If you buy an Xbone on day one you get a special achievement!

My GamerScore brings all the boys to the yard, and damn right, it's better than yours, damn right, it's better than yours; I could teach you, but I'd have to charge.

What a day! Unbelievable demand for #XboxOne. In the first 6 hours of pre-order availability, we've sold through most of our inventory.

Interesting, but misleading without context. How big is the inventory? 1 million units? Or 10?

This is getting intense. Lol, let the console war begin.

Sony went the Xbox Live GOLD way of restricting multiplayer to subscribed members for "less than $5 a month". So no free multiplayer. Other than that, what Benji said. Should've dropped the mic and left the stage right after "no restrictions on used games, you can trade, sell, lend freely, no need to check in periodically, features won't be disabled after 24 hours of not checking in." Wasn't expecting Sony to go so positively the other way on so many of Microsoft's restrictions.

Aesthetically speaking, the PlayStation 4 console isn't that much better than the Xbox One. The features, though? That announcement that countered all of Microsoft's unpopular features and allayed concerns about used games and the like? Monumental. That's basically completely sold me on the PS4; I'd say it's done the same for pretty much everyone that isn't fanboyishly clinging to Microsoft and it's probably won this generation's console war before it's even begun.

$399

[kevin02]

^ Yeah I would say Sony is winning E3 at least.

[Leftos]

And it's 100 dollars/euros cheaper at $399. Damn. Sony wins. No doubt about it.

It's 7 hours until we record our first daily E3 Recap Podcast for Day 0 of E3 2013. As the day wraps up, keep sounding off here and we'll make sure to get your comments on the show. With Microsoft, EA, Ubisoft and Sony press conferences all wrapped up, what are you most looking forward to? Name 3 things, and I'll do the vote counting.

I have no clue how we'll keep this episode to an hour, but we'll try.

[JaoSming]

I've been mulling PS+ for a while, but if it transferring up to PS4 I don't know why I'd skip out on free games for my PS3.

I did notice the eye was not included on the screen with the $399 price, so there probably will be additional bundles.

[benji]

I saw somewhere that it's $70 for PSEye, $60 for another controller. So there might be some kind of bundle with that and if there's a next gen Move? And maybe another with a Vita? That might explain the "three versions" rumor.

[benji]

Craig Davidson, Director of Global Marketing Microsoft. According to him, "Xbox One will surprise the world during E3." Ending with a resounding "We will kill Sony at E3".

[Sauru]

sony pretty much bent microsoft over and gave it to them hard
