I've had my xbox one s for 3 days and I'm devastated at how rubbish they are. Seriously thinking of taking it back. Not only have you to wait 2 days to be able to play a new game depending on how big the game file is. Games are that big that my memory is soon gonna fill up. And now after 3 days the stupid thing won't let me sign in. It just keeps reloading the who are you page. So now I can't play my games. Even when playing a game it doesn't feel as smooth as the 360. It has a different playing feel to the 360 and doesn't move fluidly. On most games you've got to press a counter attack button before you can turn around to face another character. I've only had it three days so I'm hoping it starts changing my mind soon or its going back to the shop. If you buy from disk you should be able to play from disk. Why have they played about with a instant play device that people loved and turned it into what I can only describe as a commodore 16 of the prehistoric ages. At least the old atari ect only took five minutes to load up this takes hours. If your buying one for a child make sure you've spent a week or two before Xmas loading it up with games or your kids are gonna be well disappointed.
I had the sign in problem and after playing with it for about 20 min. I shut the console down and unplugged it for 30 seconds and it seems to work fine now. Never saw this issue with the old console.
I was a day one owner. The new Xbox one S looks nice but, it just feels cheaper. Even the power switch is not the soft touch like the original one, it's button that needs to be pushed down. Even the controller loses the ORB that was on the controller, and even that needs to be pushed harder than the old ones.
The older controllers looked like they were multi parts that where put together (the face) now it looks like it's just one piece, just a stamped front of the remote. A cheaper process in making them, and in turn shows they were cheaper to make.
If you didn't need the 4K content and wanted a better built system, the old one I feels better built and just looks better.
Now, just a system itself complaint. Most NEW AAA games are between 45gb and 60gb (Mafia 3, new COD, Gears 4, Forza 3, all fall in this). Selling a system with out a swappable 500gb drive is a joke. With this range, and if your only putting in new AAA games, you might get 10-12 games before you need to start removing them to add more. Yea, yea yea I know you can "ADD" a USB 3.0 drive but, as for a BRAND new system that in 6 months of buying games, you NEED to buy something else. It's a miss planning joke.
Then there is the upgrading and installing of games. With a Modern connection 25mb down, 10mb up, a 47.5GB game takes about 2- 2 1/2 hours. Microsoft is promoting digital games but, the wait for MOST games to download is crazy. Physical games STILL take about 1/2 hour to 45 min to install. There was something to really be said about the old N64 days when you plug in a game, turn it on and you can play within 30 seconds. This is not going to change, with 4K gaming on the scorpio, games will just get larger and to think...Comcast puts a hidden CAP on internet, 250gb a month, download 3-5 games on your xbox one and your done start getting letters of them canceling your internet connection.
When the Xbox one first came out, most games were 10-30gb, so, it was not that big of an issue.
The minimum a new Xbox one should come out with is 1tb. Allow gamers to not have to worry about the system for a year or so (1tb should allow 20-30 large games).
Over all I like the system but, these are things that bother me about it.
