Official Xbox One Digital TV Tuner

ub3rg33k

As I was an early adopter of the HD TV, I currently have a huge 52″ 60Hz TV sat in the corner of my room, with a Standard Definition built in digital tuner. As I rarely watch live TV (as I tend to mostly steaming content), I’ve never been able to justify the upgrade to a TV with Freeview HD built in. I’ve looked at various PVR solutions, but again for the few occasions I want to watch a live channel in HD, it was hard to justify the price tag. Then Microsoft announced the HD Freeview digital tuner at just … Continue reading Official Xbox One Digital TV Tuner

Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter

  Being a fan of being able to plug in a pair of headphones into the bottom of my Dualshock 4 controller on the PS4, buying the Stereo Headset Adapter for the Xbox One controller was a no brainer. As I tend to need use my Tritton headset for late night gaming, I’ve had to turn down the TV when it started to get late and using the provided Xbox chat mic for my online gaming. This device allows me to plug any head/earphones into the 3.5mm jack on the bottom and direct all sound and chat via them. The controls … Continue reading Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter

Xbox One Wireless Controller – Titanfall Limited Edition

  It’s no secret that I love new shiny things, I love gaming and I love limited edition gaming shiny things. Over the last couple of years I’ve picked up the limited edition Halo 360 console, the Gears or War 3 360 console and have shelves of limited edition gaming ‘stuff’ all around my house. Last month when the limited edition Xbox One controller was announced, I instantly ordered having fallen in love with Titanfall at Eurogamer last year. As you can see from the below images, it’s simply an Xbox One controller inspired by C-101 Carbine assault rifle, which … Continue reading Xbox One Wireless Controller – Titanfall Limited Edition

Tritton Universal Kunai Wireless Headset

  With all the hype about the Sony wireless headphones for the PS4, and Microsoft’s headphones for the Xbox One, I decided to see if I could find something a little more universal. I had originally pre ordered the Sony PlayStation Wireless Stereo Headset 2.0 which provides 7.1 virtual surround sound, and also the Official Xbox One Stereo Headset, however, after a little research and cancelled them both. The cancelation was nothing to do with the products themselves, I just realised once the ‘new shiny’ hype had died down , I only occasionally needed to use headphone. This is normally … Continue reading Tritton Universal Kunai Wireless Headset

Elgato Game Capture HD

  Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve become quite addicted to watching and capturing videos using the features on the PS4 and the Xbox One. There is something strangely voyeuristic about being able to sit and watch somebody play through a game, and I’ve found myself spending many evenings doing so. Last year, I picked up a AverMedia Game Capture HD C281 for recording my Xbox and PS3 footage and have had mixed results with it. When it works, it’s great, simply record footage to the internal hard drive, then either pop out the drive or copy to a USB … Continue reading Elgato Game Capture HD

Xbox One

  It seems a lifetime ago since the Xbox One was announced, and today I finally took delivery of my very own next generation console. The past six months have been a very interesting for gamers, seeing the Microsoft change their approach multiple times in response to feedback from the gaming community, and now we get to see if it was all worth it. So first the hardware, the Xbox One itself is a heavy beast, and rather chunky too, noticeably heavier than the Xbox 360. The power supply is also a massive brick, again noticeably larger than the 360s, … Continue reading Xbox One
