I'd say that makes sense. Microsoft own Skype anyway, why bother putting something together when you have already paid for a product that achieves the same thing?

Because cross game chat has been on xbox live forever?

Skype would be more like ability to recieve calls or something, which would be a totally different category.

1. "Between" is mispelled in "Shared Betwen all household members".

2. Also the shared game library for Xbox One is not just household members but anyone on your designated shared list (one person per game, up to 10) which could be friends or family 1000 miles away.

3. And I think Final Fantasy XV is a PS4 exclusive also.

4. Diablo III should be multi-platform as already stated.

Other then that, nice list.

And, there are a couple of things mission from the list.

Xbox One

  • Supports external HDDs
  • Netflix and other streaming services continue to require Live Gold membership

PS4

  • HDD is user-replaceable/upgradable.
  • PSN+ also includes cloud saves
  • PSN+ can also be shared among household members
  • Paid streaming services, like Netflix, do not require PSN+

Woah, really (the one in bold)? I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere, and after some Googling it seems as though this has been in effect since it came out?

Missing the game share on XB1 side (without sharing primary account which is not practical for people like me).

I believe it's one PSN+ per console (same as XB1).

So you want them to offer cross-game chat, and then offer a Skype application separately? It seems a bit pointless to me, but fair enough.

Maybe I'm just misunderstanding you...

I mean, Xbox Live has had Cross game chat for a while, it's part of the platform (you can join groups and each person can be in a different game). In the other hand, Skype in Xbox One is something that comes like an overlay (or something), that works in the background (like the group chat, but it's an entirely different application). You can receive calls (or make them) while playing a game, and this is a different feature than the group chat offered by Xbox Live.

Are you saying this or something else?

EDIT: I kinda get you... you are saying that they are ditching the group chat feature for Skype. has there been any confirmation of this or it just seems logical?

That is a crap load of games. I guess I should get around to playing some of the massive backlog that I have before buying a ton more.

I get you... I should stop playing the same games over and over...

I think they mentioned as such during reveal: XB1 is the only device where skype group chat is free(as in requires Gold :p).

It's not.

I do believe Minecraft should be at least under XO/PC since it's not going to be the same version as the 360 one.

My mistake, just found some sources stating its not a PS4 exclusive, thanks for the catch. Final Fantasy XV was one reason I'd want the PS4 over the Xbox One, but I'm leaning toward the Xbox One even more now.

Missing a lot of into on the 360 controller, including the headphone jack and the IR thing use by the kinect. They're also listing early access to betas for PSN+ but not for XBL.

^ Ahh gotcha!

The whole voice chat on Live is being replaced with skype.

And PS+ will continue to give free games. Drive Club already having been announced as free at launch for PS+.

Microsoft hasn't officially announced (that I've seen) that X1 will get free games through XBLGold, only that 360 users will get them up until launch (and since those aren't backwards compatible, that shouldn't be listed under XBL until announced).

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • Google DeepMind AI Control Roadmap: When Alignment Fails, Defense-in-Depth Takes Over

      Google DeepMind published a document on June 18, 2026, that may be the most consequential admission yet from a frontier AI lab: alignment training alone cannot guarantee that AI agents will remain under human control, so structural containment must be built before more capable models arrive.............. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318758/20260620/google-deepmind-ai-control-roadmap-when-alignment-fails-defense-depth-takes-over.htm  
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Taliseian · Posted

      I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
