Sweet!! When I bought my xbone I traded in my 360 and all like 10 games I had. Kinda did regret trading in all of them. There are a few I miss playing and want to play again. This is great news.

I have never played any of the fallout games and since I don't have my 360 anymore I was always kinda wondering if I would ever play them. I'm freaking excited about this now.

Sounds like your old xbox live arcade purchases will be available too as long as the devs ok it

Will the 360 games I got through Games With Gold be available? Technically I own them.

What are the good 360 games?

Forza, Fable, Gears of War, Halo are the exclusive franchises.

I guess Red Dead Redemption if you didn't have a PS3, I don't think that got a PC port.

This does not bode well for my attempts to go more than 3 months without playing a Mass Effect game.

WTF at $150

Decent conference for the Xbox this year, no doubt.

Good question. Does any one know anything about this?

Not surprised. Close to the costs of the scuff controllers

+1 - the waffles tho.

If that controller is as good as it looks then I won't mind the $150 bill.

Anyone played elite dangerous or long dark yet? Downloading both demos now, Curious to hear others thoughts

I've just looked at a few hundred posts comparing XB1 and PS4 and still can't decide which to get.

Have Xbox 360 so there is some sentimental value urging me to get XB1 but it looks like over here in India#23204 PS4 games are far more readily available.

Is the overall game selection better in XB1?

Which one has better performance?

**** me i am just so torn between what to get

The PS4 has undoubtedly better performance (same CPU, superior GPU, superior RAM). Both however are fairly close - in the majority of cases, the average person would be hard pressed to spot the difference

Game selection is "different", "better" is a matter of taste. PS4 has the larger library, though you won't be playing Halo 5 if you get a PS4, likewise you won't be playing Uncharted 4 on an Xbox. Nearly all 3rd party games are available on both. There are some marketing deals in favor of each... If you like Destiny, Call of Duty - go PS4. If you want Rise of the Tomb Raider, Xbox. Do research here if you are interested in a particular 3rd party franchise.

As a 360 owner the just-announced backwards compatibility may be awesome for you. Or pointless, if you intend to keep the 360 hooked up / don't want to play bad looking old games any more.

In India, I should imagine for both consoles you should create a USA account and purchase digital from the USA stores, making availability of retail discs irrelevant. Honestly I'm not sure of this though, but it should be looked in to.

great post, thanks!

When I decided on xb1 I did it mainly for 2 reasons:

1. My brother who I play the most with, already had an xb1.

2. The ps3 controller always seemed uncomfortable. After a few hours my pinky and ring fingers would get numb and my bottom thumb joints would get stiff and sore.

So my suggestion if it's possible is to try out both and see how the controller feels in your hand. The xb1 controller is even more comfortable than the 360 for me, however the ps4 has more exclusives I'd like to play.

My decision was based entirely on what my mates had/were getting...

Unless the xbox was absolute dog poop, I was always going to end up getting it..

My biggest decision maker for all future consoles will probably be this too..

Unless there is a game changer, like the rift for example

Just noticed assassins creed black flag is free with gold. Too bad I already own it. Is this the first xbone game we can download for free with gold? Looking forward to more

They've had free games with gold since the xbone launch

Usually one per month, but a couple times two.

July is the beginning of 2 per month, on a regular basis, for the One according to their home screen promo.

I think this is the first AAA release they've had on XB1 though (unless you count Rayman Legends).

I know.

I meant like a big title or an actual xbone game that was for sale for full price when it was released. Not like a free pool game or whatever
