is it worth getting the kinect version of the xbo, or just get a bunndle without???

You can buy the kinect for €28 in CEX if you really want it.with the next update, their bringing quicker ways of navigating the menu's without using the kinect anyway.

thanks lads, just starting to look around at upgrading in next couple of months

As you play, you unlock "Grimore Cards" which can be viewed on Bungie.net, which apparently serve as some "bonus reading" covering that sort of stuff.

Mind, it's pretty stupid forcing you to a website to do it, but it is there, kind of....

I was wondering what they was... thanks.
Pretty lazy to me is: Bioshock pick-up recordings (still kinda cool), outright lazy is books in Skyrim... but publishing info to a website for reading outside of the actual game-world? Plain cheeky if you ask me.

Any idea when voice commands will be supported?

You have to choose a spoken language. Just go to Settings and in where you change region, you choose spoken language beside Ireland, set to English and save. Should work then.

Was able to pre order, and pre install fifa 15 the other night. So my understanding is, the minute the clock strikes 12 on the release date, I'm able to play it. Very very cool feature. This feature has probably been around for ages but I'm relatively naive with these things

Correct - as long as you bought it from the marketplace you live in. - if you bought it from the US marketplace, you wont be able to access it until midnight in america.

Are people still playing Titanfall online? Planning on picking it up with Destiny and a new console but there's not much point if there's no community there.

Does anyone use their box as a through put for TV?
I noticed that the OneGuide is now supported in Ireland yesterday.
Not sure how long that's been the case, but it's a welcome addition!

Now for some fooking voice recognition support ... ... ... :pac:

I use it, works grand, the free to air / saorview combo box that i use was recognised as well, the only downside is that the oneguide only covers the saorview channels - and if your set top box isn't programmed in the order it expects, it picks wrong channels.
for example on my set top box its rte 1, rte 2, tv3, tg4,3e , rte junior, but as far as I remember the oneguide expects it to be rte1, rte1+1, rte2 etc.

the voice recognition is up and running - you just have to turn it on.

Yeah, there's not much you can do when you have a cross country set up like that. It's a pity it doesn't allow manual channel selection. One guide is missing channels from the UPC lineup alright, but I hope that get's fixed.

Seriously, voice is active? This is good news

Regarding NAT configuration: My current setup is a nightmare. I have 10MB Eircom line, delivered through an ancient netopia router. However, the guy who owns the house used to complain of the crappy WiFi signal, so disabled it, and connected a Dlink router to the Eircom box, essentially using the Eircom box purely as a means of receiving the phone cable. Thus, creating a mindfúck of pain regarding NAT settings/port forwarding.
Since I got my Xbox ONE last week, and despite having spent 2 hours trying various settings on both admin pages of both routers, I've had no luck. However, efibre just became available... so I've ordered it and they will be providing a shiny new router. Is there a boardies guide to correct NAT settings specifically configured with Eircom efibre in mind?

I'm aware of what ports need to be opened, my main concern is the actual router UI, and having to correctly navigate it and configure the static IP for example, or the DMZ if that is required! Any tips/links welcome.

EDIT: Just found this link, and couldn't find it initially - which resulted in much frustration! http://portforward.com/networking/static-ip-xbox-one/ I'll review this when I finish work!

D4 launched today. Downloaded it earlier and it's a fantastic game, good reason to dust off the kinect aswell

There are a few requests on the Xbox Feedback site for creating personal channel lists (i.e. in the order you want and with the channels you want).

It's fairly low at the moment, with only 100 votes

If we could select the channels we like (i.e. from Freesat / Saorview) and put them in the order we would like (e.g. channel 1, 2, 3 and not 801, 802, etc.) that would be great.
