The Kinect-less package will more than likely appear the year after launch (when people should dive in to a new console anyway, Day 1's for people who never learn). I'm happy at all the changes and it makes my eventual purchase more relaxing.

I'd be surprised if they wait that long. I don't expect a new model at launch, but....

Well I guess if Microsoft's serious they'd have that non-bundle out by next Spring. A $400 answer to PS4 is pretty much their last move to even things up, then it's all up to online network/controller/exclusives preference on the gamer side. Everything else is pretty much the same.

All this is coming from the XBox One conference thingy at Gamescom.
Some UbiSoft Kinect fighter now being shown. After the last drizzling shit they pumped out for the 360, can probably give this one a miss. |

Showing The Division, more tablet integration in a Ubisoft game shockingly. Phil Harrison makes a noise from his very punchable mouth saying it's a "technical tour de force"

The COD: Ghosts bundle comes with the Prestige edition and will go for £615 in the UK. This also comes with FIFA 14 if you pre-order ahead of the XBone launch.
EDIT: This isn't the announced bundle, this is just GAME trying to fleece customers. The bundle they announced will come with a digital code for COD: Ghosts and pricing is not yet available. |

A max of two games I care about on that list that can't be bought on other systems. I wonder how that compares to the PS3's launch? I haven't looked that hard.

A few weeks ago GiantBomb was talking about launch lineups in one of their podcasts and how the last really good one was the Dreamcast.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlaySta..._launch_titles PS3 had 14 games but 8 of them were sports or racing type games. Xbox 360 also had a lot of sports and racing games for launch. |

According to Wargaming studio, they won't develop a Xbox One version of World of Tanks until the console's userbase becomes large enough for them to consider.

Got to see this thing up close at the mall I work at. If your local mall has a Microsoft kiosk or you have a Microsoft store, see if they have it. I got to hold the controller too.
![]() The controller's 'wings' stick out more and that was the first thing I felt. The sticks were smaller and covers more your thumb tips than your thumb print if that makes any sense. The shoulder buttons are basically that whole shoulder. The triggers were tight but after days of gameplay they may loosen up. The buttons feel good, I guess. The dpad clicks for a responsive feel though I would have like it a tad bigger, and they 'dip' downward rather than completely face you which felt weird. I 'shadow-boxed' some Street Fighter routines on both the left stick and dpad and I think the controller will feel natural pretty quickly. The back not having having a battery lump is bigger selling point than they're saying - very cool. And I can say it still have a meaty weight to it that nobody seems to be talking about. I like a good gravitation resistance rather than something that feels flimsy (like PS3's controller). Happy to say the weight, while lighter than 360's controller, met my standards. Lastly, the console is MUCH slimmer than what pics made it look. More inline with 360's size without the pretentious curves that mean nothing. Hardly the bulky 'cablebox' I thought it would be. They had no games to demo, though. The guy at the desk had no issue/was probably bored enough to take it out the case and let me molest everything, and I'm at the mall often so if anybody wants specific shots or more info I can see what I can do. |

Based on a recent retailer leaks, the Xbox One is currently rumored to be launching on November 8.

So the Xbone won't support external HDDs out of the gate.
In the interest of "fairness," it will be treated identical to the internal storage for DLs and saves, while the PS4's will not support installs, according Sony execs. |

Seems strange that they wouldn't be ready for something like that, while pushing for all sorts of digital downloads and installs. Wii U owners have it way worse, but I'd think Microsoft would be on that by launch. 500gigs is a lot, but we were never meant to install every game before. Hope it holds by the time that update is ready.

They've announced they're bumping the clock speed to 1.75 Ghz. Probably a good thing they have so much ventilation.
If I end up with a Bone, I'm investing in a mini-fridge to store it in, just in case. ![]() |

Sorta. While they didn't go for a marketing gimmick, they went for a sales gimmick: being able to lump sales into Black Friday figures.
People fudge that number as it is now with retailers opting to open "before midnight" on Thanksgiving night, so the 22nd falls into the alleged 3 day window- which is already skewed; it's technically a week long window, depending who you ask, since some take the three days before, some take the weekend, and others now include the sales of Cyber Monday into their numbers. Anyhow, as it stands, a company that may have x amount of excess systems after fulfilling pre-orders can pretty much sell them immediately (instead of being mandated to hold some back for that Friday, mainly to help drive sales) without it hurting their retail numbers for the biggest shopping weekend of the year, and can pad in some bragging rights, such as some asanine "biggest electronic item of the year/most requested"(etc.) to MS for total sales because of WHEN it launched- namely, with the blessing of Black Friday and before the PS4. Those kind of projected stats are like corporate shareholders versions of Gamerscore. |
