Is that when you'll jump on board? $399 and Sunset Overdrive?

That or Halo! I hope they have some special edition Xbox for one of those games!

ntkrnl's leak mentioned a special edition Sunset Overdrive Xbox in October.

That would be pretty sweet. Hopefully they release a Halo one too.... They probably will.

Hmm he's been hit and miss tho, I'll believe it when I see it!!

Wait, what did he miss? He said his launch schedule was subject to change and the countries he listed were very similar to to Microsoft's official list. It seems to me like since ntkrnl's leak they decided to combine tier 2 and tier 3 and release them one month earlier than tier 3 was planned, in September. 


Titanfall XB1 wasn't publicly available either though.

Ah fair enough, well I'm still gonna wait for some of his leaks to come true to fully believe them.

So far with the tier 2 launch and Titanfall Xbox he's only been slightly on the mark. I'm waiting too for something more concrete.

On the topic of tier 2 launch, I can't believe they're waiting so long. The only reason that makes sense is September is when they will cut the price WW, and they want to debut in those (mostly all very Sony pro countries) on par with PS4's price.

Yeah, but he also said that they were only considering making it at the time, and his mock up looked almost identical to the official one that Microsoft gave Respawn. 

I did just notice that he said $15 for Titanfall map packs, and Respawn officially said $10, but that could have been changed. 

I guess we'll have to wait and see how much of his leak was accurate after E3.


That's the best his done prediction wise. He seems off the mark, as I said, I need somethng more concrete from him/her.

E3 will be awesome though, either way.

Makes sense. Games with Gold should start then maybe too. Hell, throw that game in with a download code while they're at it. Make it seem like a bundle!

IMO they should give it a Project Spark skin, free game bundled! :P but in all seriousness, isn't PS gonna have microtransactions? Maybe give $20 credit.

I always said they should have done a Minecraft bundle for 360, that would have been impossible to resist on shelves for passers by!

That would be my guess too, they want to release it at $400 in Tier 2. They're likely also waiting on some Japanese exclusives to be finished in time for release, and possibly also waiting on support for localized features like Kinect voice support and OneGuide tv support. 


Good point. It would be DOA in Japan right now.

All good reasons, if they have a steady stream of Japanese centric games this fall, it won't totally bomb.
