What are your must-have non-technical or features for next-gen?

What difficulties did you have acquiring the app? For me, the process was such a non-event I don't even remember the details.

Edit: I Googled it

Was that it?

No, it was this (from bad memory);

1. Insert a Blu-ray or DVD disc into your Xbox One.
2. Select the Blu-ray Disc app when it appears.
   
3. On the broken link you get taken too scratch head
4. Repeat steps 1-3 because clearly you're doing something wrong
5. When the same thing happens do some googling
6. Test a DVD to at least ensure the drive is working
   
7. Search for the UHD app thinking that the reason it's not playing the disk is because it's a UHD disk
8. When no results are found try searching 4K
9. When no results do some more googling
10. Return to Xbox and try one last search, Bluray and select the app
    
11. Blu-ray player app details page, select Free or Install.
12. Wait for the download
    
13. Your disc should start playing automatically.

Yup, that's broken all right. For me it worked exactly as described in the instructions (which I never needed to look at).

Put in a disc, click a button, wait a few seconds, watch the movie. If it were any more effort than that, for either my original One or the One S that replaced it, I would have remembered.

Yeah, it was weird - I have a bit of fun at work with my Xbox loving colleague and he even commented that it was broken, which is odd because looking on the net I can't find any reference to it...really weird.

Mind you, I think my X hates me - I'm having all sorts of problems with it, ethernet stopped working the other night and I needed a complete reboot to fix, RDR2 - twice now I lost a couple hours gameplay.

This has to be another one of orangpelupa's cat's workings. It's the most reasonable explanation.
