Or they could just support standard NTFS partitions on xb1 with no hassles.

Yah pretty sure they did not think about that before and have certainly no good reason to do not go for NTFS. Thanks god you are here :)

You can't be serious. Skydrive is too small unless you want to pay a bunch of money, it's limited by your internet speed, and isn't compatible with all devices.yyou just wrote a gigantic post that reads like a Microsoft PR piece. I have many Microsoft and windows products. That does NOT mean I want an external drive to effectively become only usable on an Xbox unless I reformat it. That's just asinine. And ditto ps4 if they pull that crap there.

Well damn.  I have over 125GB via OneDrive and I paid $0.  Use Bing for searches and you get 100GB for free.  Just earn and redeem 100 points toward OneDrive storage.  For a new user, that's 107GB right there. 

How isn't OneDrive compatible with all devices?  If there isn't an app for it, there is the OneDrive website.   

You're killing me Smalls!

Once again, you can partition the drive.  You aren't limited to using 100% of the HDD space for the Xbox One.

Thanks lol. BTW encrypted container files could be used to protect their proprietary xb1 software instead of rendering the drive useless outside of xb1 usage or such inconvenience ad partitioning.

Not good enough. Needs to be plug and play compatible with standard windows partitions. 100gb is peanuts.



And don't think I'm letting Sony off the hook either this stuff should be basic standards.

Sounds as shitty as a nintendo policies on game videos.


and what exactly is shitty with Nintendos video game policies?  What out of place reply that was.....

Makes as much sense as saying "Sounds as shitty as Vita needing memory cards even tho its games are not disk based anymore"

Since you ask.

Vita needs cheaper ones that is for sure,

http://business.financialpost.com/2014/05/27/nintendo-announces-new-youtube-affiliate-program-focused-on-getting-ad-revenue-from-fan-videos/

Get approved by nintendo to do reviews. That is bullshit shitty.

No you can make reviews etc. you are just not supposed to be a dumb parasite which is not the case when you actually offer quality content (something of value) because you will be accepted as a partner. Even if you review Zelda and give it a 7/10 Nintendo wont kick you out.

But since Nintendo can obviously not know every single person that does reviews and can even less differentiate between stuff like gamexplain vs 12 year old idiot playing games  this program seperates the wheat from the chaff.  TBH The less useless shit is on youtube the better.

I want to see lets watchers etc.  stream 2h of a hollywood movie with using the bluray's menu etc (remote control input can be compared to controller input on a console) and nonsensical voice overs without geting in trouble. Hollywood will make their youtube accounts go the way of the dodo or sue them.

I am 100% pro youtube program and 100% against people getting money without doing much. I mean I can make a small logo and intro in photoshop/sony vegas within 5 minutes and then I can play my games but that doesnt make me entitled to any kind of profit.

If you do something that has value  like gamexplain / the bitblock etc. becoming a partner is easy. If everything you do is playing games without quality content well your problem. There is still some good lets players out there but 90% are redundant. Quality lets players and speed runners and reviewers will become partners easily so I see no problem at all.


But enough of that thats off-topic.

Still a dick move by MS.


Can't even believe what im reading. This is literally the first time i have come across a gamer who is in support of Nintendo's youtube policy.

People who do lets plays DO NOT get paid for not doing much. The only way you get paid is if people actually watch you. And to top it off they really dont get much. You have to have a serious amount of subscribers and regular viewers to make a decent amount of money.

The Youtube program from Nintendo is petty. They are taking a cut from add revenue from the people who supported them and freely advertise their games. Its a low move and a big slap in the face to their fans.

Also do you really think Nintendo will let you be a partner if you are critical of their games while playing it? You dont see any problem with this especially effecting the impartiality of the youtuber?

Big whoop, it's a beta where you shouldn't give feedback.

What's the issue?


Maybe I am missing something but it seems he got banned not for reporting something to MS but also posting what he reported to Reddit.  In order to get in the beta if it states not to report stuff outside of the program then you probably should not do it and force a ban.  It always kills me when people sign to not do something then do it and act all shocked that the company had to follow through with the penalty.

That isn't "techy".

Granted, it may be a little beyond the neophyte user, but it isn't "techy".  The way to resolve it isn't to open up the barn door and let the cows out.  The way to resolve it is to write a support document on how people can revert an external HDD from an Xbox One formatting to a standard Windows/PC formatting.  Likewise, offer instructions on how to dual-partition a HDD so you can use one-half for PC content and the other for Xbox One content.

Understand.  The Xbox One partition on the HDD is for DRM content ONLY.  Stuff you purchased through Xbox LIVE.  Not your personal music or video collection. 

I think you are overestimating a lot of users.  

I'm not saying it is difficult, or anything to that extent.  I am merely saying that so many people have absolutely no idea about a lot about computers.  As far as they care, the computer is a magic box.  

In my school, even some of the more "tech-savvy" have little idea about it.  

This is a fair point.  Remember Microsoft have gone to a lot of effort to innoculate users from  the C:/ world.  Many many users lose confidence at any tasks beyond installWizard.

What's a drive letter?  It doesn't have one? I see something that says C:, do I click on that?  My screen's gone black...

well if were going to bash ms for banning a guy for breaking the rules even though its for there benefit then we should also bash steam for doing the same thing

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=838640


This guy took a security exploit public because Steam wouldnt address the issue....

His actions has vastly different repurcussions. Yes steam is still dumb for not wanting to initially fix it...but by him going public he was making the problem worse.

Completely different case to this.

Actually no it is not.  If you signed something that says do not do this or this will be the result.  It matters now how serious the offence the company must follow through.  Its really that plain and simple.  By not following through the company risk everyone dismissing the policies and conditions for the program.  People really need to get off this entitlment type of thinking.
