Proper in ear headphones produce amazing bass. The ear properly isolates the sound and uses your canal as a chamber with in ear headphones. Obviously, bass isn't going to be as powerful as huge headphones that have bigger speakers, or sound systems, but it will sound just as good with proper in ear headphones and a proper MP3 player that doesn't screw with the sound signature.

You must buy headphones that raise the bass on the drivers to pretend to wannabe music enth...

Based on what? The heavy amount of investing in Oculus before the acquisition? The money made on very good sales for their developer units?

I think they had plenty of resources to do all of this before. But, they MIGHT not have had as good of connections. But, I'm pretty sure with how huge Oculus exploded onto the market that everyone was coming to them.

@DOMination-

And, he left Mojang because the team wanted to join Microsoft. It's not about shares in this case. He was part of a team which he created. Do you think he's going to force them not to make their own decisions just because he has more shares? He's not a business tyrant. He let them chose and he didn't agree with it so he left instead of forcing them to do it his way.

Notch had nothing to do with the sale. He stepped down from ownership a while ago to be a regular developer in Mojang. He recently left after the acquisition because he was disappointed and he had scoffed at Microsoft decisions and policies before and isn't exactly fond of them aside from releasing on their platform.

Sony acquired MM before LBP was anything but a concept, not even resembling the final game past the platformer and physics based gameplay.

Naughty Dog has had a relationship with Sony for years before being bought by Sony. Same with Sucker Punch. It's not like they just saw studios and simply bought them for their games. They had relationships and they bought them and made them better and provided them with everything they need.

MS has bought many studio...

@XBLSkull

Apparently, if you haven't already signed up to develop for XBox then the clause doesn't apply to you so when you do sign up to release your game on the console you can do it later than the versions on another platform, so I heard. But, Microsoft has still been bending their own rule on popular developers already signed up, because they're popular. Lesser known developers have little to no choice but to follow this rule, and then their game they worked s...

Ohh.. Okay.. I get it now...

So.. Microsoft LOVES gamers and especially their XBox gamers that they would spend $2billion or more on one small studio rather than on multiple new studios to give a couple AAA titles. I can feel the love.

I hope that Microsoft also buys Square Enix, Rockstar, and Blizzard/Activision. I didn't know money bought love.. But, now that you have assured me that acquiring studios that would have released g...

@gangsta_red

So, you are waiting on X1 to justify your statement? Or is their past history somehow reminiscent of hope for the brand based on how much they haven't been progressing with their exclusives and how much they've been trying to get hits at competitors with timed 3rd party deals rather than with 1st party new IP's?

An open development for indies last generation, was closed for this generation until market backlash. Microsoft hardly reac...

21M copies x $7 = $147M.

800K(PC/Mac) alpha copies x $13 = $10.4M.

2M(PC/Mac) beta copies x $19 = $38M.

13.3M(PC/Mac) MC 1.0 copies x $27 = $359.1M.

12M(x360) x $20 = $240M.

6M(other platforms so far) x $20 = $120M.

So far, 914M from MineCraft sales alone. This doesn't count console DLC or merchandise. They are clearly on their way to 1 billion from lice...

I'm sorry. I must have missed all the new IP's and top notch sequels with more content and better story and gameplay than their predecessors. Instead I am seeing a poor Fable spin-off, a not so Halo like generic action movie in the form of a Halo game, Forza with less of everything, even Forza Horizon 2 seems like the same game as last time but less cars, Quantum Break doesn't seem like it has any real plot and just a nice engine and a twist on the Cl...

1. It's worse for gamers, because it's one of the most iconic multiplatform games in the past decade, everyone knows about it and most gamers have played it. Now many people won't get to play it.

2. Mojang doesn't even focus on the other platforms; they pay other studios to port it so it's not like they are actually focusing on more versions themselves.

3. Why would you be happy for Microsoft to buy out deve...

PS Now is for PS3 and older games with non-PlayStation devices in mind.

PS Now has nothing to do with PS4 or future console titles(It's way too expensive to make it with hardware that isn't already almost a decade old).

If you think PS Now has some connection to the future generation of DRM gaming than you're just grasping at straws. It's entirely different from mandatory restrictions on regular media. It is an alternative and is meant for mak...

No case, not including mouse and keyboard costs, not including OS cost, not including wireless card. And.. This thing isn't going to play many modern games past lowest settings.

It also has hardly any room for upgrades. The CPU socket probably doesn't support the latest Intel processors to upgrade to down the line. The power supply would need to be upgraded to even think of a heavier graphics card. The RAM is fine though. Oh, and it doesn't have a case, good luck...

You know that DX12 doesn't have exlusive features.. right? PS4 has all features that DX12 has. DX12 is just a library of tools. Even if OpenGL or FreeBSD didn't have these tools they could easily be added in, even by developers themselves. These are far more open libraries. DX is blatantly insignificant in helping the progress of these libraries. It has hindered the progress of superior, more open, and highly compatible libraries like OpenGL which can be accessed on PC, Mac, and even ...

I think it's because their is no warm light even though the door is open. And the lights on the wall are ridiculously too bright for a room with so much light inside.

Some people think it's always about turning settings up and crunching more numbers. It's the attention to detail and accuracy.

British people use the term "Brit". It was made up by British people, and has never been used as an insult in itself.

White and black aren't nationalities. Those are skin colors.

Can't put forth the effort to say "Mexican"? It's honestly offensive just to not put effort into saying what someones nationality is.

Au? You're going to reference Australians as "Au"? The term ...

Tell me.. Which nationality do people typically abbreviate. Most people that say "Jap" use it offensively. I've heard it, mainly from ignorant rednecks. It's still an offensive term and it's also offensive not to put forth the effort to say their entire nationality, "Japanese".
