They have a roadmap for updates for 2015. Seems like monthly updates will continue.

Phil talks about working with Ted Price. Glad that Insomniac was able to make a game they wanted.

Talk about Halo:MCC and the video documentary.
Phil talks about how they moved on for Holiday 2015 and E3 2015. He said next Fall will be crazy and doesn't even know how they will ship all the games they are planning for the Fall. Said it was possible that they might have to move some games so they wouldn't be overcrowding (starts around 36:15).
Talks about gaming on Windows. Will have more to say in 2015.
Said it was a good time to compete this holiday with the bundles and the price drop.

Do you use that little 3.5mm to 2.5mm cable that came with the adapter for those earbuds?

If so how do you do it?

Those earbuds you posted are 3.5mm so you plug them in directly to the adapter with out that little cable.

I think I have a faulty headset adapter and I am going to try to send it back and if not I'm going to return it to Walmart with that no receipt return policy and see what happens.

Man I hope it's not the system or the controller though.

Will keep searching online for some solutions to this problem.

 

[putting in work]

Oh yeah does anyone know where the serial number for the headset adapter is so I can register it and send it back.

You should be able to connect directly into the chat adapter without the 2.5 mm adapter.

I had a chance to watch the Halo 2 documentary today. I never played Halo 1, 2 or 4 but my body is ready

 

[cragmatic]

Ok, so I know this is dangerous posting this in an xbox thread.. BUT, someone convince why I should or shouldn't get an Xbox One.

I have a PS4 now, and would still be primarily using that, am mostly only interested in the One for Halo and Gears. I grew up on Halo, so the Master Chief collection looks great. But getting a secondary system for games I've already played seems kinda silly.

If I get one, it'll either be now for the COD bundle, or I'll wait for next year for whatever Halo 5 bundle they will have.

Well if you want to play Halo and Gears you'll have to get it. Is it worth getting the console for that?

 

[cragmatic]

No matter what, I'm going to get one for Halo 5. I guess what I'm looking for is other exclusives that are A titles, and am afraid that the MCC will get old quick. But on the flipside, it could be freaking awesome ha ha.

• Regular updates that adds fan picked features to the console such as custom backgrounds, usb media playback, etc
• multitasking. You can do two things at once.
• suspend/resume. You turn off your xb1, then turn it on the next day. You're back in the game exactly where left out.
• non-gimmicky controller. The impulse triggers add little subtleties to games and the rubber lining on the thumbsticks adds some grip. Which enhance the experience.
• It updates games/downloads purchases, even if the console is off.
• smartglass app, it's basically xbox facebook
• The OS makes everything easy to find and you can bookmark certain games/apps like the 360.
• You can smoothly play games off of an external hdd.
• ea access app, which gives you full access to battlefield 4, sports games, plants vs zombies for $30 a year, it's videogame netflix
• You can stream videos to your xb1 or play them through a usb drive
• It costs $350 until 01/02/15. You can get $100 by trading in a working 360 through microsoftstore.com
• Great exclusives so far. Forza Horizon 2, Titanfall, Sunset Overdrive, Halo. m$ is already gearing up for Holiday 2015 with halo 5 and quantam break
• As of right now, you get to keep all the free games you get with xbox live. The games don't go away once you stop your xbox live subscription.
• You can gameshare with a trusted friend. You both can work out a deal where you can get new games for $30 a piece.
• xbox rewards. You get xbox currency for buying stuff. Nothing major.
• Superior online network of supposedly 300,000 servers. Which leads to fewer network issues. m$ provides dedicated servers to some games like titanfall

I think it's on the inside of the adapter. It's a 6 digit number;on the right side of connecter.

Correct, you won't need that converter cable.

Have you updated your controller?

Connect your controller to your xb1 to see if you need to update your controller.

Spoiler: updating controller

1. Make sure your console is on and you’re signed in and connected to Xbox Live.
   Note It’s important to connect to Xbox Live because your console will need the latest system update, which contains the newest controller software. If you’ve connected recently, your Xbox One is probably already up to date, but you should connect anyway just to be sure. If your console needs an update, you’ll be prompted to install one.
2. Plug the Stereo Headset Adapter into the bottom of your controller.
3. Plug in a headset (a headset must be plugged in so the adapter will turn on).
4. Plug the big end of the included USB cable into the port on the side of the console.
5. Plug the small end of the USB cable into the top of the controller.

1. Instructions to install the update should automatically be displayed. Follow the instructions, and don’t disconnect the USB cable while the update is in progress. (The process can take up to 3 minutes.)
   If instructions to install the update are not automatically displayed, you can start the process manually. To do this, press the Menu button, select Settings, select System, select Update controller, and then select Continue.

1. When the update is complete, unplug the USB cable. If you have additional controllers to update, connect them now, one at a time, select the Update another button on the screen, and then follow the steps.

Press the Xbox button on the wireless controller to turn it on. Your controller is now up to date, and you’re ready to use your Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter.

My lil bro got a ps4 6 months before I even purchased the xbox 1 so I have used both. I prefer the xbox one experience a lot more ( I had a ps3 btw and hated 360) .

Controller is up to date and I just tried using the mic that came with my system and I see the speaker thing next to my name but I can't hear game audio.

When I say game audio I mean like the music and footsteps and gunfire and all that other stuff.

I still don't know how you guys are getting all of that without having anything plugged into the TV or the Xbox itself and getting the sound that comes out the TV speakers.

I will continue to trouble shoot this, but what if it's my system or controller I don't want to send it away right when MCC comes out.

When I use the included headset, I can't hear game audio either.

Do you have any other 3.5mm earbuds to troubleshoot with?

Do you have anything plugged into your tv like a sound bar?

You try adjusting the volume on the chat adapter? Press on the game controller icon and + at the same time.



And finally set up my TV with my Xbox. It's pretty cool. I might not used it much tho cause I game on a monitor, but we'll see.



btw, can i watch usb files on this thing yet?

I don't have a sound bar hooked up to the TV.

I have the Galaxy S4 and iPhone earbids as well as my audio technica mth50.

The thing is i hear the boop/beep sound when i volume up on the controller like when it means max high audio level but i don't hear others talking or game audio.

Getting frustrated with this crap.

I will try that in a little while.

I have to wait until I finish watching a movie with my chick.

You'll just need to format your hdd to exfat or fat32 or you can stream.

I'd try what nawzlew recommended.

Have you contacted xbox support about this issue?

http://support.xbox.com/en-US/conta.../billing-and-subscriptions/account-management

I'd recommending calling, since you'd have to troubleshoot.

I'm going to feel like a fool if that's all it takes.

I've had my adapter for a while.

I didn't know you could do that.
