Actually the game looks like shit. The trailer on the other hand is kind of clever. An 8 bit online soccer sim won't hold anyone's interest even for free

That Funk of the Titans game does look promising though. Wish we were getting that one for free instead.

Finished up Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition tonight while waiting for the Halo 5 beta to download. That was a nice little freebie.

I also noticed that the XB1 is back up to full price. I was a little surprised by that, but I bet we see a permanent price drop by E3.

I think they made their point and won the holiday season. We'll see how the NPDs look over the next couple of months. But, a permanent price drop before or at E3 seems inevitable.

Yeah they sure made their point : Slash the cost of the system like crazy and bundle it with extra games and more people will buy it during the holiday season. Funny how that works.

See that Styx is $12 with Gold this week. Game looks kinda interesting : got some mixed but some good reviews. I'm tempted...

Styx looks like a game that'll be free eventually. I would wait.

Emmy award-winning XBox One.

http://news.xbox.com/2015/01/xbox-one-emmy-award

Last night marked the 66th Annual Technology & Engineering Emmy Awards, which was be presented by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada as part of the currently ongoing Consumer Electronics Show.

This year’s ceremony featured some especially great news for Xbox One: Microsoft will receive an Emmy Award for Television Enhancement Devices, thanks to the Xbox One’s industry-leading television-on-demand and media center capabilities. Microsoft is in good company with the likes of fellow award recipients Apple, Roku, Sony, and TiVo – and we’re proud to be awarded this honor by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.

I set up my new system, but shopping for games with Xbox credits is kind of a bummer when everything is priced $10 above physical discs.

Buy games on disc at Best Buy using GCU. Use Xbox credits for DLC.

This is the correct approach. Though, I'd include download-only titles with DLC.

Please do. If only to help a culture's storytelling live in a new medium.

I ended up getting it. Only played for a little bit, but I really like the cultural insights thing.

Thanks! Yeah, the only thing I've bought so far is the Telltale Game of Thrones ep 1.

February update is out for preview members. Transparent home screen tiles, a game hub for every game, and some TV stuff. They also made the achievement tiles in the app smaller, so it's less of a hassle to scroll through them.
