drat what a badass.

I got the series s deal at target so I could have it in a different room. It’s wild how the saves transfer so easily while every other platform is godawful at it.

I understand the button aspirationally but I have only ever accidentally taken screenshots.

When I accidentally hit the button now (put batteries in that controller this morning and now it connects after refusing to for months), it brings up the guide menu and a popup to turn on share features. Which in the middle of a fight or something, is really goddamn annoying.

Move the share button to the back, put it below the battery cover, get it off the face away from boxes and bacon.

And I don't want a third button where there were once only two, because I've been playing video games since about 1987.

Also because social media poo poo doesn't run my life to the extent that I need likes and acknowledgement from strangers for a fortnite kill.

Besides, I mostly play sim games that they hate. Why would I screenshot Power Wash Simulator? Why would I want to?

Maybe. I do have to buy large size in all of my gloves.



What dumb proprietary bit do I need to take a controller apart so I can just remove the button and fill the hole with silicone?

You can turn on share features and then you'll just get a regular notification and a screenshot that you can delete in six months with all the rest of your accidental captures. Might be annoying if it pops up over cutscene dialogue but if you're accidentally hitting the share button mid-cutscene then I don't have any further suggestions.

Are people out here really taking Xbox screenshots to show their friends? I'd rather not have friends then look through a gears of war screenshot album or something.

It is perhaps not uncommon for people to capture funny, interesting or useful things to show people in places such as this very webpage, as well as other web pages.

I'm not against you having a share button, I just utterly despise the location. Put it somewhere else. Like up top, opposite of the sync button. Somewhere it's extremely unlikely to be grazed.

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."
If only we had some kind of watchful eye turned toward us that could read our expressions and know if we felt the need to share, or, kinect, at any given moment.

I have accidentally hit the share button when searching for the start and select buttons before. I didn’t get grumpy and run out to buy an older controller though, I just thought “oops” and then pressed the button I was meaning to press.

The paranormal investigator market bought all those.


I didn't rush out to buy a different controller. I'm using a 4 year old controller for my old xbone.

I wonder how hard it'd be to open it up and just put some tape on the contacts.

Back in the day when playing Soul Calibur 2 and Melee on the Cube, it was super common for one player to slip off the stick and hit the Pause button. I'm pretty sure one guy did it on purpose to throw the other guy off, but how do you prove that.

I used to frequently hit the touchpad on DS controllers by accident. The worst was in Trials which would reset you to the beginning of the track, which was super frustrating on some of those longer levels.

You can literally turn it off in the controller menu.

It’s funny because I think the capture feature was by far one of the outstanding features of the XBone.

I’m 34 and don’t have social media but my friends and I still send clips of tossing severed heads at people in Chivalry 2 or how the tornado dropped a hovercraft on me in BF.

this is social media op


I'm 49 and wish I had the button on the face of my controller because that would be easier than digging into the settings menu when I'm grabbing that last 15/30 seconds when something ridiculous happens when I'm doing dumb poo poo with my friends. Maybe when I finally buy a Series X I'll be the happiest goon ever.

I know, I'm just gonna spend that $60 as part of buying the Series X as I don't need multiple controllers. I have a PowerA controller that has something there, I think it's mic controls. I never mistakenly hit when using that controller. After this weekend my OneX is the oldest machine of the group of friends I play with so I'm the load in bottle neck.
