Just picked up AC bundle with kinect for $349 at Best Buy with their misprint in yesterday's Ad that I got at the store. Relaxing

Uh... Kupo?

Uhh I'm pretty sure that the kinect actually lowers the value of the Bone.

Although I just bought the kinect-less version of that bundle for the same price so really neither of us are winners.

So, I just got a Bone, and I noticed that the RB has a noticeable click when pressed, while the LB is not audible. I assume this is not normal, correct? It seems that the LB is a bit softer too, which I like.

Also, as I was searching, I found a lot of opinions of the bumper buttons. There is even a video tutorial about how to press or use them properly (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RF-smJELJ4A), however Anyone have any advice or use a particular 3rd party controller? For instance, if I need to rapidly hit the RB1 button, I find the PS4 bumpers to be easier to use. I do like everything else about the XB1 controller, though.

The bumpers are notably poo poo on the xbone controller, sorry :(

They moved where it hinges which made them really squishy by all accounts

Did the Xbox one fix the issue of their rubber joystick pads wearing down and sloughing off? My Xbox 360 controller's kept losing the right stick rubber padding every couple months, maybe because I played too much NHL on them.

It would be cool if they fixed those.

Yeah I wanted it for stuff like that, Elite just tipped me over the edge although I have to say I am not really liking Elite, it's reeeeeeally outside of the kind of stuff I usually like and I dunno, it's not really me at all.

Just setting up my Xbox One now. Messing around with the TV thing. Do you guys use it? How do you like it?

Also, when I change channels the Comcast guide information pops up after I change the channel. Is this common? Anyway to disable?

That's most likely a comcast-specific thing and not related to the Xbox, which does its own independent overlay.

Holy crap, do some people have acid sweat or something? I have 360 controllers that I've used for years that only ever had the 4 lil' nubbins worn off on.

Bonetroller doesn't have the nubbins, ol' launchy looks the same as when it came out of the package.

Some people literally play with their fingernails dug into the sticks. It's pretty much the opposite of those people who play with the ends of their thumbs and therefore can't use a dualshock, idgi

In other news, another game with parity, seems to be the trend lately :v::
