Re: XBox One AND PS4 Discussion
I have been using the LS35x's from Lucidsound, and they are fantastic. The connect like a controller, so they do not require a basestation, and they don't need a tether to your controller.

Looks like the Amazon Alexa products can now control your Xbox One...ala the Kinect. I still use my Kinect but it has like 4 or 5 different cords on the XB1X. The Alexa Dot is only $29.99 at Amazon so there you go.

Some solid additions to GamePass this month, especially PES 2019:

Microsoft has really bolstered GamePass this year. It's definitely worth $10 per month.

Re: XBox One AND PS4 Discussion
I just picked up Game Pass from that Amazon 69 special for a year. I was going to buy Forza Horizon and went this route instead. Man that game is pretty.
Ashen is kind of like Dark Souls if people are looking for something like that.

Did the same. A steal -- tons of fine games for $6 per month!Danimal wrote:I just picked up Game Pass from that Amazon 69 special for a year.
Agree on Horizon 4's beauty. Horizon 2 was mediocre, and H3 was a big letdown to me because the cars were so damn easy to drive. Plus Australia didn't really work as a location for me, for whatever reason.
But I love H4. The UK is a cool setting, the change in weather and seasons is a very welcome addition, and the cars seem to be a bit tougher to drive. Not as realistic as the original Horizon, which I insist just took the existing Forza driving model and applied it to this new franchise. But a step in the more realistic and enjoyable direction.
Horizon 4 is a terrific game.

Re: XBox One AND PS4 Discussion
Got the Amazon Echo Dot yesterday. It works very good with the Xbox. The only thing is I don’t know if it will change the TV channels for me. When I said “Alexa, tell Xbox to watch espn” it just stays on the same channel. Don’t know if there is any channel changing integration yet. It does all the other stuff...record that, screen shots, starting games, opening apps, turning Xbox on and off.

Re: XBox One AND PS4 Discussion
Does it feel more like Cortana or how it did with the Kinect? I just felt like there was too much lag with Cortana and stopped using it. But I'm interested n getting the Echo dot if it plays nice.Diablo25 wrote:Got the Amazon Echo Dot yesterday. It works very good with the Xbox.

Re: XBox One AND PS4 Discussion
I haven’t experienced any lag. I’ve found the Dot to be very responsive.

What skill did you have to activate with the Alexa for these Xbox one features? I don’t see an official Xbox looking one.Diablo25 wrote:I haven’t experienced any lag. I’ve found the Dot to be very responsive.
Re: XBox One AND PS4 Discussion
There is an XBox one in Settings (the Alexa App) but it wouldn’t enable the first time I tried. Then, somehow, I got it going. It directed me to sign in to my MS account thru the web browser on the Xbox. Also, Make sure you go into settings and check the box that allows Digital Assistants. Its under KINECT & DEVICES.Zeppo wrote:What skill did you have to activate with the Alexa for these Xbox one features?

Microsoft’s next console is evidently called “Anaconda”.

Exactly , that's my code name.
Re: XBox One AND PS4 Discussion
I finally purchased an XB1X for an early Christmas present as well as a 4k HDR TV and I've been playing Madden, NHL, RDR 2 and AC Odyssey. I believe I have Tomb Raider under the tree, can't wait to dig into that one as well.

Re: XBox One AND PS4 Discussion
Thanks, I'll have to check that one out as well! I didn't think it was going to be a huge difference from our Xbox One and HDTV, but it's unreal. Not only do enhanced games look great, but games load much faster and run smoother.10spro wrote:Gratz, enjoy the new shiny toy, Hitman 2 looks awesome too on the X.MizzouRah wrote:I finally purchased an XB1X for an early Christmas present as well as a 4k HDR TV and I've been playing Madden, NHL, RDR 2 and AC Odyssey.

Re: XBox One AND PS4 Discussion
As an enhanced early retirement separation lump sum payout bonus, I bought myself a second XBox One X for my living room. My wife had seen how much better HGTV, Netflix, and Hallmark movies look on my XBox One X and 55" TCL Series 6, 4K UHD in the rec room, that she was horning in on my gaming time in the rec room to "spend quality time" with me watching the programming of her choice with me
It was money well spent, but it led to other money having to be "well spent" to complete the package. It meant that I had to take more of my lump sum payout to buy another 4K UHD display for the living room. I go more into depth on that in the the HDTV thread... it looks like it's going to be a wise investment already though
