That said, they should release Rifftrax DLC for every game. Speaking of shlocky horror worthy of Mike Nelson (the other Major Nelson), ordered Dead Rising 3 Apocalypse Edition on Crushed Black Friday and received it today. The back says "155 MB download required" for the DLC which I hope means the disc is pre-patched. univbee fucked around with this message at 19:15 on Dec 1, 2014 |

I'd buy one at that price point, since if it ever happened it would be next Christmas and the PS4 will still be sold above that price ant $150 is just cheap enough for me not to worry about it having par performance. Actually though I'd probably get a Wii U.

The Day One edition is back in stock at Amazon.ca. It is Cyber Monday and this is the last time that price will be this low again. I'd help push up the bone just a lil' on tomorrow's Post-Black Friday amazon sales chart roundup... Hmm.

Black Xbone + Kinect & rear end Cred Bundle and a free GTA5 (which I havent played) is $508 at Amazon.ca after taxes, enviro fee and free shipping. Are there any better deals on right now for Canada? I presume I could get the MCC for dirt cheap used or bundled with a future corporate apology.

They just need to keep the price a little lower than the PS4, as we've seen with the black friday sales slaughter. The xbox already has much better games, a more solid controller that doesn't fall apart when touched, and online multiplayer (for all games except MCC). The real troubles will come when Sony default on their loans next year and Amazon buy the PS4, then we could see some real price wars! I'd buy a PS4 for £100 if it came bundled with some analog stick covers and bloodbourne (if that turns out to be good) . Fingers crossed!

They finally make a follow up to Seaman that works with the Kinect and is integrated into the OS - so it actively insults you and hijacks the voice commands, as well as riffing on games you are playing (DLC required).

There have been some crazy Xbone deals in the UK over the weekend. Anyone in the market for one would have been able to get themselves a hell of a deal. They were selling the standalone unbundled console for £270 earlier today, that works out at a full £160 (around $250) price drop from the launch price. That's sans-kinect of course, but if anything removing that thing added value. Anyone who bought day one was well and truly shafted.

There are no new batch fixed xbone pads at all, they haven't even said about fixing it. Seeing as one of the big issues is stick drift, which persisted throughout the entire 360 lifetime, I doubt they'll ever be fixed.

They were selling the PS4 with Driveclub for 279 ( I think they still are at tesco) so that's effectively cheaper than a stand alone xbone at 270. That's assuming you believe driveclub is worth 9 pounds or more which I concede is very debatable. The PS4 deals were much better in the UK, amazon had bones and PS4's for 299. With the PS4 you got TLOU and LBP3, with the bone you got Unity and Blackflag. Blackflag is worth around £7 now. Anyone who bought a PS4 day one was well and truly shafted, plus their analogue sticks most likely look like Hulk Hogans elbows by now

Would like to give a shout out to X "Da Big Box" Box One for causing Mayhem at From Software. Only the power of Microsoft could cause a massive delay in the Dark Souls 2 because the Overlay is causing seriously crippling issues and they might have to push back the PS4 and PS3 release of it. And the Dark Souls 2 revamp fixes all the issues that people had with the game but only the power of Xbox could give it one more.
