If you’ve been waiting for the Xbox One price to drop before upgrading to a next-generation console, well, it looks like your patience has paid off. When the Xbox One debuted one year ago, gamers had to shell out $499 for the console. But now Microsoft is offering up some sweet deals and there are now ways to buy an Xbox One for less than $250 as the holiday season approaches. But there are also a bevy of bundle deals available for $349 that come with new games like Assassin’s Creed Unity, Sunset Overdrive, and Madden NFL 15. These games retail for $60, so you’re essentially paying about $290 for the Xbox One itself in this case. Even more, Neowin points out that Microsoft is offering another 5 percent off all orders at the Microsoft Store if customers sign up for text message alerts. So, if you trade in your old console, buy an Xbox One bundle, and use the 5 percent discount, you’ll end up paying less than $200 for the console itself — not a bad deal. It’s even better when you consider all the upgrades Microsoft has made to the Xbox One since last year.

Update: Bethesda's Pete Hines has explained that the listing was a bug. "We have been working on the CMS that runs our sites, " he said. "A bug caused platforms that don't exist to show up for some games." As for the email tease? Hines says that's a hoax, too. Original story: Will The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim be released for the new consoles? A product listing for the game on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 temporarily popped up on Bethesda's website overnight. OnlySP spotted and captured the information-which was quickly removed-alongside an e-mail tease from the publisher suggesting an announcement on January 12. That's this Sunday, which would traditionally be a peculiar day for a big unveiling. A version of Skyrim on the new consoles would almost certainly bring the game in line with the PC version, which offers a far smoother, more detailed, and ultimately snappier experience. If such a port is in the works, then hopefully Bethesda could find a way for 360/PS3 users to bring their hulking saves across to their latest machines.

On November 2, PlayStation Portable game God of War: Ghost of Sparta hit stores. But its developer, Ready at Dawn, is already questioning the rationale for creating PSP games. Don't blame the hardware, blame piracy. Ready at Dawn's Ru Weerasuriya talks to game site VG247 about the PSP's piracy problem. According to the game designer, "It's getting to the point where it doesn't make sense to make games on it." Both the PSP and the Nintendo DS experience rampant piracy; however, Weerasuriya confesses he isn't as familiar with the situation for the DS. He adds that flash cartridges make it possible to pirate "practically every single game that's ever come out for it". A former Blizzard employee, he points out that the PC industry controls piracy through things like online multiplayer and internet connectivity. About the PSP, Weerasuriya says, "It's a tough call right now to say what's going to happen to it and where it's going to go, but it definitely hurts a lot of developers out there who are trying to make great games." Ready at Dawn has developer three PSP titles: Daxter, God of War: Chains of Olympus and God of War: Ghost of Sparta.

As we’ve mentioned before, on April 8, Microsoft stopped supporting and releasing updates for one of its most popular operating systems, Windows XP. The only exception the company has made since then was in May, when it released a patch to resolve a major vulnerability in Internet Explorer. P anda Security however, has continued offering protection and support for all our customers with XP installed on their computers. And that’s not all. Recently, put to the test the protection capabilities and performance impact of 23 antivirus products for Windows XP, and, got the perfect score: 18 out of 18. This result confirms it as the best free option for protecting this operating system and comes on top of the excellent results recently obtained in AV-Comparatives and Virus Bulletin. Advice for Windows XP users One of the best tips to prevent attacks from hackers is to keep your system updated. After Microsoft’s termination of support for Windows XP, new vulnerabilities or security holes will start to appear that leave an open door on your computer and increase the risk of infection. That’s why we always recommend installing a good antivirus to monitor these threats, and you should ensure it is always active and updated.

Are you a fan of the Call of Duty franchise? Are you perhaps looking forward to playing Black Ops 3 which is scheduled for a release in the next couple of months? If you are and you haven’t gotten yourself a PlayStation 4 yet, perhaps you should, and the good news is that Sony has announced a new bundle for fans. This new bundle is basically a 1TB PlayStation 4 console. However as you can see in the photo above, this PS4 has been themed with Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 graphics. Basically it’s a black PS4 with some orange outlining the console in the shape of “III” to signify the third installment of the Black Ops games. The Du...

Despite its many achievements, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas will likely go down in history as the game that introduced "Hot Coffee" to the world. You know, that whole pseudo-scandal which promised to corrupt our children via the awkward humping of crude, polygonal humanoids? Forget the fact that this content could only be accessed by third-party hacking devices, along with the M for Mature rating right there on the box. Hell in a handbasket! Living the gang life. It's a shame, then, because San Andreas stands as the one entry in the series where the full Grand Theft Auto experience truly came together. Of course, Grand Theft Auto 3 and Vice City certainly deserved to set the world on fire, but giving San Andreas an additional year to stew in development made one a hell of a difference. Now that our eyes have absorbed current open-world wonders like The Witcher and Assassin's Creed, the Renderware-powered San Andreas may seem slipshod and clumsy, but its technical competence stands far above the previous two games, making the many options of its sandboxy gameplay far easier to wrangle. (Which is probably why it's the only game of the GTA3 trilogy I've ever been able finish.) Though San Andreas dials back a bit on the amount of player freedom—I'm sure you all remember those missions where you couldn't kill a target until the game removed its invincibility flag—it remains Rockstar's last take on the "old" Grand Theft Auto: a mostly silly mayhem simulator more interested in movie references than statements on the human condition. And the amount of flexibility found in San Andreas' world extends to the protagonist as well. CJ has his own goals and motivations, and makes for a much more sympathetic hero than the previous two games' sociopaths, but still, his "character sheet" (to use Dungeons & Dragons lingo) contains more stats than a Dark Souls character. Rockstar might have gone a little overboard—both diet and exercise play an important part of CJ's development—but as you get through more of the story, CJ's talents naturally improve, making those dozens of hours poured into San Andreas just a little more rewarding. See the sights and slums of Los Santos. More than ten years later, the whole "map littered with hundreds of icons" has become de rigeur for open-world games, but in 2004, the idea of endless activities in a digital world still made for a compelling premise. And Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas holds no shortage of things to do. CJ can take over territory by clearing it of opposing gang members, giving the world a feeling of persistence that past GTA games didn't have. All of the standard vehicle missions are there, of course, along with new additions like driving trucks, trains, and (somewhat regrettably) escorting sex workers to visit their Johns.
