I COULD Get an Xbox One, but I Have Some Concerns.

Keith make sure you get the smart glass app. So much better than the 360 version. Pretty useful. Especially when reading and sending messages on Xbox live. Its also a quick way to see who is online and what they're doing.

BTW what is your gamertag?

 

[Keith Wallace]

Oh, I use the Games hub for Xbox LIVE messages, works just fine. I have SmartGalss, but haven't found a use for it beyond typing in the Titanfall code that came with the console.

My Gamertag is Lil Frier

Smart Glass is great, you must try it. Once it gets updated and you will be able to control One with your mobile phone, will be next big step to the world of next gen.

I use Smartglass quite often, typically when I'm too lazy to go get the controller from somewhere

 

[MobileVortex]

I use it to save battery life on my controller.

Exactly me. If I'm in bed and want to watch Netflix or something like that I just use my phone to control my Xbox!

 

[Keith Wallace]

Yeah, you all use your consoles for general media. My PC is plugged into my TV, so I use it for those tasks. My console is solely for gaming (at least so far), so there's no saving battery or being lazy trying to play a game with SmartGlass, haha. I actually haven't gotten any messages since Sunday, but I do that in the Games hub, replying to those.

Hey if you have more than one controller (or plan on getting more than one) I just posted a thread about an Insignia charger which is leaps (imo) better than Microsoft's play and charge!

Hmm... may be old news to everyone here, but it looks like Target is bundling a 12 month XBL subscription with the Titanfall eddition... so $449.99 nets you a game and year of online gaming with the console.

Which 'effectively' makes the console about $330 - which is a crazy good deal.

 

[Keith Wallace]

Yeah, they announced it the day after I got mine, haha.

I came upon this thread, might be interesting for your headset question even if it is an extra adaptor...

Make your Xbox One headset work on your PC...

 

[Keith Wallace]

Thanks, I think I've decided to just wait. The included headset is passable.
