they should.  That is horrible that their offices got flooded :/  MSFT has the money so it would be nice of them to do so

Lionhead, Media Molecule and Criterion are all a strones throw from them so maybe Sony, MS or EA will help.

British weather is merciless, and on christmas day!

very likely all of them will donate some money :)

Just opened it! Currently am updating the console now. My thoughts so far: I love how they packaged the console with foam instead of cardboard, for one. The console itself has a beautiful matte feel to it. Everyone built up the One to be extremely heavy, but it's not that bad... Love the white glow to the logos as well. My only complaint so far is the length of the power brick cord to the console. There's not enough length from my cabinet to the floor, so I had to put the brick on the cabinet mixed in with all the obnoxious DirecTV cords; it's an absolute mess in terms of cables. The 360 and Wii U cables are WAY longer, so this is a negative IMO. Merry Christmas everyone!

I would offer my help if I had a Xbox One.

I'm assuming everyone's having an Xbox filled X-mas? lol

Or spending it with fam! I just got back lol

I havent been home (Been with my family) but like i said earlier i installed Max on my step brother's console through the cloud.  He played it for about 10 straight hours, no joke lol  He loved it.  He is 18 by the way ( 4 years younger than me). 

He also got The Last of Us but he wasnt liking it, kind of surprised really.  I love The Last of Us.  He doesnt like Uncharted much either though.  He isnt a big fan of the linear story approach in games.

Anyways then the little kids saw max and sat their and watched for hours.  They were playing Mario 3D World and Sonic's Lost World for most of the day.  Which by the way, i havent played Sonic yet but it seemed pretty decent to me from what i saw of it.  Kind of surprised me since the score is so low.

interesting. I got some Microsoft points and couldnt use it on XBO. I thought it may be because they switched to currency instead. Anyways i was able to add funds throught X360 so if you all ever get Microsoft points instead of currency add funds through X360 as they wont work on XBO. Currency goes across platforms though so it isnt a big deal but a nuisance none the less.

Dumb question about the power and startup guys... If I say "Xbox Off" and say Yes, that COMPLETELY turns off the system, right? I don't want it to be secretly on and wasting power and/or getting hot. Also, do you have the XBox as Power Mode, or energy saving? I'd like to do Power Mode, but make sure the system is OFF.

Voice commands are 50/50 for me. Sometimes it works for me and sometimes it doesn't I realize there is a process, like Xbox -> Select -> etc. You have to take a second pause as well. The TV features are great. All day (3 hours, rest spent with family) I've just been fooling around the UI and the TV features. Haven't even played a game yet.
