Xbox One: How to access the Developer settings menu
Now a YouTube video on the GameTuts channel has revealed a way to go ahead and turn any Xbox One into a development kit right now; the YouTube video below has the full procedure.
Having said that, a post on Reddit from an unnamed but confirmed developer of Xbox One games says that the method in the video really shouldn't be used, stating, "Please don't mess with anything here for the time being, especially the sandbox ID. You risk putting your box into a boot loop."
The same developer later posted that he had no idea when Microsoft would officially enable development kits from Xbox One units, stating, "There are many concerns such as privacy, security, stability etc.., that need to be sorted out before we can allow anyone and everyone to simply sideload an app onto their box."
So there you have it. If you really want to, you can turn your new Xbox One into a development kit just for fun, but you run the risk of bricking it. If you really want to make games and self-publish them on the console, your best bet is to sign up for Microsoft's official ID@Xbox program.

LavishWavelengthLavishInt Lol at microfail..... they just can't even make a secure system
How do you figure this isn't a secure system?
Do you even know what you're talking about?
I think what he means is Microsoft should have hidden the devkit menu a little better.
He is acting like it is a security risk to the console, degrading the integrity of the system.
Basically a PS fanboy doing what it takes to defend his console.
Just to add as well that the dev menu is made for indie game developers.

extfex My friend was explaining this to me on the train, shame you have to "brick"/deafult your xbox to get out of dev mode.
Well you are not supposed to be in the dev mode anyways...
actually did you read the article you are, just not yet. Microsoft said it'll be doable sometime after launch.
