LATEST FEATURES Being A Console Is Actually Xbox One's Worst Asset
Microsoft's newest console has lots of different features, but video games might hold the device back from the software giant's true intentions.

I wasn't allowed to talk about the new Infinity Ward game last week when I met with Activision, and I don't have much to say now that Xbox One spilled the beans.

Before Microsoft and Sony do something regarding their future in the video game business, I wanted to write, and I've wanted it for a long time now, but other things kept getting in my way, and fearing that tomorrow might be too late, today will have to do.  ...

Skype Teases Possibility Of Xbox Integration

Posted on Thursday, March 7 @ 15:00:41 Eastern by Alex_Osborn


Microsoft will most likely be revealing its new console within the next month or two, and speculation regarding what features will come packed into the box is unsurprisingly at an all-time high. There's reason to believe Skype will be one of the Big M's headliners.

The company purchased Skype back in 2011 for a whopping $8.5 billion, so it would stand to reason that this internet-based communication service will probably play a large role in the future of Microsoft's gaming platform. Speaking to TechRadar, Skype mobile marketing head Derek Snyder discussed the plausibility of such integration.

"If it's an Xbox we're trying to connect to - it's probably not that hard to believe we're looking at that - what does that mean for gaming? How does Skype enhance the gaming proposition? Of course Xbox has things with voice and messaging chat at the moment, but does video make sense for that case?" Snyder said.

It looks like we'll just have to wait for the impending hardware reveal to find out.

    Well MSN (Windows Live) messenger is being dissolved this month in place of Skype. All those childhood memories of staying up all hours of the night chatting on MSN 7.5 (before the shitty Windows Live Messenger took over). RIP.

    Ah, the glory days of messengers.

    Back before everyone and their 5 year old brother had unlimited texting and a camera phone.

    I don't have unlimited texting! But you're right, it f^cking disgusts how children have phones now. I didn't get my first phone until I was 17 and it was a pre-paid clamshell. I also had to pay for it myself, I highly doubt kids these days even know how a phone plan works.

    Man, it's ridiculous. A friend of mine that teaches third graders takes a kid's phone away about once a month. THIRD GRADERS! They're nine years old. What the hell do they need a phone for? Who the **** is going to call them during the day?

    Yeah, I can understand a cheap pre-paid emergency phone that you put like 100 minutes on or something, but these kids have $600 iPhones. Yesterday I saw a 7 year old with an iPad 3...what are parents thinking these days?
