Xbox One/360 Dashboard & Update Discussion (Retail/Beta/Preview Versions)

It's great to be able to set your region to Ireland and use voice.

I've noticed that Bing Voice Search appears to be gone (even though the settings page says that its possible with my combination).

The other, slightly depressing thing of changing region back to Ireland is that you see how little content we actually have compared to our US cousins.


I Love the snapped achievement app, very useful indeed. Been play most of my games this avo with that switched on.

I thought this update was meant to have voice control for us, mine doesn't seem to be working(i should add that I'm not in the preview)


I'm an idiot, spoken language was set to none...oops!

can anyone add me please?

Wow, I really like the Facebook style 'Likes', 'Comments' & 'Sharing' they're adding! Good job Microsoft!



In the next update, we’ll improve a number of social features to make sharing your gaming experiences with friends better and easier. Here’s a shortlist of features rolling out next week to those with early access to the Xbox One system update:

Activity feed updates: We’re adding new ways for you to interact with friends in the activity feed. The interface will change to a single column scrolling list that is longer and includes more content. We’ll add the ability to post text to your feed, and to “like” and comment on feed items. You can share game clips and anything else in the feed with friends either publically (to your activity feed) or privately (as an attachment to a message). You’ll also be notified when anyone likes, comments on or shares your items. Each user will get a personal feed on their profile, so you can see what specific friends have been up to. And, with SmartGlass, you can see what your friends have shared to their activity feed and “like” specific posts (additional activity feed support coming in future SmartGlass updates).

Expanded Friends area on Home: Right from Home, see what’s going on with your friends. Stay up-to-date with their current activity, the top trending games your friends are playing, and a leaderboard to see who has been working the hardest on their Gamerscore. We’re doing an extended preview on this, rolling it into the early access preview this month to a subset of our preview audience so we can refine it until it’s ready for the entire Xbox One market.

Mobile purchase: One of the most requested features on Xbox Feedback. Using Xbox SmartGlass or on Xbox.com, you can remotely purchase games and Add-on content. No more waiting to begin downloading when you get home – if your console is set to automatically take updates, your console will begin downloading your purchase.

Low battery notification: You asked for it, now a notification will pop up when your controller battery is getting low.
Disable notifications during video: Adding the ability to turn off notifications based feedback we heard from you.

Enabling 3D Blu-ray: An update to the Blu-ray player app will enable 3D Blu-ray functionality on Xbox One.

OneGuide in Brazil, Mexico, Austria and Ireland: Live TV listings can be configured for four new countries as part of this month’s Preview program. And now there is an OneGuide Issue Reporter available under the TV & OneGuide settings, Troubleshooting section.

Last seen time in Friends list: Direct from Xbox Feedback, the friends list will now show how long it’s been since a friend has been online. For example, “Last seen 20m ago: Forza Motorsport 5.”

In addition to these features, we are still always doing other work on the backend you may not notice including getting ready to ship in 29 new markets starting this September.

Thank you for your incredible support. You’ve helped us make Xbox One a great place to play games and we’re looking forward to the road ahead as we get ready to launch the most critically acclaimed games this holiday.

Mobile purchases would be savage. If the game could download away while you're at work and be ready to go when you get home, it'll be even sweeter. I have my console set to auto update but it never seems to do it. Hopefully this'll sort that out.

What happens when you get invited? I think Calex added me, is it down to Microsoft if they add you to the program?

Invited.

Yeah, I think you get a message on Xbox from Microsoft letting you know you're in.
