    Consumers Won't Pay Xbox One Second Account Installation Fee, Shops Will

    I'm mostly content with PC gaming, but reading stuff like this makes me never want to go back to consoles again. The PS4 seems more promising. I hope they dominate this generation and Microsoft learns something from it. Maybe the SteamBox will be the savior this round...

There are no physical buttons (Home key, talk, end, etc.) and are replaced by the bottom .25" of the screen instead, so I don't think it'll be much bigger...

    Microsoft Still Launching Xbox TV This Year

    back_by_demandI think the point I was trying to make was that COMCAST do not exist anywhere else outside the USA. Fair enough, but Xbox TV won't exist anywhere outside the USA from what I gather either... At least for the near future.

    This will most likely never hit American clinics and only be used in developing nations where ARTs are provided through organizations like PEPFAR or UNAIDS. Pharmaceutical companies are greedy bastards when it comes to American health and they get away with it because enough people can afford it.
