through the optical port. I have not tested this myself, but I'm told it works. Regardless, I understand this is an inconvenience, but again we're going to have Dolby coming.


This is unrelated to the HDMI-IN "Surround Sound" beta. To clarify, we default HDMI-IN audio to be converted to Stereo. However, we do have a feature you can access in TV settings/Troubleshooting that enables Surround Sound in "beta" form. If you check the box, and you get Surround, you're golden. We found some inconsistencies in STB's during testing and decided to disable it by default to insure a good initial setup experience for people.

yea, don't know what MS is thinking but they have dropped a significant ball on this. I think its a by product of them being so far behind on the development coupled with the hard deadline for the console release. MS differs from Sony in that Sony just focused on making a gaming console with some small feature upgrades where MS set out to create a multimedia device thus having to focus on a lot of the extra features it promised. the features MS introduced with the XB1 probably required more time/effort as the stuff is a first for the gaming world.

Also, it looks like a lot of 3rd party developers will be pissed because of the fact that MS's support of headsets will be limited to wireless until some time after Christmas. The "Puck" accessory that allows for users to connect devices to the controller isn't slated to release until after the holidays.

@iyen man at this point im not even sure if respawn will deliver with titanfall.

Waking up to an email notifying you that your XB1 has shipped has me on cloud nine! BTW I never got the email with the coupon from Gs so I went to the store with my receipt and was still denied the coupon! Went to BB to trade it in and just pay 20 bucks for it and the guy hooked me up with the $10 coupon they were giving out for the ghosts trade in! Always hated dealing with GS and this further solidifies that. Thank tou BB for retaining my business!

Why would you think that? People that have played ryse since the beginning pretty much said it was meh where as titanfall has continually own game of shows and been loved by the people who played it

you can always return the console then apply the $100 gc.

that said, ill never preorder a console with BB again. the periodic authorization of funds is stupid.

 

[mrdeeds]

For anyone that doesn't want to sit around all day friday waiting for delivery or would feel more comfortable knowing exactly where the package is if you've got work or school, call ups and have them hold the package for you and you should be able to pick it up friday morning or any other time of the day thats convenient for you.

Nothing worse than when ups just leaves a $500 package in plain sight with the word amazon plastered all over it.

PREPARING FOR SHIPMENT 

 

[JCMojica24]

These reviews for Ryse are making me wanna exchange it for something else! Already got FIFA, 2K and Battlefield for PS4 and DR3, COD and Forza so I might get AC4 although I haven't ever played a since AC game. Decisions decisions!

[ultralightbeam]

Still waiting on Amazon to update the status of my order.

 

[Deleted member 37754]

Watching that video, all I thought about is how fat that guy is. Shrug.

 

[MVP]

Meh, looks like just Forza and Killer Instinct right now. I want to do DR3, but only if we can do some co-op from people on here

 

[t4t3r]

Wanted to pick up ryse but don't think I can pull the trigger with those reviews. Have Ghosts will try to pick up Forza and AC4 during Walmarts sale tomorrow morning.

 

[Bonafide]

Is best buy or gamestop my best bet for tonight? I didn't pre order.

Pick up AC instead of Ryse.

That is your best option, one of them at least.

Or just save your money.

The normal process is that UPS has to at least make one delivery attempt and that's usually specified by the shipper so good luck getting them to hold the package before they make an attempt.
