Haha. It's odd cuz I typically don't have any kind of issues downloading or instslling items.

are you installing from the disc or downloading?

hopefully with the transition to the new UI and Windows 10, this issue will be resolved.

not just to speed up installs/downloads, but to make the process and experience consistent and uniform across users.

one user shouldn't report that it takes him 5-10 minutes to install a game, while another user reports it takes more than an hour.

ah, yeah, it sounds like something is wrong. hope you can fix it.

but installing a game from a disc should be a consistent, uniform experience across users.

I could see them maybe bundling this for a 100 dollars. But at 150... unless you're a pro gamer, or a rich hardcore gamer... I don't see people buying it.

I'd like to try a Scuf controller, but I can't justify that kind of money for a slightly improved controller.

yeah apparently this article below claims other wise. but we'll see how they '' prove that.

Microsoft watched gamers at home to design the new Xbox Elite controller


13hrs ago

​


By now, if you're an Xbox One gamer, you know that Microsoft has a pretty badass controller on the horizon. But what's truly interesting about the new Elite controller, announced at the company's major E3 press event this week, is that it's the product of several in-home research sessions. According to Xbox Hardware Project Manager David Prien, the company realized that today's gamers are all about "customization and personalization." And so Prien's team enlisted pro-gamers picked from leaderboards on the company's own Xbox titles to help mold this new modular controller design.
But if you thought that the Elite controller was just for gaming's cream of the crop players, you'd be mistaken. Prien assured us that it's "not just for the pro-gamer. The idea here is that everyone can benefit from this." He also said that the hardware team had a "laundry list of over 100 feature sets," though, understandably, not all of that made it into the final design. We had an opportunity to get some close-up time with the new Elite controller here on the showfloor, so be sure to watch our interview with Prien below.

I'm a preview member.. But I don't see the BC stuff anywhere. Am I supposed to just put a game in my system?

You can put a game in your system that is on the list, or go to your games/apps, and scroll all the way to the right, and it'll show all the games that are ready to install.

Just know, there's only a limited number of games available, and you have to own them.
 
So, this new Pro controller or whatever, what is up with the D-pad? I don't get it.

You can switch them in and out for more control. Some like the traditional D-pad, and others like the raised D-pad. The raised one is good for FPS, as it's easier to hit on the fly than the low one that's on right now. The one that's on there now is better for platformers and fighters.
 
I really want that new controller... Some things I can justify.. This, I really can't. Not yet anyway.

I don't mind the guys doing remasters making their titles not BC.
 

Microsoft’s HoloLens Is Just As Impressive In Person. June 18, 2015 . 2:09am


Having been skeptical of the technology after its unveiling at Microsoft’s Press Conference this year, I’m now more optimistic about its future.


Today, I raced to the Los Angeles Convention Center for an early meeting with Microsoft. While the event was ultimately about Halo 5: Guardians, they had an incredible surprise for the attendees. From the waiting area, we were ushered into a very loyal recreation of a room on the Infinity, the flagship of the UNSC from Halo 4, which returns in Halo 5.

In the room, we were briefed as though we were new UNSC recruits, and were told that we’d been selected to demo a new UNSC technology: the (Microsoft) HoloLens. After giving us the rundown on how to wear it, we were each given a headset of our own. While at first heavy, most of its weight dissolved when the headset was properly fitted.

There is a rectangular window in the lenses where augmented reality can be projected: anything outside of this box is unaffected. Still, the effects were outstanding. We were ushered down a long hallway and asked to follow waypoints (just like the beginning of any Halo game) floating in midair, appearing as though it was an organic part of the world before me.

As I turned a corner, one of the windows opened, and I could peer inside to see a busy hangar full of Pelicans, Warthogs, and other UNSC vehicles preparing for sorties. I could move my head to any angle, and it would reveal new parts of the hangar, as though there was actual, substantial depth before me.

Finally, we were ushered into a room with a large octagonal briefing table. An image of the infinity appeared in the center of the table, and when I aimed a red reticule in the center of my vision on any part of the ship, it would highlight it and pull up detailed information about that specific part.

When the debriefing began, the model Infinity sank into the table and gave way to a hologram of Sarah Palmer telling us how Halo 5’s new Warzone game mode works. A hologram of the entire level would appear, and sections would have icons added to them as she spoke. To provide emphasis, these areas were zoomed in on and shown in detail.

Simply put, I felt like a rebel preparing for an assault on the Death Star. The holograms never budged, or shook, or glitched out—they seemed like organic structures you could reach out and touch. The HoloLens reminds me of an elaboration of Nintendo’s Augmented Reality functions on the 3DS, but instead of being tied to a screen, life itself is the screen.

Having been skeptical of the technology after its unveiling at Microsoft’s Press Conference this year, I’m now more optimistic about its future. It really is quite the spectacle, and can only be truly comprehended in person.

It had to of been an issue with my internet connection. I downloaded some like 60MB Witcher DLC and it took a few minutes when normally it takes a few seconds. I tried reinstalling the game this morning and it zipped. So must of just been having spotty internet last night.
