Pretty damn good deal though.
Eh. It's a holiday deal, and the only way it's more than a fourth is if you're comparing the Kinectless SKU with the Kinect bundle, so it's not really a clear-cut price drop.

This is truth.

Of course they couldn't keep that price-point up.
So apparently, Microsoft has decided to keep the One dropped at $349.
Say what? Shouldn't that be the other way around?
At least in terms of pc. Tablet I can understand. But PC?

Play your Xbox One games on your PC. That makes no sense, right?
Yeah, it doesn't. Why do that when it's likely that your PC has better specs than an Xbox One, and even if it doesnt, isn't it better to just play it natively with minimal lag compared to the streaming stuff? I mean, for something that's meant to show that MS "treats gaming on Windows 10 with as much passion and energy as we have on the Xbox console," it doesn't really make a great case that one of the major things showing it is merely streaming games from a weaker console into a more or less capable PC that would benefit more from native ports instead. As a PC gamer, I'm more interested in their announcement that Fable Legends will have cross-platform play between PC and XONE than the streaming thing.

Actually, statistically it's a lot more likely that your PC has worse specs than the Xbox One, if the Steam surveys are to be believed.

In other news, and more interesting to the average consumer, (unlike us), the Xbox 1 has another price drop in Britain:

Backwards compatibility with 360 titles has been announced. MS set up a poll so people can let them know what they want to see come to the XOne.

What a Wonderful World!
This makes me extremely happy.
The Reaper Games starts anew.

Go vote on which 360 titles you want made backwards compatible.
Like how they've likely been doing for a few days using the exact same link that is just a few posts above yours... >_<

So the BC games seem to all have massive framerate issues.

Woo! I'm in the Preview Program!
Hope EA gets on board so that ME2 and ME3 will be available when it's officially started.

For any Canadians on Amazon Prime (and I feel sorry for you if you are): you can currently get a One for $ 339.99 CDN.

Oh my fucking God. This new Dashboard is the WORST. This is an EMBARRASSMENT, and I can't imagine how anyone thought this was even a remotely good idea.
Not only is the navigation the worst, but none of my Kinect voice commands work. Can't go to Activity, Friends, Messages, etc.
Hello again!
I have to agree. the 360 Dashboard is so much cleaner and easier to move around in.
You can't get it wrong if it's the truth!
i think you know what I mean.
That's not what a fourth is I this case.
In fact, it's even worse then a fourth.
They dropped the price by even more then a fourth.
That's.....pretty bad.
