Maplin in the UK are selling the Xbox One for £350 and the FIFA 14 bundle for £380 http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/microsoft-xbox-one-500-gb-games-console-a29lz

I butchered the headset that came with my Xbox One and made my own adapter by attaching a 2.5mm female jack that my turtle beach chat cable plugs into. Works perfectly :)

Guess not, even if you're not (for some surprising reason having loved the beta) interested in Titanfall, you wait until then and get the game for free and eBay the code. Of course making sure the code is sold within your region ;P

http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/feb/24/xbox-one-gets-price-cut-to-399-with-free-copy-of-titanfall Price cut in the UK from 28th Feb to £399.99 (previously £430), then from 14th March, for a limited time, it will include Titanfall for free.

Apparently the 1.6ms figure was given to Gamingbolt directly, along with the spec of the PC they were benchmarking. I asked them about the numbers and they are hoping to go into more detail as to the reasons the numbers come out like that in a planned interview with RAD.

Yes I saw that. What I don't understand is how the PS4 CPU could increase it's GPU result by 0.7 ms, while the X1 CPU doesn't impact the GPU result at all.

The article from Gamingbolt really doesn't make much sense at all. The PC CPU benchmark time is 4ms, PS4/X1 CPU result is 11ms. http://www.radgametools.com/bnkmain.htm Reading the rest of the updated article from Gamingbolt: "PC (2.8Ghz Core i5 with 4 cores and AMD R9 290x): CPU: 1.3 ms...

Look back at the NPD numbers for 2007, the Xbox 360 was pretty close to outselling the Playstation 3 by 2-1 in the US for the entire year and just look where the Playstation 3 is now. I know there are other factors to consider, but my point is we are only 4 months into the lives of both...

Along with the fact Forza 5 is running at 1080p AND 60fps. So not only is it possible to fit a 1080p image in the framebuffer, it is also possible to move it in and out quick enough to achieve 60fps. It does seem from interviews that Turn 10 may have had more time with the hardware than any...

Oh no, I don't believe this for a second. I work in the Visual FX industry which experiences very similar leaks and rumours, so I've seen first hand how different the truth can actually be.

Rumour, speculation and internet chatter. There is an article on Eurogamer right now which opens with the following: "It's panic stations at Microsoft, apparently. Playstation 4 is wiping the floor with the Xbox One, the new console is a sales disappointment"

Completely agree with this statement. I enjoyed the first Kinect and see value in Kinect 2 so it was a contributing factor in my choice of purchase. The other was what system my friends were getting. No point in buying console A if all my friends are getting console B. I have never understood...

I have a few friends who despite telling them this still buy directly on their credit card. One just renewed Live, as well bought BF4 and BF4 Premium for full price.

There are indirect ways of making savings when going digital. Just before launch I topped my Live account up with codes bought from sites such as cdkeys as well as eBay. At the time you could get £50 xbox gift cards for about £42. On eBay I got a £50 gift cards for £36, as well as £20 gift...
