Why don't you set it to auto update? I've never had to update my One, just does it when I'm not playing.

This. I never have to wait for an update. I'm not sure why anyone would!

Randles · Oct 20, 2014

I have got it enabled. I only received Forza 5 on the Saturday morning, put the disc in to install it, and install any updates whist I got on with other things, but at 14GB, I need over 12hrs to download an update of that size on my slow (2.5mbps) internet connection, unless there is a way to pre-download any updates when you don't have the disc yet?

It will be the same with Halo MCC with a 20GB update needed at launch, but at least I know that I need to install it a day before I want to play it.

N0ddie · Oct 20, 2014

There is no way (That I know of) to pre-emptively download updates for a game that your system hasn't yet seen you play.

Would be awesome though.

Has anyone used Plex with the Xbox One yet?
I'm considering getting one but the main reason would be to get everything streaming from my PC using Plex.

Plex is only for Plex pass members at the minute.

It will be available in a month or two for non Plex members for a one time fee of £4-5 according to something I read.

Ah I see. I'll look into it abit more tomorrow. I thought it'd be a free app.

I'm guessing you haven't used it yourself?

Not yet. I am still using Plex via my iPad to AppleTV. I made a small form PC yesterday with popcorn time on it, so may just stick Plex on that too. It just pisses me off that I have 5 different devices under the TV that all do more or less the same thing, but none is great at doing everything. I'm still hoping that the Xbox and Plex will be the answer....

Custom backgrounds is one of the features

Rhino172 · Oct 22, 2014

Custom backgrounds (you can use your own image off a usb stick or the images that come with Achievements as you unlock them)
Twitter integration
Some whizzy TV thing that will mainly benefit those in the US.
A few other minor changes to Internet explorer amung other things.

Can anyone explain to me, in simple terms, what I'm supposed to do with Plex? As far as I can work out its the same as Chromecast (which I have)? But then it says compatible with Chromecast. Wut?

Addicted · Oct 22, 2014

You can stream media from Plex via Chromecast iirc

As in the Chromecast extension from the browser/app?

If so that's f**king annoying! £30 wasted.

I'm pretty sure you can anyway, there's quite a few results on google (I don't have one but heard you can): http://www.foowebs.com/p107-How-to-use-Plex-with-Google-Chromecast

Is there any way of viewing/sharing the DVRs on PC? Can only watch them on my Xbox

Adamm. · Oct 26, 2014

How much do the download games cost? Specifically Forza 5. Not sure whether to buy the disk or just the xbox then download it onto hd.

DannyR · Oct 26, 2014

£39.99 for Forza 5

Danny133 · Oct 26, 2014

Pay postage and I'll sell you mine [emoji106] I've played it about twice!

Good write up on Sunset Overdrive over on IGN - 9/10
http://uk.ign.com/articles/2014/10/27/sunset-overdrive-review

I had cancelled the preorder in favour of Far Cry 4. Now re - preordered. Got that?

Too many good games coming out between now and Christmas. The GF has bought me the Master Chief Collection as well, which is nice.

It was easy really, she was tied to the bed, I threatened to put it in her ass unless she did an Amazon One click order.

Before I go into game and trade in I have Zoo Tycoon, battlefield and forza 5 going cheap to anyone ...

You need to upgrade then, where they're asking for you to do it

Shameless post here....

Anyone interested in buying COD:ghosts? Bought it, played it twice, realised how inferior it is to BF4 and now I don't play it. Mint condition. £20 plus P+P or pick up from Maidstone.

I ordered an Xbox One for my younger brother for Xmas which was supposed to come with COD and Sunset overdrive. Sunset overdrive came in the box but there's no sign of COD.
Does anyone know if you have to download it?
It's the day zero edition.

DannyR · Oct 31, 2014

Probably a code inside the box I'd imagine.

STRBramley · Oct 31, 2014

I can't find any. There's a code for Sunset Overdrive but not COD. The packaging has no reference to COD.

Marc. · Oct 31, 2014

Where did you order it from? Normally, if it's a bundle, it would have a picture of the CoD cover on it somewhere on the console box (I bought the FIFA 14 bundle and it has Messi's face plastered all over it).

Failing that, ring whoever you ordered it from, get them to send you a hard copy of the game?

AK · Oct 31, 2014

The first thing I'd definitely do is ask on the Internet. Definitely.

Never ask the retailer, they won't know

BRUN · Oct 31, 2014

ShopTo.

The bundle is called "Xbox One Sunset Overdrive White Bundle + Call of Duty Advanced Warfare Day Zero Edition".
The box has Sunset Overdrive all over it.

banther · Oct 31, 2014

You sure the New COD has been released?

Marc. · Oct 31, 2014

COD isn't out until next week (Tuesday)
