Right, get me on the motherfucking train. I've spent all day playing my 360 trying to think of why I shouldn't trade it against a One, and I have no reasons. I've played everything I wanted to, I'm done.

A few more shots for the Sunset Overdrive Hype Train, choo choo:

Welcome back, faithful listeners, to Hype Train Radio! I'm your host DJ Flash and please...hold your applause. Now, back to the action. If I'm looking at Microsoft's official Xbox One countdown app correctly (Click this line of yellow text for more information), It says that we have about 4 days and 10 hours to go until the Xbox One launches here in the US and across 12 other countries around the world. Now since this is Hype Train Radio it only makes sense for me to offer you songs that can really help you build up that hype for the Xbox One and to that I have gone back into the annuals of time and pulled out a song that was used for the first ever trailer for the game Sunset Overdrive. Sunset Overdrive will be an exclusive game for the Xbox One and is being developed by the good people at Insomniac Games; the noteworthy developers of such series as Spyro, Richet & Clank, and Resistance. The song is called They Come to Get Us and is performed by a group named The Death Set. Sunset Overdrive, Death Set, Insomniac Games; couldn't ask for a better list of nouns. Be sure to send in your suggestions for what you would like me to play next here on Hype Train Radio. 4 more days NeoGAF, believe.

That's the part I'm confused about. I remember them demoing at E3 this idea of being able to set really specific matchmaking parameters, then switch out into another game while it does that for you. When a game has been found, Xbox Live notifies you that "your game is ready" and you swap right back into the multiplayer session.

After the 180, they said instant game switching is only truly possible if you've bought both games digitally. But now that they're close to launch they've been saying one game and 3-5 apps. So is instant game switching, regardless of purchasing method, gone?

I think you have this slightly confused. All digital allows switching between games without having to put a disc in the tray. You can't instantly switch between COD and killer instinct for example because they both need that 5GB of ram. You could switch between them more slowly (about as long as it takes to load one of those games fresh) but I wouldn't call that instant.

Sweet. Call of Duty Ghosts and Assassins Creed 4 are in shipping soon status on Amazon. These will be the first Xbox One games I get. So excited. Wish they'd send my controller early. I want to hold that thing.

That's my understanding of it at this point, but I could have sworn they demoed what I stated before. I think it was during the E3 stage show, actually. Playing Ryse and switching into Killer Instinct.

Pretty disappointing they didn't just go with chargeable batteries by default, especially considering the controller comes with a cable already so that controllers can be both wireless/wired.


Anyways, just got my shipment confirmation email from the MS store a few minutes ago.

After dealing with the new dualshock 4's 6-8 hour battery life, I'm incredibly happy that MS went with options again. I'd much rather use my eneloops and not worry about charging my controllers for 1-3 weeks at a time.

I wish they had a play and charge designed like the last one. It fit really well and you could use it tethered most of the time, which I did when the charge quit holding. Those usb, and especially the ps4's micro usb, are terrible for keeping plugged in while playing

Good point, didn't really think of that.

I checked UPS My Choice and the Xbox that's in the process of being canceled (Microsoft Store) is scheduled to arrive on Tuesday.

That's really weird. Anyone else see that?

Yeah I’ve noticed my DS4 doesn’t last too long. Very disappointing. I’m finding myself much more excited for the ONE than my PS4 right now. Didn’t expect that at all.

I bought a controller last night and got no cables with it. Is that only with the console itself?

I think it'll be fairly easy to find both a couple of weeks after launch. Some effort may be required though.

Do we know if Xbox Live will still disconnect in order to perform updates in games or apps? This must be the most annoying thing on the 360 for me.

Isn't there an option for auto downloads now, sure that stops that from happening?
Sure it's in the options somewhere.

Settings.
Console Settings.
Auto-Downloads (automatically updates games and apps without requiring you to confirm)

I see you added Titanfall which is 360/PC, so these games should apply too.
