Microsoft has been putting a lot of emphasis on the Xbox One’s ability to snap multiple applications at the side of your screen to allow you to keep up with various things such as watching live TV, conducting a Skype call or keeping tabs on what your friends are doing, all while continuing to play your game in real-time. A new commercial for the Xbox One aired just yesterday once again showing its Snap feature, and today, Microsoft is once focusing on this feature in a new demo video. (more…)

If you have always wanted to play a role in the wounded warrior project, but have never really managed to do so after all these years, fret not. There is hope just, although this time around, it would be fantastic if you were a gamer of sorts since you would be parting with a handsome amount of money for this white, commemorative special edition Xbox One. This particular Xbox One was handed out to Microsoft employees who happened to work on the console, and the proceeds from the auction will be shared with some charity normally, although this time around, the Wounded Warrior Project would be the recipient of such generosity.

Right now, the eBay auction bid stands at a cool $11,300 as at press time. Just for comparison’s sake, the previous auction was held for UK charity GamesAid, where it carried the and winning bid of £5,000. What do you think of such an exercise, and just how much money do you think will be raised eventually in this particular auction? Surely with a five digit figure, not too many people are able to have a say in the final pricing details, are there?

Fans of the Xbox One game console in the UK who plan to purchase on launch day know that the console will launch with a number of streaming media apps for times you don’t feel like playing games. The BBC has confirmed that is currently working on an Xbox One app for its popular iPlayer. […]

We’re sure that are many gamers out there who have multiple consoles, and don’t necessarily believe that there is a single “perfect” console out there. After who wouldn’t mind getting their hands on all the exclusive titles, right? In any case having multiple consoles usually means multiple HDMI ports being taken up, but if you’d rather not waste a HDMI port and would rather not plug in and plug out when needed, the Xbox One could be of interest to you. It seems that through its HDMI input, the Xbox One should in theory be able to run any HDMI-compatible device, like another console, for example.

The folks at Penny Arcade Report tried to find that out by talking to Jeff Henshaw, the group project manager at Xbox, who was quoted as saying, “[i]f it puts out HDMI, it’ll work just great.” Henshaw also goes on to state that any lag that might be a result of this method will not be perceivable to the human eye. At the moment Henshaw claims that he and his son have managed to hook up an Xbox 360 to their Xbox One and it runs no problem, suggesting that if you wanted to hook up the Sony PlayStation 4, technically you should be able to do so as well.
