For everyone complaining that the new update method is dumb, I remember seeing just as many complaining about being in the middle of a multiplayer match when a 360 update would hit, knocking them offline.
This update method is much better for the general population. Now missing a "Check for Update" button for those who can't wait, yeah, that's dumb.

No update for me yet. Tried restarting last night multiple times. Been playing titanfall most of the day. Live in WV.
I'm in central California and have had the X1 on Instant One for over a day now,no update. I went ahead and stuck the update on a usb and it updated the console in no time. Compared to jail breaking phones and tablets this was beyond easy. Nice to have battery and hard drive indicators now. "You gotta enjoy the little things" </zombie land> 
The big graph showing your space left on the drive looks good. I've used almost 30% of my drive,it says I have 258 gigs left. Will be trying the games out in abit,especially Dead Rising 3.
----------------------
Ok played some Dead Rising. Game looks abit brighter now,and less jagies,but abit blurry in some spots. I definately like the softer/newer look after the update. Looks cleaner,colors blend better.
----------------------
Killer Instinct,looks about the same to me. Maybe the contrast has changed? I dunno. It looks looks like the brightness is a tad higher. As for 'crashed blacks'...that sort of stuff I could give a shit about,the game has always looked great. Now it looks a tad better,so the drama over crushed blacks,well I still think its overblown but whatever. But for those who care about that,yes the game looks abit brighter now.
---------------------------
Nice update. Gonna go fool around with the UI some more.
---------------------------
(Edit) Holy shit I can't believe it..... The fycking console finally hears me when I say Xbox On. That was such an annoyance when it never worked,which was like 99% of the time for me. Nice to hace this working. Abit of a momentum starting towards March I guess,looking forward to the next update. Goes without saying,this should have all been there day one, yet theres abit of peace of mind that were heading in the right direction now,things are running smoother. Nice update.

But for me this happened after the console was on, and outputting image prior...
It first happened on Netflix, I was in the middle of an episode and suddenly the image went black...
The other time it happened I had that issue with BF4, where it would not complete the loading to enter a match, when I pressed the guide button to try closing it the image blacked out, but I still could control it, and hear the volume...

I finally got the update. I can see the difference in Killer Instinct already!

No that's correct. From the advertised 500GB you get about 391GB that you can use. The rest of the space is reserved by the OS and lost due to the GiB vs GB method of counting. This is how the Xbox One hard disk is partitioned: (Data comes from an unused Xbox One, never turned on)
Temp Content: 44 GB capacity, 27.1GB available
User Content: 391.9 GB capacity, none used.
System Support: 42.9 GB capacity, 34.1 GB available.
System Update: 12.8 GB capacity, 11.8 GB available.
System Update 2: 7.52 GB capacity, 7.47 GB available

So I turned my One on today and some green bar was loading up. Was that the update? I still dont see any battery meter and friends is still pretty tedious to get to.

When do we get to use XBO controllers with PC?
When they bring out some kind of special cable that allows it. $30 at selected retailers

Got the update.
UI is 100% better.
UI is 100% better.
It doesn't show at all times, you have to press the Guide button to show battery meter.
Click your home button, the battery icon will show up in the lower right hand of your screen.
EDIT: Beaten. But yeah, click the guide button and look at the bottom of your screen.
OK. This is different than my issue.
Could be the update but just in case, try to change the HDMI cable. It might be related.
Doubt it
I find fixes to party and game invites much more needed so I say it's more significant.
It's ok. A friend of mine bought bullshit and sold it to me.

48 hours later and still no update.
Jesus Christ, it would be funny if it wasn't so depressing. How hard can it be to push an update to just a couple million consoles?
Goddamn ridiculous.

Got my update but yeah the way it does the update is retarded, they should fix the update process in another update.
Hey guys,
I dont currently own a Xbone but was thinking of picking one up again.
Can anyone confirm Kinect hearing your voice any better?
I returned mine because of problems with my kinect.
Ive hear chatter that this is true.
Thanks
PS I know about calibration.
Kinect works for me about 95% of the time. The only thing that doesn't work every time is Xbox on.

Early 2014 was all they were willing to state, I'd put my money on April.

Got the update around 1am ET ... and I downloaded Titanfall.
Titanfall is the first FPS I've played with the Xbox One controller. I've been wanting to try an FPS on it (bought BF4 on PS4 and I hate COD) as I wasn't sure if the sticks would be too loose for my liking. Nope. Feels fucking good man.

Yeah I hope soon on the XBO controllers on the PC. My plan is to wait until next year to get a new gaming PC when there is some leap with RAM and SSD internal drives are reasonably priced in the 500 GB plus range. I'll jump to PC as my primary platform if I can play on my couch.
I got the X1 on Valentine's, and I will agree with the other poster. Xbox on is the only command I've had repeated trouble with, although I've found it will typically work if said a bit louder than the other ones.
even with a hard reset? :/
Hopefully we get even more surprises in the patch notes. At the end of the day I just feel the 360 had everything so well integrated. Hopefully MS can return to that mantra. Having everything as apps feels disjointed and slow. I want quick, snappy loading.
Also, we need some kind of wall paper. Looks like the abyss in the background.
A little off topic question: is it worth hooking up my cable box to the One if I leave it on often to record?

Nope! ...thx for the patches, really MS... but could you now finally untie language from region settings, MS? That's the ONLY thing I'm asking for, PLEASE. I want to play my games in english. It would cost a programmer probably about 20 minutes to make that work...
I own Dead Rising 3 for over 2 months now and am about 2 hours into it, because I never feel like changing region, language to us/en, then reboot, play and set it back after playing. It's super annoying (I mean the game is BANNED in my country, I bought it in GB and am forced play it in my countries language, wtf?!). OR make an in-game language selection mandatory for game developers, I'd be fine with that too.

So, now that update is out, does it bring new perspective on new features you guys want?
Since the console now gives access directly to your save data, it would be nice if it exposed some sort of version control, so in case a file got corrupted, or accidently deleted, you could still recover it from a selected time frame.
Regarding save data too. Why does the bone waits until the app is opened to sync it? It's stupid! Keep it synced all the time, even when the console is on sleep mode.
After this update I noticed a gestures tutorial that I never noticed before (not sure if it was new or not), and learned about the press and hold for menu. Whish we had faster selecting options. Prior to launch Ms talked about finger taping for selection. My finger is clearly visible from Kinect's depth view. It would be even better for navigation if they made selection gestures more fine grained, like a simple finger tap for selecting, two fingers tap for menu, etc... At least give these options if the person is near enough for these gestures to be reliable.
It would be nice to have an option to automatically install all content that I own for games and apps that are already installed. And again, this could be checked while in sleep mode, so whenever I redeem a code anywhere that content is automatically downloaded.
I see. If it ever happens again I'll try that.

Fifa has done it to me, but Fifa has done it a few times before so I've always considered that an EA thing...

Just checked and still no update.
This is getting pretty bloody annoying. Why on Earth didn't they include a check for update option or push the update to everyone at the same time?
Jesus Christ...

You can use a normal Mini (or Micro, can never remember which one is which :S) USB cable and it sends the data down that instead of wirelessly.
So no, you won't need to spend money on a cable.
They said it would be out for the Titanfall release IIRC.
Just installed the update, but now my kinect doesn't auto sign me in and when I try to manually sign in, it says to try again later. I can sign in just fine on xbox.com and the status page says there are no issues. Anyone have any ideas. Only started doing this after the update.
Got the new update and can't shut down my Xbox One with voice controls anymore.
'Xbox Turn Off' still triggers the confirm dialog. However, my Kinect doesn't want to respond to my 'Yes' confirm command anymore. I tried thousands of times, it just doesn't go. 'No' works fine by the way.
Really not kidding, my Kinect just refuses to shut down the Xbox One.
