Actually, there's a countdown site out there for Halo 5, finishes on Sunday, so it might be that.

So, I have been used to this screen for a long time, but have I set my xb1 wrong? Why do I only see half of my friends screen (to the right) I followed all the set up stuff.
Anyone know how to sort it out? Is this just happen to me?
Thanks for any information in advance.

What do you mean Deco?

You mean the Friends tab the way it's only showing half the box until you scroll over to the next tab?

It's meant to be like that...?


Here's another from google that shows it the same:

it might be your screen ratio or picture mode. Mess around with the picture mode, (e.g)16:9, wide, fit, expanded, etc, etc.

When you're in the correct picture mode for your XB you wont see the halves.

I'm in the correct picture mode and I have the halves, always had regardless of what screen I was playing on?

I'll see if I can reproduce it.

*edit: mine has the same halve of friends box. I hadn't noticed it... Looking into it now

I think they are doing that so people know there is still something to scroll left and right for.

Mine is the same, think its supposed to be like that, doesn't bother me at all.

Is there any way to turn off voice on the xbox one? Nothing worse than listening to young people roaring down the mic .

I remember on the 360 I could turn it off in preferences but cant find it on the one

Best thing you can do is just create a party when you come online and set it to invite only. Then game away as normal and you won't have to listen to little squeekers!

the problem is chat I assume, as most heasets will get you audio, either out of the tv aux out or direct from the optical port on the back of the one.

I did this

http://www.instructables.com/id/Xbob-360-to-Xbox-One-Headset-DIY-Conversion-Turtle/

be aware that the wires are feckin tiny, and, if you are like me, and cant solder worth a bit, then this is not for you. - and at this stage I'd go away and buy the adapter for 20 quid or whatever it is. These adapters werent available at the console launch, so so McGuyvering was needed.

also, if you have one of these


you can run the optical out of your xbox one directly - but you'll still have no chat.

also, you didn't attach any picture so I'm kinda guessing what you have.

It'd be worth going to the headset thread to see what others have bought or done as well to see what might suit you best.

Forgot the picture ha. No il be using a headset adapter with the 3.5mm jack into it so I should get game and chat volume I think? It just let me attach the image , keeps sayin entity too large.

its basically just a wire coming off the headset with the 2 different sized jacks at the end of the wire . The jacks are in a white plastic thing so I would need to cut that and then cut the wire from the smaller jack.

Crikey. I just got back into Titanfall after the season pass and map packs were made free. I forgot how smoothly that runs for a Multiplayer game. It's a shame that more games don't use Azure for multiplayer.

God bless that MS Datacenter in Dublin and it's ~16ms ping times

Hi lads, ladies,

Just looking on adverts and there's some great deals on the Xbox one. I don't have much interest in gaming these days, but I'm wondering would it be worth getting one for the TV stuff?

short answer? - no.

Mr Freeze

On the 360 you could set the chat to output on the Headset or TV speakers or come out both.

Is there a similar option on the ONE?

I couldn't see it.

I've been using the headset for chat, and never bothered with Kinect. Is Kinect any good for party chat?

its grand, if you like to subject everyone else in the party to you sounding like you're trapped down a well. and it'll pick up every noise in the room, including the sound from your tv speakers.

PSA - don't be that guy who uses kinect for game chat.

Question: If I download the 15gb Forza Fast n Furious expansion onto a suitable usb drive, could I then just copy it to my son's xbox...... instead of having to download it onto his as well?

Yes, it needs to be usb 3.0 and 256GB+, you format it for games when you attach it to the console and can then copy games onto it - just make sure you select copy rather than move.

When buying games that are digital codes is there any way to know if its a legit copy and not a shared account? Bar the usual high rates sellers etc?

If it's a shared account thing would you have to log in with their account on your console rather than put in a code?

So if you redeem a code in the store and it starts to download on your account your golden right?

Yes sir!
