Only problem is that you'll be over flown with clips probably but eh, it's better than nothing unless MS implements something better.

A lot of these updates, to be honest, I think are more important than the ability to take screenshots, but the screenshot feature is definitely important and something they will certainly add in due time.
The features they've been adding regularly are pretty solid to huge improvements to the way the system works and is operated. They really have been making some serious strides in how they've been improving the console. And wow at how great the new snap features are. It's like an entirely different feeling system almost.
Microsoft are seriously doing the damn thing on these updates. And, get this, my 2 Verizon FIOS Quantum TV media server boxes are found and considered as DLNA servers to the xbox one media player app, and when I go into them, it shows folders of all the television channels. Can't actually do anything with them though cause they don't work that way. Still thought it was pretty interesting nonetheless.

DLNA works pretty well with W8.

It's so damn true. The snap center is unbelievably good. And so damn smooth, too.

Xbox One media player app finds PC DLNA servers, Verizon Fios media servers boxes, and apparently now Plex Servers on your network... Oh my, oh my.

The Xbox One better not have an encoder for that then.

They're spreading the love regularly. A big update is probably harder to control bug wise? So this way they're doing it in smaller chunks, I much prefer it to one big one, something to look forward to every month.
Also it means they get good press more regularly, which I what I think they're aiming for

Isn't that exactly what the update details say it would do?

Well that sucks big time. Looks as though the HTPC will still be the main entertainment box.

Yep, and with Plex, it shows movie artwork too, so it isn't just a list of file names, so that is a pleasantry until Plex proper arrives.
Don't count on it. They're in denial.
No, it was announced as "starting in markets receiving the TV tuner". It never said anything about only working with the TV tuner.

It's a beaut. This is what the UI was supposed to be. The way they designed the console to handle this was genius.
Downloading now.. I really like the quick menu after double tap in that video.. also new friends area look fantastic.
Outside of Screenshot as a stat freak the only thing that I wish they would fix is the time played on each game. It is often so wrong.. bugs me as they have it built into the UI it just does not do a good job of tracking actual time. Also hero stats.. I want to see them all for each game on my dash.
But another great pile of updates.. keep it going MS

Of course it doesn't fucking work with Zoo Tycoon.
If they put a DTS license up in the store, I'd buy it. Get crackin' Major!
Yes, looks like my kdlinks is still king
. Wasn't expecting 3d support but at least DTS 5.1. Well hopefully dlna works differently with the box with transcoding done on the computer

I expected the usual stuff, not the cable boxes in your house as well as your plex media servers. I expected my Windows 8.1 DLNA server to show, and that was it.

Do you want to spend an extra £34 on 1 more TB?
I think 3TB is quite a lot, what other benefits does the 4TB one have?
For the generation? More is better... with games getting up to 40gig plus you will fill it. Depends on if you have the extra money... you could also just add another 3tb or more later down the line.
Yea this is pretty big, especially for non kinect users.

It's up. Just manually download it from the System tab in Options.
Yeah, Plex server works nicely with it. Has movie artwork and such instead of just the file names so that is nice. Plays smoothly. I can now unplug my Roku and plug in my cable box for basic cable stuff.
Now for most I saw the thread on the update and started the update on my Xbox 30 mins later and that's because I couldn't stop playing Diablo.
