Re: Xbox One

Thanks it took a lot to make me get rid of Windows 7 Ultimate, but I'm happy with Windows 10 and learning new things daily also being a part of Preview Program since 360...really allows me to help put the news out there for all the doubters.

Loving the combination and interaction of Xbox One to Windows 10 OS...great job.

The one question that I have is concerning the use of a controller. In your video, you mentioned that you had to connect your Xbox One controller to your PC to play while streaming. Are you limited to the Xbox One controller or could you use another controller such as one originally designed for the Xbox 360 that works flawlessly on the PC? The reason I ask is that I've been using a Razer Sabertooth for PC games and would the opportunity to use it for Xbox One games (especially button remapping).

Only two controllers work the Xbox one and the Xbox 360 windows controllers work with Xbox One streaming..and soon Xbox 360 streaming on the one with backwards compatibility.

Re: Xbox One

The streaming to PC isn't terrible but there is a slight but noticeable input delay.

Think it's something I'd use once in a blue moon, but it's definitely not a bad feature to have.

Re: Xbox One

Now they need to pull off streaming to Xbox...

I've got a Steam Stick ordered just to tinker with that.

Yeah, that would be cool....sometimes there are games on PC I'd enjoy playing, and my older PC can do most of the not as hardcore graphics games. Big games tend to be on Xbox One all ready, but hoping for stuff like DayZ or whatever, having that option....

Not sure how much I'd take advantage of it, but it'd be cool. I'd start worrying about quality of my PC, but for the few random games (like No Man Sky) it could work...


I have 2 Ones, but i can see using the streaming in the future more as well...Xbox to PC lets you play everywhere...

I've had my Xbox1 since launch, but this is a phenomenal deal! You basically get 11 games, can't beat that anyway you try!

This is a huge deal right here....I can assure people that XBOX One will win NPD for August...The fact that you get 1tb and the game plus a full year of ea access? WOW

Home Run for XBOX for sure....

There were better bundles than this one in June. Xbox One Halo: MCC with Unity, a $50 Microsoft Store gift card and a FREE game of your choice. Come on, this Madden deal doesn't even come close. If you're an EA fan (im not), then this is probably the deal for you but if not, past deals from just a month ago were better.

As for NPD, yeah im guessing Xbox One wins in August but mainly due to the Gears of War bundle but this should help them win their second month of the year.

Daniel:

You mentioned you're not a fan of EA, so maybe I am answering my own question, but you get a year of EA Access, which is Instantly 10 games (all genres), plus Madden 2016. I'm not sure how MCC bundle competes with that.

First, can you list those ten games?

Second, all of the games included are via digital download (which is how Microsoft is trying to get consumers hooked on digital for the future but that's another story for another day) which have no monetary value whatsoever. While I don't know the list of the games, im pretty sure that the majority of them are either sports games or older titles that you could probably buy used from GameStop for cheap, finish them in six days and return it for a refund.

Third, Unity was disc based as was the FREE game AND you get a $50 coupon for the MS store. If you were able to snag Batman or The Witcher 3 as the free game, you came out ahead. Add in the $50 MS store coupon and that's basically another free game.

Sports games lose their value more than any other genre simply because they come out every year. There may be a lot of Forza fans or MLB fans but let's be honest, are you really going to buy a console for any type of sports / racing game when you know that a new one is a year away?

Unless you're an EA and/or Madden fan, there will be better bundles come October and November.

Wrong as usual:

Madden is a huge title regardless of the hate it gets. XBOX new owners will get it free with 1tb hard drive new controller and free ea access for a full year...The games on there are not the point as you also get discount on full retail and dlc....

Halo MCC with Unity and a gift card is not even close...

Gears will be big but that is 500gb which is not even close to 1tb and madden and ea access

I know you like to throw dirt on xbox and is funny since you dont even own one so what gives?

2nd. For free, ($29) value, you get a chance to play these other games. For the price of buying your Xbox you get access to a Swarm of other games.

Madden is huge because there's no other football game with the NFL license, not because it's a good game. Quality wise, Madden NFL 2005 was better. Eleven years later and so much stuff is STILL missing. Mini camp was one of the best features they ever had and it's still nowhere to be found.

I'll admit I buy Madden but that's because I get 20% off, a $10 cert and after playing it for a few days, it gets traded in to where I actually make a profit off of it. Sadly, Madden isn't worth anything because it's a minimal update every year. If any franchise needs to skip a year and be completely redone, it's Madden.

It was Xbox One Halo: MCC bundle WITH a free disc based copy of Unity, a FREE game of YOUR choice AND a $50 coupon to the Microsoft Store. All of that is worth more than Madden and EA Access.

As for the discounts, that's just for digital which ends up costing the consumer/user more money as opposed to if they just buy the game on disc at Best Buy. Seriously, if you buy digitally and you end up not liking or enjoying the game or it's a bug and glitch filled disaster, you're out $60. That's not a good deal.

As for the hard drive, I can see 1TB being a major factor but ONLY if you're a digital buyer like yourself. Otherwise, you're most likely never even going to need half of that space.

As for Gears, im pretty sure it's a themed console which increases it's value but correct me if im wrong on that which I may be.

I'm NOT throwing dirt on Xbox One at all. I'm simply saying the deal that Microsoft had in June was BETTER than the Madden 16 bundle. Unless you're an EA and/or Madden fan, I really don't see how anyone can look at the Madden 16 bundle as being a better value than the one that Microsoft had a few weeks ago.
