I use it but for 149 I'd be fine without it if I copped one without the kinect

 

[blastercombo]

150 is a joke

$500 for an xb1 and kincet
$550 for a stand alone xb1 and kinect.
Lol wut?

 

[blastercombo]

100 is already OD really. the jig is up, everyone knows kinect games are garbage. They're selling a 150 mic at this point

 

[memphissfinest]

I couldn't imagine using my One without the Kinect now.

SAME.

yeah below $100 would've been great. MS really screwed over their Kinect developers tho. It sucks if devs were making games for kinect and to have it as optional for the x1 won't be great for them

 

[blastercombo]

Well it's really a combination of the two.


1. The OG kinect DIDNT WORK. It was such a useless wad of garbage

2. The games that came out for it were garbage. They were so linear. They basically sold $60 wii sports demo games but they weren't even as good :x

[shottadru]

All the cats who bought one without a kinect and are salty about their friends saying "Xbox, Record that" all the time and they swear they got better clips but cant proove it

That's what they get for being cheap.

Wait so if I purchase a stand alone Xbox 1 without the Kinect, I can't record my gameplay footage?

Might have to invest with one that has it then.

A kinect isn't required to record gameplay footage.

The kinect is mainly for improving the User Interface experience and supposedly play "games" with.

have your xbox speeds increased since using the external HD vs. regular xbox storage?

 

[putting in work]

Wait so the XB1 supports external HDD use now?

I thought that wasn't coming until the holidays or early next year.

I made some comparison timings for the 4 Tb Fandom 7200 RPM USB 3.0 External Hard which can be purchased on amazon.com here Amazon product ASIN B00A0HZUB2[1] . When installed, the Xbox One allowed 3.6 Tb of available storage from the hard drive. This drive has a flashing blue LED that can be blocked off with electrical tape. It gets quite warm, but that is to be expected from a fanless drive in an aluminum case.

All times are calculated starting from the Games & Apps screen on the Xbox One Home screen and were closed out from the Quit option after pressing the Menu button on a windowed game screen. Some of the times are broken down from start up to reaching the Main Menu and others are from start up through going to the Main Menu then into loading an actual singleplayer or multiplayer game. My less than desirable bandwidth speed may also affect some of the multiplayer loading times.

Unless otherwise noted, I did not skip any opening cutscenes or logos animations so times can be cut even further for both internal/external by skipping these loading screens.

Currently, you can save and play games from your external hdd.

In the sept update, you'll be able to play media files from your exterbal hdd.

 
Wait can you do "Xbox record that" without the kinect? 

Yes.

 
Pin your games DVR to the dashboard, then whenever you do something worth recording, just hit the home button and open it. It'll snap to the side, then just select 'end clip now' and you can record the last 30/45 seconds! I use it quite a lot. Don't want to be shouting out 'Xbox record that!' at 3am..

Edit* You can record up to the last 5 minutes, but you shouldn't need more than 45 seconds for a single clip

Whats up NT,

Finally was able to cop a Xbox One a few weeks ago, All my friends that were on the 360 seem to have tranfer to the PS4, but i love microsoft too much to make the change, now I feel all alone on the Xbox one lol.

Anywho currently have NBA 2k15, Call Of Duty ghost, and Titanfall, and it kinda sucks playing dolo so add me my GT is Spectacular89

Also recommend me some good games...

 

[putting in work]

Why did MS put the damn USB ports on the back and side of the console?

What if you want to play with a wired controller...

And now that you can use a external HDD and you have to constantly plug and unplug the external HD and it's going to be a pain if your Xb1 is in an enclosed area.

game launches are slightly faster. Not mind blowing and they are only noticeable "side by side".. on XBL last night a friend of mine and I both launched BF4 and mine was ready like 6 seconds faster... meh. No big deal imo

Wait can you do "Xbox record that" without the kinect? 

Well obviously u can't say it... u have to use the game dvr app and screw around with it snapped. It's a horrible user experience.

I use a plug and play it's never been and issue since I never unplug the cable that is plugged into the side of my console.

Also, my external drive is plugged into the back and sits on top of the left side of my console. Where would I put it if I plugged it into the front? Same thing I do with my 360... I don't want a plug in the front then loop it around the front onto the top of the console... looks ugly
