I haven't really been keeping up with the x1. I have a ps4 but I want the best of both worlds. I don't hate on either consoles. That said I was wondering if you guys can get me up to date on the x1.

My main interest is Forza 5 and Forza horizon 2. Right off the bat im going to buy those games If I get the console.

1. What other games have I missed out on exclusive wise and what exclusives are looking good in 2015?

2. Any word on the next gears of war? This would be a big reason why I would get a x1.

3. I don't want to start up any system wars drama but Is there a noticeable difference in graphics between the ps4 and x1?

4. Is xbox live still $59.99 for the year?

5. Should I get forChristmas or wait till another price drop? Do you guys think it is going to stay at $399.99 for another year?

Now is the best time to get Xbox one it is only $350.00 for Xbox one and 2 games. Assassin's Creed Unity and Assassin's Creed 4 Black flag. So get the console and Forza 5 and Forza Horizon 2. Other exclusive games are Sunset Overdrive, Dead Rising 3, Killer instinct and Ryse Son of Rome. Plus Halo Master Chief Collection. Gears of War "Black tusk" is due 2016 ish. And Halo 5 in 2015. Xbox live is $59.99 per year but there are sales so you can find it cheaper.

Plus a game console is the best Christmas present ever. Xbox one is great for Christmas.

Yeah, My mom asked me what I wanted for xmas and honestly theres nothing quite like having a new console to play on Christmas day.

The thing about the bundle is that I already have ac black flag and unity on ps4. I wish I could find a sunset overdrive bundle. I guess I could always sell the ac codes and use the money towards forza 5 and forza horizon 2.

I don't hear too much about titanfall anymore but I think im going to get that game as well.

I have the Sunset Overdrive bundle and I love it! You should not be disappointed with it at all and you're getting a great game right off the bat!

Enjoy the console on Christmas morning!

Congrats mate, best of both worlds is the best - nothing beats it. Let the ignorant fanboys fight and argue whilst we get to game on both consoles and not worry about a thing.

I figured there might be a Forza fan looking at that avatar. Hey you can wait longer but I doubt you'll see bigger discounts than we have now, anytime soon. Horizon 2's online community now is thriving. There are a multitude of online clubs that are open to the public and have great members. Just yesterday, despite having a rather large backlog of games, I spent the entire night racing online in Horizon 2. Was racing with this group of 10 guys, they were all in the same club, all clean racers, all just out cruising and having a good time, having conversations about cars....so yeah you can wait but you're just missing out right now hehe enjoy Christmas either way man

I hope u enjoy the XB1 at Christmas and you can't go wrong with Sunset Overdrive it's a fun game and I think you should consider getting quantum Break and Halo 5 and the Halo MCC too.

That's what I keep hearing. Im not even a really big halo fan anyways so ill probably wait till this drops heavily in price. Halo 5 is a different story though.

Congrats, hope you enjoy the new console. I was in a similar situation to you back in the summer. I had the PS4 but was looking to finally get on board the Xbox One bandwagon as well. Glad I did, from other posts it seems like you're leaning towards getting Forza Horizon 2 which I can't recommend highly enough, bought an X1 back in August mainly for that game and don't regret that decision. I'd also recommend Killer Instinct and once you get done with Sunset Overdrive and some of the open world games you have on PS4, I'd say give Dead Rising 3 a look. I didn't care for the first 2 but for some reason thought 3 was pretty good.

Next year looks great as well after the slow early months. Quantum Break, Halo 5, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Crackdown and Scalebound are all games that have been announced and I'd expect to see at least 3 of those 5 in 2015. There's also the strong possibility of Forza Motorsport 6.

Yea I got forza 5 first, going to go through that and then get forza horizon 2. I did not like the first 2 dead risings but for the price it is now I might give it a try.

Really looking forward to quantum break and rise of the tomb raider.

Its plain fun. Open world shoot everything type of game with a great vibrant color scheme that brings the world to life. Only complaint is it took sooo long to download even though I have a fast internet. It was worth the wait though.

I'm glad you are enjoying it. I've been playing the Halo 5 beta in my Xbone. :)

You have both systems, so it's easier for you to notice the DLs take longer on Xbone even with guys like us who have fast internet. I usually leave my machine on and do some chores and come back, lol.

Yeah also Sunsetoverdrive took really long because its a digital download. It will probably be the only digital download I get (since it came with the bundle). Im more a physical copy kind of guy. Plus I notice they install quicker. Yes my ps4 installs everything wayyyyy quicker but that's why its always good to have the best of both worlds. You can't play forza/gears of war on ps4 or uncharted/ gran turismo on xbox 1.
