Dead Rising 3 Day One Edition Unboxing November 23, 2013

There was no game I wanted more for the Xbox One at launch than Dead Rising 3.  I’ve been a huge fan of the series since the first game came out on the Xbox 360, and now the third game looks like it truly takes advantage of the power of the Xbox One by giving what many have been wanting for years, an open world zombie survival game.

So what makes this the Day One Edition, and what are the benefits to it?  Lets take a look, shall we?

Dead Rising 3 is out now exclusive to the Xbox One.

UPDATE: I believe the provided code has been redeemed.  Don’t worry, more game unboxings and giveaways will be coming all weekend.

Xbox One Chat Headset Close Up November 23, 2013

When the Xbox One’s package was first announced, a lot of gamers cried foul that a headset was not going to be included with the system like it had been with the Xbox 360.  Microsoft hadn’t considered packing a headset with the Xbox One because the Kinect’s microphone array could allow for in-game party chat, negating the need for personal headsets.  Well, gamers preferred having their own personal headsets and eventually Microsoft changed their mind and included a personal headset with the Xbox One.

The Xbox One comes with a simple mono headset very similar in design to the Xbox 360’s headset, and like the Xbox 360’s headset, it uses a very proprietary audio port to connect to the controller.  Let’s take a closer look.
