You can't install music and play it off the Hard drive,

Agree, the good thing is that MS is reading feedback about problems like this. So maybe we can expect an update to fix it.

Why in the hell can't I have my Assassins Creed theme? I miss it.

no custom backgrounds for xbox one and no awesome gamerpics are missing as well. I want gamerpics like 360 has (company promotional logos, game icons/images, movies, ete) and the ability to add our own backgrounds to the xbox one like the 360 can.

You also cannot change your Bio, motto, location etc from Xbox One. I don't think you can view it either which I don't understand why they went and did that.

I don't see why they didn't just use the 360 dashboard and UI and build upon it. But instead they had to go with the cluster-blam!- design because of "muh windows 8 on all our products".

[quote]I'm fairly new to my one (I've owned it a little more than a month) and aside from the obvious horrible user interface, it seems that every other day I run into yet another nuisance that just shouldn't exist. no longer can I send a message to all friends. Rather than improve on this feature from 360 and include an "add all" button, they make it to where we can send a message to 30 friends at a time. What the hell? And also, why the hell can't we pre-download games yet? I know I've persisted with this but seriously, it's extremely convenient! And just now I discovered yet another lack of a great feature: no voice messages?! Are you kidding me microsoft? For the life of me after racking my brain I can't imagine the benefit of taking this away from us. Voice messages are so much more convenient than sitting there typing out a long ass message, and now we can only send it to 30 friends at a time. Listen: I love the xbox one. I love the games, I love the machine. But it's like.....microsoft finally learns how to design the hardware of their console properly, and then they completely disregard interface. [i]why?[/i][/quote] The interface is superb IMO, but that's just personal preference Fair nuff, but those sort of things are [i]exactly[/i] what MS have been adding, how about you actually suggest this to MS via Xbox.com? Pre-download is something that we will likely see pretty soon Voice messages were work of some evil creature, I am infinitely glad they are gone, so nothing from me on that one If you do not like typing out large messages don't, use Smartglass for messaging Actually they did not disregard the interface at all, it is designed to be optimised for the kinect, and it is, it's so brilliant and a huge improvement over the 360's UI. Especially the new "store" section, that is one design that I fu[i]c[/i]king love, 360's Store felt awfully fragmented and disjointed

It was rushed presumably. Anyone can make a list of apparent features missing from the console when compared with the 360. There slowly adding in the features but it is weird to see how they moved from the 360 (which was a great all around console) to the Xbox One (which just doesn't have alot of common features).

Be patient, I know it's hard. They have changed a lot through updates, preloading is coming....just give it time. It's frustrating yes, but it will get better

Nothing wrong with the interface. PS fanboys be mad that they can't cope with anything that isn't just a series of lists.

I feel the same about PC. At least with PS4 they improved more than moving back. PC we have Win8 which still blows. I just want SteamOS/Linux to get more backing so I can actually use it.
