Good deal, are you free on Wednesday evening at 7PM central?

I should be. I call Seahawks!

Let's plan on 7PM central as the start time for the game. We can meet online a few minutes before to make sure everything is working right and ready to go.

Is madden worth $40? I don't want to waste my money on a shitty port.

It's not much different than the PS3/360 versions. If you already have it for those it's not worth an upgrade but if you don't have it then it definitely is.

I don't. I haven't played madden since 2012 actually.

I would say that the next gen versions are markedly improved over the PS3/360 versions. That seems to be the consensus in the community.

I got it. I should have it by Thursday, so if I can tear myself away from BF, I'll try.

I thought that thing was a giant failure (aka, didn't make M$ tons of money)? I wonder why they're giving it another go?

It would get people to buy the Xbox.

I really doubt that. The average consumer will have no idea what that is. That thing is more something that you discover after already owning the console.

This is what cracks me up about MS

Albert Penello coming out defending Xbox after those Tomb Raider articles surfaced comparing the two versions, saying, "It's not a big deal... differences aren't that much, blah blah blah


Then we see this:


Reported Xbox One Patch Expected to Improve Graphical Performance

Microsoft is reportedly looking to improve the Xbox One's graphical performance in an upcoming patch. According to Hot Hardware, gaming insider Pete Doss has stated that Microsoft will relax GPU requirements for Kinect in order to achieve such results. As it is now, the Xbox One reserves 10 percent of its total GPU power for the Kinect, with 8 percent alone required for video processing. The alleged patch will purportedly free up that 8 percent for use in actual gameplay, leaving the remaining 2 percent for the peripheral's voice input processing.

The Xbox One's graphical capabilities recently underwent some scrutiny, with Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition performing better on the PlayStation 4. For a game like Tomb Raider, the reported patch could theoretically allow the Xbox One to produce a more steady frame rate around 30 FPS, instead of varying dramatically throughout gameplay.

The update, however, is not expected to bring Microsoft's console on par with the PlayStation 4, which can consistently display Lara Croft on her new adventure at 60 FPS. While there still may be a difference in overall performance, the human eye is more likely to be bothered by fluctuating frame rates than by a steady stream of fewer frames per second.

The Kinect for Xbox One has been a highly touted feature for the brand new console, although few high-profile games have taken full advantage of the hardware. If Microsoft rolls out the reported patch, developers could utilize more of the console's GPU power, instead of leaving resources for an attachment that they don't intend to use.

Of course he's going to defend it. He's a M$ talking head...and also a clown dick.

FIFA 14 and NFS: Rivals 50% off on demand this week.

What is the size of the update? Doesn't the XBone auto-download them?

When I downloaded the update it took me about 20-30 minutes to fully download. It's really starting to tick me off.

Xbox One update arriving in March, white XB1 later this year

Microsoft is preparing to release its first major Xbox One dashboard update in March. Sources familiar with the plans have revealed to The Verge that the update will focus on fixing a number of issues with the Xbox Live service on the console, alongside other system fixes. Party-chat problems and issues with the usability and placement of social features of Xbox Live will be improved with the update. The update timing was first revealed by a forum poster at NeoGAF, and The Verge has verified it separately.

The anonymous forum poster also claims Microsoft will release a white version of its Xbox One console in October alongside the launch of Sunset Overdrive. A 1TB version of the Xbox One is rumored for release a month later in November. The Verge can confirm Microsoft is indeed planning to release its white employee-only Xbox One this year. Other rumors shared by the anonymous forum poster include the possibility of an Xbox One without a Blu-ray drive, a Bluetooth adapter, and launch dates for the console worldwide. While it's unclear if a disc-less Xbox One will make it to market, The Verge can also confirm Microsoft has been testing versions of its console without a Blu-ray drive.

Microsoft is said to be releasing Xbox One in April in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Russia, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Colombia, Chile, and Argentina. An October launch of Xbox One is also rumored to follow in China, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Greece, Portugal, Slovakia, Turkey, Saudia Arabia, South Africa, United Arab Emirates, Israel, India, Indonesia, and Egypt.

We’ve reached out to Microsoft for comment on all the Xbox One rumors, and we’ll update you accordingly.
