Time to vent

First and foremost I'd like to say I am very impressed with the hardware that makes up the Xbox One. Now it is time to vent.

Why can't I rip CDs to my hard drive? I HATE the music developers include in their games. It you don't like Top 40 hits or EDM (doesn't classify as music if you don't play an instrument) then you are screwed. I had all of my CD collection ripped to my Xbox
360 and could play it instead of the crappy music in game (Forza, FIFA).

Follow up to rant 1, where is Ipod or support for other MP3 players?

No control over my hard drive content. How am I supposed to delete unwanted data to free up hard drive space when it is needed?

Missing third party apps at launch. How hard would it have been to include the NHL app and HBO Go for launch? Not everybody likes Hand Egg (NFL, is boring and filled with selfish, childish scum dogs whom no one should admire or emulate).

My dashboard constantly freezes and locks up when trying to accept/send party invites (all I really want to do is invite to or join games). Why does everything need to be done via a party?

Why doesn't my friends list have it's own tab, and why can't I pull it up in snap?

When are you going to add the "do what I tell you to do, not what you want to do" voice command? Is this a cleverly disguised Hal 9000?

How many time do I have to tell my Xbox to turn on before it does it?

The left thumbstick on my controller is already wearing down in the middle where it touches the controller body. WTF MS? I hope you don't think I am running out and spending $60 on something that isn't 2 months old yet.

Your move Microsoft, you got my money, now hold up your end of the bargain.

Vents

I'm sure one thing Microsoft learnt was how to adequately ventilate the console. My 360 is like a space heater, I can't play it at night during the summer without my room turning into an oven.

 

Vents

Where? please show me. I saw no vent just a flat surface.

 

Well I can answer 1 of them rather quickly...

Q) How many times do I have to tell my Xbox to turn on before it does it?

A) 95% - 100% of the time. For me, when i sit there like an idiot and try, it may work 1 out of 40 times

-- Some have gotten lucky, yet for me and 1,000's upon1,000's more this is simply broken.

 

When I tell my Xbox to turn on, it does so on the first or second try. I noticed that it won't work unless it's absolutely quiet, though. As for ripping the CDs, I'm sure they will add that later on. Same with the missing apps. It's not like they can
copy and paste apps from one console to another. There has to be negotiating and contracts involved. Not everything can just be.

 

For your music woes, use Media Browser 3.. Granted it still stream your music in that god awful 'snap' taking 1/4 of your screen.. But it will allow you to play your ripped music. It also won't swap focus when the song changes as it would with the traditional
'play to'. See this thread.

Xbox On... we are lucky enough to have 2 Xbox Ones and it rarely works on either, neither does the automatic sign in with Kinect.

Loads of problems that can only improve in time, eagerly awaiting the next update!
