They should work more on the features for Xbox One

smileskybird · Jan 16, 2015

What I think they could improve on is, is not overemphasising their interests in Windows 8 on the Xbox 1 UI, making sure achievements messages and friends list load more quickly as these areas on Xbox 360's Dashboard don't take as long as 4-6 seconds to
load. Making sure they improve Party Chat to function more reliable like Xbox 360's Xbox Live Party. And improving the Dashboard OS so that you don't have to hard reset the console so regularly, as Xbox 1's hardware is capable with multitasking.

And the return of Xbox Live Feature aka Voice Messaging. Xbox 360 has it and I heard PS4 does too. It's not just a bunch of oldies on here, who just prefer to send txts on their console. Other than that, Xbox 1 is much better than what it was like at launch
for those who got Xbox 1 at launch who can relate to the improvements like more games and the return of many missing Xbox Live Features from Xbox 360.

Which reminds me, this is just a joke I'm not going to actually do it: I should go repeat myself on the official feedback site where's voice messaging until they get sick of me and roll the missing feature out. I think a post a day in caps should do it in
the threads which have over 3k votes in it (there's two of them last time I checked). I will check the site out today and make just one post for the 2 if those threads, if there's others, which there's likely to be, them too, stating my desire to have the
feature returned.

Personally I couldn't stand voice messaging! The amount of times I recieved some crappy message from a squeaker, trying to insult me was amazing. Most people can't be bothered writing a msg so it doesn't happen anymore lol

People don't always send insulting voice messaging. Only like 7% of voice messages I received were kind of bad and I play COD BO2 Zombies everyday. Otherwise it's love messages, music, singing, or saying hi or sharing some news. I find it more social than
just reading a bunch of words. And it adds to the 'social enrichment', to Xbox Live. Txting on your console can be a pain, especially since Xbox 1 doesn't have a chatpad. Sure there's SmartGlass and this site. I'm not into using USB keyboards which are bigger
in size than the Xbox 360's chatpad. Xbox Live Features is one of the things which helped make Xbox 360 successful. Only 20% of my friends have an Xbox 1 right now.

I really want itv player then I could get rid of my tv license

If you watch Live TV in the UK you still need a TV Licence.

NonSportsGirl · Jan 16, 2015

True Enen. However technically if you watch only catchup TV on your PC, Xbox, smart TV etc,. then you don't need a TV license.

BBC iPlayer, 4OD, ITV Player ect for the most part fall under catchup TV.

Oddly enough the BBC and the Government are trying to close that loop hole. After all can't have people not playing their TV Tax.

EnenDaveyBoy · Jan 17, 2015

@Vay, they have closed many other loop holes, at one point it was only related to the BBC. Many considerations are also an issue, as you have access to live TV through your PC.

I don't mind the price per say, but the option would be nice.

"I do it with someone who lives a thousand miles from me with zero lag"

Suuuuuuuuuuuuure you do, lol. Zero lag? I think not.

I just Googled it....2151 miles from his doorstep to mine. I have a 300mb connection through TWC and he's at 100 plus. No lag issues. PS Now also works just fine for me but there are plenty of complaints about that being laggy for some.

Are there people that have issues with lag? I'm sure there are...the same can be said for any MP game, Netflix, etc. Those of you that live in areas with bad internet or can't afford a decent service I feel for you.

Hey guys let's stay away from console comparisons. Thanks!

It's the same as you always telling everyone that they should have all systems and not limit themselves. Have you ever thought that not all of us are so lucky to live in some giant mansion in Orange county with endless
amounts of money to burn. Some of us have to be very selective about what system we can afford and for that matter, how many games we can actually buy.

My viewpoint falls along these lines. I can't afford 2 full systems along with all the games I'd want to play. Not to mention I'd likely not have the time if I could. I've had
PS's in the past and they've been OK, but I have to make a choice, as educated as I can without actually buying 2 consoles, as to which I'm going to be most satisfied with. I chose my Xbox's for a lot of reasons.

Now, if I had a PS(#) and I wanted to talk about it and it's games, I'd go to their forums. Just like I come here to talk about Xbox. But considering how easy it is to get the
trolls at each others' throats, the last thing I'd do is try to promote the opposing console on either site. That's just inviting people to argue. Not to mention it's not my job to make sure they're educated as to what the oppositions great features are...
if they're that interested, they'll find out for themselves.

The One shares a Gold Sub between alll users and with a Home Console you can have another "slave" console that shares all digital content fully.
