5 year old hacks Xbox 1

[Brando70]

LOL at that hack and at that kid having the most German name since Heinrich von Struedelstuffengrubben.

I have been bitten by don't-look-back-itis, too. Now that the methadone is kicking in for my Battlefield addiction, I keep telling myself I should go back and play my copies of Bioshock Infinite and Dead Island. I just can't muster up the enthusiasm to turn on those old machines!

Good to see. Hopefully it actually does what they are touting.

This account seems to take a more subdued approach: http://www.theverge.com/gaming/2014/3/2 ... nt-require

I have to admit that I am totally hooked with the new mode Garden vs Graveyards, all kinds of cartoonish characters representing plants and zombies while trying to capture or defend a position. In fact, I have played this game more than Titanfall, Cod or BF4 in the shooters genre as it's just too much fun.

he just hit space several times. Where are you getting he used a "bad word"?

[fatheadX]

Watch it again, it claims he typed in a 'bad word' first, which took him to a password verification screen and that's when he typed the spaces.

Bad word for a 5 year old could be "shut up" or "sucks" for all we know. Kids are soft these days.

I choose to believe he just finished watching Deadwood on HBO Go and typed in sanfranciscococksucker.

The length is good, but you should probably add an uppercase letter and a symbol to your password, you know, for security.

could also mean he just typed in gobblydook. There is no indication bad=swear here, and every other report fails to mention it. It's more likely bad=incorrect, thus asking for password verification.

But hey, assume he typed it f*** if you want. Doesn't have anything whatsoever to do with the story or the vulnerability he inadvertently discovered.

Are you seriously annoyed by this? LOL

In other news which is not bad about the XB1 I heard the new update will allow uploading videos to Youtube. About time.

The funny thing about that chart is that its wrong. The gap is even bigger. That's PS4s sold to consumers. And XB1 sold to retailers. Eeesh. They are getting their asses kicked.

The chart has colors for that no? Black to consumers and red for units shipped.

I think it has the gap covered and yeah that is quite the beating.

[dbdynsty25]

No kidding. Lol. Thanks for the update. I was just pointing out that its severely misleading.

[Feanor]

Another way to look at the gap is 2014 shipments: 2.8 million to 1.1 million.

I was pretty surprised that cutting the price $50 and including Titanfall for free wasn't enough to make the Xbox One outsell the PS4 in America in March.

I'm not that surprised. Discounts from selected retailers is not enough to alter the momentum Sony has. Microsoft needs to just drop it to a flat $399. They may even need to add a $349 SKU for a Kinectless version. Despite the perception, the XB1 interface is not a problem without a Kinect. I rarely use the Kinect to move around, unless I'm watching TV and want to jump to Amazon or Netflix. I can do that without a touching a controller. But if I am playing a game and want to switch to TV or Netflix, I always just use the controller.

I'm not sure they can afford to wait for E3 to jump start it. But we'll see.

[Diablo25]

There is no doubt the PS4 is leading the pack right now. However, all things considered the XB1 is trending well. I use mine FAR more than my PS4. The main reason is the TV interface which I love. Things will change a bit when my copy of The Show arrives on the 6th . The updates to the XB1 have been great of late so I have no complaints. No complaints about the Ps4 either...I have the best of both worlds.

On a different note, I got the XB1 headphones, which work with my PS4, iPad, etc. , etc. they are not surround sound but do a damn good job for the price ($75). Glad I pulled the trigger.

[vader29]

I've noticed over the last few weeks that my local Wal-Mart has had PS4's available on a regular basis and just this week both the Xbox One Titanfall and Forza bundles that were selling for $450 are all sold out. Has to make you wonder with the original Kinect on the 360 costing $150 at launch that a Kinectless Xbone could have taken at least that much off the original selling price and they wouldn't have fallen behind, will be interesting to see if the price drops even more in the coming months.
