Those are nice prices, $399 is still not bad for a 1TB console.

Really the dongle thing again?! lemmie guess its gonna sell for a few years then suddenly go out of print and making the dongles super fucking hard to find.

[Komodin]

Meh, at least I now have a wireless option for my PC with the Xbone controller--sometimes, I just don't want to deal with any cords with my gaming stuff. At least this dongle looks to be more durable than the fiddly, prone-to-breaking one for the 360 controller, too.

[Junko]

Oh, the 1TB model also has a matte finish instead of gloss.

[Marcello]

lol, Pachter says Microsoft won't drop the price of the Xbox and one day later they drop the price.

Good! I hate gloss it gets soo attracted to dust.

Well technically they didn't, it is still going for $399. just a different model is in its place.

LOOPHOLES!

So how do I get games suggested to this backwards compatbility list?

Because their is a few titles I've been wanting to suggest but I can't seem to find a "Post a new idea" button that the other sections have.

[Chooch]

Gotta make sure Sonic 06 makes it on that list of backward compatible games.

;3

Turok, actually.

Loved that game, hate to see it die on the XB360 console without it getting ported over to XBO.

[Junko]

The New Xbox One Experience is coming.

[Kaze no Klonoa]

You can ask Cortana game-related questions to help you in the game?

 

That is awesome.

[Junko]

Oh, and a small walkthrough.

[goku262002]

Already saw the E3 preview, it looks hella confusing. RIP Xbox 360 blocks. =\

[Stritix]

Do you think there's any chance of the white Xbox One making a return later this year?

[Junko]

So, Gears of War 1 is on the backwards compatibility preview right now, along with the rest of the Gears games coming at the public launch in the Winter. However, here's the big news. If you play Gears of War Ultimate Edition between release and the end of the year, you'll get all four Gears games on the BC for a grand total of

• $0
• £0
• €0

That's right, absolutely free. Mad fucking props to Microsoft and the Coalition for this.

Am I the only one who thinks that they might have gone a bit overboard with the amount of bundles? I mean choice is a great thing, and the prices outside of the Kinect and Lego Movie bundles are great, but there are a total of eight Xbox One bundles hitting shelves this holiday. That's a lot of shelf space and the move is a double edged sword for them if this doesn't entice people to buy an Xbone over a PS4. If all else fails however, there should be some great Black Friday deals though, which is great for the consumer. 

I have honestly been tempted to buy an Xbox One but outside of Halo 5 which only slightly piques my interest (though if it's really good, I will probably outright want it), there's nothing else on the system that really interests me. It's a shame because I can tell that Microsoft is trying, maybe the system just isn't for me, at least not yet. Still, great to see some competition going. 

[DiamondX]

$349

here its $425

[Tornado]

I think I'll just pick up the Forza one around then

[Junko]

Xbox One Wireless Dongle for PC is coming on October 20th; retailing for $25.

[Kuzu]

I'd probably get the Halo bundle.

I thought this video was interesting since, it's pretty much on the nail. Perhaps not in sales, but otherwise, current Xbox One has pretty much recovered from 2013's... something. Sooo, thoughts?

[goku262002]

Glad about this, its just a shame it took 2 years to get to this point. man bad PR does wonders to your credibility.

[FantasticMrRobb]

Having a hard time figuring out the new backwards capability feature. Aren't you supposed to just find a 360 game that you've played before ready to download in the Games section? I really haven't looked into it much.
