Out of curiosity, where is this information surfaced on the UI? I assume there's toast notifications in-game for low-power warnings.

So far I've only noticed it on the home screen in the lower right along with the time, but like you, I would expect something to pop up when it gets low in-game. I'll report back the next time my controller runs down if that doesn't happen.

It has a specific error code; 0x8027025a TV Took to Long to Start.

It is apparently caused by the same issue related to the Blu-Ray playback and other app issues where the Bone doesn't properly clear out its memory and those causes its apps to crash. A hard turn off fixes the issue right up but still. it'd be hilarious if it weren't dampening my ability to use one of my favorite things about the system.

Is this a common issue that you can link to other examples of? I haven't heard of it, but you make it seem like a common thing.

There were a lot of things I could give MS the benefit of the doubt on (for whatever reason), but when I was playing a game and it just quit instantly, with no warning, because my controller's batteries apparently died ... that was when I really knew that they had rushed out about 6 or 12 months ahead of time. I mean... how do you get THERE in your UI design?

It's a known bug for Blu Rays, confirmed on their forums I believe but I lack a cite or anything.

It's supposed to be fixed upcoming as per their claim, so it's assumed it's in one of these patches.

I just picked up my Xbox One on Wednesday because I got an early access Titanfall beta code from work and couldn't let it go unused. I'm very happy to see there's a thread on here where I can talk about it or (GASP!) say that I am enjoying it, without being ridiculed.

I feel safe here. Thank you.

Also I can't get over the clarity on the voice chat. It's almost creepy.

After the update I looked at the amount of disk space I have on my hard drive and I have like a little more than 250 GB remaining. I have two retail games, two arcade games,CoD Ghosts Onslaught DLC, some apps like YouTube, Fitness, etc. and the TitanFall beta installed. What the heck? Surely the system partition isn't taking up the rest of this.

Some of the games are monstrously huge for reasons I can't fathom. Ryse for instance is 36.3 gigs once installed and thats with a disc in the tray. Its a real issue though and that 500gb harddrive is looking like a not long term solution.

There are 362 gigs of usable space or thereabouts on the Xbox One. Call of Duty alone takes up 49 gigs, and depending on your other game that brings you down to 250 easily.

I actually came to post this myself. I was pretty shocked to find that my 500gb was half gone after playing 3 games. Will a USB3 hard drive offer acceptable transfer rates for playing games on? I guess we're either not done buying hardware for this thing or we're going to have to manage the drive constantly (though maybe this wont actually be an issue I can't see myself playing Dead Rising 3 in a year).

If you use the standby mode turning your Xbox off and waiting 5-10 minutes should do it. If it's working the light on the front of the Xbox should come on as it downloads. You'll also need to turn your console on after that for the update to install.

A Blu-ray disc can hold up to about 64GB of data iirc, so a game being as big as 49GB is no surprise.

I'm curious, since all games seem to install, is the only point of needing the disc inserted to make sure you own the game?

Blu-ray holds 25 gigs per layer with two layers being the current max. The spec theoretically supports more than that but it may not be worth it to make that work.

And yes, all games fully install, the disc is just a license check.

Tried Titanfall, and it's cool, but as someone that doesn't care for most online FPSes - this one isn't going to change that. I really wish the maps were bigger, or it had some kind of hoarde mode co-op thing, or... anything really, to make it not just Call of Duty with robots.

That said, it's way more fun than Call of Duty. I'll be kind of disappointed if this loses at market to "the same drat game you've played for the last decade." The wall running and mobility really open up the terrain in a neat way.

Judging by buzz in general PC master race competitive players do not like it. Console gamers seem to enjoy it and I think a lot of the CoD horde are going to move to it.

My fear is a lack of gun diversity hamstrings the game length. It looks superficially like there's only 6 main gun types and worse only two of them look good. It seems silly to want 15 combat rifles like CoD but I want 15 combat rifles like CoD. Without gun weight on the rifle there dkesnt seem to be a reason not to take it.

Regardless it's been real fun, but until I read what happens on the outset of the launch I won't be sold on it for 60 bucks.

Which really doesn't change much. Every game on the One had been 40 bucks at one time or another already and it wouldnt take a month for this game to drop into that realm unless it's a huge hit, abd then it would probably be worth 60

I'm enjoying the Titanfall beta a lot more than I did the bf4 one, I'll buy it at launch.

Snapping seems more snappy after the patch, kinect notices my hands a lot better now too. The whole UI feels a bit smoother, but maybe that's just placebo. Haven't had a chance to play games so can't comment on the sharpening filter. The whole thing downloaded and installed without me knowing which was nice, I had trouble with auto downloads in the past so hopefully that's all over!

Edit: looks like the sharpening filter was definitely toned down/removed. You can see some good gif comparisons here http://www.dualshockers.com/2014/02/15/heres-how-the-titanfall-xbox-one-beta-improved-after-the-removal-of-the-dreaded-sharpening-filter/ nice little improvement.

I don't think that's true. It's a really fun, yet graphically unimpressive and flawed game that's perfect to pick up and play for 30 minutes. The issue is that it's a $20-30 B-game being hyped up as a AAA game with a $60 price tag(which is unfortunate).

I'd say the conclusion is this: It's as silly for anyone to claim the game is garbage as much it is to claim this game is console seller. It's really fun in quick burst but not much more.
