I knew Decker would love this one!
Now we just need a goddamn motherfucking Kinect extension cable.
I really like this idea. I mean... I'll probably never do this myself, since most of the people I game with are not local, but this is a great option for teens (when I was a kid, we always brought a bag full of games to friends' houses), especially if they own a lot of digital titles or if their friends have slow internet connections.

Microsoft is suggesting that people take their drives to their friend's house to then use their games there, though they say that doing that will require that the person with the drive either sign into Xbox Live to confirm their ownership of any game they had bought via download or insert a disc to confirm they own the game.

A couple times for me, my buddy and I would rent the NeoGeo and a couple games from our local video store and play all weekend.

What's interesting about the external hard drive, as per Major Nelson's video, is the fact that it becomes the default hard drive for the Xbox One and when it fills up is when it begins to place items on the internal drive.

They changed the game to a Free to Play model. Each course is $5.99 now, even the ones that were originally included, so the full game has actually increased in price.

Is there more content now available for those who already own the full game?

There's a new DLC course (Coyote Canyon) that is supposed to be free for those who previously bought the full game. I didn't buy it, so I can't confirm for sure.
EDIT: Actually, if I'm reading it right the new DLC course is free for everyone. It's the one course you get for free if you download the now-free version of the game, but the 4 original courses are $5.99 each.

Will just wait until they possibly offer some of the courses as free during a free games with gold promotion. There are only so many games out right now for the system so only have a limited library to pull from.
Edit: Moviepage's post just popped up for me, if that is true will for sure just download now then and just wait until the other courses get discounted like 75% as I can see happen down the road.

Metro Redux is also on this console, despite all the news being in the PS4 thread. 900p though, so why bother?

They're finally offering an Upgrade for Killer Instinct for people who bought the $20 Combo Breaker upgrade previously (or got it free) to get the Ultimate Edition for an additional $20. Up until now, the only option for those folks was to cough up another $40 and re-buy everything again, which was idiotic.

Speaking of, that KI code MS sent out to certain folks expires on 6/30. I was going to post mine but it says it's only redeemable by the email account holder it was sent to and non-transferrable. No X1 and zero interest in KI, but redeemed it anyway.

It's actually redeemable for anyone. I'm still pissed I didn't get one after ten years of Live Gold membership and hundreds of dollars spent on XBLA and DLC
