Xbox One: How to access the Developer settings menu
Now a YouTube video on the GameTuts channel has revealed a way to go ahead and turn any Xbox One into a development kit right now; the YouTube video below has the full procedure.
Having said that, a post on Reddit from an unnamed but confirmed developer of Xbox One games says that the method in the video really shouldn't be used, stating, "Please don't mess with anything here for the time being, especially the sandbox ID. You risk putting your box into a boot loop."
The same developer later posted that he had no idea when Microsoft would officially enable development kits from Xbox One units, stating, "There are many concerns such as privacy, security, stability etc.., that need to be sorted out before we can allow anyone and everyone to simply sideload an app onto their box."
So there you have it. If you really want to, you can turn your new Xbox One into a development kit just for fun, but you run the risk of bricking it. If you really want to make games and self-publish them on the console, your best bet is to sign up for Microsoft's official ID@Xbox program.

It is interesting that this is available so soon after the release of the console, but it is worrying that you can potentially mess up your console by fiddling with the settings. Hopefully information will be quickly shed in regards to what can be done and what shouldn't be done within the Dev Settings.

KatsumiDurant Pretty cool feature, but imagine the amount of crap games that are gonna come out soon.
I couldn't see many people who get access to this being able to make games.
It won't be for making games, but probably for debugging or something.

At least you're not at risk of bricking it then.
