Well the disk version as far as can be seen is still delayed as far as retail is concerned and ALL the promotion has been done with the PS family as lead consoles. ...and the movie is a Sony Picture.... But hey.. Perhaps you're right and Microsoft is the only company that throws "moneyhats"...

Oddly enough, Amazing Spiderman 2 came out today on Xbox One as a digital download title after all the speculation etc.. Obviously Sony has marketing dollars and part of that was to not mention the XBO version at all. Could part of that marketing money be for Activision to actually say the title was...

I wouldn't be worried about staff movement after 3 titles in a series. Hell, Microsoft lost all of Bungie in 1 shot and yet Halo 4 was still a pretty great game.

Was playing some more Rayman Legends last night. God damn this is such a great game. I've done just about everything this game has to offer now. Capped off all the gold trophies last night and saved all the Teensies a few weeks ago. The last thing I need to do now is get to 1 million Lums, unlock th...

Ironically, those guys I end up playing mostly on either the Vita because of PSN or on PC (with a 360 controller) because of the Humble Bundle. I really need to put more time into Strike Suit Zero though. That one is right up my alley buy I never put any real time into it.

Animalor

There is also a lot of ID@Xbox stuff coming that doesn't have any hard release dates yet either given that is was another completely reactionary measure.

Animalor

Ohh.. And Sony announced 7 million units sold yesterday and MS claimed 5 million shipped to retailers today.

Animalor

Results are in and Sony took March US sales according to NPD's. Xbox One comes in 2nd with 311k units moved. As far as software, here are the results (Console order means lead in Sales): 1.Titanfall (XBO, PC) 2.inFAMOUS Second Son (PS4) 3.South Park: The Stick Of Truth (360, PS3, PC) 4.Call Of Duty:...

What here is wanted space compared to iOS or Android which are just grids of static icons. Stuff here moves and gives me fresh information and generally feels much more alive and organic.

Animalor

I decided to change my home screen to the new, 3 column layout to see what the impact would be. I find that I'm using all 3 sizes of icons now and not just the small and square items to get more data on some of the live tiles. I also find that it is very dense however so I'm not sure how much I like...

If you want Cortana, change the region of your device to United States and reboot.

I haven't found a way to change the weather and distance defaults from her to metric but you can tell her to change that to celcius.

Nope. You can sign up as a dev for the AppStudio program for free at http://appstudio.windowsphone.com/. Just make sure to register with the same Microsoft ID as the primary account on your phone.

For the one of two other people that are using Windows Phone here, the 8.1 preview that includes Cortana is now available to download. It's a 1 way update, these are the final bits from Microsoft but doesn't include any manufacturer specific customizations (Nokia glance etc). This may also void your...

Here's a video from Scott Hanselman (Works on the Azure team at MS I believe) where he goes over the changes in the new Update for Windows 8.1 Lots of improvements for keyboard/mouse users. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcW8wu0Qnew The update should be live over Windows Update for everyone using 8.1.

Road America was nice looking and all but tracks with a lot of foliage/green and not much else I find uninspiring. My favorites in the original set by far are Bernese Alps, Yas Marina and Circuit de Prague.

Long Beach appears to be very similar to those and that makes me very happy.

The 2nd Free Update for Forza5 is coming out tomorrow (april 10th) and will include a whole new track: Long Beach http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSQnf-ZLDJw This is in addition to Road America that came out about 2 months ago now.

This is one point that requires no debate. The launch of the PS3 and now the Xbox One proves that.

Animalor

Well if the GAF forums are any indication. Microsoft is doing a pretty effective job at turning the tide of perception from the core gamers. Putting out solid, frequent updates to the platform quickly versus adding support for a headset and "Stability Updates" seem to be swaying the crowd.

One quick little bitch about Nintendo's policies. They allowed me to transfer my Wii Games and saves from my old Wii to the new unit. The problem is that the Virtual Console stuff is stuck in the Wii Emulator, it isn't playable on the WiiU side of things or the gamepad. If I want to get those versio...

Wasn't a call on quality, just use and investment. XBLA investment is substantial and the PS3 just wasn't getting played.

Once Mario Kart 8 comes you, the Wii U will get the Shit played out of it.

Traded in my PS3 today and put the cash towards a Pre-owned Wii U today. Walked out with a 32GB unit for about 170$ out of pocket with their additional 1 yr warranty. Crack opened the box and it also ended up being one of the Zelda limited edition with the fancy decorated controllers. The thing took...

So that hour or so I was inconvenienced with login issues the night Titanfall launched? I just got a message from MS over Live that I'm getting 7 extra days of Live Gold as a "we're sorry"..

One of these 2 was Elbert Perez. I follow him on Twitter.

He was one of the very early Windows Phone 7 developpers who focused exclusively on games. His games ended up getting very good ratings on the store and did very well. Microsoft hired him about 18 months ago if I recall.

I played 10-15 hands of this on my Surface Pro a while back (Desktop version works great with touch input as well, Kudos Blizzard). It's a fun game if you enjoy a lighter version of MtG. Not something I would play for hours on end though.

Animalor

I dunno about that. I would consider deploying this at the office. Current 8.1, no way in hell. As long as I can get the current 8.1 experience still on my Surface Pro I'm fine with that. One of the other big news items out of build is that OEM's will be able to get a Windows License for FREE on Pho...

Played it with Miir last night. Seems extremely well done. I was playing it on torment 1 difficulty but got to an event that was stop attrition on both ends and I wasn't winning so I toned it down a bit.

All in all, very well executed IMO.

Frankly Facebook is starting to look less and less like a tech visionary and starting to act more like Yahoo! in it's hayday. Buying property after property and doing nothing with them to hedge their bets against the next big thing.

They're deathly afraid of being the next MySpace.

The inferior hardware thing always gets me.

On paper, the Xbox 360 also had "inferior hardware" yet the experiences between the two devices for gaming were pretty much on par. I see it being pretty much the same this gen, regardless of what the pixel counters at Digital Foundry say.

Yoshida replied to Keighley and corrected that he said the firmware would allow dimming of the LED, won't allow users to turn it off completely.

To be fair, to have digital pre-order numbers, you actually have to offer digital pre-orders to begin with. Microsoft doesn't offer those. If you want the game digitally, you buy it when it comes out. Sounds like a fail on Microsoft's part then! For a console that was all about LOOKING FORWARD that...

Titanfall is not the best game on Xbone. That honor belongs to either Plants vs Zombies or Dead Rising 3! Titanfall is the same model car we've been driving for years but with new rims and a spoiler.

You're drunk Leonard, go home. I bought this on the store last night. I only noticed after I bought it that I got the vita version.

I've played this game for probably a good 25-30 hours already and I can confirm that it does not, in fact, look like poo. It's a title that looks and feels quite amazing in motion.

The only thing I miss from the 360 is the System Video Player that allowed me to play content from my PC without having to interact with the PC.
