    Your updated home screen just plain sucks. Navigating it is still a pain and there are options/menus that I can't get rid of. Next time you do an update, give us the option to select what part of it, if any, we want to install. And while we're on the subject,
    please let us remove the damn mixer tab. I personally don't know anyone who likes it, let alone actually uses it.

    :)

  2. Dashboards

    Microsoft should let us choose what dashboard we want to use ?

    Agreed. I think an opt in feature would fix this easily

    A lot of people don't like it. I don't get why they create a UI more like Xbox 360's current UI which has been updated to look a lot better than the 2005 UI. I mean heaps of people are complaining about the Xbox One UI yet hardly anyone has complained about
    the Xbox 360 UI. Mixer stinks yet it takes up a good portion of the dash. Far more people use YouTube than this Mixer thing. People can buy their own PVR's (Hauppauge or Elgato) and share gameplay which is (a) longer than 20 seconds and longer than just a
    mere 5 or 10 minutes which INCLUDES Xbox Live Voice game and party chatter). But it's a fair tool for those who can't spare $100 for a PVR. When Xbox One came out, a lot of 10-20 year olds didn't like the Windows 8 like UI which came with Xbox One. Windows
    8 was so bad they had to make an 8.1 lol. Windows 10 is better but it's still boxier compared to the Xbox 360 UI. If they created a UI like Xbox 360's current one, they wouldn't have to do a system UI update every month lol. I mean between 2011 and 2013, before
    Xbox One came out, Microsoft didn't update the 360 UI every month lol.

    Nope, everyone has to be the same or else customer support wouldn't know how to advise anyone who is having problems.

    Easy thing to solve your problem though, sell your console and get a PS4.

    You don't have to be loyal to a company, Microsoft only cares about your money, just like every other company on this planet, if you don't like something, tell them in the best way possible, go to a competitor.

  7. @Shaggy2000 You have a point. But I can't be the only one working a part time job with bills to pay and only this Xone (that was a Christmas present) to feed a gaming habit. Even my laptop burnt out on me ages ago. But this is a Microsoft product running
    some version of Windows. I would simply like the ability to arrange my home screen and tabs the way I want them.

    I’ve been on xbl since it launched (10years and counting) I’ve been what most people would call a hardcore gamer since Halo 2 launched, and I was super excited about where Microsoft was taking the Xbox in this next generation. I was a day one pre-order
    and shared in both the excitement and vision of the Xbox One. While your PR of the new features confused many people; it was people like me, who were excited, that took time out to explain to people the benefits of the new system and just as online disappointment
    was starting to dwindle you go and do this to your loyal fans? I would like to note that, at least here in Michigan, every GameStop in the area (like 5 in a 15 minute radius) were sold out of Xbox One pre-orders on the first day, which according to the people
    at the GameStops I went to was not the case for the PS4. With the abruptness of your change in policy it seems reasonable to me that I could be allowed to opt into the DRM policy, maybe XBL Gold members are given the choice! Come on Microsoft, as a company
    you continue to look well into the future and bring us ideas and products well before others in the market, don't give up on the consumers that share in your vision instead be bold enough to offer us some way to follow you in your dream of the future and let
    us choose, your press release did say it was all about giving us choice did it not? Then the solution is simple, give us the choice. Opt into the 24 hour check in and get all the features that were announced previously (diskless
    playing, digital sharing, 10 person circle etc...). Or opt out and need the disk to play, loose digital sharing and gain unlimited offline play! Boom win-win just give me the choice!
