With the global launch of the Xbox ONE now only two days away, Microsoft are in full swing letting the lucky gamers picking up their Xbox One console on November 22nd, as ready as they can be by releasing the Smartglass app for Xbox One early and putting the Official Xbox ONE Support resources live.
Xbox Wire gives the full low down on what can be done with new Smartglass for Xbox One, with users having more interactive control then ever before with their Xbox One. Even before the Xbox ONE is sitting proudly in your home you can start using Smartglass to do the following:
