  1. Console Timer not ported over from 360 - Why?!


    So, by now I'm sure that I'm not the first to post this... And I know for a fact I'm not the first to mention it SOMEWHERE. And Microsoft should have heard it, screaming from a thousand different forums (a quick google search of xbox one + family timer or
    some variant of that will give you a hundred results). But, just in case they weren't posting it in the correct area, I'm posting it here, now hopefully for all to see. If my post is not in the appropriate area, feel free to move it or let me know where/how
    to move it. Thanks in advance.

    So, the first and foremost - the console level lock / family timer available in 360 is gone, never ported over to the One. Why? That was a terrible mistake. I cant think of any good reason why Microsoft would think it was a good idea to remove / not port
    that. There are plenty of parents that need a software level control over the console, and that was the only one available. To add insult to injury, just before the One launch, the Xbox Live Family Packs were "disbanded" and broken up - most likely for monetary
    reasons - and now its a pain in the **** to even see where the heck my 17 year old brother's account is even located. And compared to the options and control I had before? I have like, 5 options. I lost like, most of what I had. I used to be able to see how
    long he had played, what his last logon time was, etc. Now, I cant do any of that. So, now if I want to limit his play time to X number of hours per day, I have to come up with elaborate rules like, turn in your controller after this timer goes off, etc. The
    cutting edge spaceship console that answers voice commands but cant keep my brother from being a gaming addict. Heck, I dont even know if turning in the controller does any good; since he can play half the game with voice commands alone!

  2. Xbox gold free games

    I didn't like D4.

    One thing they could do if they fall short on ideas is to start pulling 1 game a month from the 360's library and start porting them over. Someone else made a thread about which arcade games from the 360 they'd like to have ported over. It can be found here,
    as well as the games I would like to see ported over. Console Timer not ported over from 360 - Why?! ;)

    WILL YOU GUYS EVER MAKE 360 GAMES COMPATIBLE WITH THE XBOX ONE???

    There is no reason why there should not be efforts made to port 360 games over. I want to get rid of my 360 as soon as possible and would like to be able to play my library of games on my new console. Not only the disc games but all of the games that I
    have purchased digitally. Especially the ones from XBLA.

    My xbox 360 slim doesn't give enough power for my 500gb portable HD

    Just coppied this from a support page:

    Each USB port on the Xbox 360 console is protected by an over-current protection mechanism to reduce the risk of damage. An over-current situation may occur if the USB device that is attached to the Xbox 360 console tries to draw too much power from the
    USB port. In these situations, the USB port will temporarily turn off to prevent damage. The USB port will reset after the device is disconnected.

    Not a lot you can do as far as i know.It's also possible the hard drive is not compatible with the 360.

    Even if it did work,you will only get 32gb of storage,not 500gb.

    Xbox 360 Family Timer - Setting from a PC

    Hi there,

    From what I can see, it's not possible to set from the PC

    Also reading through the information on the family timer leads me to believe it would reset as soon as you hit a new day or week and not the time you set it as the purpose to limit the time the console can be used daily or weekly.

    See the following link for more information on the family timer:
