Thankyou for adding this. I certainly didn't know and i'm very grateful!

There was a thread that listed the page you use for storing your Microsoft serial no. Does anyone have that link?

it is asking for xbox one sr no. i didnt had any old version. only got the one S version. would i still get it? its not letting me proceed without xbox one serial

Thanks, just got mine yesterday and well pleased with it so far. Fantastic deals on the games at the moment...

You need to have owned a previous xbox one console and to have that consoles serial number

I did this a couple of months ago, you need to link both the serial numbers of your old xbox and the new one to your Microsoft account, wait until both show in your devices. I then contacted them through chat, they checked I had registed them and then got my details and sent it out. It doesn't come with retail packaging it comes in a throwaway foam plastic sleave. (incase you plan to sell)

If you are new to Xbox one and bought the current model, Microsoft will send you the cables for £29.99. You'd think it would be way cheaper to buy these cables from any other retailer but it quite the opposite

Thanks. Been meaning to do this for a couple of weeks but kept forgetting. Finally got it done and glad it's still free :D.

i'm after one if you don't need it. willing to pay for postage + £9

this has been posted before

Thanks OP, this is really helpful to know. And who cares if its been posted before....really???

thanks

cheers just need to wait for the console to arrive

Make sure you have registered your old Xbox one, and then your new Xbox one on the Xbox website to make it even faster, they need both serial numbers from each console for them to supply this free. You'll also need your Kinect serial.

it's quite a bulky bit of kit, and now comes with a plug for power. But great for free, and the be able to use your Kinect.

I still find it hilarious that Microsoft basically bet the farm on kinect since it first appeared. And lost. This machine was originally built and designed specifically for it, and now the new ones don't even have a port for it :grin:

I'll give them one thing though, they saw the mistakes and fixed it fairly quickly, otherwise it would have tanked even worse.

Thanks op heat added

Angry Joe done an EPIC interview with then and current Xbox hypeman Major Nelson Larry Hryb.
To be fair Major Nelson was only defending the product and his company, but he was an arrogant sod in the interview, telling Joe "are you on the development team, is it just as easy to flick a switch to make it backwards compat, and play preowned games".
Two weeks later Microsoft backtracked and "flicked that switch"!
They originally said the Xbox One would NEED Kinect to work, Don Matrick at the time was SOOOOOO far off target with Xbox gamers, they shoveled the Kinext down peoples throat's time after time they gamers said they didnt want it.
Fast forward to 2016, E3 in June did not have ONE single mention of Kinect, and the current slim does not even have the port to use what was once sought as THE killer app for controlling the Xbox one.
Again they have listened and with Phil Spencer at the helm now, things seem to be moving in the right direction.
But it's good to remember people power does work!!

Yawn phoney fans living in the past, heat added

Least we got backwards compatability and it didn't come under a premium service

I actually enjoyed Kinect on the 360. Although I have Kinect for Xbox one. I didn't give it a go.

It's fun to play with family. But I guess most people play Xbox on their bedroom so no space.

The funny thing is the Kinect 2 on the xbox one does actually work, and work well, but MS really did mess up the xbox one launch with gamers and poisoning the kinect II well forever before the tech even got into gamers hands.

My "free"adaptor arrived today.Same as the chaps on youtube doing the un-boxing, except no box, everything stuffed into a jiffy bag and a mountain of cables including a mains power cable that is now required.Total mess.I only got the kinect as £20 CEX deal posted here and i heard it was good with Battlefield 4 but cannot get it working at all despite enabling it in the options screen.

Thx OP for the info (_;)

Hmmm interesting

Just a reminder - it takes up to 28 days for your adaptor to arrive. Mine came in around 14 days when I got an Xbox One S. Make sure you register your kinect, old xbox and new xbox one s on your online account as well.

The adapter is pretty cumbersome, loads of cables and a power adaptor too. Wish they'd just kept the kinect port on the xbox!

Mine came in an official kinect adapter box

You need an original xbox one to be entitled for the free adapter. My issue here too as I also want the kinect but not willing to pay 50 for an adapter.

its £29.99
microsoftstore.com/sto…100

Have you got the s?
Ive got a xbox one box in the attic that may have a seriel number on i will have a look if it has over the next fewdays if it does i will inbox you it

apophisxp pretty certain I will never want Kinect, would you like my serial number of my Xbox one?

If apophisxp doesn't want your serial number nathyjim then I would be very grateful for it. I'm getting an Xbox One S for my son for Christmas having just sold his Xbox 360 and Kinect and it seems a real rip off to charge £29.99 for the adaptor on top of the cost of an Xbox One Kinect sensor, especially when it appears that there are hardly any Kinect games for the Xbox One available!

I had my old one + kinect registered so already ordered it but not really need it (it's my first time and I feel awful).
If You want one in good price PM me :smile:

Did it last week before Black Friday and got one ordered, it was the fastest and most efficient process I've ever seen.

not working for me. im clicking on my registered xbox and then its telling me to register a device.

whats the maximum i can get ? i have 2 xbox one s

Ordered Xbox S on Saturday arrived today and registered for cable. Cheers OP

no worries mate i'll PM you now

Heat added, i didnt know you needed the additional adaptor, I have ordered one.

I've sent it to apophisxp but if he doesn't need for any reason, you are more than welcome to it.

Sorry for late reply but yes I'd love it!

I have PM'd you, got a friends you are welcome to use

​will give the serial number for 9£

thanks for adding I have just claimed mine for my new Xbox one S :-)

If anyone else has a serial number I'd be very interested in the cables.

Do let me know please.

Anybody know how to move personal settings like game sharing details and setting from Xbox one to the S?

I know games and apps can be done via external HDD and saves are done via the cloud.
Cheers

Cheers, just ordered.

Me and my cousin got Xbox one, we are not going to buy one S, let me know if anyone wants the serial number for a good price ! :wink:

Updated- i sold one of my serial number, yes you can add the serial number to your account and new one S serial plus kinect then you can place order.

Best thing is go to MS contact us page on xbox site chat with them asking for help to get an adapter rest they will do. This is best coz some kinects serial numbers are not accepting.

I`v bought a Xbox one s for my son for Christmas - Can I Get this, or did I need to have owned another console? Thanks

Yes please if still Avaliable? :smile:

Anyone got a cable or serial number for sale , please give me a shout . Thanks

why cant i get past step 3? anyone?

Mine just says something went wrong

can do a cable for 20£ posted​

I do have XB1 serial number if you want? PM me

All sorted now thank you

Just got mine, they must have dropped it off in the shed when nobody was at home but left no card. From the dampness of the envelope i would say its been there a few days. The packaging was a bit of a mess to be honest, expect more from M$ even if its free

I'll have the cable Tom

got one here £25 posted

Something that hasn't been mentioned is that this same connection kit also allows you to use the Kinect hooked up to a Windows 10 PC. So, useful if you have any curiosity to develop software that could use the sensors. Notice that the recent Microsoft 3D Builder app for Windows 10 can use the Kinect to perform 3D scans of objects for 3D printing. You can even send designs off to be made by mailorder 3D printing services from inside the app apparently. Pretty neat.

Has anyone got a kinect serial number. Im planning on buying one soon. I already have the one and one s. Pretty please? ☺️☺️☺️

I got one, will pm you.

Wow I thought this deal was already posted while back hence why I didnt post it.....
I got mine, after going on the chat and then registering my xbox ones (day one edition) with kinect and then my new Xbox one S. It came after a week and a bit I think in a battered official looking xbox one Kinect adapter box.

It is bulky and looks horrible if I am honest but I will keep it if I even want to buy Kinect again

Been free for a while, but this is one awful adapter .....

Yeah I got mine a couple of days ago, took one look at all those cable and I'm thinking I can't be assed.

Guys if you don't want your adapters I do. I want to develop apps with it

make up your mind microsoft. just when they get rid of external psu and make it all integrated now you have another ugly adaptor. god damn it

if you buy an xbox one s then they'll send you one :smile:

cex pays £16 cash or £23 voucher for it if you dont want it. can put it towards a game

Just got my one, thank you! I've traded my original X1 in (kept the Kinect) at Game and got the X1 S on Black Friday. However, I forgot to save the console's serial number. Could not order the adaptor using their tool (also never registered my console on Microsoft's website, just do it!) but the support via chat helped me out. Basically, the serial number on my Kinect was linked to the console's serial number (I bought a bundle with Titanfall 1 back in 2014). Too many cables but it works fine, if you really need it.

Good one but I'm a PS4 :-)

Heat, just ordered. Late to the party, but very grateful. Thank you.

Just did it. Ball ake. New Xbox and old Xbox serial number then a Kinect serial number. Who the hell still has there old Xbox

Considering we've just had Christmas, that was fast! Mine arrived today. Thanks OP!
