The update doesn't seem to be Mandatory yet so Morschee if you connected last night via hotspot you would not need to download the update. I had to manually install it. I also see the new pricing for MS is hitting hard, apart from Ori being a crazy R169 which is quite a lot cheaper than STEAM I saw that the DMC Definitive Edition is only R349 as well, at that price I would double dip on it but too much to play at the moment so will wait for it to go on another sale, speaking of sales though Major Nelson updated the new games that will be on sale from March 16th:

Thx DP...and R349 for DMC sounds worth it, might just DL that

First Halo ODST image for MCC collection ...

We're still getting this free if we bought at launch right? I hope they do Reach as well. Best Halo imo and one of the greatest game endings ever

Games with Gold for this month are decent on XB1 and pretty good on 360.

XB1: Massive Chalice - A Double Fine strategy game and Pool FX (this is not so good)
360: Just Cause 2 is a great game and the not so bad Thief.

Got my code for Halo ODST. If you don't use smart glass, check your account

1TB X1 out with tweaked controller out in UK ...

I guess the more interesting news (for PCers) is:

Microsoft will enable you to use your Xbox One controller with any Windows 10 PC via a wireless adapter.

The memory stick-sized device plugs into your USB port and will then sync with your controller. It will cost $24.99 in the US.

Microsoft UK has yet to set local pricing or release details for the controller adapter, other than stating that it would be available "later this year".

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-06-09-heres-your-first-official-look-at-the-1tb-xbox-one-and-tweaked-controller

Am sure they will sell these controllers bundled with the adapter they way they did with the 360 one.

Official: Xbox One wireless controller adapter will only work with Windows 10

Bugger, my main box runs Enterprise so I won't get the auto upgrade

Did you guys see the price of the Oculus. $1500.

@ DER- where did you see that?

@Der is that confirmed, thought it was the price of the Oculus plus the system that can run it

Was on an article last night, from an american site. Honestly cannot remember which, but was an article about when they announced partnership with MS and X1, the article status the price of the Oculus Rift will be $1500. They did not state estimated or anything like that, so take it as confirmed.

Gees, if true thats crazy

Yeah, but saw in the comments more than half the people said they will get it at that price.

Makes me worried about the Morpheus price for PS4

"A complete Oculus Rift setup won't cost more than $1,500" seems to be the official line ....... maybe it will only be $1499.99

So what is a complete Oculus Rift Setup? And if owning an X1, does that $1500 include the X1 console?
