Anyone tried remote play with AC4 yet? For some reason the buttons on the rear touchpad aren't registering. Not a problem for most of the game, but for the ship those are the spyglass/mortar buttons. Anyone else have problems?

Microsoft to launch new version of Xbox One in 1Q14

While Microsoft will launch the Xbox One on November 22, it is preparing to introduce a new version of the Xbox One in the first quarter of 2014, according to Taiwan-based supply chain makers who say they have been asked to begin shipments of the new model in that quarter.

Shipments of Xbox One from the manufacturing side began at one million units a month in the third quarter and monthly shipments have been increasing in the fourth quarter, the sources indicated.

Microsoft has recently announced that its Xbox One features Internet Explorer, supporting both HTML5 and CSS3 technologies. The system will also support gesture and voice control.

Wouldn't surprise me at all watching the giant bomb stream guys struggle with the stupid thing for over half the time they're supposed to be playing games.

My problem is since I have a PS4, that there isn't enough MS exclusive titles to spend money one one even if it was 100$ less without Kinect. Probably would go for a Wii-U instead since Nintendo exclusives have ZERO chance of being on either PS or Xbox

If you have a PC I can't think of much worth playing on the xbox that you'll miss out on.

Maybe Gears and Halo that's about it. I've survived this long without them, I'll be fine.

Removing the kinect would let them lower the price significantly, probably down to 350 or so, undercut the PS4.

I'm so over shooters, it would take something like Saints Row, Grand Theft Auto or Watch Dogs that would make me even consider it. But that won't happen.

I don't like corridor shooters much.

STALKER, Shooter RPG type games, are more my cup of tea. All that running around just shooting one another in multiplayer bores me to tears.

So we searched all day to get a friend of mine her Xbox one, and nothing.

We called, and went too pretty much every Walmart, target, Cost Co, best buy ,Frys, Gamestop in pretty much all of Houston.

Fucking nothing.

I wish I could bring that thread up again where UT claims there would be a surplus of Xbox ones in the stores on launch, and you didn't need to pre order one.
We couldn't even find her a PS4 instead.

Yep same, Thief can't come out soon enough I really hope it is not a failure. As for Xbox availability I would be interested in seeing units shipped # from MS, it feels like Sony doubled that number at least.

Okay Ryse is awesome. Actually looks like a next gen title and the eyecandy is grand. So what if the hero is predictably square jawed, not everyone needs to be a hipster anti hero. It may be short, but damn it's fun

Column, Ut has since redacted his claims. The other day when he bought his PS4 was the best day of his life.

Also Ut, Killzone to me is a rent.

Fwiw, my gamestop buddy (store manager...) said they have both xbones and ps4's online, but you have to buy a bundle that comes out to around ~$1000...

I looked at the xbone bundle, and it comes with decent stuff, but still..kinda expensive.

A 1000? wtf.

the console is 400 and 500.

What could justify 600 extra dollars for the PS4??
and 500 for the Xbox??

Gamestop can't price gouge, so they must mean they put up the bundles themselves?

Curious if you've got a link to the bundles - don't see them on a simple search of their site.

[Depending on what the bundle entails $1k isn't out of my range for consideration - i.e. Vita + full launch lineup I'd probably stomach (would likely sell half the titles though)]
