    I've never surfed the web on a console, but I wonder is it possible to watch those sites that stream video from the xbox one? (no, not porn! the ones that show the satellite feeds from eurosport and the like)

    yes its possible, most work but some dont load for whatever reason. Helps if you enable mobile

    They should work as long as they are HTML5 and not flash based.

    Just picked up BF4 yesterday after trading in a few games, any players here?

    Complete noob to the series but after watching a lot of gameplay on twitch decided I'd jump in.

    Is the "premium pack" worth it?

    Well. Just attempted my first game. Looks terrible, horrific frame rate slow downs and rubber banding lag. Back over a to titanfall I go.

    I guess you need to have played BF4 on the 360 to appreciate it on the XBone. :P

    I haven't played Titanfall since I got it for the latter. It's all about the gameplay.

    I noticed last night when I popped a few achievements in Trials that it didn't update on the home screen until I went in and viewed my profile.

    (side note: Trials is great :))

    http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-04-24-xbox-one-and-fifa-14-bundle-spotted-for-329

    329 pounds that is, or 399 euro with fifa. surely worth a punt for someone

    Overclockers have a FIFA 14 bundle for £299 (only 4 left though) ... About €365.

    If I didn't have one already, I would be buying this.

    I picked up Titanfall a few days ago. Now I must qualify this by saying I haven't played a lot of games of this sort and when I have I tend to die repeatedly but given all that, I must say I was disappointed.

    Looks quite ordinary and seems very repetitive. Am I missing something?

    Another one of those over-hyped generic games imo. the novelty wears off after a few hours.

    I can take into account that it may not be my preferred genre of game but still, quite disappointing I thought. I enjoyed Halo 4 multiplayer much more.

    I'm sure afficianados of mulitplayer shooters have a better sense of its quality.

    Forza 5 is great though!

    Picked up Ryse yesterday with some CEX vouchers that were gathering dust, start that later :)

    In the Forza car designer, if you load in someone else's vinyl group to a design does that mean you can't share the design when you're done? Spent a while recreating Ken Block's Gymkhana 5 yesterday but can't seen to share it - think it's due to the monster logo I used from someone else, has a little locked symbol on it. Would that be it?

    Have a birthday coming up and I'm seriously considering treating myself to a scuf controller.

    Does anyone else have one? Or even in 360? Are you happy with it?


    Ordered one for myself as a treat :)
    Went for the yellow one with 4 paddles and progrip etc.
    I hate the standard one as I find it slipping in my hands after a while and it really annoys me.
    Cost me around €200 but if I get a few years out of it will be well worth it. :)
    Will post a review once I get to grips with it:)

    Titanfall was fun, but like you, I found it got repetitive quite quickly. I can't put my finger on it exactly what the difference is, but Halo (2 & 3 particularly) you could play forever and not get bored. I think the lack of a web-based stat center is a loss. Bungie stats or Battlelog for Battlefield add to the whole game experience and is something you can share with people away from your console.

    sweet, my birthday has come and gone and I didnt make the move, tbh, what I was waiting on was the ability for the user to remap the buttons to my own preference, I dont know exactly what I'd want to map to the paddles so it'd be great to be able to choose.

    Ryse is a brilliant game but doesn't have alot of replyability.

    And yeah in the car designer if any part of your design is downloaded from a shared user then you cant share it.

    its easy and quick enough to make most logos yourself though i think

    Wonder will this stuff be free? Though given previous form I wouldn't bet against it being region locked to the US and UK leaving us out in the cold again.

    I'd very much doubt it. I heard on igns podcast unlocked that they're looking to bring their video service to a standard close to Netflix / Amazon video. Presumably some US shows will be region locked due to deals with sky etc. But like Netflix, the original programs would air worldwide at the same time.
