Okay, so for a long time people kept talking about "smartglass" support, especially in games. I used Smartglass on my phone, but it never connected to the One. Today I finally realize that there is two Smartglass apps... one for 360 and one for the One. LOL at my stupidity. Smartglass, in the 5-8 minutes that I've used it, makes a great blu-ray player remote control. :D


lol for real?  I had the same problem so i gave up on it haha

EDIT: Apparently SmartGlass XBO isnt supported on WP7 -_-

So i have a question for you guys. Does anybody use Xbox Video? if so does it get Game of Thrones Season 4 when it comes out? What i mean, does it get each episode the day after it is on HBO or whatever? If so i could get it on Xbox Video instead of getting HBO.

I just wanted a blu-ray remote, so I googled why it never connected. Glad I found that out sooner than later.

And I'm sorry, but that's really  funny. Really ironic too, since I use the iPhone 5 :)

That green app? Isn't Game of Thrones one of the most popular shows out there? I'm thinking they will, they have up to 3 right now form what i checked. You could also buy the season pass when it comes out, most shows have them. Sorry for the not so helpful answers.

If it's anything like other shows, it usually is available by the next day,I don't kno for GOT specifically though. Xbox Video can be a little pricey too.

I hope for the Digital Pricing update coming, they go through every game available digitally on the X360 and price them accordingly. So many old games still going for well above $10. Arcade titles could be dropped by $5 too.

I think Xbox Video just got Season 3 recently so the chances of it getting Season 4 when the TV show starts is very slim. As far as I know, the only way to watch HBO shows withing half a year of them showing up on TV is on the HBO GO App.

^Glad to see United Front is making the Xbox One port, it'll give them some much needed Xbox One experience so the Xbox One version of Sleeping Dogs: Triad Wars should be well optimized for the Xbox One.

Well thats a postive, Didn't think off that, But still the PS4 version has the better developer studio, United aren't experienced at all with ports and the other studio is bascially made for ports Lol

Can't wait for Triad Wars 


Nah, I think United Front will do a good job on Tomb Raider despite their lack of porting experience. I have faith in them after Sleeping Dogs, they did a fantastic job on it even though it was only their second game.

The only downside that I can see to this announcement is that Sleeping Dogs: Triad Wars will probably be delayed into 2015 now since a large portion of their development team will have been working on Tomb Raider for quite awhile.

It would have been pretty easy for any studio to port tomb raider to X1 and PS4. I highly doubt that a new game will be delayed because of this.

Just remember that the next gen consoles have a very similar architecture to that of normal gaming PC's.

The studio really wouldnt matter in this case. They simply port the PC version to both consoles...

Both versions seem to be performing inline with their equivalent off the shelf gpu

wow 25% of people who voted think the X1 will only sell 5 million units or lower. Thats crazy predictions considering the sales over the holiday period. The console still needs to release in some countries.

I went with 13 million. That means that it will need to sell 10 million units for the year which is easily doable.

That will be 3 - 4 million over the November - December holiday period. And about 5 - 7 million leading up to the holiday.

I guess the 10% who voted for 5 million were obviously trolling :?
