$499.99 us dollars. lol



yeap pretty cheap considering it will be my cheapest tech device.... well no the cheapest is my central speaker at 349 but what do you do with just one central speaker??? my phone cost more, my Tv cost more, my tablet PC cost more, my subwoofer cost more, my AVR cost more.... so yeah concidering what it packs it's a pretty awesome deal.... well consoles in general are cheap considering what they do now a day and the amount of hours they are used.... with my TV it's probably the most used device in the house...

So you don't own a Wii, PS3, Xbox 360, or Wii U.

Got it. Why are you here again?

Great news.

I love that Titanfall is getting some amazing previews. Everyone in media even the ones who don't like FPS's are praising this game. Cant wait for Spring 2014.

Forza 5 looks incredible. Like we didn't know that already. haha. And full confirmation of dynamic lighting system. Its actually called by Turn 10 High Dynamic Range Image based Linghting. The same tech used in Avatar.

Kinect Sports Rivals looks so much fun. This is the umpteenth Media o associate the feel and gameplay with Wave Race. That alone makes the entry fee for me. Wave Race 64 and Bluestorm were my 2 faveourite water sport games Ive ever played. And very good arcade racing games in there own right.

Cant wait for Xbox One. So much diversity in its launch lineup. It looks better than my fave launch in Snes. Hopefully it lives up to the hype the media are praising these games with. Normally when all the media agree it translates very well. YAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY!

Nice stab at Sonys E3 2006 ;), except this is cheaper, even more so when you factor in inflation.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Wow, those sound like very nice experiences. Glad they all sound ready to go.

I am a bit surprised they said the Kinect 2 is so large. It's about exactly the same dimensions as the current one - as the same limiting factor - audio needs to be a specific size. The new one is just thicker, but almost exactly just as wide.

The funny things is when I bought my Halo: Reach Xbox 360 and Kinect I payed about the same as an Xbox One and and extra Xbox One controller. (Not adjusted for inflation.)



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

Cheap, but not as cheap as the competition :P

I found your title very misleading. One could think that Titanfall was running on XOne hardware at EB expo.

But we know we have only seen the PC version of this game until now. Nobody has ever seen it on any Xbox family hardware.

Well you must be wrong.

Because Press Start staff in the article copied in OP wrote this

  • Ok, so this may not be an actual feature of the game but none the less I am quite proud of this. Myself and Editor of Press-Start Shannon came first and second of the winning team against other media members and EA staff in Titanfall.

    •  

    So they obviously have played it on an Xbox One. Otherwise they are blatantly lying to their readerbase. They have no reason to lie about this. This was very recent. After TGS and Pax.

    I had no problems with Kinect Sports 2 wave game and it wa sput into a tiny environment with hundreds of peopel crosisng my path and people behind me watching me play. Even the person showign off teh game was putting his on my shoulders to demonstrate that with old kinect doing taht will make the game unplayable but with kinect 2 you still keep onm playing with no problems. The only thign is taht ou have do it teh right way and with taht gaem is so responsive that you don't need to turn much for it to turn. the distance that i was from kinect was really really small .. more than half of what kinect 1 required .

    I believe this is smething that people who are use to the first Kinect have to adjust to.  With Kinect 1.0, bigger movements worked best because of the lag and delay in processing.  It appears with Kinect 2.0 with the time of flight tech included, the device is able to pick up the smallest moviements.  


    Yea i know. i had to adjust as i kept pn crashing to the wall at first XD. That game only requires subtle movments.  Its does work this time lol  unlike the first kinect.
