But they more than quadrupled their units sold last week





























in Japan, due to Halo MCC bundle I think (although there was also the CoD TeraBone). They only released CoD with subtitles so far, the dubbed version is in a few weeks I think and is Playstation-exclusive

I'm tempted to buy them too, heard they are decent. May stump up more and buy those more expensive third party ones though :shrug:

I've had two pairs of those $60 360 turtlebeaches break in the same way at the pivot points, and the new ones for xbone have the same structural design, so stay clear of those

It looks pretty good to me, I will buy it after halo and gta 5 or Santa might bring it. :3:

Far cry 3 didn't really hold my attention for more than a couple of weeks though.

Exactly the same. Worried it might happen again, map looks enormous from what I've seen but it doesn't look like to much is going on in it. Could just be watching streams at boring times though.

I didn't know the bone controller could transmit game sounds. :koos:

These are good, buy them. They sound good, come with the chat adapter, are very comfy and don't feel like they are going to crush my skull.

It's really good. So far hasn't seemed to stray gameplay wise TOO far from what made Far Cry 3 awesome, but that's probably not a bad thing, seeing how good Far Cry 3 was.

it's hilarious how spergy people get in racing games when you dont race how they want you to. when i went to play gt6 online all the rooms were like "100% CLEAN NO BUMPING OR I WILL SCREAM AND KICK YOU OUT AND CRY LATER ON A LITTLE"

Lame. That's the only way I play racing games. I speed into the turn, and oversteer a little so I get inside and bounce off the guys ahead of me that all slowed down for the turn. Then, I slam on the gas and bam, I'm in the lead, and with any luck I sent a few people into a wall or something.

Forgive me for bringing up the console with the good Halos on it again, but we crossed a significant milestone with the 360 yesterday, as I think there are officially no more announced games coming out for it that won't have at least a Bone version.

Didn't an MS spokesman literally say that people aren't buying the bone because they like their 360 too much. Like, as an excuse to explain why the PS4 is crushing the bone in sales? I distinctly remember the unspoken implication that the bone is feature-wise a major step back, and not enough of a graphical leap forward.

Either jump in or get pushed I suppose.

bought them, and they seem pretty nice so far. Comfortable and tight but not head crushing. sturdier than my turtle beach x12s, with better sound. you can tuck away the mic so you can use them for watching movies or stuff. not bad for being cheaper and coming with the headset adapter. I wonder how the battery life will be though, since it plugs into the controller which runs on batteries. It's really nice to have the controller and headset wireless though, the turtlebeaches were always a mess with cables.

To clarify, there will be other 360 games (e.g. Battlefield: Hardline, the next 10 years of FIFA games and 12 of Call of Duty), it's just they will also have editions for the newer consoles.

I have my bone connected to a projector with no speakers so I do 100% of my boning through headphones. The batteries still last forever, but I am part of the eneloop master race.

I used the Duracell batteries that came with my new Xbox and even they lasted around 18 hours of playtime.

I agree, but I think the 360/bone controller is still 90% dualshock with a lot of ergonomic tweaks. I was hoping someone was about to come out swinging for the honor of the Saturn Analog controller or something.

I have a Saturn now that I don't play, but I did borrow someones Saturn when I was a wee lad and played alot of Daytona and Christmas NiGHTS. I recall desperately wanting one so I could play that capcom X-Men fighting game at home.
