@rocko2920: I use it. It appears to be working fine for me.

@elixirbronze: They apparently recorded a new episode on September 8th. Not sure why it isn't up yet.

I missed most of the internet hype surrounding Lost the first time I watched it. I was deployed to Iraq when I watched the first 3 seasons, then never got into the message boards as the last 3 seasons came out. What that means is that I missed all the negativity surrounding the show. I loved the show the first time I saw it and it remains one of my all time favorite TV shows. It's actually quite jarring to hear Max being so down on the show at times. I'm glad I didn't have to deal with all that hate for the show when I watched it.

I restarted watching the show to keep up with this podcast, but gave up trying to hold myself back. I'm almost done with Season 1. Still as great as ever.

I tried out Xbox Fitness for the first time this weekend. Since I'm already partially through a cycle of Insanity, I decided to do my scheduled workout through the Xbox One Fitness app. It was awesome. I try to push myself as hard as I can when I do my workouts, but having the instant feedback, the random challenges, and overall scores for the workout really caused me to focus and push myself more. I was close to throwing up, I was so exhausted by the end. I loved it. I decided that since the Xbox Fitness App has the 3 main Insanity workouts from month 1 available, I'd continue to use it throughout this week.

Then I tried it again yesterday. Halfway through my workout, the app crashed and I got sent back to the dashboard. All my progress was lost. I was annoyed, but shrugged it off as a minor glitch.

I tried it again today. A little over halfway through the workout, the system started giving me an error message saying that the Fitness app couldn't connect to the internet, even though the system is hardwired into my router and it showed everything was still running smoothly (I wasn't dropped from Xbox Live, I could still see the store, etc.) I was forced to quit the app. I checked the network connection under the system settings and it showed I had a good connection. Either way, this was the second day in a row that I could not finish my workout because of problems with the app.

What I'm left with is a system that seems like it can do amazing things and is impressive when it works, but since it is so riddled with bugs and errors, it just kills my excitement for the platform. It's not just the fitness app. I still get dropped to the dashboard in Dead Rising 3 occasionally. The voice commands work infrequently. The whole system is just frustrating me right now. I want the Xbox Fitness App to work. When it did, it was awesome. On Saturday, I was ready to recommend the system and the Fitness App to all my fitness friends. Today I found myself telling my friends to skip the platform for now. I want to love it, I just can't.

I ended up getting two system replacements, with the same problem. I decided it was a bad power supply after all. It took several weeks before Microsoft agreed. I finally received a replacement power supply last week (yes, 2 1/2 months without a working console). The system works now. It was definitely a power supply issue.

I can't add Ratchet and Clank: Into the Nexus into any of the lists I've created (Games I've played in 2013 and Games I've Finished in 2013). When I select it (by typing in the name), the picture doesn't show up in the list and it just says "_associated title_" I can type my comments into the field, but when I save the list, the entry disappears all together. If I try to edit the list and add the game again, I can see the comments I originally typed.

You're probably going to have to have a replacement sent. It will take 3 to 5 business days, so with Thanksgiving, I'm guessing we'll get the replacement the first week of December.

Got a call back from Xbox rep. Turns out the first guy didn't listen to me at all and just logged it as a Green Screen issue (failure to install initial update). The rep tried to transfer me to the hardware department, but after 30 minutes on hold, it just dropped the call. I might have to deal with this tomorrow. So frustrating.

Edit: Finally talked to a different rep. I'm getting a replacement sent out to me. I hope I just got a faulty unit and it isn't anything that will be an ongoing problem.

I'm wondering the same thing. This morning I turned it on and it stayed on for 7 whole minutes (Wooo!) Hopefully it'll be a small patch that can be installed fast. All the rep told me was that the patch will be emailed to me and I'll have to put it on a thumb drive to put it on the Xbox One. I'll be sure to ask the tech support guy these questions when they call me (hopefully by tomorrow).
