Huh, wonder if this is an early indicator of how fun these games are... people seem to like Killer Instinct.... Ryse not so much...
Being a sales ager, now I'm realising this could also be a tool for estimating sales of titles on One XD

Hmm, I hope thats not the case.
But that wouldn't work with MP modes of games, right? Connection/log-in to the specific service of the game and whatnot.

Please tell me you can change the colors on the interface. Really don't like the garish and clashing Windows 8 Metro palette.
Woah that's actually pretty neat, having the number of people playing listed. Might push me to go play any game that's not in the top few if I know there's decent amount of players in it.

Yeah, you can pick your color for tiles. I think the background is stuck black for now.

This saves Major from having to do that blog post every week.
Maybe CBOAT can't be called out but some were saying that the OS would certainly not be fixed for launch.
something fishy

he gave us good info.

The last two days of media release for the XB1 has been better marketing than anything since the reveal. My interest has definitely risen. One thing you can be sure of: Microsoft will definitely deliver on the dashboard/OS/services integration.

I would say it's more indicative of which games people have access to. I mean the console hasn't even officially launched, so the few that are in the wild probably don't have access to everything. Of course CoD is available at retail but the people that have the console already probably aren't mainstream CoD fans for the most part.
A week or two after launch the trending games section will be much more telling as to which games are more popular. Killer Instinct is free to play, so you will have to give it a week or two for people experimenting with it to either get bored with the one character they can use and quit, or to buy the rest of the characters and keep playing, so I think trending games will mean much more around the first of Dec or so.

that's bs part of insiders, what's the point to come and shit on whatever that won't make a difference to the consumer at the end?
You can change the color of the tiles. I hope and expect that you can also set a background, much the same way as with Windows 8.
Glad to see he's not had many issues. UI looks clean but a bit busy for me.
I often take trends from one data point.

You can choose the background color, as long as it's black.

The UI reminds me strongly of Windows 8 metro apps, which I'm not too fond of.
Such salt.
Trying too hard. Just because it isn't 1080p, doesn't mean that there aren't improvements. The hyperbole is amazing.

Sony better start working fast because I want OS at this level as early as next year for the PS4.

That's because it is Metro.
You mean the only COD version that actually is playable? good burn.
in all seriousness?
There's a difference between "shitting" on something and telling the truth.
They came and told us about some problems which was backed up by some dev or some journalist (can't renember who exactly it was).However Cboat said, these problems might be gone until launch.
He never said anything about "don't buy this console", it was just to raise the awareness so people would be prepared, if these features wouldn't work.
So it looks like everything was worked out and the OS seems to work just fine, which is good.
However, just imagine that this features would have been broken at launch, the uproad would be bigger without the actual warning.
And LOL!!!
CBOAT said that UI will probably be fixed until launch.
Bullseye! Move along!

Loving the new dash. Everything is so sexy. Love the trending games area. I always hated that major's update was on his blog and not on the dash. Multi tasking is next level. I will plug my PS4 into my XB1 day one.
A little OT but I actually buy into MS's ecosystem so I am psyched MS is finally getting their OS's to converge. Now we just need a shard store. When I buy an app on my ipad I can use it on my iphone same goes for android. Ms needs to fix that shit. Halo: SA purchase needs to work on desktop, tablet, phone and XB1 or X360. Instead to do that it's 4 purchases!!!!
Sony even got this down without having the benefit of a common OS like IOS and Android.

If it works at launch we can read into it will not work for Titan fall or Christmas. Easy to make predictions. And guess what we can all do it.
Yeah, that's just weird. It's not even good looking, at all. The Metro in general still looks like shit.
I like the top games thing though.

Is this only friends list or all of xbl? Pretty cool, hope ps4 share this info too.
as long as they rely on IR blasters, they can never fully integrate with your DVR. Anything that requires you to use up/down/left/right etc for navigating menus would be impossible to reliably control with an IR blaster. You'd need to integrate LAN control which some DVRs do support.
Fingers crossed MS support that in the future, but I've not heard them even hint at it. Being able to search across live TV and netflix is nice, but it needs to search my recorded shows too
If they added that, and something like plex, so you could search in one place across live TV, catchup TV apps, Netflix etc, recorded DVR shows and your network content - *that* would be my ultimate living room box.
I doubt the guy has 112 friends who also have an Xbone :lol
And yeah, I hope so too. Kind of meaningless stats.. But I love meaningless stats

Does anyone know if a snapped app (like the music app) can be hidden so gameplay takes up the whole screen? I don't fancy playing a game using only two thirds of the screen.
Same goes for streaming on Twitch - I hope you can still have full screen play
