Today I mostly feel like jumping on my Xbox. The party set up is crap and i'm getting fed up of BF4 kicking me back to dashboard. As everyday passes I get closer and closer to trading it in for a PS4.

Do it

just to let people know i sorted out my nat problems but i did read that for some reason a lot of peoples nats that were open on the 360 now seem to be strict on the one.

mentioned it to my mate as we could never party chat and it turns out his nat settings was now strict after years of being open on his 360.

he changed his settings in router did a reboot and his nat is now open and we got into a party chat and multiplayer no problems tonight.

so just have a quick check guys only takes like 2 mins to check in your settings/network part of the dash

Its probably changed because the One needs more ports forwarded for Live than than previous Microsoft consoles.

I was set on the Xbox until the last couple of giantbomb podcasts, as time has gone on they have found more and more stuff of irritation and irrational decisions. A console underpowered to the competition but that's because it's designed to do so much more. Except it doesn't.

Games wise the only one they all seem to be having fun with is DR3.

The more I listen and the more I read it just seems half finished. Would it really have hurt them to wait until summer for a launch and had plenty of stock and bundles for a 2014 xmas launch?

I thought I'd try and get one after christmas but I will give it 6 months now. I'm trying my hardest to find reasons to stay with xbox and give them as much time as possible to sort out issues.

I think waiting till titan fall is the best thing to do. Hopefully the OS will be stable and the party/game invite system will be back to how they was!

Great, my xbox has died during the night.

What's the MS support page/number?

There was an update overnight and consoles on standby will have turned off.

Are you sure it's dead/dead?

Just ditch BF4 and enjoy xbox one only titles like ryse and dr3

Or Get Lego Marvel (I know it's cross platform).

Hulk smash puny sideburns!

My wife loves this game. Split screen co-op is also a lot of fun - although the screen can get very busy at times.

This is the route I would have gone with hindsight, in its current state it is a paid beta unit, but its still the place I want to game. Even with the issues I have with the controller, the OS bugs and the game bugs....it does still have the franchises and titles I want to play.

I just wish the thumb sticks on the DS4 were so damn good >.<

Anyone had the update? Mine is still on the old version.

Yep, the update must have powered it off, now it wont turn on at all.

Tried different plugs, unplugging the power brick, it's gone.

Excuse the small video (recorded on phone this morning), that's what happens.

Anti that sucks. Hope you can get it sorted soon.

Ingenious TROLL · 11 Dec 2013 at 09:04

I've sold my Xbox, piece of crap!

It does indeed, my copy of battlefield was supposed to arrive today as well.

Luckily I managed to get Dead Rising 3 out the drive.

Trying to explain it to the MS rep is going 'slowly' to say the least.

He doesn't appear to have watched my video, just keeps asking my how things are booting up....

Tingtangmakadingdong · 11 Dec 2013 at 09:17

Found this if you want to check the Xbox One OS versions

antijoke · 11 Dec 2013 at 09:19

Good find, I'll bookmark that for future updates.

What didn't you like about it? I think i am happy with mine, granted i still think it costs too much.

Think the only gripe i have at the moment is that im not too keen on the controller, my hands are too big for it. Much prefer the bigger xbox 360 controller. I am having tho press the LB and RB with the knuckle of my finger which is uncomfy.

Battlefield 4 was laggy as hell, including almost constant dashboard crashes. I had a total of 3 replacement controllers, all faulty, the disc drive worked only intermittently, and the performance in general seemed slow and tedious.

Going to stick with my PC tbh.

Seems a bit harsh selling a faulty unit on to someone

I agree with BF problem but that DICE's fault. Last night the US servers had better latency according to the naff in menu icon than any EU server by 5 bars to 2

...and they were still massively laggy.

Ha, I sold it to a company who apparently do repairs, and they were made aware the unit was not working to the expected standard, don't worry I am not that mean lol

but but......unless you really like killzone or have a great pc you need an xbox one until at least Feb. Then it's driveclub and infamous all the way.
