That sounds weird. I thought the IR lights weren't supposed to be visible?
I can see mine. Three lights. perfectly observable. They're dim, but there.

Looks like my Xbone just bit the dust. Used it last night to watch some TV and got up this morning and it won't turn on via Kinect. Holding my finger over the xbox log on the console will cause the system to beep, light will come on and then shut off after a second or two.
Power brick light goes from white to orange in that span. Anything special about Day 1's besides the controller? Figuring I can take it back to Best Buy but my chances of getting a Day 1 are slim to none.
EDIT - Anyone know if I go through Microsoft for a replacement if I will get a new Xbox One or are they already shipping out refurbished units?
OK, this sucks big time.
All my saves are gone.
Forza won't even load (I get a "loading failed" error message), DR3 and Ryse do load, but behave like I started them for the first time.
Is there anything I can do?
Do you have the Game Suspend Beta enabled? If so, disable. In any case shut down the box by holding the X Symbol for several seconds. Wait 30 secs, restart.
Had a hangup with the TV app, which even caused system slowdown. This kind of "hard reboot" solved it.
Tried all of this, unfortunately none of it worked.
My saves are supposed to be in some sort of cloud, right?
Halp!
Yes, they should be.
Two things left to try:
1) a region change (it does a very good system reset this way, without you losing your settings)
2) Doing a factory reset via the settings menu
The xbox one just doesn't turn on at all. It makes the sound as if it's going to work but just shuts off immediately. Battlefield 4 is also still in the system.
No luck.
So I called amazon and they are sending me a replacement xbox one, which should be here on Monday.
As for the PS4, the system turns on, but the controller doesn't work. Even before this incident, I was having trouble with the system not reading games. I'll be heading to the Sony store tomorrow since they said they'll have a new shipment of units and I'll try to exchange mine.
Btw, is there a way to manually open the xbox one disk tray? Battlefield 4 is stuck in there and I'm not sure if amazon would even bother sending me the game back.
As we get closer to tax time I'm considering a console. The hardware for the X1 seems pretty solid by this thread, how is the OS? Buggy? Stable?
Thanks
You're going to need the day one update to do anything at all.
The blu-ray player is an app that needs to be downloaded and updated to use.
but the brick is meant to be a little louder than the console.
The disc inserting is also louder than ps4 , but not really loud in the grand scheme of things.
i just got the console " yay" i will post screen shots soon. however i have 2 questions that worry me:
1- there is a weird humming sound coming from the adapter. its kinda loud if you are sitting close to it and everything is off " TV, Xbox one on stand by"
is this normal ?
2- the sound BRD makes when it ejecting the disk or taking it in is also loud. louder than my PS4 at least. is this also normal ?
Im about to buy an Xbone, but I want clarification on one thing: the system comes packaged with a wireless controller that supports AA batteries and a "play&charge kit", obviously not included with the system, but available separately for an additional cost of 30 dollars. Is that information correct, you cannot get a console packaged with a wired controller?
thanks. Frankly, Im inclined to be pissed off about that, deliberately packaging in a wireless controller to compel you to buy their play & charge kits, but I suppose if I buy the Titanfall bundle, that will mitigate my annoyance quite a bit.Yes Mika, that is correct.

You also have the option to not put any batteries inside the wireless controller and buy a cheap long USB > micro USB cable.
I still can't use the headset that came in with the console.
Like the ones you charge a mobile phone with? (Or incidentally, a PS controller?)You also have the option to not put any batteries inside the wireless controller and buy a cheap long USB > micro USB cable.
