Major Nelson: How fast is redeeming a code on Xbox One?

I just stole Major's 14 Day XBL Gold Trial....

Hope he isn't salty about it
 
Who doesn't love typing in 16 digit codes?

what? Typing in the codes is annoying as fuck

Jeez you guys are getting defensive lol

I'm saying it probably won't get used much. I know a ton of people who NEVER used the kinect card to properly calibrate their kinect.

I never said it was a bad feature, in fact I think it's really neat. I'm just saying that from personal experience, most people I know will stick to what they've been doing.
 
So awsome. My buddies and I were griping about plugging in codes with a controller last night when we redeemed our Free Fall map keys.
 
Impressive!
I want a similar video on how you change channel or input on your TV/receiver using Kinect.
 
I'm not sure they comprehend how close a lot of us that mained 360 are to canceling our pre-orders for Xbox One and simply going all in on PS4.

Well, thats fine, but I'm not sure what it really has to do with what I said?

Im not cancelling my pre-order because they haven't shown us the dash... would seem like an incredibly bizarre thing to do, personally. If you're on the edge that much over a non-dashboard video chances are you're just looking for a reason.
 
I recall a few years ago thinking this sort of thing was like magic when I first saw it. It's been great for iTunes cards for a long time. Good that it's implemented here.
 
All X1s have Kinect. Why would you even NOT use this feature?

I NEVER SAID I WOULDN'T.

I'm just saying I know people that wouldn't. I don't know why they do the things they do.

I'd guess you'd have to stand near the kinect for it to pick up the code that could be a reason (though you'd probably already be near it to put the disc in)

I am. And not just because of that. But it plays a part. It's not unusual for someone to want to see what they're getting before they buy something. Especially when that something costs 500 dollars.
 
I was tempted to link it, but to cut MS a break and not derail this thread, lets just leave it at, it was an official PS4 video on their policy on how to lend a game for a friend, a comical 1

Well I saw all that, but it's been months since Microsoft dropped the DRM policies. Is he really that far behind on news?
 
I would like to point out, this is why the Kinect on the Xbox One will amount to something. By making it completely optional and not packing it in, Sony is not giving any incentive to have developers use the Camera or even really further the hardware themselves. The Kinect on the other hand will be in every box, which devs can count on. If someone decides not to plug their Kinect in, then they lose out on things the devs or Microsoft come up with, but it's not as severe as creating an instant rift by not having it in the first place.

I get what you are saying, but Wii U gamepad says "Hi guys!!!!"

mandatory inclusion != developer interest

poor Wii U :(

Be afraid, be very afraid. Every night you go to bed, check under it. Make sure that the Major isn't hiding underneath it. If he is, may the gods of Gaming be with you. You will not live to tell.

When no one is developing games for your system, that's a problem. I'm sure if Sony or Microsoft had went with a screen on the controller, we'd see better uses for it. There is just something about Nintendo and 3rd parties that just don't gel together.
 
Haha, nice.

I'm liking this new trend of marketing by way of very short videos and gifs.

@tokyostomp: Expect a call from the NSA.

... with a job offer. Thats the can-do attitude that they appreciate ;P
