Around the Network

Gamerpics and other goodies have been leaked by the guy that got his Xbox One early!!

 



Just a small sample, there are over 220+ to chose from.

Also.



Shows how many people are online with every xbox on game!

If they show "Online in the last hour" and "Online in the last 7 days" that helps massively with knowing what a game sold!



 

COD on 360



On XBO



 

Wow, COD on X1 looks great!

Xbox One Shipped Early from Target

[Update]: The YouTube unboxing video has been taken down following a "copyright claim by Microsoft Corporation." However, the twitter account for MoonLightSwami is still active.

The original story follows below.

A shipping error may have turned out to be very beneficial for a few lucky people who ordered their Xbox One through Target.

One person, who goes by the twitter handle MoonLightSwami posted the YouTube unboxing video below. He claims that he ordered the Xbox One through Target, and they shipped it today, a full two weeks before the system's official launch.

Although the system is purported to require a day one patch to function, Swami's twitter account says the patch is currently available and he is able to get online

Another enterprising recipient of an Xbox One is selling the unit on eBay for the less-than-reasonable buy-it-now price of $10,000, as reported by Kotaku. However, the listing is currently inactive, with the message: "This listing was ended by the seller because there was an error in the listing."




       

So if you haven't been up to date, Target seemed to have a pretty big screw up and shipped some of these early. One guy started going more in depth and gave us all kinds of info and pictures, so I tried to compile what he got, hopefully I got all/most of it. Here's the results from the Xbox One Moonlightswami twitter rampage. RIP in peace.

When he booted the console, the day one patch was live--500mb. Also, these pictures are captured from his PVR.

First up: Example of the game info screen and size. For the rest of the games/images see this thread.



"Xbox One controller. Red bars next to home button are caused by flash"

Red seen here is likely to be picked up via Kinect:

Main screen, he picked red for his tiles. Last image shows some kinect stuff:





Note on tile color: 

my son wants to know if orange is a colour option for the dashboard, kind of a deal breaker for him.

@Moonlightswami 13m
I believe it is. I saw every color in the rainbow and more

All your shit:





Snapping game DVR:



List of games and achievements. Going to guess icons probably aren't up yet:




Featured challenges. Seems like neat things for the community to do:



Top games online, apparently will track the users in each game and list what the top is: 



When he put CoD: Ghosts in, it auto installs and can be played at 50%. It shows progress in the dashboard so you aren't stuck watching a screen:




Results of pressing home button in Ghosts

In game:


Home:



360 version of Ghosts:


XOne version:



Octane on Xbox One:


He took a DVR clip of the game:
Here, view it as an MP4 as the gif one is all kinds of fucked up. On the recording he said:

Unfortunately, clip looks choppy. Not a huge fan of the in Game DVR right now. Only negative I have had for the system thus far.

Snap within CoD:



Display and Sound options:

Here are the display and sound options: Res 1080p or 720p, HDMI or DVI, Color Depth 24 30 or 36 Bits per pixel,TV RGB limited or PC RGB full

And now sound options, HDMI: Stereo uncompressed, 5.1 uncompressed, 7.1 uncompressed, DTS digital surround, Optical: StereoUnCom DTS Digital

Some random tidbits from him:





@ElWeaponSecreto 2m
If you double tap the HOME button you can switch between snaps and the main focus. That is SICK!!!

Holding Xbox Button has the turn off controller, turn off system option.

‏@Moonlightswami 1m

Confirmed, I accidentally turned off my Xbox One with the highly sensitive power button on console and it started back up in 45 seconds!

but then...

CORRECTION XBOX ONE takes 17 seconds to get to the dashboard. I used a stop watch lol

(I don't even know)

@Moonlightswami 6m

If you speak clearly, Kinect works well.

Kinect cord is LONG AF, like 6 feet or something, HDMI maybe 5? and power cord decently long as well.

I tried using Kinect to navigate. Its INSANE, my friend even could do commands through a Skype call on my computer.

From what I currently see, there is no more busy or away settings on xbox. Only appear online and offline.

the system is quieter than an air conditioner on low!

After all this time, the console is a bit warm, but not hot at all. Still silent, really good sign



Im out of twitter jail for the moment. Prob last tweet for the night: Microsoft may not be the best with support, but Xbox One is GREAT

I reccommend the Xbox One to any and everyone, even with everything that is going on for me with them right now.

Aaaaaaand a mass gamerpic dump:

  
  




       

The wait is torture. Itching to get hands on mine.....
Probably spend like half an hour just messing about with the UI, and then start decapitating barbarians in Ryse



INSANE info dump Jay xD
