With “Judges Week” for E3 going on leaks and rumors are beginning to spill! The following image has surfaced on social media which lists a Halo 5 tech demo and no mention of the repeatedly rumored Halo 2 Anniversary. Keep in mind this hasn’t been confirmed.
For those who don’t know what Judges week is it’s when a elite group of individuals get earlier access to interviews and demos hosted by game publishers at E3 weeks ahead of the conference.
It looks like a Halo “Mash-Up” pack is headed to Minecraft for Xbox. The Halo Waypont twitter account posted a tweet announcing it earlier today.
An in-game screenshot was included in the tweet showing a Master Chief skinned player holding a Needler, standing in front of some Halo themed blocks. And in the background a Halo ring can be seen in the sky.
There is no release date yet and no further details have been given at this time. Head of Xbox, Phil Spencer did recently confirmed that a release date for Minecraft: Xbox One is close to being finalized. Xbox 360 saves will transfer to Xbox One, but no word on mash-up packs and other features.
Starting April 8th Xbox will be rolling out the ability to upload Xbox One game clips recorded with the built in DVR to YouTube! Those “Xbox, Record That” moments will finally be able to share beyond Upload Studio and your friends/followers on Xbox One. It’s pretty safe to say that this feature will (probably) follow the maximum 5 minute video length that Upload Studio currently has in place for uploading to your OneDrive (or publishing to your clips on Xbox One)
Game DVR and Upload are among the most used apps on Xbox One. We know how important it is to be able to easily watch and share video clips, and starting tomorrow we’re rolling out an update to the YouTube app on Xbox One that integrates Game DVR and Upload with YouTube**, making it easier than ever to capture and share game clips with the world.
Now, use Game DVR to capture epic gaming moments, edit them in Upload Studio, and, with the simple click of a button inside the YouTube app (look for My Uploads**), share them instantly to your YouTube channel. The updated YouTube experience also allows you to watch YouTube videos in Snap Mode, earn Media Achievements, and adds YouTube channels to OneGuide for instant access to YouTube videos right next to your favorite TV listings or App Channels.
*Xbox Live Gold required; GoPro is launching on Xbox 360 in all Xbox Live markets
**In Settings, elect to “Share game clips” and “Share on social network”

Today, via Major Nelson’s blog, Microsoft released the official unboxing video for the Xbox One Day One Edition. The Day One Edition is for those lucky people who pre-ordered the console immediately as many retailers had a very limited supply. The Day One Edition comes with some exclusive DLC and a unique Day One controller.
Major Nelson walks us through each item that will be included with all versions of the Xbox One, INCLUDING a headset! The headset was previously thought to be sold separately which would have left multiplayer lobbies filled with users talking via the Kinect and whatever extra room sounds it picked up. It’s nice that they included a cheap boom style mic to allow for a more personal chat experience online.
It seems that the Xbox One may be in it’s manufacturing phase so now would be the proper time to get EXCITED!

Xbox has released a brief look at some of the accessories for the Xbox One. The wireless controller, the play & charge kit, and the improved chat headset. Personally, I will definitely be purchasing the play & charge kit. As for the headset, I’ll wait for an adapter to allow for Xbox 360 gaming headsets to work with the newly designed USB port on the Xbox One controller.
Experience the action like never before with the Xbox One Wireless Controller. New Impulse Triggers deliver fingertip vibration feedback, so you can feel every jolt and crash in high definition.Redesigned thumbsticks and an all new D-pad provide greater precision. And the entire controller fits more comfortably in your hands. With over 40 innovations, it’s simply the best controller Xbox has ever made.
Keep the action going with the Xbox One Play & Charge Kit. Recharge while you play or afterwards, even when your Xbox is in standby. The long-lasting rechargeable battery fully charges in under 4 hours. Say goodbye to disposable batteries and having to swap them out in the middle of a game.
Keep your in-game communications crisp with the Xbox One Chat Headset. Hear friends and foes in crystal-clear digital audio. The Chat Headset is designed for comfort during long gaming sessions. Plus, you can adjust the mute and volume settings without taking your hands off the controller.

As the title says, Microsoft made headlines when they announced the change or reversal of their Xbox One DRM policies. In this video I discuss the news and what it means for some innovative Xbox One features that unfortunately won’t exist because of these changes.

Hi there, H3AsiiM made a video to show you all how to check your CSR (Competitive Skill Rank) in Halo 4 via the Xbox’s HaloWaypoint App. This is for all players who don’t have a smart phone or a computer next to their gaming console. Unfortunately in order to check your CSR via the Xbox you must exit the game, where as other devices that support HaloWaypoint App (smartphones and computers) don’t require this. The CSR system just went live as of April 8th and you can find more details here.
