Yeah, I cancelled my shyt on there after I saw them charging taxes. fukk that. Still about going through hoops to cancel that shyt too.

Back in the day trying to remove you credit card from your xbox account was hell, it would take like a 3 hr call to india, shyt was

I think the good reviews come from the perspective of a ps3 comparison. It is leaps and bounds better than it, but lets be real no matter how much you sony stans say otherwise the ps3 controller was trash. Just by adding real triggers, it improved it greatly, but it's not better that the xbox controller still IMO.

They made a controller that doesnt suck, and you are going to sing it's praises when you use it mainly because of how much the the ps3 controller sucked.

I personally have no problem with the DS3, but for the DS4 to get glowing reviews so far (better than the XB1 controller I might add), they doing something right. But again, they did solicit the input of FPS Game devs in creating the DS4, so obviously it's paying dividends.

Better reviews or there are really people out there who say its better?

Nobody is going wild over the one controller because the 360 was already a good controller. like I said when I used the ps4 controller you immediately realize it doesnt suck like the last one, with the one controller its not much to improve on it.

Many reviewers/devs who shytTED on the DS3 LOVE the new DS4. You can look at the size compared to the XB1 controller and see it. Redesigned to better play FPS's while maintaining their DPad, improving the analog sticks, fixing the triggers, and the touchpad.

Def agree on them wanting to keep my 500 dollars though. They sure fukkin acted like it.

I have already use both controllers, spent more time on the xbox tho because sony only had driveclub, octodad, and knack to play. The DS4 is not better tho, I wouldnt wine all the time while playing with it like I do now on ps3, but like I said it is wayyy better than before, so I understand the hype, but its not being hyped anywhere as being better than the X1's

Its better for FPS because it has trigger like the 360 has had like I mentioned earlier (that in itself is big for me). The hype is from the great improvements over the DS3, if the DS3 wasn't so bad like xbox peeps has been saying for years then this hype wouldnt be there. if you spent quality time with the 360 controller then the DS4 is just w/e if you have been on ps3 this last gen you will fall in love(because of the similarities to the 360 controller(even tho most stans say they like DS3 better)). like I said it speaks more to the trashiness of the DS3 not the greatness of DS4, even tho ignoring the stick placement the controller is good.

I don't get all the DS3 hate, we been playing on Dual Shocks for damn near 20 years. Now it's garbage?

I get that cats prefer other controllers which is cool. I personally had no issue with the DS3 and while I DO agree the 360 controller overall was better, the d-pad is still garbage (the only weak point other than batteries) on the 360 controller.

Because the DS3 has always been garbage compared to the 360 controller. You are correct the d-pad is weak but this is supposed to be rectified on the X1 controller. Both next gen controllers have gotten good remarks. But I have not heard anyone saying one was better than the other.

The dpad looks the same on the XB1 controller. Nothing changed. For fighting games, the DS is the goat (outside of a stick of course).

Xbox One: Sharing Digital Games and Gold

http://news.xbox.com/2013/08/xbox-one-digital-games-and-live-gold

Today Marc Whitten has posted details on how Xbox One will expand how you share your games and outlines some of the benefits that Gold members will be getting at no additional cost.

Here are the highlights:

Sharing Digital Games
Everyone in your home can share digital games with each other. Your Xbox One can become your virtual game library filled with digital games that different people in the home bought. Anyone can pick any digital game on your Xbox One, sign in with their own gamertag and play – even if the owner is not signed in. Like physical media, you can also play many digitally downloaded games without being online, although experiences will be best when connected to the internet and Xbox Live. Finally, when you purchase a digital game, you can start playing even before the entire game downloads.

Because your digital games go with you, you can also use and share digital games when you sign in to another console. And, if you happen to buy a digital game when you are signed in on your friend’s console, your game will also be available on your Home Xbox One console for anyone to use.

Sharing digital games is a great feature of Xbox One, and we’re also making it possible for Xbox Live Gold members to share some of the best benefits of Gold.

Sharing Xbox Live Gold benefits
At E3 this year, we briefly highlighted a new benefit we’re bringing to Xbox Live Gold members on Xbox One. We’re calling it Home Gold. It will enable any Xbox Live Gold member on Xbox One to extend many Gold features to others at no additional cost. One Xbox Live Gold account delivering great benefits to everyone in the home.

Here’s how Xbox Live Gold members can extend Gold benefits including multiplayer gaming, Game DVR, SmartMatch and access to entertainment apps and experiences, including The NFL on Xbox, Skype, Internet Explorer:

At home. You can set up your console at home so that anyone who uses that console will enjoy multiplayer gaming and access to entertainment apps – even if you are not home or logged in.
On the go. You can log in at a friend’s house and everyone there can enjoy multiplayer gaming and access to entertainment apps while you are logged in.
At Home with Xbox One
If you’re an Xbox Live Gold member, an unlimited number of people can enjoy many benefits of Xbox Live Gold while they are using your Home Xbox One console. Friends and family will simply create their own account and gamertag and be able to enjoy Xbox Live online multiplayer gaming and access to entertainment apps.

Friends coming over to play? No problem. They can log in with their own gamertag and play online multiplayer. Even if you sign off, your friends and family can enjoy multiplayer gaming while they are playing on your Home Xbox One console.

At a Friend’s House with Xbox One
On Xbox One if you are an Xbox Live Gold member, you will be able to go to a friend’s house and play co-op multiplayer– even if your friend is not a Gold subscriber. Once you log in with your Xbox Live Gold account, everyone using that console can access multiplayer and entertainment apps for as long as you are logged in.

At Home with Xbox 360 and Xbox One
If you are an Xbox Live Gold member today, you are already set for Xbox One. Your Xbox Live Gold membership for Xbox 360 will seamlessly become an Xbox Live Gold account on your Xbox One and you will be able to enjoy Xbox Live Gold features on either console. You can even be logged in to Xbox 360 and Xbox One at the same time. Home Gold benefits are exclusively for Xbox One.


What Home Gold Means for the Xbox One Experience
With Xbox One everyone in your home has a personalized account, which will enable powerful and personal experiences, and that’s one of the reasons why we wanted to create Home Gold. It means that your account and your gamertag are truly yours. You don’t have to share your gamertag for multiplayer gaming with others in your home, or see recommendations for your kid’s cartoons next to the recommended first-person shooter for you. It also means that you can introduce new games and enjoy multiplayer with friends while they are at your house. Last but not least, it also means that when you buy one Xbox Live Gold membership, multiple people can enjoy the best benefits of Xbox Live Gold on your Xbox One at no additional charge.

I want the old plan back
