You might want to pre-order your next gen console
Neither Microsoft nor Sony’s next generation console is here yet.

Peter Molyneux, founder of 22Cans and former Microsoft employee, says the press conferences by Microsoft and Sony were very unprofessional.

Microsoft points will convert to cash – but expire
Microsoft is doing away with its stupid banana dollar Microsoft Points system, opting instead to utilise real world cash values. that change will happen at some point this year (likely to co-incide with the Xbox One launch).

If there’s one thing that no one tells you about E3, it’s that it’s more crowded than Burger King on a Saturday. Four events kicked things off on Monday, with Sony, Microsoft, EA and Ubisoft all doing their best to upstage one another. Which you can see in all its glory, after the jump.
E3 2013: Microsoft conference round-up

Microsoft has handed Sony the keys to the next generation
Microsoft started off this year’s E3 with a bit of a whimper. They kept to their promises and showed off nothing but games – and for a while, it seemed like they were killing it. Metal Gear Solid 5, Dead Rising 3 and a new Killer Instinct got it off to a good start – but then they skirted around the DRM issue, and finally, revealed a launch price for their new console, the Xbox one. It’ll be released at a price of $499.

Microsoft confirms insane Xbox One DRM
This wasn’t the news I wanted to wake up to on a Friday but it looks like Microsoft has refused to listen to gamers and in a futile attempt for this disaster to not ruin their E3 they have decided to clarify how the Xbox One will work and it’s not pretty.
FFD: Will you buy the Xbox One?
