FFS. Just realised I'm an idiot.

For some reason I've been blindly assuming since launch that the USB port on the left side of the console was the only USB port - to the extent that I drilled a hole in my unit to hook my HDD up :pac:

Why didn't I just look at the back?!

Ah well, at least I know I can get a wireless headset now!

Gave me a good laugh.

The Xbox One also supports USB hubs. So if you ever really run out of USB ports just hook one of them in.

Hi there. Does anyone know of a way to download your achievements list as a spreadsheet or similar? Maybe a third party app or something?

Hmmmmmm don't know of a way for sure but sites like trueachievements might help, you can list achievements and stats in many ways there and possibly copy past into a .csv or direct to excel depending on the formatting needed.

Oh I used to use an app on android called achievement more pro. Think there is a free version too but the paid one was decent value if I recall.

If you care just looking to track them better , trueacheivements is the way to go , they also have an app on the one.

Microsoft held a big, behind closed doors Press Event in San Francisco on Thursday last week for Xbox and Windows 10, but all the information has been embargoed until tomorrow (1. March).

Unusually, there doesn't appear to have been anything leaked from the event on any other sites - anyone care to speculate?

• HoloLens preorders for Tech / Developers?
• HoloLens / Xbox integration?
• Back Compat Xbox 360 games coming to Win10 store on PC?
• Windows Store Apps on Xbox One?

Curse my slow typing ... that wasn't there when I started the post, honestly

I'm glad that they accurately represent the viewing angle in the First Person videos now - help to set expectation with early adopters.

Looks like some good tech, and good to see Microsoft try to temper excitement by getting it to developers first (or people with a few grand to spare) to build out the user experience by the time it evolves to a consumer product the hardware will have improved and likely become cheaper, and there will hopefully be a big software catalogue for it.

Mr Freeze

Regarding that MS news, someone from WindowsCentral that was at the event tweeted "WP is not dead" after it, so could it be something to do with a Surface Phone or something?

So any reason I should not get this?

I don't know whether to buy the Linx or a new TV for the Xbox

Max Mafioso

Yeah only after i posted the link i had a look at Amazon and can see I can get it for about €165ish

Mr Freeze

I'd love that Linx tablet too, no way can I buy that for myself and not have the missus notice.

Believe it or not I actually need to get permission off my mother and I am 36 fecking years old!
I mean I could get it and not tell her, if she doesnt see it she cant ask questions but I plan on taking this with me when I go to Italy and its gonna be obvious seeing me sitting in the car with a tablet that has a controller on it.
My plan is to tell her that I am getting it as my birthday present

Mr Freeze

Good one Max. Get it. Take that controller off when you go to Italy. You won't be streaming from the xbox then.

Actually!

You can totally stream the console to a different network provided you have a decent up speed. You just need to set up dns really, its not hard.

note: i take no responsibility if ye all get fired for playing xbox at work on the jacks.

Max Mafioso

Mother is contributing €80 towards the tablet!
Huzzah!!

Ended up being just under €70 for the Gold Edition.
Last week when I checked the prices on XE, I was getting it for abour €47. That's a big hike in exchange rates. Should have shopped around more, but didn't realise the rates had gone up so much. Lesson learned.
