Video Shows Xbox One Startup Setup Screen, Stuck In Loading Loop

4.6

With the Xbox One showcased at multiple events, it’s quite inevitable that we’re going to see more and more videos showcasing bits and pieces of the Xbox One UI, and also a bunch of problems here and there. As we already explained multiple times demo units don’t really work in nominal operational conditions, so they’re much more likely to incur in some issues than the console you’ll have in your living room.

It’s normal and it shouldn’t be taken as a signal of a widespread problem, even more so in this case, considering that the connectivity problem could be caused by a large variety of elements independent from the console itself.
This time we get a video from YouTube user Sam Clark, recorded at the Area One event in London. Apparently the unit he filmed could not connect to the network and was stuck in an endless look, also booting up a couple times.

The most interesting part of the video, though is the startup setup screen that lets you choose language and location (at the 0:56 mark) and a small glimpse on the UI on the nearby console at 7:29 when the game pauses to wait for the other player.

Just as a note in passing, the grey screen that says “No Cable Connected” at 3:40 is not part of the Xbox One UI, but it actually belongs to that of the TV.

You can check the full video out, and a few screencaps showing the relevant elements in the gallery just under the clip, if you don’t want to wait through all the loading. If you do watch the video, try not to laugh as the user attempts to speed up the process by giving the console a few “love pats”. If only they really worked like that…

Pool Playstation fan boys just need to get over the fact that the Xbox is far more superior than the Playstation.. The Xbox has had 3 generations, while the Playstation is now on their 4th.. Pretty sad if you ask me.

Your kidding right? The only reason playstation has more gens is its been around longer than the xbox. I would gladly send you a copy of the final specs of each system, then you can judge the quality for yourself.

LOL not only that bf4 is @ 1080-p on ps4 and 720 on the one and this is now confirmed so how is that superior? superior as in more games? yes xbox has that since m$ throws money at devs but as far as power ps4 is better
no don't waist your time. Xbox players don't understand FPS and Native Resolutions. They just listen to what the CEOs at Microsoft tell them.

*waste and I'm sure there is only one CEO at Microsoft?

oh snap, right i did spell that wrong i was typing so fast i didn' pay attention. and there are multiple different CEOs at a company like microsoft there are alot of divisions.

KAQ Ahah they have failed already :/

Did you even read the article? It clearly states that these problems are normal in demo units. This is something that we shouldn't worry about.

If that is the starting up screen then that is boring compared to the xbox 360

Note The amount of stupid and childish comments on this is unbelievable, same for other articles, both for PS4 and Xbox one. People need to grow up.
They both have very identical specs now.
They're both consoles to play games.
It's down to personal preference.
The only difference is price and that's because of Kinect. So what.
Each have their own Exclusive games.
Xbox has better online service and features.

This isn't the final product. Of course there is issues. Just like there is on PS4.

Why must people argue over something so pointless? "Oh that's terrible because I love PS" "This is going to be crap because PS get hacked all the time" and so on. Sigh.

Simple answer to your question, the majority of people on this website is either 10 or younger or have the maturity level of a 10 year old.

dubljay The post above means nothing....."Hey THETECHGAME.COM", why don't you stop being so BIASED and look up problems on BOTH systems....it's easily called "YOUTUBE" and here's a video of the PS4 dashboard freezing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zJa973sIDo or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyUJIQBMna4 or

Im going to leave the graphics part to the ps4 because even i admit that xbone cant compete yet. anyways, thats about all that the ps4 can outmatch the xbone with. what else ? hardware ? no, xbone's Cloud software makes up for the Hardware that it doesn't have and can also be upgraded witch will be extremely good in the future. The costumer service sucks with Sony to be honest. I mean come on ! PSN got hacked like twice and one time they had to shut down everything for 1 or more months. Im not saying that Xbone is better than the Ps4, Im saying that they're not that big of a difference towards each other. balanced if you ask me. Although i do think that in the Long run xbone will have better features than it does now. alot better thanks to cloud. Plus you will be able to run most of Windows 8 apps.f*ck it ill get both. but the xbone first.
