You don't think it's pretty clear that if it says bundle only that you need to buy a bundle to get it?

Oh I know what bundle means but in this context it should say unavailable. It cannot be purchased. Do me a favor and sign in to the microsoft store, go through the email verification so that you may shop, find the Jago "Bundle", and see if you can get it in your cart. You can't.. Microsoft doesn't understand the concept of "pretty clear".

Funny thing is original xbox had nice easy interface, Xbox 360 had the sliders my fave and NXE was good too then went downhill.

I agree fully. That original UI is still the best on any console IMO. It was soooo freaking out of this world. Been nice if you could change colors but even green it felt so mechanical and scientific. If the Xbox one had an interface like that I'd be in heaven. The NXE was also good. It had that sense that your apps and system pages were being moved around in that digital environment. The sliders were definitely the most intuitive.

 

 

I bought the Xbox One just a few months before the OS overhaul and I didn't notice much change. It's always been pretty speedy for me. There's more verticallity now. Tiles look bigger. Still confusing and feature rich.

Windows 10 is fucking amazing, save for the odd hiccup now and then what with Microsoft and their service mentality.

OG Xbox UI is brilliant as well.
