I see some game developers are saying we see price cuts much quicker this gen than last as the cost of development is dropping a lot faster these days

I saw the same thing myself. I still wouldn't expect it too soon though. It took MS 20 months to drop the price of the 360, so maybe in 12 months or so we'll see the first price reduction.

Yes, but only via text messaging, I don't believe you will be able to voice chat with them.

Thats correct, you cant party or voice chat with people on 360.

 

[House]

As long as it doesnt drop in price as fast as my 770 GTX did i'll be happy.

-25% in 4 months and the PC crowd wonder why consoles are popular.

I know.... it's quite odd.

It's as if people think being loyal to this or that brand, that they will be rewarded somehow.

Have you seen that Microsoft is giving out free copies of Killer Instinct and Xbox One consoles to select loyal Xbox customers?

5 Xbox One features.

Didn't know about the free SkyDrive space and Cloud streaming, not sure I will use it but it's nice I guess.

I didn't realise owning a console made someone a fanboy

Anybody know if the NFL GamePass app will be added to Xbox One? - They have the NFL and NBA equivalents on the 360 but only the NFL Fantasy Football :/ which seems a bit strange!

Also does anybody know if PS4 would have this too? (I've never owned a PS3 so not sure what is already available!)

Ooooh... XO Mass Effect 4 teaser screenies http://www.xb1.co.uk/xbox-one-news/bioware-teases-new-mass-effect/

 

[eyetrip]

Noooooooooooo. If ME4 is exclusive to XB One, then I will cave!

And I love that the One has rear USB ports - why can't you do that Sony? WHY?!?!

The first wave of Xbox One TV and Entertainment apps have been announced for the UK, the US and other launch territories.

The apps will be released between launch on November 22 and spring 2014, though Microsoft hasn't stated which apps will be ready from day one.

"We set out to make Xbox One the all-in-one games and entertainment hub for your home. The one system that offers the best games next to the best entertainment experiences and apps," said Marc Whitten, Xbox chief product officer. "Along with offering a stellar app portfolio from around the world, Xbox One takes the next step by offering them in a way that is seamless and easy to use."

Real shame that BBC iPlayer and Sky Go aren't on there, but I'm hopeful they will be announced and released relatively soon.

 

[Nimdok]

At least it's got Netflix at launch

Ignore the fact the link is from an XB1 site, I'm certain Mass Effect 4 will be multiplatform.

 

[DAIR]

Neither did I....

Loyal Owners and fanboys getting paid. Wish I still owned and Xbox as I love KI.

 

[Nismo]

I hope Xbox Fitness is out relatively soon after launch, I'm quite eager to try it out with Kinect.

Might be cause these services can only be accessed behind the pay wall.

It won't be exclusive, far to much money in that game for EA.

But ... The guy is using a XB1 controller, obviously the lead development platform

Bit of a let down really. I'm assuming as they are listed in Country, those under the United States section won't be available in the UK... IE all of the useful ones! (for me at least) Quite surprised/dissapointed

Me too, it looks rather impressive, even though I think trying the Insanity workout would kill me.
