child Calls 911 Over PlayStation Outage

We all know how mad we would get if our favorite service would miraculously go out on Christmas and this kid really took it to the next level !

Xbox one can also be use as a Development kit !

   Xbox one will also serve as a Development kit 

Yes you read it right, even though it hasn't officially been announced in the last Larry Hryb ( Larry Hryb) podcast his co-host Eric Neustadter (e) basicly confirm that the feature will be announced soon 

Microsoft also released a statement a few days ago regarding their vision about the Xbox one 

Our vision is that every person can be a creator. That every Xbox One can be used for development. That every game and experience can take advantage of all of the features of Xbox One and Xbox LIVE. This means self-publishing. This means Kinect, the cloud, achievements. This means great discoverability on Xbox LIVE. We'll have more details on the program and the timeline at gamescom in August.

Personally i think this is great for indie developers and normal gamers who would like to learn and create their own games, something that was very restrictive in the consoles world, what else does microsoft has below its sleeve ? we'll have to wait and see

EA CEO Frank Gibeau: Battlefield 4 for next gen nothing short of astonishing

After explaining the huge lay off EA has been experimenting which Frank Gibeau EA CEO calls "complex and challenging experience" he explains the transitions most if not all of their IPs will make into the next gen consoles.

In a blog post over at EA.com, Gibeau hailed the power of next generation gaming technology and discussed how the publisher would adapt to succeed on new platforms. "For EA's creative teams, this transition comes as no surprise," he began.
"We've been investing and innovating on new technology for months," he continued. "Console partners who have seen our early work agree, EA's next-gen software is nothing short of astonishing. At a GameStop company meeting earlier this week, we gave 500 store managers a sneak peak at Battlefield 4. The game received a huge ovation and thousands of fans reacted to a single enthusiastic Tweet by GameStop's CEO."
On 31st January, Gibeau revealed to investors that EA would share the first proper details of Battlefield 4 in "about 90 days". The game is apparently coming out "next year", with the next Xbox rumoured to show up before this Christmas.
