So a few things have changed since E3. A lot of PS fan boys have piped down after certain changes. But it's the subtle changes that are creeping to the surface that SHOULD be giving the X1 bigger hype. However it would seem that Microsofts PR department sucks major balls. All these features yet they couldn't have just put the haters to bed at E3. So what's changed? Some of you will be familiar already, but i'll cover off all bases in case you missed anything, because as i say, Microsofts PR is shit, and haven't been shouting enough.
So, start with the obvious:
DRM free. Was ineffectual to me personally, but the masses approve, yay.
there you go, just a few of the updates since E3. Any thoughts on some of these updates? Obviously there's gripes to go with all that also, my main issue being the hideous prices for the accessories. Hope some of that was informative for ya.

- Last week, Major Nelson did an unboxing video, showing that you in fact get a headset with the Xbox One, despite previous reports. (Why did you not just tell us MS?!?)
- The Xbox One has been revealed to have tech that cools itself down when the X1 overheats, effectively eliminating the old RROD issue
- Gamerpics will be available to get @ 1080p, i'm assuming there will be a larger view of this, as it's otherwise pointless
- Gameplay footage constantly being recorded at 720p for the last 5 minutes of play
- 2 Achievement lists: same game ports via 360 and One e.g. FIFA 14 will have a separate Cheevo list for both consoles, giving you a possible 2000g's instead of 1000. Obviously you'd have to be retarded to buy the game twice though surely?
- 2 Achievement TYPES: traditional list, plus a new 'challenge' list
- My favourite unsung feature: since E3 Microsoft clocked the GPU speed of the console from 800 to 853mhz, with an updated and improved graphics driver
- Noise and Heat reduction on the console itself, supposedly quiet as a mouse
- Optional adaptor to use your old 360 headsets on the One
- recently announced that the RRP for games is the same as the 360, which is £49.99, although we all know games are generally £39.99 at launch, I would expect for at least the first year, One prices will stick at £49.99 untill the pre-owned market grows
- being able to start playing a game before it's finished downloading, great feature as some areas still get shoddy internet speeds. nothing worse than watching the percentage bar for hours.
- MS changed their minds following a lot of heat regarding Indie community games, they now fully support for the Xbox One
