Xbox One Set To Launch On November 22

Dave Knott writes "Microsoft announced today that its upcoming Xbox One console will launch later this year on November 22 in 13 territories, including Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, United Kingdom, and United States. This is exactly one week after the announced street date for Sony's PlayStation 4, ending speculation about whether Microsoft would try to launch ahead of their closest rival's next-generation console. It is also the same day that the Xbox 360 launched in 2005." The supply of pre-order consoles is mostly exhausted already.

I get a funny picture in my head every time I think of the guy who must run MS's Public Relations division. I'm picturing a cross between Dustin Hoffman's character in "Rain Man," Leonardo DeCaprio's character in "What's eating Gilbert Grape," and a doorstop. And a dumb doorstop at that.

Where are these video games outside?
Also when I get home from work it tends to be dark other than the middle of summer. Plus what are my friends wives going to say about this?

Also real ammo is expensive these days. The last time I took the long guns out I spent more in a couple hours on ammo than I have spent in months on video games.

Anniversary

It is also the same day that the Xbox 360 launched in 2005.

It's also the 50th anniversary of the assassination of JFK... coincidence? Actually, yes, I'm pretty sure it's just a coincidence.
