Xbox One's First Wave Of Apps Announced

Fire Hawk D said:I think he meant off his console. I highly doubt he wants everyone to lose them just because he does not care for them. If I could I would switch them off as well.

Skitzy Skitzo said:lol You'd be surprised. Though, obviously, "just delete them" would be his option in that case.

Glad to see the only important country is well catered to. This is even worse than the 360's offerings where I'm from. Pathetic? Yes. Yes. 0/10 would never buy again.

ScrotoBaggins22 said:Well yeah, but it's worse everywhere compared to the 360. The 360 has had years to get the app collection up to where it is now. This is only the list of what will be available in the very early stages of the Xbox One. It could look very different in a couple years.

Some app are useful and kills time when there is no new game to played with.

Hitchman1 said:For those who may not notice, for the love of god read his comment and then instantly look at his avatar pic. I think it's pure gold.

Anyone know if that NFL app is going to be free or subscription based?

I wouldn't expect a dedicated YouTube app after seeing how Google is being dingldloppers to Windows Phone

Currently PS3 has TVNZ on Demand - which is New Zealand's version of watching TV on Demand. I was so gutted to hear this when it was announced not so long ago, because XBOX Live in NZ is so lacklustre.
I was hoping with the next generation Microsoft might have swooped in and done a deal with SKY TV or TVNZ - but no.
So we get pretty much nothing...in fact the worst list of apps out of all of them.
Way to forget about the little guy...don't forget we are paying the same price as everyone else to get this console.

Hercules SR117 said:I saw a comment on the Xbox New Zealand Facebook page that you can run a free view or sky box off it, just without some features. This was said by Xbox NZ, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was wrong. Still, at least if you can somehow snap t.v and gaming I would be happy with that.

Blue n Gold Eel said:You're not alone there, but at least they're not being forced upon us.

Fire Hawk D said:Don't get me wrong, because if you want them then that's good for you, I just want to get rid of the current apps blade on my 360, I can only imagine how bad they will be on the XB1....ps are you saying you can delete any/all apps from showing up on the XB1???

The only app I care about is NHL gamecenter. Hope.it arrives ASAP. Until then I have to keel my 360 in my living room.which I am dreading...

Blue n Gold Eel said:Have you seen the Xbox One dashboard walkthrough from last week? There were three tabs: Pins, Home, and Store. That could be all there is or that's just how they had it customized, showing a deep layer of customization.

Hmm--what's Target Ticket?

And is TED going to be a 24-hour channel of America's Favorite Asshole Teddy Bear?

Glad to see some apps I have now!

if M$ got sued for monopolisation (spelling?) for putting Internet Explorer on their Windows operating system... shouldn't the same apply to their media center/gaming console?

In short: will I be able to install Chrome on the xbox one at some point?

Phoenix C64 said:If you want to use Chrome so badly I hear they have the internet on computers now. Not sure, I'll have to check and get back to you.
