Anyone else notice a difference with the new controller(not for the best)? I can't put my finger on it but something is off.

Just turned my S on for the first time, and its been stuck at the green startup screen for like 10 minutes. Should I be concerned?
Hmmmm, hold the power button until/if it turns off, unplug it from the wall and system socket, and let it stand 30 seconds. Try booting it then.

You can buy mine right now because I'm never gonna use it
Lol, I appreciate the offer. If you were really close to Seattle I'd jump on it, but it probably wouldn't be here until launch day otherwise.
Odd that they didn't launch with the consoles.

This worked, thanks!

..but cry so much I wish I had some
Same happened to me for some reason. I turned mine off and back on and that fixed it for me.
They came bundled with the 2 TB model, but not with the others.

Yea, which is great. Not having them at launch for the consoles that don't come with them is a little odd. It's not that far out, so not a huge deal. Just odd.

September 22, bundled with Fifa 17 (£250)
Clear cache reboot by holding the power button for 10 seconds, let it sit for another 20, then boot it back up.
Still not working.
Try support chat, and then exchange/refund if it still doesn't work.

Just got the S recently and still not over how sluggish the UI feels. Coming from PS4.

Buyer's remorse is so ridiculous in the electronics industry. People are idiots : Microsoft offered X item for Y amount, and you decided that you would get Y amount of enjoyment from it... Then it drops and you're mad? Electronics constantly drop in price, nearly every single electronic item you buy will be cheaper shortly after you buy it, get over it.
I really can't stand Day One Xbox One purchasers with buyer's remorse : If you're over 18 then you should have had half a brain to do ten minutes research and see it would be a massive failure and drop in price fast.
Trade in deals are great but they're a bonus, you're not "getting screwed" by not having one. You bought an X1 and enjoyed it until now, you're gonna lose money based on hours used. Move on.

I think that the Xbox One S, air grills aside, is a great design and a smart console. I am starting to think that this PS2 like shape for a cheaper console with some improved grunt, more compact streamlined shape, and essentially the most affordable console option for UHD Blu-Ray playback was chosen for a reason... the entire console reminds me of PS 2 a little.
=( as a MS fanboy, I know. 360 >>>>> PS3, but Xbone is really slow these days. Anniversary update is terrible.
Yeah, the Xbox One UI is absurdly sluggish for me as well. I think it's mostly due to network issues so the S doesn't really help.

the UI has gotten worse.

Saw one at Walmart earlier and damn I wanted to buy it so bad. Either waiting for Black Friday or Scorpio though... with Scorpio out in a year it's just hard to justify it now.
The weird things is that 360 games play fine but its my XB1 games that are having problems.

Watching The Revenant 4K blu-ray is an eye opening experience. So glad I was able to upgrade for essentially 70 bucks!

Got mine in today, hooked it up and installed Halo 5 and the MCC. UI is a little clunky to get around, but I'll get used to it. Gonna watch Deadpool in 4K tonight. My TV doesn't have HDR unfortunately, but I'm still excited
It opened your eyes to see what a shitty movie it was?
Eh, it wasn't shitty, stretched out is probably the right word. It was essentially a 30 minute story told in over 2 hours.
It's a bug. Yes it puts your TV into HDR mode even in the menus and when watching SDR content when it should only do it if you are actually watching HDR enabled content.

My new controller that came with the S has a very faint static or crackle with the audio when using a headset. I only really notice it on the dashboard when using the d pad and moving around. In game I don't notice it, but it could just be drowned out by the rest of the sound.
Anyone else get this? Could it be wireless interference? I do generally have the baby monitor on the desk while im playing.

The slight crackle on the dash is happening with my lunar white controller too, so its the system. Strange. Not sure if its worth returning over.

That use to happen to me when my audio settings were screwed up. Maybe try to reset you're audio settings.

It is of course plastic feeling but it creaks less when held tight compared to all my older controllers including my elite just have to wait and see how the LB RB hold up compared to the older controllers I've replaced them on my lunar and elite lunar dpad is f'ed so don't use that one anymore son switched to wired programmable afterglow which he prefers he put some anti sweat handgrips on it and loves it plus 2 year warranty on those.

Strangely I like it a lot better than the 360's clusterfuck of a dashboard towards it's end of it's life. My only beef with it is that the side panel lags when opened for the first time on a boot up.
But yes, I think the PS4 wins because it doesn't try to load all those useless crap in the background, hell I am still fond of the XMB on the PS3.
Thankfully the Xbox app on PC works great for me for redeeming my cards and buying games my only other experience on console stores was the PSN store on PS3 and Vita (they suck, really suck), the only but significant complaint I have is that it doesn't have a "total amounts" page with tax, instead it just deducts the amount right away.
Yea the OS has a lot of freaking live content, things that have to be downloaded every so often and be kept in the RAM. I really wished they'd fix the sluggishness with the switch to Windows 10 last November, and while they did make it snappier, it's still not enough or as snappy as the PS4 (although the PS4 OS does a lot less).
I don't know when or if they will one day rethink how the OS works and delivers all this live information, maybe have a separate 4GB DDR3 module for the OS and 8-12GB GDDR5 for gaming in Scorpio. Or just make the OS lighter and less "connected" for the main part, and keep the other tabs as separate apps that aren't always open and using resources by default.

Joining the S club. I have a launch original Xbox One and now I just ordered a 500 GB S. My plan is to get a cheap external HD during one of the big holiday blowouts.
From what I understand, I should be able to use my current gamertag across both consoles, and have my digital library available to both.
Goodnight launch 360, you served us well as a Netflix box in your final years. I really look forward to the going from jet engine -> whisper quiet.

I wonder if DF will do comparisons between the One and the One S with games like BF1 and whatever else is coming. Still surprised they didnt test Halo 5 to see if the dynamic res stayed higher or not.

yeah it will work fine. My sons Xbox One is my home console and i play on my other 2 systems while he is on that one all the time.
i have 3 360 E models that run my OTA tv from my Media center PC.

In addition I would like to see if a game that supports HDR runs faster on Xbox One S if the output device is a non-HDR TV.

Still getting slight audio crackle through the controller. Seems to only happen on the dash, I don't notice it in game.
Tried a different controller, and it still happens. Slight annoyance but I don't think I'll return it over this.
No one else with this issue?

I was surprised they skipped halo 5 in the tests.
Man Xbox One is still having the resume from sleep strict NAT problem? It's annoying, I thought they would have fixed it by now. Also my downloads are not being kicked off remotely. I selected BF1 while at work, get home and it's in the waiting to be installed (download) section, instead of already being downloaded?

Tomorrow is the day of reckoning. Between 9 AM and 1 PM my replacement Vizio will be delivered.
I truly do hope they send a patient person as I plan on showing them the exact issue in action first so they know what is going on and what needs to be fixed.
I then plan on taking a very long time to see if it is fixed. Not a minute with no blackout and we are good to go. If the issue is somehow not there, I want to see it not black out for at least 10-15 minutes. Since it always happens within a minute of enabling it I figure that is decent and long enough this person should be able to remain patient.
Fingers crossed here. I will no doubt post either way to share whether the replacement TV fixed the issue or not. I sure hope it does. That goes without saying.
