ALL YOUR BASE
Yeah yeah...
Yeah yeah...
After a couple rounds of adding an Xbox One to my online cart, and then backing out. It is done. 1TB Master Chief bundle, Kinect, additional controller, more Eneloop batteries, and a copy of COD Advanced Warfare. To be delivered in a couple weeks.
My oldest, to be 9 years old this August, said he either wants and XBox One and COD or another XBox 360 so he can play games with all 8 of his friends. Given the XB1 will emulate the 360 it was a no brainer to give him "both". He'll just tell his friends to bring their controllers over. Only downside is that now I have to consider getting a Live Gold account for his profile so he can play online with restrictions.
9 years old with a Gold acct is perfect.
That way he can tell grown men that their moms are fat after across-the-map-head-shots.
Bwahahaha. Like I said, with restrictions. Those being private online parties with known friends.
Is there another way? From what I have seen, at least on the 360, you have to have at least 1 Gold account logged in to open up the option for guests to play on the same console. My 9 year old currently has the free, Silver, account and it will not let him play any online content thus, no gaming with friends even in private parties.
Some games have "invite-only" options built in... but I think it has to be Gold, like you said.
PSN wins again!
One time, I looked at an Xbox One and it gave me the derp-eye, I passed out and forgot who I was for three days. I haven't gone near one since. PSN for the win.
Hey, now *there's* the epitome of excitement, video game golf. As if the real version, which at least entails some walking around, isn't boring enough.
I kid, I kid.

Hope you have a fast internet connection...
Nice. When I first got mine, I had DSL that was probably 4Mbps tops. That update took hours. Then the downloads for AC Unity and AC Black Flag probably took close to 24 hours each. That was ridiculous. I've since upgraded to 100 Mbps cable but I usually top out around 65 Mbps.
I too have cable. IIRC, they promise s'thing like 150mbps but I usually plateau at 100. I think it has more to do with the modem I have.
If your Modem is DOCSIS 2.0 then upgrading to a 3.0 modem should increase your speeds.
How is the Wolfenstein bundle? I'm thinking I need that. $44 seems like a decent deal for the bundle.
Witcher is definitely on my list of games to get. I've watched some people play it on Twitch and it looks cool. When it drops to $40-ish, I'll probably pick it up.

Tempted to connect this machine to my monitor and the guest wifi at work to see if I can get a head start on the set-up process.
Wolfenstien is awesome. I loved that game. Its well worth the price. Beat the base game and now working on the old blood
Anybody play Bloodborne? I find it to be a great game. If you don't mind dying every few minutes, I recommend it.
