9 Things to do when you get you Xbox One:

Got your shiny new Xbox One? Welcome to the next-gen party! But even once you've plugged it in, set up Kinect, downloaded the chunky day one update and tried out the new 'Xbox On' voice command, you aren't quite as ready to go as you could be.

In fact, there are numerous things to do to get your Xbox One off the ground running, and to help you out, we've tracked down the nine most important.

Download the Blu-ray Player app

bluray -
Unlike Xbox 360, Xbox One is able to play back Blu-ray discs and movies. But in order to do so, you'll need to download the app from the Xbox Store. The app is free and quick to download, but you'll need to head over to the App Store to grab it.

While on the Home screen, simply tap RB, select the Apps store and then search for 'Blu-ray Player'. Once downloaded you'll be able to play back Blu-rays directly through the app.

Download Audio CD Player, Xbox Video & all the other necessary apps

xbox video -
While you're in the App Store, you may as well download all of the other apps required to get the most out of your console. There are plenty of apps available on day one and practically everything on Xbox One requires its own in order to function: the Audio CD Player app is required to play audio CDs, while the Xbox Video one will let you browse the latest movies to rent or buy. There are also apps for YouTube, 4OD, Netflix, Skype and more available to download at launch.

If you want to edit and share your recorded gameplay clips with friends on Xbox LIVE, Facebook or YouTube, Upload Studio is a must, too. Like the apps mentioned above, Upload Studio is free and quick to install, and once downloaded you'll be able to trim your clips, add effects and upload your videos to a SkyDrive account or Xbox LIVE.

Try the Speech Tutorial app...

xbox one dashboard -
You may only use it once, but if you'd like a quick introduction to the range of voice commands available via Kinect, the Speech Tutorial download is a good place to start. Available from the App Store, Speech Tutorial is free and won't take up too much space on your hard drive, but it can provide some helpful tips on navigating the Xbox One interface with your voice.

Or turn off Kinect

kinect11 -
Alternatively, if you'd rather not use Kinect at all you can turn it off by heading into the Settings menu. From there, select Kinect and untick 'Kinect On'.

You can also choose to disable Kinect for voice chat if you'd rather stick to a headset for those online conversations, and if you're intrigued to see what Kinect is looking at, you're able to take a look at exactly what Kinect can see by flicking through the various camera shots.

Install your games to the hard drive even if you don't plan on playing them straight away

untitled 01 5 -
If you have your Xbox One running in the background, make use of the time by installing your games to the hard drive. All games require installation and some can take a fair amount of time to install off the disc. Unlike Xbox 360, the game will install as soon as the disc is placed in the console, and if you ever want to uninstall it hit the Options button (the equivalent to the Xbox 360's Start button) and select the uninstall option.

A word of warning, though: our pre-release Xbox One wasn't able to install a game while downloading another title from the Xbox Games Store, so try to avoid installing a disc while downloading something from the store.

Pin your favourite games and apps to the Home screen

untitled 01 2 -
Even the most hardcore Xbox 360 fan may find the Xbox One's user interface fairly overwhelming at first glance. So to help you get around, it's worth pinning your favourite games and apps directly to the Home screen.

To pin a game or app, head to My Games & Apps from the home screen, then hit the Options button and select 'Pin to Home'. To access the Pins screen, simply tap LB when you're on the main Home menu.

Enable surround sound for TV playback

untitled 01 4 -
If you have a surround sound home cinema setup and are planning on connecting your cable or set top box into the Xbox One's HDMI In, you'll need to activate surround sound in the Settings menu.

In order to do so head to the Settings menu, then select 'TV & One Guide', 'Troubleshooting', and tick the option for 'Surround Sound (Beta)'. Because the functionality is still in beta, be aware that you may run into some problems depending on your device.

Theme your Home screen

home us 3p -
While you can't customise the background image or select a theme, you can change the colour of the tiles on the Home screen. There are 21 colours to choose from, including different shades of reds, greens, blues and greys, and your selection is tied to your profile, meaning other users on the same Xbox can theme their Home screen whichever way they want.

To choose your colour, select your Profile from the Home screen, click 'My Profile' and then 'Choose Colour'.

Set your 1080p Gamerpic

profile us -
Wave goodbye to that tiny Gamerpic: Xbox One introduces new full screen, 1080p Gamerpics. To choose, head back to your profile settings as detailed above but select 'Set Gamerpic'. From here you'll be able to choose from a selection or make a new one based on your avatar.

And that's it. There are plenty of other options hidden within the Xbox One's menus and all manner of voice commands available to quickly navigate through the interface and apps. Start exploring and you'll soon begin to get the hang of navigating your way around Xbox One.

The Xbox One: 33 Things You need To Know:

1. It works offline
This is the big one; although initially planned to be always-online, Microsoft has now changed it so that you only need a single patch to set up the console. After that, you can stay offline forever. You will, however, miss out on some of the more interesting features of the console and many of its games - although many online-focused titles, like Watch Dogs, will also work offline.

2. It can read your heart rate and your expression
The new version of Kinect that comes with every Xbox One is a vast improvement on the old one. It can track six people at once, with sufficient detail that it can identify facial expressions (including who's paying attention and who's not) and heart rate.

3. You can find the perfect opponent while playing something else
Now, finding players involves getting in a lobby and waiting. On Xbox One, the new Party Scout means you can specify what you want: hunt for people with specific DLC, age, skill level or language. You can then leave it hunting and switch to something else, like TV or the web, while it finds someone.

4. You will be able to use the same Gamertag
Your Gamertag, Friends List and Achievements will all roll over to Xbox One. If you're keeping both consoles, you will be able to use the same sign-in details on both the Xbox 360 and Xbox One, and the price of Xbox Live isn't going to be changing either.

5. You can access your digital games from any console
While it's not quite as comprehensive as first planned, you can still sign in to any console and access all your digital games, as you can on Xbox 360. The difference is you can now buy retail games digitally on the day of release, so you can access, say, Skyrim from any console you like. Streaming tech means you can start playing instantly without waiting for a download, too.

6. It captures video of your greatest gaming moments
The new Game DVR feature keeps a rolling video of the last five minutes of gameplay, so you can share it online or with your friends. Some games - probably the Microsoft-published ones - come complete with an Upload Studio feature that lets you edit clips and add effects or voiceover before uploading.

7. Trolls are filtered out
An update to Xbox 360's rather tired five-star reputation system means that persistently unpleasant people are filtered out so that they can only play with each other. A fitting punishment, we're sure you'll agree.

8. It's dead silent
Honestly. We've sat with it in a faintly terrifying super-max soundproof room in Microsoft's hardware development lab, and even then we could barely hear it running.

9. It can tell who's holding the controller
Another bonus of the new Kinect: because the device is smart enough to recognise different people, it is able to identify exactly who's holding the controller at any given time. So when you pass the control pad to a new Trials player, for instance, it'll know whose score it needs to update.

10. The dash tells you your Achievement progress
Games can now show how close you are to unlocking Achievements before you start playing, and show how close your Friends are to getting them too. It's tied to GameDVR, so you can even watch videos of the moment they were unlocked.

11. It won't play Xbox 360 games...
Because it's all-new hardware inside, you can't play Xbox 360 games on it, and your XBLA titles won't work either - or at least, not yet. Although Microsoft is "exploring ways to bring gamers' favourite content to the new Xbox," it has nothing to announce yet.

12. ...although you can connect your Xbox 360 to it
Xbox One has an HDMI input, which means that you can plumb in anything that has an HDMI output. It's supposed to be for cable boxes, but you can also use it to run your Xbox 360 through the console rather than going to the effort of switching the TV input. Because obviously, that is a huge hassle.

13. Games' Achievements can be updated
Developers can monitor how a game is being played and add Achievements after it has been released, without requiring updates or having to add extra downloadable content. There are still budgets to contend with, though - like with current DLC, there's only a fixed amount of Gamerscore that can be added to a game per quarter.

14. There's a new kind of Achievement
The new 'Challenges' are time-based, not tied to one game, and can be designed for mass use. For instance, a Challenge might require all players to rack up a million headshots in a weekend. Because they're time-based, they don't award Gamerscore - just new unlocks like maps, character items or artwork.

15. Kinect works in smaller rooms
Here's another reason to give the new Kinect a chance: it's got a wider field of vision than the old one, which means it's able to fit more easily into the diminished dimensions of the typical UK living room. Although we've still yet to try it out in the real world, it seems like it will work with around four feet of space in front of the television, rather than current Kinect's recommendation of six.

16. One Xbox Gold account works for every user
If you have an Xbox Live Gold subscription on your account, any other account on the same console can use all the benefits of Gold - including online multiplayer and most apps.

17. It comes with a headset, but Kinect can hear you fine
The new directional microphone in Kinect can isolate background sound very effectively. Paired with the ability to see who's holding the controller, it can focus in on your voice even if other people are speaking - and pick you out over the background noise of the game, so you don't have to shout. The console also comes with a headset, for those Xbox Live chitchats you'd rather other people didn't hear.

18. It creates a personalised, ad-free home screen
An Amazon-esque learning system tracks the games you play, movies you watch and people you talk to, and updates the home screen to show what's relevant (including the game you last played, of course). There aren't any ads on the home screen, either, although there will still be ads elsewhere in the interface.

19. Updates will install without bothering you
If you've got a permanent internet connection, it'll download and install updates when you aren't using the console. No more waiting at startup.

20. You can have over 1,000 people on your Friends list
And counting. The new cloud-powered Live means that there's no hard limit as on Xbox 360.

21. It's got 20 exclusive games - and counting
The current list of Xbox One exclusives includes: Ryse, Dead Rising 3, Forza 5, Kinect Sports Rivals, Killer Instinct, D4, a new Halo, Below, Quantum Break, Sunset Overdrive, Crimson Dragon and Black Tusk's new game. There's also LocoCycle, Titanfall, Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare, Project Spark, Zoo Tycoon and Powerstar Golf, which will come to Xbox 360 as well. Expect still more at Gamescom.

22. Achievements give more than Gamerscore
Completing activities can also grant you things like artwork, map unlocks, character unlocks or in-game items. Every app can do this, not just games - although only games grant Gamerscore.

23. You can (still) create your own custom soundtracks
A small but important point: this has been part of Xbox gaming since the very beginning, and we'd hate to miss it. Plus, it's a whole lot better now: you can run the music player as a background app and switch instantly between it and the game whenever you choose.

24. It'll automatically recognise you - even in your friend's house
Kinect will recognise your face and sign you in on your own Gamertag, so you don't have to pick it from a list. If you sign in on a friend's Xbox One, it'll save that information so the next time you're there, it'll be able to recognise you straight away.

25. It turns on at the sound of your voice
The system is designed to be always on, in a low-power state, whenever it's not being used. Which means you can activate it just by walking into the room and saying "Xbox, on".

26. You can talk to it normally
On Xbox 360, before you are able to issue voice commands to the system, you have to wake Kinect up and then read a menu prompt off a screen. On Xbox One, you can just say "Xbox on" to wake your console and then just make a request - like "Xbox, what's everybody playing?".

27. It's not region-locked
You can play any game from any country - assuming the game's publisher hasn't restricted it. Don't everybody start importing terrible US hunting games at once, now.

28. SmartGlass is fast enough to work as a game controller
Up to sixteen devices running the free Smartglass app can be connected at once, with a fraction of the latency you'll experience using SmartGlass on Xbox 360. Just imagine the poker potential.

29. You can add hard drive space, but not at launch
The 500GB capacity is generous, but digital purchases will fill it eventually. Microsoft plans to let you plug in any USB hard drive or storage device, either using the slot on the side of the console or the two on the back. This feature won't be available at launch, however.

30. You can watch TV and play games simultaneously
If you want to, anyway. You can use the Snap function to pin the TV view to the side of the screen while the game gets the rest of it. Perfect for not letting that all-important episode of Emmerdale conflict with your Dead Rising playthrough.

31. It extends to your phone or tablet, for free
SmartGlass is already available for Xbox 360 - you can use it to control the interface or to type text messages. On Xbox One it steps up to offering things like Achievement advice, gameplay tips, or as an additional multiplayer controller.

32. You can chat as you play
Built-in Skype video and voice calls can be answered - or ignored - as you play games. Probably best to leave it on "voice only" for those long family chats mid-CoD.

33. You can stream games as you play
Built-in support for Twitch TV means you can stream any game live to viewers online, and watch others in kind, though you'll only be able to view streams at launch. Microsoft will update the app to support broadcasting later.

Understand And Manage Storage On Xbox One:

Xbox One keeps all your data up to date by synchronizing with Xbox Live. You no longer need to make a decision about whether to save something locally or in the cloud your data is stored in both places automatically. Saved games, app data, and your preferences are immediately available when you sign in to any Xbox One console.


Solutions/Topics

How much storage do I have?

Whats stored on my hard drive, and whats stored in the cloud?

How can I check my free space?

Can I use a flash drive or an external hard drive?


Questions With Answers:

How much storage do I have?

The Xbox One is equipped with a 500-gigabyte (GB) internal hard drive. Most of this space is available for storing games and apps, though some is reserved for saved games, console software, and other important system functions.

Whats stored on my hard drive, and whats stored in the cloud?

Your data is stored to both your hard drive and the cloud simultaneously. Xbox Live keeps your important data in sync so you dont lose anything when you use a friend or family members console, or even when you switch to a new console.

Note: A regular connection to Xbox Live is required to keep your data in sync. Playing offline may cause your cloud data to become out of date. Your data refreshes each time you connect to Xbox Live.

How can I check my free space?

Xbox One monitors your available hard drive space. When it starts to fill up, a message appears warning you that youre low on space. These messages are stored in Notifications.You can check to see if you have any unread messages by sayingXbox, go to notifications or by selecting the notifications icon at the top of Home screen.

If you dont have any notifications, it means you have plenty of free space. If you are running low on space, try deleting unused or seldom-used content.

Can I use a flash drive or an external hard drive?

No. The Xbox One does not support external storage devices.

Taking control of your Xbox One - privacy, storage and power usage:

The Xbox One is set to automate a number of features for fuss-free enjoyment, including automatic Game DVR and SmartGlass sign-in, but if you'd rather have more say over its activities, there a number of settings you can fiddle with. Here are seven tips to bear in mind.

1. How to manage your Xbox One storage space

There isn't really any way to manually manage your console's hard drive storage as you could with the Xbox 360. However, your Xbox One will notify you when your local storage (that is, anything that isn't stored on the cloud) is near full capacity. Some Blu-rays and discs will require you to download extra content, and you can choose to clear this via the Disc and Blu Ray panel in your settings menu. You can also delete individual games and apps at any time by pressing the Menu button on your controller whilst hovering over their panel in My Games & Apps and selecting the Delete option.

2. How to set a different power mode

Your Xbox One has two different power modes, Instant-On and an Energy-Saving setting, which can be changed by going into your Settings panel, then Power & Start Up. Instant-On will allow you to turn the system on and off using voice commands, automatically downloads updates whilst you're away from your console, turns the TV and set-top box on along with the Xbox One, and enables much faster start-up times. You can disable any of these individual options by unchecking the box next to them in the Power & Start Up menu. Energy Saving mode will cut down on your power consumption, obviously, but the above features will be disabled.

3. How to turn Disc and Blu-Ray auto-play on and off

If you don't want the Xbox One to automatically load up a game or Blu-ray disc as soon as you load it into the drive, you can disable this in the Disc & Blu-ray sub-menu of the Settings panel. In the same menu, you can also turn the Resume Playback feature on and off, if you don't want a movie to go back to the last point played every time you load it up.

4. How to turn automatic game DVR on and off

If you don't want your Xbox One to automatically record a clip when you unlock an achievement (something certain games may do for certain achievements), you can turn off this feature by unchecking the box in your Preferences menu. If you've done something particularly cool and don't want to lose it, however, you can still quickly say "Xbox, record that" to capture your last 30 seconds of gameplay.

5. How to remove an Xbox Live account from your console

If you want to remove someone's profile from your sign-in options (say a friend signed in to your Xbox One as a one-off, for example), there's the option to delete an account from your console on the far right in Settings. The account will still exist elsewhere, of course, and you can choose to re-add it again at any time. If you're signing into a console that isn't your own, you can also make sure that any subsequent sign-in requires your Xbox Live password, just like you can on the Xbox 360.

6. How to limit the number of SmartGlass connections

In your Xbox One preferences tab, you can limit which Smartglass devices the console will connect to. The three options are any SmartGlass device, only those whose profiles are already on the console, or none at all. That'll teach your friend for trying to mess with your console remotely.

7. How to turn Kinect on and off

If you want to make absolutely sure that no-one in that multiplayer game of Battlefield 4 can hear you swearing at them, you can turn off Kinect-enabled chat by unchecking the appropriate box in the Kinect sub-menu in your Xbox One's settings panel. That'll ensure that you'll only be heard if you have a chat headset hooked up to the console. You can also disable the sensor entirely in settings (the white Xbox logo on the front will glow when it's active) or simply unplug it.

The Xbox One Launch - What You Need To Know:


Microsofts latest video game console is out now as of Friday, November 22, and the next generation of video games has finally become the current. If you havent pre-ordered an Xbox One, you probably wont be able to get one easily for a while, but thats okay! Picking a new video game console should be considered a major decision, and a lot of research should be done before you drop $500 on a new machine. If youre not ready to jump into the next generation of gaming, Ive compiled a list of things one should know about the Xbox One, just like I did with the PlayStation 4.
How much does the Xbox One cost?
The Xbox One will retail for $499.99
Whats in the box?
The Xbox One Day One launch bundle includes an Xbox One system, a wireless controller, a headset, an HDMI cable, the power cable, a free 14-day trail of Xbox Live Gold, and the new Kinect camera (the reason for the $100 price difference compared to PS4).
What ports are on the Xbox One?
The Xbox One features a power port, an HDMI-out, an HDMI-in, three USB ports (one on the left side of the console), digital audio out, an Ethernet port, and a port for the Kinect. Like the PS4, the Xbox One is HDMI only, so make sure your TV accepts that input!
How about Internet connectivity?
The Xbox One supports both Wi-Fi and wired Internet via the Ethernet port.
Is the hard drive upgradeable?
Sort of, but not at launch. The included 500 GB hard drive is not removable, but the system will be updated later to use external hard drives via USB. If youre tech savvy, you can disassemble the console and replace the hard drive yourself, as it is a standard 2.5-in SATA II drive, but doing so will void your warranty.
What colors are available at launch?
Just black. White systems were exclusive to Microsoft employees.
Can the Xbox One stand upright in a vertical position?
No, the Xbox One is designed only to play in a horizontal, flat position.
What can you do with the new Kinect?
The new Kinect is vastly improved over the original. Improvements have been made both to the motion sensing capabilities and voice activated control. Kinects user tracking features work more effectively now, whether the user is sitting down or standing up, and can now track users as close as 4.6 feet from the camera.
You will be able to navigate various menu options directly with your voice, jumping straight to system options that you would normally have to navigate to through multiple screens. If you hook up a cable or satellite box to the Xbox One, Kinect can also be used to control your TV. Many games will support voice control as well. The Kinect can also be used to scan in QR codes for times such as Xbox Live subscriptions and pre-order bonuses.

Does the Kinect need to be plugged in for the console to function?
No. The console will maintain some functionality without the Kinect plugged in.
How does multitasking work?
Probably one of the most interesting things about the Xbox One is the Snap feature. Youll be able to seamlessly switch between games, TV, the Internet, and other system features without interrupting gameplay. If you do decide to take a break from a game, games are put into a suspend mode that you can resume at anytime. Even after turning the console off, you can resume your game right from where you left off next time you turn the system on. No need to wait for load or boot screens!
Will the Xbox One require a software update at launch?
Yes. You will not be able to play any games on the system until youve connected the system to the Internet and updated it.
Does the Xbox One require an online check-in every 24 hours?
No, Microsoft removed this security measure quite some time ago after consumer outcry. Once the initial update is installed, youll be able to keep your Xbox One offline for offline features, including offline games.
Can I play Xbox 360 games on Xbox One?
No. There is no backwards compatibility with Xbox 360 games or Xbox Live Arcade games meant for the Xbox 360.
Can I use an Xbox 360 controller on the Xbox One?
No. The Xbox One only supports Xbox One controllers.
What discs does the Xbox One play?
The Xbox One should be able to play Xbox One game discs, DVDs, Blu-rays, and audio CDs, though some of these may require free apps available on the Xbox online marketplace.
All Xbox One disc games must be installed to the hard drive to play them.

Does the Xbox One support MP3 playback?
Not at launch. A system update is supposedly coming post-launch that will allow you to play music from a USB stick.
Do I have to pay to play online?
Yes. Just like with the Xbox 360, you will need an Xbox Live Gold subscription to play online and access additional services on the Xbox One. If you already have a Gold subscription for the Xbox 360, it should carry over to the Xbox One. The Xbox One comes with a 14-day trial of Xbox Live Gold. Otherwise, it is $60 for a one-year subscription.
What does Xbox Live Gold get me?
Many of Xbox Ones online features are exclusive to Xbox Live Gold members.
In addition to playing games online, you can use streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, and Hulu Plus. However, you will also need to be subscribed to these services separately. Cloud game saves, Game DVR game recording functions, streaming to Twitch, Skype, and Internet Explorer all require an Xbox Live Gold subscription.

Will my Gamertag and Gamerscore transfer over to the Xbox One?
Yes.
What TV features does the Xbox One have?
The Xbox One has an additional HDMI-in port to plug your cable box into, allowing your Xbox to control your TV with the controller or Kinect voice commands. The Kinect will even act as an IR blaster to control your television itself.
Does the Xbox One support used games?
Yes. Microsoft has gone back on their original stance and will allow users to freely trade disc-based games.
Does the Xbox One have regional locks?
Not for games, but voice controls via the Kinect are limited languages associated with the systems region.
What Xbox One games will be available at launch?
In North America, the following game titles will be available for the Xbox One at launch:
Disc-based Games (also available for download):

Angry Birds Star Wars
Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag
Call of Duty: Ghosts
Dead Rising 3
FIFA 14
Fighter Within
Forza Motorsport 5
Just Dance 2014
LEGO Marvel Super Heroes
Madden NFL 25
NBA 2K14
NBA Live 14
Need for Speed: Rivals
Ryse: Son of Rome
Skylanders: Swap Force
Xbox Fitness
Zoo Tycoon
Zumba Fitness: World Party
Downloadable Games:
Crimson Dragon
Killer Instinct
LocoCycle
Powerstar Golf

Can I upgrade certain Xbox 360 games to work on the Xbox One?
GameStop is offering a limited time offer that allows you to trade in select Xbox 360 titles for $50 store credit towards the Xbox One version of that game.

How To Use The New Xbox One:
Microsoft has released a video tutorial describing how to use its new gaming console, the Xbox One. In the video, Marc Whitten and Yusuf Mehdi from the Microsoft Xbox team walk you through a comprehensive demo of Xbox One, including instant switching, biometric sign-in, Live TV, Skype, game DVR, and OneGuide. Microsoft's first new gaming console in eight years will go on sale November 22 in 13 countries, said Yusuf Mehdi, vice president of marketing, strategy and business for the Xbox. Microsoft is sticking to November 22 for its US launch date as it is the anniversary of the 2005 launch of the Xbox 360. The 13 markets set for a November launch are Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States and New Zealand. The launch has been delayed in some markets until 2014 to work on customising the user interface and translating software to native languages.

Constructive Criticism: reduce the font size, its overpowering and not user friendly

Other than that, if this info is all accurate this is a nice post!

Should I reduce the size? I thought if it were bigger it would look more user friendly so it would be easier to fine information...

How big should I make it? And Thank you for your feed back!


@ UNC and -Sins- Thank you guys for your feed back it means a lot!
