July 2015 Xbox One Preview Update

Yeah it wouldn't make any business sense anyway. BC is useful for manufacturers to extend the library of a new console and give it more appeal for new buyers, but this far into the generation it would only take the gamers' focus away from the new releases.
Microsoft wants us to pay for new Xbox One games, not dust off our old 360 DVDs.
I would be happier with XBLA BC more than disc-based. The 360 has such a great catalogue there, it'd be a shame to let it go to waste

Nah. I think it's dead. I'm going to try to use it on my brothers Xbox to see if it works
Hope you get it working but if not the replacement process wasn't too bad for me. It was hard not having my Kinect for a few days.

On a side note I had my Xbox lock up for the first time today. Anyone else experience this? I had to hard reset it.

As a preview member, I am anticipating an update today. Certainly not the Win10 one, but some big features are coming our way.

I only have Windows 10 running on VMs and the video playback through those VMs isn't great so if they release the streaming feature into the Preview Program I probablly won't be able to test that out.

I hope they announce background audio (without the need for something snapped to the screen) in the July Preview as that is the biggest feature I used a lot on the 360 that is missing on the Xbox One.

I'm gonna run to the Microsoft store this afternoon. Maybe they will replace it.

I didn't realize how much I use the thing until I was talking to my TV and nothing is happening. 😂

Yeah, I didn't realize how much I use it until I couldn't.

I hope we get that as well. Snapping Pandora just doesn't cut it.

Yeah it happened to me too and going back to searching for the remote felt like living in a long dead past.

RGB settings are still broken and I highly doubt they will ever fix them.

Anyone have any connections that can get them looked at?

Have quite a few 360 games from GwG id love to play through if they are on the BC list for preview members!

I got in the program a couple of months ago, but I've not been on the Xbox since.

Do I download a preview app, and update from there?

Dude, you may have to wait for over a month.

I suspect with this potentially being a huge update it may take a long time as well. I would be curious to know if anyone has gotten accepte din the last few days.

Is there a new update for today, or the BC included with the June 12 update?

Well Phil said they'd have more at the daily briefing tonight so I suspect they'll flip switch on the next wave of July's preview then. The ground work is in place it seems.

Weird, I can't find the app, my message has deleted, and I can't access the forum.

I'll add my tag to the waitlist I guess, yatesl
