Go to settings and turn the Cortana bit off. It goes back to its original function. "Hey cortana" makes you sound like a mentalist. "Xbox off" is much better!

I've tried completing that form several times - it accepts my xbox one s at stage 2 then asks me for the same thing again, I provide it and it just does nothing
so no, it isn't free as they're making sure nobody can order one but thanks for trying

no they are downloads but i presume it will be better as when you say "play kinect sport rivals" it wont be able to grab hold of a disk & put it in the tray for you.... :smile:

The Kinect doesn't respond to "Xbox off" anymore. They changed the prompt to "Hey Cortana". It's incredibly laggy now. I used it mainly as the "Record that" feature but since they changed the prompt and how slow it is, it's become useless.

You can change it back as I have done.
Id advise everyone to get one while you can, as MS will stop production of these, and then the prices will rocket, the voice control options make Kinect a very powerful tool on XB1 I cant live without it.

That sucks. So if you are new to Xbox and want to try out the 'now' cheap Kinect you must buy an adapter to play it on your new console because the new console has dropped the connector! Boo you MS that's pretty low

I think I googled how to connect the kinect to the xbox one s and the xbox page was in the results, had to enter in the serial number for the Kinect and Xbox, well had to register both first.
Dont forget you will need the serial number for the Xbox One (the black one)
Very hot. I wonder how low it will go? With the additional cable necessary to connect to the Xbox One S it's putting a lot of owners off keeping theirs. Crazy to think this is only £2 more than the original Kinect with PSU on CEX!

Now that Scorpio is definitely doing VR, would it be worth picking one of these up cheap in case they're needed for that?
Spasho to Kristcobain

Phil Spencer's right about VR.
simont_space to Kristcobain

The reason I picked one up from CEX earlier this year. I thought that it would surely be the perfect way to enhance VR. Hoping it will be incorporated with one of the makers of the headsets.

14 Nov 161#33
I reckon they would repackage and relaunch Kinect if it is supported/used with Scorpio, just like how PS has a new version of their camera. Also it's too much confusion with the extra cable and stuff.

What sort of faults are typical? Ours just seems very poor compared to 360 version. Maybe it's the games, but Just Dance for example, someone sat down in the background still gets 2 stars.

Thankfully we live in an age where most people are not lazy enough to press a button to turn their console on or off.
They will just continue to get cheaper and cheaper as shops need to shift dead stock to make way for the next (soon to be dead) gimmick in gaming, VR.
Says I have no xbox s registered to my account though!? How do I add it? No instructions on the MS page
