The point is that he feels the need to justify his purchase because he's insecure...

Either that, or feels the need to compare the review scores of a post-apocalyptic survival-horror RPG to a sci-fi FPS. Which is completely reasonable and totally understandable... - _ -

"I never opted out." That's the issue. You have to opt /in/ to receive emails and whatnot from Microsoft. They legally can't send these types of things to you until you manually opt-in.

Notice the *asterisk at the bottom of the page. http://news.xbox.com/2014/1...

There's nothing they can do if you don't let them. :/

My understanding is that everyone who has the Day One achievement received it. The message we all got on XBL was thanking us for being an early adopter... 3 people in my house got the XO on Day One, but only two got the Day One Edition. Those same two got the LIMBO download.

Only for exclusives because Microsoft has some.

The fact that you had to include DriveClub...

On Oct 23 MS announced revenue of $23.20 billion for the QUARTER ending September 30, 2014, putting gross profit at $14.93 billion. http://www.microsoft.com/in...

So yeah, I'd say they can sustain these ridiculous offerings.

Edit: Also, mcstorm does a good job explaining why the prices were dropped.

Considering how much asian markets like stuff like this, I could see this adding a little wind under the Japanese XO's wings.

Key word: "little"

Things like Karaoke are usually done in social environments where friends all go to hang out and have food and drink. Sure you can do that at home, but I'm not sure how well it will translate. Guess we'll find out. :)

@1.1.1 ... ಠ_ಠ

Gotta agree with this. Halo is so engrained in what makes it great, that adding (or subtracting) anything isn't entirely necessary. Adding something, like power-ups (Halo 3) is an okay addition, but adding Reach's armor abilities is the un-doing of what was so solid about Halo's sandbox.

Sure, it made some great Customs, but as far as MatchMaking? I'm all about that "classic" experience.

I was done when Adam "left" X-Play... And even then, the last few months of him being on the show kinda lost their magic.

Sad to see the channel go, but in all honesty, it probably should have happened a long time ago. :/

I was having the conversation with my brother a few days ago - imagine if Rare did a Conker's Bad Fur Day with multiplayer in the same "style" as Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare... I mean, the MP in Bad Fury Day was, in and of itself, was amazing... But bring that strangely cute yet incredibly violent/gory multiplayer into an online environment? God that'd be awesome...

Even if they didn't add a "killer" campaign, I'd still be happy.

Oh what planet does the PS4 version look better than any other version?! They're identical in EVERY SCENE except for the lighting difference at 3:50. Whatever you're smoking, I think we could all use a hit or two.

I'd say H2 (and now H2A) have better Co-op, but there's no denying that the entire franchise has some of the best within the entire shooter genre.

Personally? I feel that CE stands the test of time, but putting it side by side with others can cast it in a light that's less than it deserves. Playing TMCC over the week, matchmaking Team Slayer from H2 to H2A to H3 to HCE definitely makes CE look like the "worst," but putting everything else aside and exami...

In the process of constructing a few custom games. Fat Kid and Roundy Roundy to name 2. ;)

"and with locke being a more advanced spartan i bet he'll kick masterchiefs a**. "

You clearly know nothing about the difference between Spartan IIs and Spartan IVs... SIV's are garbo in comparison. (Hence their expendability.)
