Picked up BF4 for my One on Sunday. Managed to get it for £25 in the end from my local independant (I had money off vouchers from a console purchase a while back). Enjoying it so far but I have only started the campaign to get a feel for it.

I wanted something to play on Live alongside Titanfall and wasn't that interested in Ghosts.

It has taken me a little while to adjust to the gameplay style of BF4 (tweaking sentivities etc) but I am getting there .... slowly. No doubt I will get absolutely mullered online though.

Now the wait is on for Friday. Well actually Sunday in my case as I won't be able to play TF until then due to other commitments.

Do we think that we will get a new console revision in 2014? To take advantage of new die shrink technologies like we saw throughout the PS3/Xbox360 era?

Maybe in the same shell, I don't expect a slim till earliest 2015 Xmas time.

Ah yeah, I suppose they could improve the process but keep using the same chassis. Think I'll jump in when they do release a slim version, hopefully the next big Halo / Gears of War game will be out at a similar time.

They wont make revisions of the hardware they currently have proves solid without heating issues etc.

I think even that might be rather early, it took three years for the PS3 slim to come out and 4 and a half years for the 360 S.

They could significantly change the size of it right now by using a double sided PCB, probably be a bigger reduction than a die shrink.

My Kinect just died!

Playing FIFA and a message popped up saying that it was disconnected and when I looked there is no light on it. Looks 100% dead to me........funny thing being that if it hadnt told me I would probs never of noticed

Just had the same when playing Fifa, did you find any fix or not bothered?

Using a new process can save costs. More chips per wafer. Both Sony and Microsoft will take advantage of newer process if they prove cheaper during the lifespan of the new consoles. Also as less cooling is required they can shrink down the console chassis itself and the cooling parts required so will be cheaper to produce.

Hoping a new slim Xbox1 comes sooner rather than later, so could squeeze a slim one next to our Wii U

They will use reduced die size as it has an increase on yield (less cost to ms) however that doesn't mean they will change the chassis.

Power supply arrived in the post today, and I've managed to get a mint condition One controller with play and charge kit and Forza 5 for £65 altogether, can't wait to get all this started!

I didnt mean chip sets, I meant the physical hardware and internal layout.

Can anyone suggest (or know of even) a good wireless headset for the X1? I've done some google searches but a lot of the popular choices seem to be wired. (I hate wires )

 

[antijoke]

Astro A50?

 

[rigby93]

Astro A50?

Any that are any cheaper? Perhaps more towards the £100-£150 mark

 

[antijoke]

I don't think there are apart from the older generation of Turtle Beach headsets.

Got the Microsoft stereo headset yesterday, one 3.5mm jack plugged into and all powered by the xb one controller.

Wireless sound from the xb one to the controller, was using a set of TB x42's wireless but the above solution sounds so much better etc plus £60 is not a bad price to pay for them.

Cheers all

 

[Andybtsn]

So the Microsoft jobby only has one wire to the controller? Does it not drain the battery of the pad super quick? Does it have 5.1?

 

[roman59]

Yes one wire to the controller and that's it, using it last night the batteries in the controller didn't seem to drain any quicker at all.

Stereo only but the quality is very very good nice and crisp with good bas too.

Hope this helps?

 

[Andybtsn]

Yes thanks, I did like the 5.1 headset I had especially in FPS as I could tell when people were behind me, not sure I should wait for something similar..
