    Purchase Now, or Later?


    I know the Xbox One is supposedly very multiplayer based, which is why I hesitate to buy one immediately. I have a limited data plan and cannot use it up for gaming, however connecting for a while at a time should be no issue. I also do not have an HD TV
    at hand, and am not sure how much worse of an experience this could create for me.



    What I Have:

    • Limited Internet Connection
        • It is through my phone company therefore I am accessing this through my tablet's "Mobile Hotspot" function (if possible)
    • Standard Television
        • Non-Flatscreen and lacking high-definition
    Would the Xbox one be of any use to me now, or might I as well wait until I am better equipped for it?

    :)

    I have made several purchases this year. MYVIP rewards was working normally. Now it's not working.

    I have made several purchases and I do mean several purchases in that last few weeks/months MYVIP and credits was working correctly. Now I'm not getting any credit from purchases or gold renewals. Please help.

    I think you need an HD television mate. It's an HDMI interface isn't it?

    @ Fatal

    Yes, it's HDMI only, and you'll need a 1.5Mbps connection (down speed) to use it. Plus some patches (DR3) are 13Gb... Or so I've heard.

    So OP, by the sounds of it, you might have to wait for a better setup.

    Good job you decided to check. Would hate for you to buy One, then rush home to find you can't hook it up.

    Definitely wait until you have a better internet connection, the new gen does have more focus on multiplayer and using a hotspot for Live is going to have terrible latency.

    REALLY, STOP TELLIN PEOPLE ON THIS FORUM HOW GREAT THE X1 IS. IT FEELS LIKE YOU ALL WORK FOR MICROSOFT. MY SYSTEM WONT READ THE DISC INSERTED AND SO I WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS TO GET MINE BACK WITH FED EX. SO I GO TO THE FED EX STORE AT OFFICE MAX, AND I
    KNOW ITS NOT A FED EX STORE BUT COME ON MAN THEY DIDNT HAVE A BOX TO FIT THE X1 SAFELY WITH THE BUBBLE WRAP, SO THE GIRL SAYS YOU CAN BUY ONE OF OUR BOXES LOCATED IN THE BACK OF THE STORE. I LEFT THE BRICK AT THE COUNTER HOPING SOMEONE WOULD STEAL IT. I LOOKED
    AT THE BOXES THEY HAD TO OFFER, 18X18X12 14X14X14 12X WHO CARES AT THIS POINT. SO I CALL MICROSOFT WHEN I GET HOME AND I AM TALKING TO THE GIRL ON THE OTHER LINE AND SHE SAYS WE HAVE TO GET BACK TO YOU IN 24 HOURS. SO CALL BACK TOMORROW.REALLY? I ASK TO TALK
    TO A MANAGER AND I GET REDIRECTED TO JOE, WHO IS COOL. AND STILL WONT WAIVE THE 15$ TO GET ADVANCED SHIPPING.(GET A SYSTEM BEFORE YOU SEND YOURS IN.) SO I TALK TO HIS BOSS AND SAYS THE SAMETHING. 1:35:40 MINS ON THE PHONE. I SAY, ILL JUST USE THE REGULAR
    SHIPPING METHOD. FOR A PRODUCT THAT IS WARRANTIED FOR 1 YEAR THEY EXPECT YOU TO STOP PLAYING YOUR 500$ (MINUS GAMES) PRODUCT AND SHIP IT YOURSELF FOR AN ADITIONAL 15$ DOLLARS AND A 500$ HOLD ON YOUR CREDIT CARD. THAT IS BAD BUISNESS. SO I CHOSE TO SEND IT
    IN EXPADITED FOR 10.50$ AND WAIT 14 DAYS FOR A DISC DRIVE ISSUE. WHEN I HAD THE YLOD FOR THE PS3 THEY SENT ME A BOX AND 3 GAMES TO MAKE IT SMOOTH OVER. WHY DID I BUY THIS NEXT GEN GAMING SYSTEM? TO PAY 15$ MORE DOLLARS TO GET THERE 4 MONTH OLD PRODUCT FIXED
    DUE TO THERE COMPANY WANTING TO RELEASE TOO SOON AND INSTALING A RUSHED DISC DRIVE THAT THEY DIDNT WANT IN THE FIRST PLACE. WHEN I GET MY CONSOLE BACK, IF I GET THE BRICK BACK? I AM GETTING THE NOT TO MENTION SYSTEM.
