Microsoft have one on their US website but not Irish:
I just assumed Gamestop would have them, as anyone with a flat screen might need one.
You could also just use some gaffer tape.0 -

Got my Day One Xbox One delivered from Gamestop.ie this morning.
Controller is gorgeous to hold and use and the console is about as big as I expected but it's absolutely silent which is nice.
Only have FIFA 14 to play at the moment and it's currently downloading so I said I'd pop on here and give some first reactions.
Quick few points about Kinect. As most of you already know, Ireland is not currently supported at launch for Kinect voice recognition. If you choose Ireland as your local region during the setup, Kinect voice control won't work. That being said, you can change the region at any time in the system settings and it just requires a system restart to apply the change. I changed my region to United Kingdom and the Kinect voice recognition now works perfectly. I'm really impressed by just how good it works which makes it all the more baffling why Ireland isn't a supported country at launch.
Of course there is a downside to changing the region and that comes in the form of the Store switching to the UK Store. All games are priced in Sterling and I'm not sure if purchases will go through. I won't be testing it out anyway as the digital prices are, as usual, fairly steep. Some games also seem to be priced at a much higher price in the UK store (NBA 2K14 is £54.99 as opposed to €59.99, Dead Rising 3 is £68.99 instead of €64.99) so that's another reason not to pruchase. :pac: You do however get the chance to download the UK apps including YouTube which I don't think is available on the Irish Store yet.
It's a very simple work around at the moment to get Kinect voice recognition working and only takes 1 or 2 minutes to change region so I suppose I can live with the UK settings for now seeing as how handy the voice controls are.0 -

Are you sure you clicked on the correct Dead Rising? There is a special edition one on the Irish store, costs 89.99 IIRC, has some description "Based off of Battle: Los Angeles" so I'm guessing it's included DLC.
Started downloading FIFA 14 on my 6mbps connection at around 10:30am, it's now at 51%, I'm actually surprised as it's quite fast. The FIFA 14 early access on 360 took around 8 hours, and they're around the same size.0 -

Yup, I tried to balance it, no hope. The lever type thing is only for directing the Kinect downwards. The little bar that overhangs on the front is some sort of speaker/sensor (has little holes in it).ShiverinEskimo wrote: »Just this bollox so far.
Got mine at 8:30am.

at the Xbox event they were mostly just sitting on top of the xbox itself or underneath the TV. Kinect doesn't have to go on top of the TV. Although I know many people will need to place it above the TV due to their setup and preferences.Yup, I tried to balance it, no hope. The lever type thing is only for directing the Kinect downwards.
