They didn't say "exclusive to Xbox and Windows 10" just "coming to Xbox and Windows 10".

I'm not 100% but that probably distingushes the Windows 10 Store. But DR3 came to Steam, and is playable on Win7 etc.

They surely wouldn;t have bothered with an XBox One S

You may be right there.

Doubt they'd nerf the Xbox S chances like that. We'll see!

 

Also doubt the 6 TFLOPS deal would be ready this year.

Nope, didn't show you what it looks like.

Because it won't even be built yet. Hardware is in preliminary stages.

 

If they could show you what it was like it wouldn't be 1.5 years away.

That was never going to happen though.

 

Looks like we're all right though, the future of consoles is incremental hardware updates without sacrificing backwards compatibility.

Decent conference, but damn that leak list hurt it.

 

Scorpio announcement while good to clear up rumours is very early and hard to get all that excited about. It's a while off. IMO no point in buying an Xbox S, original One owners should just hold off till next years E3 and hope for full specs and prices of Scorpio.

 

Seems like a tactical announcement to try and dampen the Neo release this year (as specs will be lower).

 

Crackdown being MIA was strange.

Better start saving...

There's enough time, and they only said 2017, not holiday 2017, it could be next Spring, or in the summer, like July.    At least they're going to give developers time to play with it.

That's my plan really. All depends on the details and release but i'd hate to grab an XB1S (lol) now just to have to replace it in a couple of years.

Yeah not sure why anyone would buy the S unless they discontinued the original.

    • For the purpose that it was built for, it’s a great machine. It’s okay to own multiple machines, it’s okay for machines to be different. If every computer was the same, they’d be boring af.
    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
