MS has announced far better support for indie devs, including self-publishing:

Self-publishing is also coming to the 360 at last:

What this all means is that indie devs will no longer have to spend $$$$ having a proper publisher to be able to get their games on the XBLA.

I also read something related to this about MS improving the certification process for XBLA games.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Which is all very good news

No headset included with the Xbox one.

Multiple years to create a rechargeable controller and have failed to do so. Typical attempt into duping people out of another £15-£20 for a rechargeable kit.

One step forward and ten steps back. £499 and no headset.. someone's having a laugh here.

As long as it has a mute button, not too concerned

i am not buying it waste of money microsoft been charging for pad and battery on this gen don't expect them to change why bother having to pay for the extra stuff u be looking 500 quid to buy it who is incharge are idiots keeping my 360

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Hey, at least they won't be selling overpriced hard drives for the X-bone as the do with the 360, it doesn't have an upgradeable one. MS believe 500gb is futureproof

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

500gb will get used pretty quickly , I intend getting a 1tb external drive as well :)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Maybe it is because they are promoting online storage/download?
