Oh wow, that title is very much misleading. I had the issue last night, after attempting to try again for a few times I simply chose skip and stay offline. My xbox immediately went to the normal home screen and was connected to Live with no issues. Granted it's a shame an issue like this even exists but my god it wasn't a huge deal and it's not locking people out. Reported.

Awesome, currently enjoying Darksiders 1 from last months' games with gold. I hope we get Darksiders 2 in the next coming months.

Please elaborate how that matters. Thanks.

@blue,
Did you read the article where DF said comparatively speaking the only card that matched what the Scorpio was doing in the Forza demo was the GTX 1080? They go into detail how more efficient the new Xbox is relative to PCs. You are correct that on paper 9TF always beats 6TF, but that's not always the case in terms of real life experience.

I really hope it's $400. I also do worry it'll be $500, but I don't think they will price it higher than that. The worrisome part is they used to sell consoles at a loss to get more people to buy it and then make money on the games. Now MS is selling the same game one the OG Xbox One, Xbox One S, Scorpio, and PC. They may not subsidize the Scorpio because of this.

Can you please provide your source confirming this new console comes with an SSD and an Elite Controller? Thanks.

I do. 4k TVs are more affordable than ever. It's pretty much exactly like 1080p TVs were 10 years ago, maybe even cheaper.

The real winners are the consumers who don't feed flame wars and enjoy gaming regardless of a very blind "brand loyalty" acting like somehow their purchase of a $300 piece of hardware somehow makes them a better human being.

Ok so were people thinking they were gonna follow Activision's sales practice and limit the remaster exclusively to the purchase of their new game? I was always under the impression that pre-ordering HW2 nabbed you simply early access to the game.

I think calling the xbox one a failure is a very ignorant and extremist. If you said that Microsoft's original vision of the xbox one with Don Maddock was a failure then i would agree. That's why they kicked out Maddock and promoted someone who actually KNEW what real gamers want and how to actually market to gamers. Ever since Phil Spencer took over as head of xbox, the xbox one has made SIGNIFICANT improvements and turned into a truly fantastic machine. Also, their practices are now...

What's funny is MS has already made an Xbox One Elite, I own one. I feel like they could follow the mentality of Sony and name is something like Xbox One Plus, but I wouldn't name it Pro just like Sony did. If it happened the way I want it, they would just call it the Microsoft Xbox going forward.

I picked up an Xbox One S right at the end of October as I bought the LG OLED 55" B6. I've been immensely impressed with Forza Horizon 3 and Battlefield 1 with HDR and 4k even though it is up-ressed. Considering how spectacular games look right now, and the fact that I've been progressively playing games less and less as of late, I'm starting to doubt the need for me personally to get the Scorpio. I may if I'm willing to drop the cash, but the chances are slim to none if ...

Buying a video game digitally allows you to download the game file and install it directly on to your hard drive for native use. 99.9% of digital movies are streamed whether through a monthly paid service (i.e. Netflix) or if purchased fully from a digital store. The act of streaming compresses the movie file so that it may be distributed to your device easier, however this diminishes the quality of the image. A physical disc containing the full movie file will always look better than the sam...

Desperation... like when you write a novel that only blindly bashes a company and their consumer-friendly marketing simply because your mom and dad didn't buy you their product for Christmas. That's what I define as sheer desperation.

You won't regret it! The game is fantastic!!

That's a 5400 RPM drive which is not an upgrade at all and completely bottlenecks the SATA3 bandwidth. At the very least you would want a 7200 RPM drive but more preferably you should get a real SSD and not that "hybrid" crap.

I've been having a great time with Legion since it launched and am wholeheartedly pleased with how this expansion has turned out. However, I've been off and on with WoW since just prior to Burning Crusade and I really do wish that Legion will be the last "expansion" of WoW as I severely want a full-fledged sequel to WoW. I understand the chances of that happening are slim to none considering the millions of people (including myself, my sub is up in the middle of Jan with no ...

They've already examined it, check their YouTube. They had a hard time getting it installed which was definitely disappointing to hear but once they got it it installed it was rock solid and beautiful.

@NewMonday
PC games have to work on a plethora of different graphics cards so no developer is able to tune and optimize their game for a specific GPU. The graphical settings used in the benchmark were VERY HIGH and the 390x had 25fps average. Lets imagine worst case scenario that PC optimization is the same as console (which is absolutely not the case), if the settings were turned down by just a little bit then the 390x could do 4k 30fps. I don't know why people think that consol...

As a regular user of both, I would agree with this. Also agree with Septic that PSN has very much improved over the years but I'd say it still has some more progress to go.
