Considering I've got a collection of several hundred CEs and a room dedicated to displaying them... I highly doubt that.

I don't know... I was pretty happy that I pre-ordered my Collector's Edition of Armored Core Verdict Day consider they only made 250 of them TOTAL... you wont see that game on any discount racks EVER.

Pre-Orders make sense for:

you mean like CaveQuake

Right, but I'm also buying an XB1 because I'm a huge fan of Killer Instinct, Forza and Dead Rising. Microsoft is releasing exclusive games at launch that make buying their console a very easy decision for me.

What exclusives come out in February?

Normally I would have done that, and have done that in the past but looking at pre-order prices on eBay (which are usually HIGHER than the post-release prices) there's only about $150 mark up over MSRP and shipping, eBay fees and PayPal fees all come out of that. so maybe I'd earn enough to buy a game or two... not…

PS3, 360, and PC

I just canceled my PS4 pre-order earlier today because the games just aren't there yet and I'd rather spend my money on other things... (The look on the clerk's face was pure disbelief).

The three games reviewed

Killzone - looks nice but is pretty mediocre and tired for an FPS
Knack - looks nice but is pretty mediocre…

I would suspect that since you can run a browser in the side bar we will eventually see web-sites pop up specifically designed to accompany various XB1 games.

I know I think it would be great to have achievement info on the side bar to help with collectables and other achievements that might require a guide.

Technically you could do that with SNAP, you could play Xbox One while you play something else on a different console in the sidebar.

That actually gives me an idea. I could totally finish up all of the gold medal wins in old 360 Forza games by hiring a driver to race for me while I play new games on the XB1.

I'm a big achievement junkie and I typically have sites like http://trueachievements.com open on my phone while I'm gaming so I can quickly look up achievement info for the game I'm playing.... the ability to have that open on the screen while I'm playing is just awesome for me.

I also know lots of people who are not…

I'm glad someone else posted this... both AWESOME sites... I was a beta member of TA as well as TT... it's pretty rare that I sit down to play and don't have one of them open on my phone or tablet just for stat tracking.

I think the difference is that kickstarter is different than normal purchases. Normal purchases generally get shipped out within a few days of the transaction and have an associated tracking number; you're buying a product.

Kickstarter transactions on the other hand are processed like donations and there is no real way…

I kinda want one more than a PS4.

You're wrong and here's proof... Looking back at all the articles related to the PS4 or XB1 since the beginning of the month. the PS4 has had more dedicated articles almost all of which were either positive or simply informative. Meanwhile not only did the XB1 have fewer articles about 1/3rd of the Xbox One articles…

The only self-moderated comment system I've seen on ANY website that works properly is slashdot.org. If you're unfamiliar with this form of moderation then go here: http://slashdot.org/moderation.sht…

Honestly, everyone on the internet should just use that moderation system and be done with it.

Yeah, I got to play Drive Club at the GameStop expo also and it wasn't bad but the whole social aspect stuff was pretty much exactly what Forza 4 was already doing with it's in-game car clubs. It seemed like a pretty typical racer other than that. Hopefully with it being pushed back they'll add something more to it to…

I have a home theater room where I play my games and it's very dark due to the fact that I game on a projector, so far the only camera accessory that seems to work in that environment is Kinect, and only the motion features work since they're IR based. The older Xbox and PS cameras never worked at all due to the very…

I have both a PS4 and an XB1 pre-ordered. I'm a big fan of Forza, Killer Instinct and Dead Rising so buying a launch day XB1 is a no-brainer for me. Not to mention most of my friends ONLY play on Xbox so generally speaking any multiplayer games I buy will be for that console because playing with my friends is more…
