I like simple and fast. The whole split screen concept is clunky and slow. Everything is harder to do on XB1 IMO. I wouldn't mind folders but apart from that I hope they keep it simple.

This! I already can't figure out how to use half the features lol

Ditto. PS4 is simple and fast. Just allow us to better organize things.

This. I would still take PS4's UI all day. XOne's is clunky, needlessly complex, and downright ugly.

Does anyone know if/when the Watch ESPN app on the XOne and 360 will be updated to be able to watch the SEC Network? Through the website on my laptop and on the IPhone app both I can view SECN games, but not on either Xbox.

I understand that you guys like fast and simple but half the time the I can't see my friends in the ps4 menu or my messages don't pop up. It's frustrating.

Add those two much-needed features and I'm perfectly fine if nothing else is added. I bought a gaming system for games...not all these fancy features. Although really nice, it's not something I have to have.

MS is definitely the king of needless bells and whistles. I wish they'd approach game development with the same passion.

Halo Reach is the big game in Games With Gold for September. That's kinda cool since Reach isn't included in the Halo bundle that's about to come out.

I wonder if they'll make ODST a selection in a future month since that's the other one not in the bundle.

Halo Reach was awesome.

This is a pretty nice deal if you got a Madden bundle. Get that and Destiny both free.

Wow, that's a great deal. It sort of reeks of desperation tbh.

Meanwhile, the Xbox One launched in Japan today...

LOL! Seriously I don't know why MS even tries over in that region. They are a lost cause. Even the PS4 is struggling over there because suddenly Japanese gamers are fascinated with mobile gaming. Japan is an odd duck sometimes when it comes to gaming.

Microsoft is definitely desperate with this new deal. And yeah, them launching the X1 in Japan is pointless. It's hard enough for the PS4 and Wii U right now.

Bestbuy is offering two years of gamers club unlocked for free! I might buy this just for that then turn around and sell it. I saw someone said it starts next week.

If you purchase an Xbox One? What's so great about GCU? I'm not really familiar with it. I'm assuming you get deals on games.

Dang that is nice. And I've given up on going all digital. Bought a few games digitally but it's just not the same. I love having a physical disc with a case. Also, downloading a full game from Xbox takes FOREVER. Not worth the convenience IMO. And there's always deals on games too. Thanks to Target and Best Buy's PM to Amazon, I never pay full price for a game unless it's something I want Day 1 like Destiny coming up.

Here is the fine print: You need to be a my bestbuy reward member (free): you get 500 points add to your account within 15 days of purchase. I have an account since I shop at bestbuy (bought all my house applicances there)

To be eligible, you must be a My Best Buy™ (formerly Reward Zone) program member and meet minimum age requirements of purchased game at time of pickup or shipment. Visit My Best Buy for a list of eligible game titles, street dates, minimum age and other requirements. Street dates are subject to change by publisher. Offer valid at BestBuy.com and in Best Buy stores in 50 U.S./D.C. (excluding Puerto Rico). Game must be pre-ordered by street date and purchased as follows: (1) If you pre-order in store or online for In-Store Pickup, purchase and pick up game within 7 days of street date; or (2) If you pre-order online for Ship to Home, your purchase will be processed and shipped on or about street date. Please provide My Best Buy member number at time of pre-order and pickup. Eligible members will receive 500 bonus points (worth $10 in reward certificates) per qualified purchase. Limit one award per member per title. Points will post to your account approximately 15 days from time of pickup or shipment. Follow instructions on My Best Buy to issue your reward certificate. My Best Buy membership and reward certificates are subject to My Best Buy program rules. If you are not a My Best Buy member at time of pre-order, you must join online at My Best Buy or at any participating Best Buy store prior to game pickup or shipment. If you join on day of in-store pickup, enrollment must be on the same transaction as game pickup and member number must be provided to be eligible. If you join after game pickup or shipment, you will not be eligible to receive an award for that title. Not valid with any other offers. No dealers. No rain checks.
