Crimson Dragon and Halo assure an Xbox One in our home at some point.

Crimson Dragon: Side Story is fantastic on Windows Phone, but the devs broke some 1st party policies in a patch and completely screwed hardcore gamers. The update forced me to spend $25 to unlock all the skills and earn my final achievement when it was possible to do without spending money before the update. I sent numerous messages to the developers with no response about it, and Microsoft refused to acknowledge it. I wasn't about to drop a game I spent 6 months playing because of an update.

Controller looks great.  Can't wait to hold one.  I know it's not a big deal for you non-PC guys, but the fact the plugging in the usb cable makes it a wired controller that will be PC compatible when the drivers come out early next year is a very big deal for me.  I'm also super excited about trigger feedback.

USB cable thing existed for the original Xbox 360 Controller. Triggers will be fun though.

No it didn't, the play and charge kit was for power only, not data.  The PC would go as far as recognizing that you plugged a play and charge kit cable into it, but without the wireless receiver, you couldn't use it as a controller for PC games.

Mine worked - the wireless receiver wasn't needed. Then again, I don't know if that was because I doctored with the drivers at all.

The controller looks fantastic.  I'd love to play a game with those triggers.

I dug through tons of forums a while back to find a way to get it to work and I never found anyone who figured it out.  If you did, then you are a mad scientist (which isn't out of the question).  Some folks said that the play and charge connector had 7 pins, the same as the number of connections on the wired controller so there's no reason it shouldn't work.  MS has always maintained that the play and charge only provides power.  Some have said that if you disabled/removed the rf board in the controller, it might work, but that's not a reasonable thing to ask your average customer to do.

Xbox One controller-plug any micro USB cable from the controller to the PC and it works-sounds much more realistic to me.

Should you reside in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Sweden, or Switzerland you'll be affected by the news. The console will now launch in 13 countries in November: Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Spain, United Kingdom, US, and New Zealand.

It's a shame for those territories, I hope they give em a good pack in game.

Wait.

Looks like you unfortunately fell off the boat because of localization for Dutch. Blame the King.

Lol, our King's family is actually French (speaking), so they probably don't give a damn about about Dutch localizations, ha! Dutch vs French is the big cause of tension in Belgium, and why it'll probably, eventually split up.

Is the One even going to launch in Japan considering the appalling sales there since 2002?

Right now, it's not scheduled to launch in Japan.
