Get it or skip it?
People have to hand it to Apple. IGN found themselves surrounded by new tech of all kinds at the Consumer Electronics Show 2007 in Las Vegas last January, but all of it -- especially the hundreds of me-too cell phones -- was dwarfed by the epic shadow of the iPhone, a device that incidentally wasn't even on display at CES. Some suggested that company CEO Steve Jobs timed the unveiling of the firm's super phone to coincide with the Las Vegas electronics show in order to steal all the buzz, but the charismatic executive explained otherwise. While Apple is known to hold onto its secrets until they are practically ready to ship -- announce today and sell tomorrow -- the house that built iPod pulled back the curtain on iPhone uncharacteristically early; as it turns out, about six months so. The reason for the premature showing, said Jobs, was that the FCC has in the past jumped the gun and revealed products sent in for approval before the companies involved could formally announce them, and Apple didn't want to risk a similar mishap. Undeniable logic, but that truth hasn't helped ease the wait for the arrival of the all-encompassing media and genius phone. Now, finally, that the iPhone is almost here -- it goes on sale officially on June 29 at 6:00 p.m. at an Apple or AT&T/Cingular dealer near you -- and people still might be wondering if the slick touch-screen unit is worth your $499 or, if to opt for the 8GB model, $599? That's a lot of cash for a phone, so better be ready to make the plunge. It's with this in mind that IGN presents the real-life pros and cons of Apple's iPhone.
Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's plans to increase every department's margins.
"The plan to move Xbox games to other platforms is codenamed "Latitude" internally, and I know there's debate and unease at Microsoft about whether or not this is a good idea. More upcoming Microsoft-owned games slated for PlayStation are already being developed. At least for now, they're potentially obvious games you'd most likely expect. And yes, while it's true Microsoft is a prolific publisher on PlayStation already, it has typically revolved around specific franchises like Minecraft. From what I've heard, Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's mandate to increase every department's margins. "
Yeah, they are going to kill Xbox hardware.
"Yeah, they are going to kill Xbox hardware."
It's for the best.
Quit stringing along xbox fans and screwing over PlayStation owners.
An Xbox game on a Playstation. Never in my years of gaming did i ever thought this was gonna happen.
i think it will kill off the xbox brand. windows will be fine.
but there is and would be a chance that xbox might be killed off in the future. if they fail to make the money they put in. imo.
They wont kill it, but they will go fully PC while keeping xbox as a brand, and go multiplatform for the most part. They will also work tirelessly to diminish console gaming’s importance.
It would be best if Xbox goes the way of Sega, just make and publish games. I know I myself will not support them at all with buying games from them, you all can. 🙃
The Xbox brand will live for the games. I don’t expect Microsoft to entirely drop out of gaming hardware. They make Surface tablets and laptops. They’ll make Xbox branded hardware for those that want it.

Forza and Starfield next?
Starfield would be no surprise and there's the rumor that it will come to Playstation after the Shattered Space DLC, Forza (along with Halo and Gears of War) I find less likely but I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually end up on PlayStation too, especially if Xbox give up on hardware and go the Sega route.
Not to worried about forza. I'd rather see others like what inxile and obsidian are working on. Starfield sounds like it needs more time in the oven so let it cook first imo. If starfield and it's a small if does release on ps it'll be in the fall around the time for dlc or right at the dlc and come packaged with it.
In the words of Phil Spencer when he was talking about Nintendo last year
“It's just taking a long time for Microsoft to see that their future exists off of their own hardware"
100%!!
I wonder what happened to that dude that was always here posting those court articles with cartoons about MS spending all those billions in studios. He suddenly disappeared, I guess he doesn't like bad news when the green brand is in trouble. No new articles from him as of late...

This is one kcuffing sexy phone, but for me it's the Sony Ericsson W960i FTW. I was looking forward to the iPhone as a new toy, but I've been wooed over by W960i recently.
I prefer my batteries to be replaceable, too.
Unless this phone can stream Appletv then it probably wont be worth justifying a purchase for this one.
That is it! i am getting a zune...
