They gave me KI for free and I think I've played it for 45 seconds. I always forget that I own it. I forget about most games that aren't on a disc, to be honest.

I pin all my games to the home screen, so I'm constantly reminded that they exist.

I forget which games are on my shelf, though.

Same here. It's even worse on 360, where I don't have room on my HD for all of the digital games I've bought. The ones that aren't downloaded might as well not exist, because I sure as heck don't remember that they're in my library of things to play.

I forget what I have digitally and what I don't. The other day I was thinking "I should trade in Titanfall" and then was like "Fucking ballsack, it's digital. I'm stuck with it forever."

This is only a rumor, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Collection appears to have surfaced on the Xbox One sub-Reddit, along with a November 25 release date.

IF this were real, I'm just not seeing the November release date for it. I don't think they would release in the exact same month as their new feature game. I could see an August/September release date perhaps though if this was coming out though, leading up to the new game.

Agreed, I can't imagine the date would be real unless the new Call of Duty is delayed.

Features in the June update preview:

External Storage for your Games and Apps. This has been a much requested feature, and it's here! With the June update preview, you can connect up to two external hard drives to use as extra storage for your Xbox One console. We have a detailed list of how to use this feature here, and you can discuss everything external storage related in the External Storage on Xbox One forums. Don't forget to check out the FAQ!

Real Name Sharing: Now you can share your real name with your friends, and even with your friends-of-friends. Don't worry though, you're in total control - share your name with your entire friends list, or just a few. The next time you open the Friends app, you’ll receive a setup prompt. If you don’t receive the prompt, you can also access the setup by selecting My profileand Share real name.

Auto Sign-In. You requested this, and now you have it! With Auto-Sign In, you can now select an account to sign in automatically when you turn on your Xbox One. To enable this option, navigate to Settings > Preferences > Instant sign-in, and choose the account you wish to sign in automatically. The next time you turn on the system, you'll be signed-in from the get-go!

Updated Store for Home. The Xbox Store has been redesigned and now includes featured content front and center with Game, Movie, Music, and App categories to the right. The search bar has also been moved, and it's now an icon under the categories at the far right.
External Storage FAQ

Q: What can I install on my external storage device?
A: You can install games, downloadable content, and apps on your storage device.

Q: Can I store game saves on the external storage device?
A: No. Game saves are automatically stored in the cloud and synced to the Xbox One console.

Q: Can I use the external storage device for music and video playback?
A: No. For the initial release of the external storage feature, media files, including music and videos, are not supported. We are considering this for a future release.

Q: Can I copy or move a game from my internal hard drive to my external storage device?
A: Yes. Check out the content management features by going the Manage page for the game or app.

Q: Can I use my external storage device with my PC as well as my Xbox One?
A: No. The external storage device will be formatted for use by the Xbox One console only. PCs won’t recognize the drive partition created by the Xbox One.

Q: Can I re-format my storage device from my Xbox One console?
A: If you'd like to remove all content from your storage device and start over, you can re-format your storage device on the Xbox One. To do this, go to Settings>System>Manage Storage, choose the external drive you want to format, and select Format. After this is done, the Xbox One will treat it as a brand new drive.

Note: Formatting causes the storage device to wipe all data.

Q: Do I need to bring my game disc while roaming with my storage device?
A: Yes. The external storage device does not change the licensing for games, so if the game was installed from a disc, the disc is required to play the game.
EDIT: Also there's apparently a new option to send separate on/off commands to TVs rather than just a toggle signal. That has been one of my biggest pet peeves since day one, so I'm very happy to see that included.

re: Xbox One: S $249 Now / X $499 November 7 2017

I finally decided to try out controlling my TV and receiver with the Kinect. Before, saying "Xbox on" or "xbox off" would turn your tv off if it was already on etc, but the new updates have fixed all that. I've got to say, I'm impressed! Being able to mute or change volume is quick and easy, and my voice is recognized every time. Also, having all my stuff turn on when I say "Xbox on" is pretty damn cool. I really feel bad for people who purchase this system without a kinect...really missing out on some great stuff that no other console could ever do

Too late for me. My family would kill me if I put the Xbox interface back on.

Actually, my main reason to turn it off was that my wife likes to watch TV, and then just turn off the screen manually, pushing the power button in TV, and leave the cable box on. I just didn't want to come home at night see that the X1 was on all day, even if my wife just watched a few minutes of TV.

Maybe if they introduce the option to turn on the X1 and go directly to TV, full screen, I would change my mind. Maybe.

I have the option and have no desire to use it. I prefer pressing one command on my harmony remote turning on my receiver, TV, XB1, and then setting all inputs. I feel bad for people who don't have a harmony universal remote.

I feel bad for people who spent $100 on a Kinect 2.0 that they'll never, ever use. Oh wait, I'm one of them!

And especially THIS. Sorry for the people that buy the One without a Kinect? That is comical. You should feel sorry for us poor bastards that threw a $100 bill into the garbage.

5pb. announced three new Xbox One adventure games during a Niconico presentation this morning.

First, the developer’s previously announced Chaos;Child, whose platform was yet to be announced, will launch for Xbox One sometime in 2014.

Next up is Mystereet F: The Detectives’ Curtain Call, which includes Abel Software’s original Mystereet and a completely new version of the still incomplete Mystereet 2 re-developed for Xbox One.

And finally, 5pb. are also developing an Xbox One game based on the Psycho-Pass anime. It will have an original story drawn up by Nitroplus, and it will support both Kinect and Smartglass interaction.
I... I have no idea what any of that actually means... but yay games?
