New Console News

Xbox One

Still no release date but many who attended PAX indicated they were happy with the offerings.  With 2+ hour long waits to play, it looks as if Titanfall will be a hit when it releases.  Good news has been circulating about most of what was seen at PAX this year.

Microsoft also renamed the Xbox Live Marketplace to Xbox Games Store.  The Xbox Games Store rounds out the trifecta of Xbox related “stores” along with Xbox Music Store and Xbox Video Store.  Source.

Sony Playstation

Playstation Vita online play will not require a Playstation Plus account like the PS4 currently does.  You will, however, need a Playstation Plus account to play PS4 games online remotely through your PS Vita.  Source.
