    I'm not sure of the name. I just remember hearing about the fantasy football interface. How is it? Or maybe by tonight you'll have a good idea (after the games)

    Anyone using Xbox One with cable feed to it ? Not sure how this would improve anything for so I am unsure if it is a feature I would want to use. I've found walkthroughs on how to set it up but nothing really selling me on the benefit beyond not needing to change the input on my TV.

    The benefit of picture-in-picture (TV <> One & TV <> Skype) via Snap feature is pretty bad ass.

    The one caveat is that it needs to be an NFL.com fantasy league (I believe).

    Agreed. I believe this is part of the new Xbox One partnership with the NFL.

    I hope they get a yahoo or espy fantasy app , little late for this year mind you but maybe next season. Same with MLB or ESPN fantasy baseball.

    Highly doubt they have any other fantasy support other than NFL.com. I'm sure it was part of the partnership.

    Some game impressions:

    Madden 25: Holy shit this game is way better than current gen. Running is so nice.
    FIFA 14: The best game on next gen so far. Player movement and momentum is spot on.
    Need For Speed: If it were a $1.99 iOS game it would be incredible...but it's not.
    Battlefield 4: Beautiful and fun, it make the last gen version seem like Atari.
    Dead Rising 3: Let me get back, just starting playing.

    That sucks...I can't see myself using the Kinect for many games at all but the voice command shit is pretty sweet. Switching back from TV to game and stuff like that. Who's replacing your Xbox? Microsoft?

    My impressions after gaming for near 5 hours last night (only played FIFA and Madden):

    -Like Shaun said, FIFA is amazing. Although it is harder than 360 version and there is a learning curve, I can see myself spending a lot of time on that game. Very, very realistic and the physics are right. I can't wait to see what FIFA 15, 16 etc. has in store.

    -The Xbox in general is pretty sweet. The "snap" feature where you can switch from TV and back is great. Looking forward to trying the game dvr feature. Voice commands are nice, just take some getting used to but better than sifting through menus until you find what you want.

    -Although I played just one Madden game, it almost feels like a new Madden has been released. Game looks a little different, feels a lot different and the online game I played is a lot smoother than 360 version. Pretty impressed and can't wait to get the CFM going. One thing I may try is the voice command hot routes that show up at the bottom center of the screen in Madden before the ball is snapped. I think saying "hot route, hook zone" is quicker than hitting a few buttons. We'll see...

    Overall I'm very happy with my purchase and you all need to go get one ASAP.

    Game Stop offered first but Microsoft did as well so today I'll decide. If GS can't guarantee a Friday arrival. I don'treally want a newer console just yet, with GS I run the risk of getting the disk drive issue and that ain't G.

    Do you know if its usable via antenna I stead of cable? I'm too cheap for cable, and have no need for it really, but still get some decent stuff on the basic channels.

    If you guys that have it already could tell me- if you had to list three "selling points" to the Xbox One what would you say they would be?

    1. Unlike any woman you've ever met, you can turn the Xbox on with your voice.
    2. You can watch porn AND game...on the same screen.
    3. FIFA 14 Clubs

    1. If it breaks like mine did, it's possible to get a spanking new one in less than 24hrs like I have.
    2. Shaun stole my #2 …. you can watch playoff sports and still get your games in AT THE SAME DAMN TIME!!!! hard to beat Shaun's #2
    3. The kinect is the truth, Yelling "XBOX RECORD THAT SHIT" will never get old. Being able to trim and post highlights to the timeline are a nice addition to Xbox Live.

    1. Sometimes it takes a little foreplay (but is the voice turn on really that awesome?)
    2. Win
    3. Of course.

    Has anyone else had issues with HD tv quality after running it through the xbox ONE. Everything looks great, but watching sports it seems that the color red flickers on uniforms and stuff like that and its only red. When I hook my cable box back into the tv directly it goes away. Has anyone else had this problem or does anyone else know how to fix it?
