And if you buy games on disk, it is easy enough to delete a disk game you havent played in a while, then delete something else and reinstall a disk.

    Kinect - I love it for switching apps/games, and tv. and needed for xbox fitness of course. I would recommend it because it is a nice feature and really brings out the full use of the system. if you plan on having your tv running through, want the novelty of easy switching, or plan on actually using the kinect for games such as xbox fitness then it is a definite need. They will retail for 150 when available, so if you get it packaged in the 499 console you would save yourself 50 bucks. Or you can get a 399 console and find one on ebay for under 100 probably, but who knows how much that will rise once the retail kinects are available.

    and on the external, yeah they dont void the warranty. You can find 1tb or some 2tb for under $100 to add on to the internal 500gb if you go that route.



    I want to for the ease of access especially because i dont trade in games other than old sports games, however i still have gcu at best buy and hard to ignore the 20% off. If only MS went to their original plan where you dont need disks in the system to play the game, yet could still trade them in at authorized retailers...
    I wish I could buy some digital at best buy....the gcu is too much of a deal, along with trade ins. Really wish gamers embraced the digital trade in stuff MS wanted to do but they were whiny...oh well

      Re: Xbox One

      There is still a solid argument for not going digital. If you are done with a game, specifically sports games, those are still worth something in trade. So maybe by the time you are done with Madden, you can put it towards another title.

      However, if you can put aside the money and be done with the initial purchase, the benefit of digital is there on the One. I think there should be more incentive with the initial purchase. They get slack, but if you look at the entirety of EA Access, they reward you for going digital. I got to play Madden early and had %10 off the final purchase. I also have access to their vault, and while it is shallow now, it will get better.

      But as others have said, the best part is the Xbox One experience of going to games on the fly and not dealing with the disc.
      Being kind, one to another, never disappoints.

              the thing is it is no different from a disk install. you install the entire disk and you only need it in to verify you own/have the game. You can install from the disk, sell it, then buy digital (with no downloading needed) and it plays just the same. That's how it worked for me with FIFA 14 (installed from disk, sold it but now play it without the disk due to ea access) and madden 15 the opposite (downloaded it for the trial, was able to play with the disk inserted and no install needed.)

                That happens with the disc too. I have the disc and it's happened to me a few times.

                          Warframe is now available on Xbox One.

                          Have it on PS4, but will probably download it on Xbox One and play it there instead. I find my games I have for both I end up playing more on the One because it's always on and just have to grab a controller.

                            Alright, looking for a little Xbox One advice. Thinking about buying a bundle either at or shortly after Christmas time. Only thing holding me back for now is trying to convincing the lady the Xbox One would be a great addition to the living room. She has a thing against video game consoles in there. But I think I can eventually break her down with all the media options available for Xbox One. We are in need if a Netflix streaming machine and Blu Ray player upgrade in the anyways.

                            Of course if I do buy one I will be in the market for a gaming headset. Which is the best one on the market currently? I'm trying to price out how much dough I can expect the drop on everything.

                                We have a 6 month old and love it. It's great to tell the tv to mute, change to HGTV, pause, go to Netflix and have it listen. We also use the skype a ton too. She talks to her sisters and mom with the baby and it's all integrated on the big tv rather than a PC or tablet. I ended up getting a 2nd for the bedroom, also so I could game even if she wants to watch tv. I only wanted 1 console this gen, won't afford/have time for a PS4 as well.

                                Not too much help on headsets. I have a 1st gen PX5 I use, and also got the headset adapter that lets me use a wired PC headset (with a separate mic/sound to 3.5mm adapter) as well. Do you have any headsets currently?
