That's all part of the excitement!

Even more exciting are the ones we have seen/heard nothing of.

[Adam Stone]

So what's the difference between this thread and the Xbox One thread? I'm confused!

The same difference between the PS4 thread and the PS4 Key features thread....

[Adam Stone]

I dont check every thread, so dont know the differences. A little summary would be very welcome indeedy.

Also no idea why discussion of key features of a console should be seperate from a console thread itself... But okay! :-)

Adam, as someone who works for a games studio and obviously paid by them, how do you feel about the used game fee scenario? Do you have different opinions as a gamer and as a professional?

I guess you better answer on the link below but I thought I'd ask whilst you were active within a thread.

Can't believe Boris forgot to put the new Lionhead game on there.

What's all this then??? Going to hatch on E3?


A chicken game from Lionhead?
You get to run around as a chicken extracting revenge for being kicked so many times.

Yay, more Xbone! This must be the (alternative) love-in thread?

[Golgo]

Gotta admire the way all that gorgeous hardware in EB's pictures just floats...that's some serious power, there.

[EvilBoris]

That's the power of the cloud, which also grants the Xbone infinite CPU power.
Thanks Microsoft

Puh-RAISE Be, Brother Boris!

First clear picture of the system I've seen. Ugly.

What does this mean exactly? - "Internet Connection Required (24 hours check in for games)"

You need an internet connection, You have to connect at least once every 24 hours (you don't need to remain online in between)

[Colin]

What's the reason for having to log in once a day though? And what happens if you miss a day? (Or several?)
