Re: Xbox One: Thoughts Turn Ironic on November 22nd
Call of Duty: Ghosts is guaranteed to have at least four DLC releases with at least 16 maps added. When Infinity Ward has remade maps from prior games, they've always been free for all players. I've pre-ordered the Hardened Edition which includes the season pass amongst other goodies.
Battlefield 4 is confirmed to have five rounds of DLC with at least one of the releases being remakes of maps from Battlefield 3. I'm waiting for reviews of the game before I make the jump on pre-ordering for the XO.

Re: Xbox One: Thoughts Turn Ironic on November 22nd
OMFG - the workers at Wal Mart are the dumbest people on the planet! I go to do the in-store order so I can get it on Day 1 and they have a display with purchase slips (each with a bar code) - I take them to the register and the lady just looks at me and says she needs the actual item to ring it up. I tell her it is a pre-order and that she should just scan the bar code on the paper. She refuses and says she needs a manager for help.
The manager comes over and looks at the slips and says that I need the boxes ... I said it is a pre-order and that the item doesn't come out until November. The manager and the register person then say they need to go in the back to look for the item. 25 min later they finally come back and say that they couldn't find it (no shit, dumbass) and that I have to come back at 10am when the electronics person comes in.
So they send me on my way with the slips and a migraine.....

Re: Xbox One: Thoughts Turn Ironic on November 22nd
I received the new delivery date e-mail from Amazon for my Day One Edition as well. I really need to get cracking and figure out what games I really want. I have Watch Dogs, AC: Black Flag, COD: Ghosts and Battlefield 4 in my cart. Part of me wants to delete Battlefield and the other parts want to ditch COD. I'm torn.
The correct answer is to get both shooters and pick between the two open world Ubisoft games. By the time you finish your open world game, the other will be $30.

Some stuff about Fantasia and the Kinect.
http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2013/0...t-rhythm-game/
Still not really appealing to me, but actually could be kind of neat for music fans.

Re: Xbox One: Thoughts Turn Ironic on November 22nd
I don't know a heck of a lot about the Fantasia game, but it sounded kind of lame at first. I LOVE Rock Band so ill give them the benefit of the doubt. I also have heard nothing but praise from hands on demos, and some GameStop managers I know said it looked really good. Could be a sleeper hit. Seems like a good opportunity for a free to play game with song DLC.

Re: Xbox One: Thoughts Turn Ironic on November 22nd
Here is a pretty good summary of 33 things to know about the Xbox One. I'm sure most of us know this already, but here it is anyways:

Xbox One's still-in-beta dashboard, multitasking previewed in video leak
In a move reminding us of the kid that leaked the first in the wild shots of the Xbox 360, YouTuber Jackson Carter has posted a two minute video claiming to show a working Xbox One. After flashing the console itself and a controller as proof, he focuses mostly on the UI, displaying its Windows 8-style tile layout. You can check out our detailed impressions of the console's UI right here, but to actually see it in motion -- multitasking, Ryse beta, Kinect 2.0 and all -- take a look at the video itself embedded after the break.

The smoothness of the multitasking is really impressive to me.
All those plain green tiles is ugly though. Once the live tiles are populated with different things it should pretty it up a little at least.

Sexy looking UI right there. Can't wait to pin crap to my home screen instead of digging for it or waiting for the brutal load times on my 360 to find stuff. It seriously takes between 3-4 minutes just to access my storage device on my 360 right now...terrible.
I love all the predictably stupid comments about this being a MS leaked video, how ugly the dash looks and how it will be full of ads. MS would just release a legit video, not some shitty YouTube video with a kid saying "Bing is garbage" in it. They have already put out like 100 short clips. There also will not be any ads on the home screen.

Mirror of the video from a few posts up: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x14...one_videogames
Looks a lot better (i.e. polished) than my experience with the XDK from the GameStop Expo.
