This journey on Xbox One has an anniversary this month. The hardware for a new generation was launched.
To commemorate this arrival I created my very first OT. Not only was it an Official Thread, but it would be one of the largest of the year.
Jump In! The Resolution is fine would span 21,360 posts with 1,531,214 views and pushed nearly 28GB in data transfers. It was big, it was ugly,
and it got the job done. But it was necessary, I learned how to slim the dashboard design down into what is now used monthly. Thank you for
that amazing month of discussion and hype.

To another year!

Oilyduck65: @XboxP3 hey phil what goodies are planned for xbox1 first anniversary??

XboxP3: @Oilyduck65 Nah, just kidding. We all know the day. Stay tuned.

No idea what that means. Perhaps a damn good sale is coming? Free game or something?

Great OP as usual btw.

I'm all in on Halo, Call of Duty and Dragon Age! Also hoping Ori and the Blind Forest hits this month. I wish GTA5 would go up on the Xbox Store, too, the Xbox One version is far too quiet out there!

That time ntkrnl said that that Halos 1-4 were being ported to XB1. No one believed him. Now we're Vince McMahoning all over the place.

I microwave steaks.
hey guys, question about those of you who have the stereo headset adapter for the xbox one, does it only output audio or can you limit it to chat only?

My last wired mic broke and i'll be damned if I spend $25 on a wired mic :|

Well the idea was just too good to be true. It was crazy. Plus I think Halo 1 wasn't in ntkrnl's original post.

Also the date for the AW bundle is wrong. It releases the 3rd, not the 28th.

NTKRNL will always be a memory.
And the date..well, that happened due too c&p..
 
Just joined the party a few days ago. This month is going to be crazy good on so many platforms. Cannot wait to get my hands on COD AW and MCC!

Yeh you can set it to do chat only. You have to press the button on the adapter that has the game controller icon and set the game balance to 100% chat/0% game.

That's awesome, now to see if there are any inexpensive chat only 3.5 mm mics that will work, I wonder if the dinky one with the ps4 came with is compatible.

So many games out this month!

Still haven't decided what i want. Definitely double dipping on GTAV, but Far Cry or Unity which first? (i'll get the other when its cheaper). And i never got into Halo not sure maybe i should start now. Choices!

Every owner should have MCC.

Target is having B2G1 soon.
And don't forget BBY has the GCU deal and program.

That's where I've been doing most of my buying and trading from.
Get 20% off, decent trade values and $10 rewards on most new releases.
 
One of the best months in a long while. Gonna be overloaded with games.

Really hope Never Alone turns out well. The art style and aesthetic of the game look incredible. It's definitely a game I have my eye on.

Also hope that through some miracle Ori and the Blind Forest launches later in the month but MS might hold that one until December.

This is going to be a good month. The games coming out and Black Friday might have a surprise sale for certain games on the system.

Lawd. I can't wait.

I have no idea what you are talking about. *shifty eyes*


Thanks. Is that confirmed?

On the Xbox.com site on the Games With Gold section, it shows Chariot, Volgarr and Viva Pinata as the current games for November, so yep, it's the carry over game! I like it a lot too from what I've played, pretty neat game.

I want Unity and MCC but I'm going to have to pass on both because Dragon Age is going to absorb all my time and I'd like to keep my marriage intact.
 
Excited to jump back in to XBL after a year-long affair with PS4.

Will be getting an X1 in conjunction with the MCC's release.
