Aww fantastic!
Updating takes a long time and installing games and patching them also takes a long time. If you still mainly buy games on disc, I recommend unplugging your XBONE from the Internet, install the game to the hard drive and then plug in to download updates.
Higly unlikely that I will buy physical media ever again.
Problem solved then.
May have been mentioned before, but something i've noticed between PS4 & XBone is that the PS4 is lighteningly quick in the menus and loading apps etc, whereas the Xbone seems to have a slight delay in controller to console response and numerous loading times opening apps etc.
Wee bit annoying, but not a huge issue.
Eff this interface. Not intuitive at all.
How do I sort the games list in the store?
How do I view my XBL download history?

Don't know about the former, never done it. I always find stuff by searching explicitly.
The latter you can do from the web (how I typically do it) or in the Games & Apps screen, far right side IIRC.
Seen the holiday bundles yet? 1 Tb hdds and one has a 3 game set with it.
The new guide looks great! That's how it should have been from the beginning. I think they were just trying to hard.
The guide has dramatically changed, with Xbox engineering team member Richard Irving describing it as the "big focus for this preview release." While on the Home screen, it's now accessed by scrolling over to the left side of the screen. While in-game (or any other activity), double-tapping the Xbox button immediately brings it up without any loading time.
Either way, it's now a column along the left side of the screen--the new location for anything you choose to Snap. It offers access to things like your friends list, party, messages, notifications, and headset settings (such as volume, muting, and more). Notifications, in particular, have been overhauled, as they are now grouped together based on their type or the game/app they originated from. In other words, recording a bunch of game clips won't force you to scroll through a long list to reach, say, an achievement notification, as is currently the case.
Hopefully its as quick as the PS4 menus now, such an odd delay doing things on the One.
Looks like $300 is the target for xbones on Black Friday. Various Kinect-less bundles with games & extra controllers at about that price.
