Hardware it seems, as changing your region for doesn't help

Christ I think your right, if I bought a french one and took it home I'd have to speak French to it.

Pretty fucking daft. I couldn't find anything solid but if it's linked to your live account (which I thought it would be) you could try setting up a yank account or migrating to an American account. It does look like a hardware lock though and sounds like MS making more work for themselves.

lol as if there weren't enough corporate logos on that box they had to ensure Qatar Airways was prominently displayed.

"The Xbox One...brought to you by Qatar Airways, EA and FIFA".

Someone kill me now, or at least aim a big fucking meteor at us.

tips and gotchas for the firsttime XB1 user

Do NOT tell your Xbox to go to another game unless you're sure you savedP

The console will not warn you that you haven't saved your progress. It will not ask if you're sure. It will just close the game down on you and load the next one

lol and/or ffs

yup, as seen in the video that accompanies the article.
obviously you can turn voice commands off but I suppose that's akin to unplugging your mouse on your windows pc.

Well it's all set. I've opted to run on normal power mode and not to run TiVo through it. Seems wasteful to have to turn on the xbox just to watch tv.

being able to say..."xbox on" and having everything power up (tv, cablebox) and then say "watch hbo" or "whats on tbs" along with play, pause, record etc..basically total voice control..is awesome.

Yes. I think you can even say the name of a program.
Dont say xbox on when your tv is already turned on tho, itll turn the tv off.

I'm am being thick, or is there no way to stream from my NAS?

On the tv thing, we don't have support yet for dvr/stb so I'll revisit when there is.

it still supports DLNA they said (after sony revealed the ps4 doesnt), so I guess it's somewhere.
they buried it in the latest 360 dash update so you might have to poke around for it?

edit: oh lol
Quote:
The Xbox One will let you stream content to the console using DLNA, although on day one there's no native support to initiate those streams, so the console acts as a receiver only.


So instead of using your XB1 to select content from your NAS or laptop, you have to tell your laptop or NAS to start sending.
handy that.
