Apart from a few faulty BR drives, most posters seems to be having a smooth time of it.

So to be safe, should we do the day 1 update via ethernet, just to be sure nothing goes wrong? I heard when the console reboots after the update it could take 10-15 minutes to start up.
Blinking as in going black screen or turning off? Sounds like hour hdmi cable is loose or messed up try a different Hdmi.
Update and restart took about the same for me as the guy above.
There are a few GPU issues and some not turning on, some crashes etc.... But all normal for a console launch.

I can't seem to get it to turn on by voice after turning off. I have Instant On enabled too. Any ideas? Or am I just missing something?
I haven't seen anyone having real luck with that. I think someone from Giantbomb was saying they had a 20% success rate with it.
Afaik you only see them if your rooms is rather dark.
Yes those are IR emitters.

You can see them? They should only be visible to a camera. Are you an undercover superhero?
Working 100% for me. But I have the German language.

With the Kinect 1 you had to be at the right spot to see the IR. With Xbox One Kinect I can clearly see the 3 IR blasters. So I think it's normal.

My wife just texted me my daughter was pouring water on top of my Xbox one and ps4 today... I'm in for a disappointment when I get home I think..
Yeah, that is pretty much what I'm seeing. Looks like a pretty smooth launch so far.
You can def see them. I have an IR baby camera. They all work the same way.

Holy shit. Sorry to hear man.
As long as they weren't on/in standby I think you should be fine if you let them dry out.
Your controller has some blinking ones as well.
Ohhh boy :/

How old is she?
Is that after the update? Did it turn off by itself?
It needs to be turned off in the settings section. It also shows what it sees with its indiscreet eye
I was mind blown by the image resolution of the camera, but yeah it's f----ing eerie to keep it always on.Brown Intruder

Hmm i Have strict NAT and every time I try to input the static IP address I put in the DMZ with some ports from my 360 days open, it changes the DNS to zero' and won't find them automatically..
No DD from the optical out is annoying
Apart from that great system

How do you set kinect up to where you can browse menus/netflix with your hands and also how do you go in and out of standby mode? When I say xbox turn off it literally tuns off the machine. Thanks
When you're in the dash, press the menu button - there you can quit the active application.
Alright, here's what happened. Got back from GameStop, plugged it all up, plugged in through Ethernet, turned it on with my controller, and the green start up screen popped up. I was there for a couple of minutes and thought that it had frozen. I pushed the power button but nothing happened since I didn't know that you had to hold it down for like 10 seconds. I unplugged it from the wall, unplugged the Ethernet (I have wireless as well), plugged it back in and turned it on with the power button. Same green start up screen, was there for a few minutes, screen went all crazy for like 3 seconds (kinda like that white noise/snow flake thing when your cable tv is out), and then it turned black. Waited like 2 minutes after that and then turned it off with the power button. Plugged the Ethernet back in, turned it on, green screen again, was there for like 45 minutes and then I turned it off again. Got in contact with a MS guy via chat and pretty did the exact same thing with the same results. Went to bed, got up and went to work, now I'm here eating lunch while waiting on a call from Xbox Support. Haven't turned it on since.

Don't sweat it. You can return them to the retailer for a direct swap if they don't work.
If it was ever going to happen, this is the best time.
Luckily I started beating my children whilst they were still in the womb, so they know not to mess with my shit.
I suggest a week course of water boarding to prevent it happening again.
..... last few lines are not true. My son is a good boy. But it is an option... lol
Google is your friend for this given the variance in routers. But basically:
1. Log into router using a web browser
2. Find firewall/NAT settings
3. Add exceptions/rules for Xbox One's IP address
With those vents at the top of the Xbox One, that can't be very good.

You sacrifice all of this stuff when you become a parent, I just hope my son grows up to like video games so Xmas will be easier.
I tackled it by giving my boy his own gamepad, he draws on it and pushes the buttons. It's cute.
