I won't care unless I read it on Amazon. That's the only metric that matters.


LOL I saw 2 reports on Amaxon with 1* - none from verified buyers and mentioning overheat problems from well before launch.

You realize Amazon users havent gotten a system yet.... right....



That sound is terrible. Its bad enough that I have a hard time believing it didnt destroy a disc.



Heres a couple more. http://www.cinemablend.com/games/Xbox-One-Suffers-Update-Disc-Drive-Issues-Ahead-Launch-60689.html

A couple things about the XB1: it was not designed to be stood on its side like the XB360. Doing so could potentially damage the drive. Second, and there should be a label on the console stating this, but the console should not be moved when a disc is spinning in the drive.

If someone does either of the two, it's not "defective" it's user negligence if a disc gets eaten or the optical drive goes out of alignment.

You are thinking about the 360. There is no reason for the console to not be moved while it is spinning. PS3 have been able to do that without sending the drive out of alignment since day one. The 360 is the only console I have ever heard of with that issue. Should not carry over to the One as it uses similar technology to the PS3/PS4.



My console has issues and so has my wife's



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Nope the x1 can't be used up on its side
