I've always had problems with text size when gaming on a TV. For a long time, my 42" LCD was my gaming monitor, and I played EQ on it. Had to bump up the font size to near max to be able to read anything, even though the rest of the game was fantastic.

Probably had something to do with me sitting 10 feet away from the TV, but whatevers.

So Xbox one will drop down to 399 for the UK only with a free copy of Titanfall.

The Titanfall Bundle for the US has not dropped in price, and will remain the same only with a free copy of the game.

yes on voice chat, absolutely gorgeous graphics and pretty smooth combat and shit. horrible launcher (sized at like... 360p or something, can't read shit) and the text box in the client is utter shit too, too tiny to read on my 60" and everyone else I have seen says its too small, probably a bug to fix. who cares though, unless the game has changed a lot chat is worthless anyways.

unfortunately the current ps4 servers are flooded and everyone has to reroll a new level 1, so dunno how lag and shit will be in the big dungeons or raids. seems fun enough though, especially since 1 sub will cover both pc/ps4. I have a vita too so that could be pretty cool, but im just going to wait until the ps4 beta lets you transfer in your existing chars, cuz fuck leveling in ff14.

Takes a bit of fiddling and the control scheme for it isn't super obvious, but once I figured out how to make the virtual mouse pop up with L1+R3, resizing and relocating the chat boxes became a breeze. Plus you can increase the font size in the chat options. R3 clicking all of the windows in the UI settings made pretty much everything perfectly readable. The only small text you can't seem to do anything about are the small chat bubbles that pop up when you walk by NPC's talking with each other. (Text in the quest dialogue windows are still pretty small, but I have that text sent to my chat window, so no biggie there).

Now that I spent some time adjusting everything, the game is very playable from 9-10ft (this is on a 50 in. screen).

I think they are going to see how many units they can move at full price with titanfall, then the price drop will happen.

For some reason the UK just got their price drop today.

I really, really, really hope Titanfall bombs hard. Not just because I think the Xbox One is a POS; because I think the game is stupid also.

Xbone is getting killed in the UK so it makes sense. Xbox division is about to start hemorrhaging money.

It will be just like every other FPS. Cool for 2 weeks then a ghost town except for the die-hards, although I wonder if the open beta was enough to get people already sick with it.

Neato, i still think its odd that it never goes on sale on PSN. This is the one system i prefer digital copies of games.. Screw that cartridge slot lol

Think it was on sale like 2weeks ago, they had a sale for the whole persona series(well what's on PSN at least). Wish they had a PS3 version of P4 golden.

Surprised Tearaway isn't on there... and not surprised to see Injustice drop to half off 48 hours after i paid full price. That's what I get for balking at $35 on sale last month. It was even cheaper at Amazon for a little while too. Amazing fucking game as a comic fan and after bingeing on the entire comic series in one sitting last week.

Japan really has become a piece of shit when it comes to gaming in general though. It's hilarious how they go from #1 most respected to non-factor in like a generation.

I just don't understand their love for mobile gaming. I look at my phone and I see garbage games all over the app store.

Don't they spend considerably more time commuting than we do and they live in much more confined spaces.

Commuting on public transportation that is.
