Neori: Adjust your console settings and set it to Australia. As long as you annunciate your words clearly...
TwoSeven: I did follow the news for it, however, I don't agree with the solution on the principle that the Windows OS has allowed people to not have the disk in for years. Given it is the same content producers and same distribution medium and there are digital versions there is no technical reason.
Realistically, if I put a CD in the machine that is online I would have expected it to go "Oh, there is a digital version of this game, I'll link your license to it (CD ought to be proof of purchase)".

I set mine to the US for this (and to download Netflix) do you think that the Australian accent would provide more hits than the US one?
TwoSeven: I wonder how long they will last with that policy - keep CD in drive. Do they understand its the 21st century and not the 1980s.
Wonder if we will get DLNA functionality that is supposed to arrive.

My NZ accent is working well with my US Xbox One FWIW
networkn: And mine with the UK. Apparently people have good success with the AU as well.A little experimenting at lunchtime seems I'm getting the best results (with the critical 'xbox on' test) with UK settings as well.

I noticed that some of the IR blaster settings vanished when I set it to Oz briefly, but stayed set. So if you are using Aus but want your xbox to turn off/on your TV, and mute it on command then it'd be worth the reboot to set it to US, config the IR in the TV settings, then set it back to your prefer region for speech.
networkn: I am very keen to make that work. Not sure if it will work for me though as I have a projector mounted on the ceiling. If it can switch it off via HDMI through my receiver I'd be VERY impressed.It doesn't use the HDMI controls.. it uses a really bright IR LED in the Kinect. It just floods the room with IR signal, so it should be able to work if your projector has an IR remote.

The solution is to buy the games from the online Store, then you don't need to get out of your comfy couch to change disks :)

lol - no, the solution is for Microsoft to listen to its customers - after all we are the ones that pay the money that pays their shareholders their dividend.

not the same thing
ms had intended for people to be able to play their game on a nominated number of "family member" consoles - without the disk being used ie. effectively sharing the game (one console at a time) - this however meant you could not sell it - as these people would be able to reuse the same disk for "free"
many people had a beef with not being able to sell their games - so ms ditched the shared thing
so now we have the situation where you need the disk to verify it is in fact yours (dl version being the exception) - i would suggest we got what we asked for....

Microsoft listened to the feedback after the game sharing feature was announced, not sure whether you heard all the negative feedback about selling old disks or the console needing to be online every day
so we rolled those features back and its back to the way it was in 360
if you don't want physical disks, just like i don't, why the angst about buying them from the online Store?
