So I have a disc stuck in the drive and it won't come out. Tried the forced eject thing and the disc is still stuck n there. The Blu-Ray drive has yet to even detect the disc.

*edit*

It's making horrible grinding noises now after I turned it off and back on.

The grinding noise may be fixed by literally hitting the side of your console hard. I'm not joking, look it up on Youtube.

Shouldn't new Games with Gold go up today? Or is the bone just getting 2 games at the beginning of the month?

I think the bone's only getting 1 per month for now. They'll probably ramp it up as the 360 fades out and the bone gets more of a back catalog to give away.

Xbone just getting 2 games at the beginning of the month.

EDIT:

Looks like they are in the process of offering a deal on Dead Rising 3 as a "deals with gold" thing, it shows up on the dash in that section, but the price hasn't changed yet.

Is the vanilla game worth $40? I've been eyeing it up, but I only played part two and I sort of lost interest in it.

I thought DR3 was fun at $60. Remember it having a good amount of content. Certainly the most fun launch exclusive on either new console.

If you get it, get the new DLC too. Not the season pass stuff, the Super Ultra whatever pack. It's great.

quote:

If a developer uses the Kinect-free option, their game is flagged as a non-gesture game. Not only will the game not be able to support gestures, but system gestures—such as reaching out with both hands and bringing them together to minimize a game and return to the dashboard—will not work. Visual recognition features won't work, either, so, as Spencer told me, "If I sat down next to you, Kinect isn't going to realize I'm now there until I quit the game."

On the other hand, voice commands will still work. You can still say "Xbox, record that" and grab clips even in non-gesture games, Spencer said, noting that the system's verbal user interface will keep running. Since those voice commands are going through the Kinect, then the Kinect is doing something, just not anything visually intensive.

I'm ok with this. At least kinect-free doesn't nerf game/clip recording, though I think the PS4 still has better sharing options overall.

I thought it was pretty solid but depends how you like GTA-style sandbox games. I hadn't played 1 or 2, but played through 3 twice (first playthrough took maybe 12 hours, second playthrough on NG+ maybe 4).

I'll have to grab it if it's still on sale. I didn't see it on the Gold deals list last night, but it might still be there.

The voice commands are cool and a welcome keep, but I don't know anyone that will be sad or confused that they can't make odd gestures at the screen to do something that was previously very easy to do with a button on the controller they were already holding

If someone is used to it recognizing them, or using some hand gestures that are a system function and they just seem to stop working when using this game its going to confuse people.

Yeah and I'm saying that's a non-issue because the hand gestures are dumb as hell and no one uses them, which is one of several reasons why they are just going to remove that functionality

Yeah, I am not saying that no one in the history of the world uses them or anything but I bought a bone at launch, use it every day, love it to pieces, use voice commands constantly, and had no idea that I could wave my arms around to minimize a game. I have never once use a gesture for anything.

I have a game I bought off of live stuck download fully and then get stuck at 77% install. I don't really even know what to try but turning the system off and on again doesn't seem to change anything. Should I try deleting it and re-downloading to see if the install works right a second time?

Except for the goatse gesture. That one is the best.

I do think losing the Kinect auto-sensing controller thing might be the most confusing thing about it, but I'm not sure most consumers ever understood that was a feature anyway.

For whatever reason, my bone has refused to log into Netflix with my account. Literally no other device is having this problem - 360, desktop browsers, Apple TV, etc.

If by shutdown, you mean a full shutdown (holding the power button for 10 seconds), then yes I would try deleting it and re-downloading it.

Same. Love voice commands but the only time I use gestures it's by accident and it pisses me off.

That would require it to be watching for the gesture. Unless you mean at launch it says gestures disabled.

I'd assume it would happen at launch. On the 360, games with Kinect features (even when they aren't Kinect games, like rocksmith) have a standard "this game has Kinect features" splash screen at the start. It wouldn't be too difficult to have a set screen saying "Kinect gestures enabled/disabled" before titles upon launching a game for the small number that use gestures as opposed to buttons or voice in-game.

I like leaving gestures on, just for the experience the xbox interpreting hand motions as commands. Like, last week, my wife and I were eating Thai food while watching TV, and the xbox thought the action of bringing a cluster of noodles up from the bowl, away from her body, then bringing them to her lips was a command to pause the movie we were watching. On the other hand, the voice commands work. On the other other hand, it also thought the Aaron Paul "xbox on" commercial was telling it to go to the Home screen.

I legitimately love my weird, jankity, consolentertainment hyper-v server center thing.
