This is the real first post, is the Xbox One region free?

Its not really, cause you posted it on the old thread.

I can confirm that it is indeed region free.

Damn I've been rumbled.

But cheers for the answer, is that games, Blu Ray and DVDs? Going to the states soon so thinking could pick up a couple of games on the cheap.

I dont know about dvds and blu rays (but i would suspect that they are restricted), but games are definitely region free. you could always take a chance and download from the US xbox live market though - I got titanfall from there for €43.

Has anyone been having a problem with the home screen on Xbox One. Last couple of days I can only see the home screen. I cannot see my pins to the left or the xbox store to the right. I also cannot access my friends list.

Playing online is working fine, just the stuff above!

My headset is fierce hit 'n miss. Works the odd time. Anyone else having this issue?

xbox one

i have had a issue where the control pad turns off when the headset is connected what i did was keep the control pad charging while you have the headset turned on might work with some luck

Just started playing Titanfall. I've posted my GamerTag details in the GamerTag thread if anyone's interested in adding me.

FYI: I'm usually seen getting stomped on by titans!

Ill try this tonight and let you know.

Edit: worked a treat, thanks!

Yeah I had this about two weeks ago and I think I needed to fully power cycle to resolve it.

Has anyone here had problems with the kinect sensor not powering up. I've tried the trouble shooting suggestions but no luck.
I got the official headset adapter this week, did the update for the controller. Any chance this might have messed my kinect up?...
Looks like I'll be sending it in for repair at this stage!

I had this problem as well, is your dashboard saying "Kinect is Unplugged"? and are you part of the preview scheme of new updates. I got in contact with MS help desk and they replaced mine straight away. I was very impressed actually with speed they replaced it. Called them late Monday evening 9pm and the new one arrived on Wednesday afternoon a day and half later. They also include postage to send the old one back. Just put on the sticker they provide with the return address and put the old Kinect back in the Box they sent it in. No fuss

On the MS help forums someone suggested it might be that if you xbox is plugged into a power strip with a surge protector that due to the fact the power brick also has a surge protector that the Xbox is not getting enough power??? One suggestion is that you plug your box into the mains into the wall directly.

I'm having a bit of trouble today trying to play FIFA today. It starts to load, goes through the motions of connecting to the EA servers etc until it comes to the "This uses an auto save....." But as soon as I hit OK it goes back to the XBox home screen. Happened a few times so far today and I've not had this problem since I bought the Xbox a few weeks ago. The game is downloaded onto the console. Any suggestions?

Try fully powering off the console by holding down the power button, then try again. That seems to sort pretty much every problem that pops up.

Xbox one not working?

ive been getting this strange issue sometimes

where i press the on button on the one and it makes its beep noise andthe lights starts flashing. (which i assume is turning on)

it hen go to sit down and a look at my xbox and its not on?
i then get up and press the power button again and it comes on but like as if its coming from a cold start (i get the green xbox screen)

i have my xbox in instant on mode

anyone else have anything like that?
should i be onto MS

Hi All,

I just swapped a PS$ for an xbox one day one edition with "Xbox One Launch Pack". I liked the PS4 but most of my friends are on Xbox One.

The Xbox One came with one game on disc (Tomb Raider Definitive Edition) and FIFA 14 which was downloaded onto the hard drive.

The issue I'm having and would really appreciate some help with is how do I restore the Xbox One to it's factory settings so I can set it up under my own name without losing the downloaded FIFA 14. At the moment the guy I did the swap with is listed as the main account and I don't want to remove his account without first of all knowing how to preserve the FIFA 14 game on the hard drive. I'm afraid if I remove his account I won't be able to log into the FIFA 14 game afterwards.

Thanks for the help.

I could be mistaken, but wouldn't that downloaded copy of FIFA be tied to the sellers account now, & only usable by you if you leave his account on the console?

That's my concern Myrddin and exactly why I'm looking for some expert help on this forum before I go and do something I'll regret!!!

I assume you've tried adding your own account to see if you can play it from there?

Just doing that now but I really don't want to have the sellers account on the console in order to keep playing the game as I don't think it would be fair to him or am I wrong???

I actually go on twitter every now and then to see what a few people are saying, for instance Swery to see if there's anything been said on D4, and also Phil Spencer. He comes across as a cool guy there, so it's great to see this development.
