Though the initial lawsuit against Valve was dismissed, Wolfire amended their suit in May 2022 and the legal battle was back on.

    Xbox One Bundles Now Starting at $299

    Microsoft seems to have quietly reduced the price of the Xbox One down to $299 (USD) for the 500GB bundles. This is a $50 price reduction. The 1TB bundles are now $319, compared to the $369 it was previously.

The user, dieklobrille, claims that the trailer is already sitting on Microsoft's servers and is just waiting to go live to the public at some point ahead of E3...
