Xbox is deffo way sharper there its true. 4pro is good looking in play tho its not 100 dollars uglier imo from 10 feet away at full speed but i know different people feel differently about this hence the variety of choices in the market.

UI is bad and laggy as gently caress, even though I have a hardwired fiber connection. I don't know if it's something related to the external hard drive or the vast amount of digital games I own, but given that the UI becomes perfectly fine and snappy the second I don't have an internet connection, my guess is it has something to do with the sheer volume of ads and other bullshit they are loading in the background.

Yeah I'm suffering that as well

The actual layout doesn't make any sense either, I came from a PS4 where the UI is really clean and straight forward so I wasn't sure if I've just missed out on a setting somewhere or if the xbox menu is just a mess

Apologies if I came across as trying to say one is better than the other, that really wasn't my intent. I just wanted to know if there is any way i can have my games clearly laid out. All I can work out is to either add them to a group and add that to the home screen or directly add the game to the home screen which then takes up an entire segment

There's a Games & Apps section of the side menu that pulls up a pretty easy grid of all your installed software. If you wanna search the store or find something to buy organically good luck because it's a laggy mess.

In Store, press the Menu (hamburger) button, go to Settings, and turn off "Play videos automatically."

The auto play is fine, it’s just that I’ll actually want to watch the video they are trying to show me and I’ll have to scroll down five clicks and start it from the beginning, instead of merely hitting a “full screen this video” after I land on the game’s page

As far as UIs go I'd just like xmb from the PS3 which was perfectly fine and worked well enough for me. I actually prefer the current Xbone interface over the PS4 one because I like the way the groups are laid out, and I have separate groups for Xbone games, X360 games, and Xbox one the first Xbox games as well as video apps and poo poo. I just wish it wasn't laggy as gently caress at nearly all times. God help you if like me you have a large Rock band library you are occasionally forced to deal with.

I find PS4 folders much easier to deal with than the groups feature, probably because interfacing with it doesn't feel as laggy (and it removes deleted content automatically, which the Xbox doesn't do).

Having an easy one-press button for screenshots is something I miss on the Xbox as well.

Also, the fact we still don't have good names for the hamburger/two rectangles button is dumb.

I think you can long press one of the option buttons to take pics but dont take that as true.

So I live in Japan, and use Paypal to buy digital content on the Xbone. I did so on Monday in fact. Since Tuesday however, I'm unable to purchase anything. Strangely enough, I've deleted all payment methods, re-entered my Paypal details, but Xbox and the website still defer to older payment methods. Any ideas?

Did the region get switched? Im in Japan as well and not had that issue, but when I was in the states the system one day decided I lived in australia and that hosed everything up until I sussed out the problem.

Also did you update your payment info on website? I assume you did but thats the only way it works for me.

Thanks for the suggestions. Region hadn't changed. Deleted everything and added Paypal on the website. Nothing.

My concern is that both the Marketplace and the Xbone Store still have my old accounts as payments but not the new Paypal entered into the website. In fact, for some reason they have two Paypal accounts (same email) which don't match what I changed on the Paypal website.

Said "gently caress it" and bought an online code. Of course they can''t be redeemed for Xbox 360 games. :argh:
