The good thing about Groove is that I still have a ton of those free/cheap albums they were giving away a couple years ago. Of course I imported them into my iTunes , but it doesn't hurt to have them there as well.

Agree that they need to do something with Ultraviolet, and that Disney Movies Anywhere is great. I love seeing that stuff showing up in my Amazon and Xbox libraries. It's really the first significant improvement in the mess of scattered video services we have.

On the PS4 you can control Spotify or local/network music on the system menu or with your phone.

I'm not sure why MS can't figure that out.

Nice thanks! My best bet then is to sync to Amazon, seeing as I have that app on each tv and on the console.

do we have a firm date yet as to when the X1 will feature backwards compatibility with the certain 360 titles to all? i know it's in Beta and have read from multiple sources "Fall", but thought there might be a definite date of the update. thanks.

It should be with the dashboard update. No firm date set yet.

Right now the release date of the Windows 10 dashboard/360 BC is set for "November," but no exact date.
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2492463,00.asp

I would imagine they'd want to get the update out by Thanksgiving, so that the 360 BC can be an advertising point for Black Friday and the rest of the holiday sales season.


For those wanting to use a wireless Xbox One controller on their PC, MS is finally releasing a wireless adapter on 10/22 for Windows 10 PCs:
http://www.techtimes.com/articles/94...ler-cables.htm
Microsoft is getting ready to launch a wireless adapter for the Xbox One...

It will be available from Microsoft's online store for $24.99 beginning Oct. 22, Tuesday....

The wireless adapter works with any PC, laptop or tablet running on Windows 10.
The article makes it sound like having Windows 10 is required. I guess we'll have to wait to see if it works on earlier versions of Windows.

About damn time! Though that price is a little tough to swallow, especially for such a rigid dongle sticking out of the back end (that's what Music's mom said to me last night).

Throw it in with the Elite controller and I'd be listening.

Heads Up : When I went to Game Stop today for a PS4 remote, I saw they got the Halo 4 controllers in. A guy was there and bought the Master Chief one. It's REALLY pretty. Nice dark green and gold colors. It does NOT have the rubberized back that the Forza 6 controller has (and I really like) however. It's still a gorgeous controller (and was flying off the shelves apparently).

Best Buy had plenty of both of the Halo controllers. Love the silver one.
