So I assume that they'll need to get those Azure nodes in before that?

Lol, almost a full year after their competition...

These are the countries that currently have Azure nodes according to Wiki:

North America
North-central US - Chicago, IL
South-central US - San Antonio, TX
West US - California
East US - Virginia
Asia
East Asia - Hong Kong, China
South East Asia - Singapore
Europe
North Europe - Dublin, Ireland
West Europe - Amsterdam, Netherlands
Japan
Japan East, the Tokyo area
Japan West, the Kansai area
Oceania (announced, coming soon)[10]
Sydney, New South Wales (announced, coming soon)
Melbourne, Victoria (announced, coming soon)

So I would imagine it's not dependent on that.

And you'll still pay full price for games released on other countries' launch date.

And more, given exchange rates and greedy distributors.

Mike, the problem is not the nodes, as mentioned in the below article, more like a miscommunication between us and MS.It was actually EA that made the decision to not release Titanfall.

A year late, lol, ouch, that is certainly going to hurt sales!

I wonder what the odds are of getting a copy of Forza 5 with all DLC cars and tracks here.

Nope, not referring to the Titanfall fiasco. I thought that they needed Azure nodes for an 'optimal Xbox Live experience', or something to that effect...

September...

Right that gives me a few months to save up for one...

I know the PS4 is more powerful, but I'm just more attracted by the XboxOne and the Kinect idea and what it brings to the table.

 

[whatwhat]

After GDC this week, everyone will want a Xbox.

Whether we get any of the touted features in good ol' SA is another story though.

For me, the killer feature (when they enable it) is being able to snap a skype video call while playing a game.

The ps4 cant access any of the official tv services other than Netflix/Hulu, but this is a sclep to setup because you need a private paid for VPN :/

You still have to go the VPN route for those 2, right?

For what type of games?

I use UnoTelly

All types..

I'll be able to video chat with my mates while i'm playing games.... Its a simple enough feature that could be very powerful.

Meh, I prefer just voice chat. Burnout: Paradise City had an awesome multiplayer feature which would take a snap of face of your opponent when they died in the game.
