I cannot find any other relevant options for log in. I just checked again.
- is there anyway to make it auto-sign in without having to use kinect? i just want to turn on my x1 and NOT have to click sign in and pick my account.
fyi, all games for xbox1 are $50 right now on amazon.
I don't think so? I think the only option was to save your password and to setup a passcode. I haven't been very impressed with the Kinect stuff so far. I turned on the automatic login, and even though my Kinect has been setup, it doesn't work. It won't recognize me when I'm sitting on my couch like they showed in the videos. Well, it sort of recognizes me, but not well at all while I'm sitting down. Now, I've said before that I sit far from my TV (about 11-12 feet), so I decided to try moving closer. I switched to my chair, which is only about 5-6 feet away (I have a rather rectangular living room :|), but oddly enough... it wouldn't recognize me at all when sitting down. Also, the whole "XBOX On" thing doesn't work even though I enabled it....
When I synced my second controller I pressed the sync button on the controller until it flashed then pressed and held the one on the console. Seemed to work after a couple seconds. I dont know the correct order or another method. It did take some manipulation to get working.
Here are Microsoft's official instructions:

Did you hear a weird noise when you hit the XBOX One's connect button? I'm pretty certain I did what the instructions said, but who knows... maybe I didn't hold a button down for long enough or something. I didn't see any indicator on the X1 about whether it was looking for devices similar to how the 360 would spin its controller connection LEDs.
Just a head's up, voice controls work much better when you raise your voice and enunciate. I've found it to be 10x more responsive if I just speak at an average volume and naturally.
I downloaded it, but have yet to try it. There are other games that currently have my attention.Did anyone try kinect sports rivals preseason?
There's Kinect Sports Rivals, Killer Instinct, FIFA 14, and NBA Live 14.Is it just me or are there virtually no demos available? I was hoping to have some games I could try out.
Did anyone try kinect sports rivals preseason? It was supposed to be ready for launch but they pushed it, so they released a trial or something. I'd like to hear opinions on how the kinect does with it. I think it's like wave race or something.
i just want to re-iterate that i cannot believe how the hell double helix did the netcode on killer instinct. it is literally baffling me right now thinking about how it is so good. my buddy was over earlier and we played offline, and i was just online playing a match with a random person for 20 matches and if i didn't know better i woulda thought it was my friend sitting my room. like pulling off 70+ hit combos online no problem like there is no lag ... simply incredible.
on another note, i don't like how there is no "recent players" list in your friend manager. i wanted to send that guy a friend request and message but i went to it and found no recent player list so i'm not sure wtf is up with that.
I took the time tonight to get the Kinect coded for my TV, audio receiver and DirecTV box. I can now say "Xbox, turn off" and it will turn off the One, my TV and receiver. I can also say "Xbox, volume up" and it'll crank the sound up two notches (I'll continue to use my DirecTV remote for volume though).
However, I've ran into two problems. First, it will not control my DirecTV HR23-700 at all. It has codes for the device but it just will not work. It's already picky just with the remote so it's not surprising the IR blaster can't seem to find it. Not a big deal I guess, since I seriously doubt I would use voice to look through channels (although telling it to go directly to a channel would be nice).
Second, the first time I issued "Xbox on", it switched on the Xbox One, TV and receiver, which was awesome. But, I got no video, only sound. My TV saw a signal and didn't complain, but it was just black. I could hear the UI swooping sounds as it logged me in. I tried hitting some buttons on the controller but got nothing. It suddenly decided to start working about a minute and half in. I tried turning it off and back on a couple more times and it worked fine after that, however if this thing doesn't work the first time every time, my wife won't buy into it.
I showed her how turning on the Xbox by voice, controller or pressing the button on the console would also turn on the TV and audio, which has normally taken two remote controls. She wasn't as impressed as I was but she does like the idea of getting rid of two remotes. With my setup now, I can turn on the Xbox One in three different way, then just use my DirecTV remote for channels.
The one thing left that I would configure if I could is to have the One default to full-screen TV when it turns on. Right now, it goes to your home screen with whatever app you had running last in the main square. I would rather it show TV normally.
That happened to me last night. I had just gone into settings and set it up to turn on my receiver, so I thought maybe I had inadvertently messed up a setting or something. I went ahead and did the reset (hold down power and eject to turn it on). I wasn't patient enough, so I don't know if it would've come back after a couple of minutes.Second, the first time I issued "Xbox on", it switched on the Xbox One, TV and receiver, which was awesome.

They either got production going strong or demand isn't very good. They are in stock at every walmart in a 60 mile radius. Good news for me, not so sure for Microsoft.
