Xbox One November Preview Info

I guess most of us will only get it tomorrow, right? =(

We'll receive it when the devs are happy that there are no major bugs.. Hopefully it's soon.

One thing I'd love to know is how they select their waves. I'm always on the second one..

I've also wondered how they choose who's in each wave. I've been in the first of every single update and this time, nothing. I'm not complaining, I can easily wait a day, but I'm curious.

Yep. A hard gaming Xbox fan like myself, being treated like I'm Tier 2, despicable from Phil and Co.

I might write an angry email to give them a piece of my mind.

Just send him picture messages on Xbox live with the Vision Camera like I do. That usually shows him!
 
Nothing to do with preview but I have only noticed this issue since I first tried Destiny. When I switch to another game the fan ramps right up to full (only time I had ever heard it) for about 15-30 seconds then it settles back down again.

Actually it doesn't have to be Destiny. Just launched Xbox fitness after closing it and fan ramps again, unusual.

Yup, thats ok! I hope we can all update it tomorrow! Can't wait to customiza my background! =P

I hope we can get GAF behind putting votes in for Tile Transparency to make the new background images even better.

This is so depressing. Xbone getting updates monthly while PS4 gets them like every 2-4 months...

Microsoft is a software company. and I think they are putting even more effort in because of the hardware disadvantage. if you can't beat their hardware beat them in software

People are going to start collecting achievements just for the art. This is such a great way to make achievements even better. The D4 artwork for completing the game looks great and I'm currently using it now.

Hate to be cynical, buy being able to use any picture in the future will negate that. Once a cheevo is unlocked, someone will upload it and it will be available for everyone.

Background art is more of a personal thing anyway so regardless of something being out in the wild or not...having it on my dash is the only thing that matters. Having a hard to get cheevo artwork on my dash also just as satisfying to me personally even if its something I could pull off the webs.

oh man...

It's amazing how much that simply changing the background can alter the entire feel of the UI...It's looking more and more like the 360 interface now (and that's a good thing).

Granted, I don't think it looked bad before, but I'm very much liking these changes.

I really hope that they change how Kinect voice commands work in the next update. The lack of support for Kinect in the last few updates makes me worried that MS will abandon it.

Love the monthly updates. But, is anyone else waiting for theme music for when you walk into the room and Kinect signs you in lol? I would my Xbox to play a song of my choice when I start my system and it auto signs me in with Kinect...

Oh my god that would be awesome.

Mine would play the song from Karate Kid every time... "you're the best..."

You guys got me wrong. I just want MS to tweak on the performance side, too.

Ah, I get you. I'm sure Microsoft will bundle some faster RAM and extra GPU power into these updates eventually. It's just a download away at that point, and suddenly... parity.

I want two very important features for December

1. "xbox...invite <gamertag> to game

2. Screenshot capture

Come on, Microsoft

With the way Kinect still seems to struggle with normal everyday words, i don't want to imagine trying to teach it "xXxDeathSniperGangztah".

So are they planning on fixing the annoying presence of there being two tiles for a game if you have it on disc? I feel like it's a remnant of the old OS, where it expects everything to simply be installed and not require a disc. It's kinda annoying.

Example being Forza 5:
