Windows Short: Xbox One Prices
June is being a busy month wherever there are, with fairs and presentations of all kinds. In the middle of post-E3 hangover and with all the commotion mounted, Microsoft has been forced to reverse some of its measures on used games. Samsung has also been a protagonist, finishing presenting all that device that they had left to invent. And the possible sale of Nokia has reappeared on the net as it usually does from time to time.
In Xataka, they have also had a new edition of their event 'Meet The Experts', this time discussing the current state and future of mobile technologies in Spain.Meanwhile, the Windows universe has run its course with a good deal of news and just as much worth collecting before it gets lost in the torrent of information on the web.
- Each new generation of consoles brings up the debate about the price at which future games will arrive. To calm things down, Microsoft has confirmed that Xbox One first-party games will have starting at $59.99.
- Although it may seem like a minor project, Microsoft continues to work in the background on its social network So.cl. During this week we have seen some improvements, such as a meme generator, something that cannot be missing in any successful social network.
- Bing continues to receive updates and new features, at least in the United States. The latest is Bing Boards, a new service announced this week that aims to help create content tailored to the search engine, accumulating images, videos and links on the same site.
- Redmond is so convinced of the robustness of Windows 8.1 that they have launched three new programs with juicy prizes of up to $100,000 for those able to find major security flaws in the next system update and in IE 11.
- During these days Microsoft has also taught new ad formats to integrate into Modern UI applications, with a more dynamic format and taking advantage of the horizontal scroll in an intelligent way.
- And since we are talking about applications, it is worth ending the section by linking to the new official blog from Redmond: Windows App Builder; focused on developing and selling applications for Windows.
