I wonder how this BC works, seeing as most of the new Xbox games are going to be playable on PC would it be completely out of the realm of possibility to bring 360 digital games to PC?

port is apparently really good according to digital foundry - while 360 version would constantly dip below 30 fps, the xbox one BC version is 100% 30 fps all the time

I wouldn't count on the BC emu coming to PC anytime soon. While theoretically possible, since its really just an app running on x86 fully emulating the 360 APIs and pre-translating all the 360 games to x86, between publisher agreements and piracy considerations it wouldn't make much sense for Microsoft to port it to a Windows 10 UWP app.

Microsoft to offer Xbox One trade-up program for Project Scorpio

possible $599 MSRP of Scorpio (Fall 2017), possible trade up programs is nice. Esp since xbone supports ext USB drives, I have a 2TB drive attached to mine and I've already switched consoles once, it was WAY easier than ps4 - just deactivate old one, power on new one, sign in, and it auto recognized the new drive and redownloaded all my cloud saves and stuff. Up and running in 10 minutes, vs the hours and hours it took on PS4 to copy games to USB drive, reinstall my SSHD on new PS4, then hours to recopy/redownload everything.

Fantastic deal on a xbox one right now too, $299 from microsoft store for one with 1TB, Halo 5, GoW, Rare Replay, ORI, extra game, extra controller, $50 microsoft store GC, and $20 design (byo controller) credit

So far the only game I want on Xbone is RDR, which I have on PS3.

What are must-have Xbone exclusives and what's coming up this year? I didn't really follow much E3 stuff this year.

EA Access is probably my most coveted Xbox One exclusive, as I've been gaming mostly on PC and EA Access gives me 20+ titles and discounts on the handful of titles I do buy.

I expect that to change w/ Xbox Play Anywhere, more willing to buy some of the other titles if they're available on both PC and my console as a result.

The extra game (in the Canada store) is Watchdogs, just dance 2016 or just Dance Disney party 2.
In the USA no watch dogs but add AC Unity as an option.

Both sites show a 8/31/16 release date for the new Xbox One S 2tb 4k slim.

for the last 2-3 days ive not been able to watch anything in the media player it constantly skips and stutters to the point where its unwatchable, ive had issues of it skipping and such but i more or less fixed that issue by fast forward a little bit and it would kind of even itself out and stop the skipping, but now for the last few days that little trick isnt working to get it to stop skipping, i was maybe wondering if it was the format but no its happening with every type.

Installed RDR on my Xbox One and then was able to download all the DLC - Very seamless which was good. This game holds up VERY well.

That VR is looking pretty cool with some of those games. Seeing the anime singer on stage made me wonder, would be easy to configure something like this to help people with public speaking difficulties too by simulating that. Could also make a pretty cool crime investigation game, doubled up for hilarity if it had a built in blacklight and your house showed all the mysterious blood stains on the carpet.

I heard the Playstation VR is bad in comparison with HTC Vive - has anyone used both to compare?
