I think he meant Bloodborne got no love via a pro patch which is true and sucks. Not that Quantum Break is more popular than Bloodborne.

I think the only differences are the console itself has a slightly different texture and the controller says Scorpio Edition on it.

There's no reason to want the Scorpio Edition. If you can happen to get it then cool, but you're not missing anything by not having it.

The console and controller both say “Project Scorpio” on them, and it comes with a free vertical stand.

Bloodborne does rum slightly better with the Pro's boost mode. Trouble spots are smoother.

You do indeed get higher framerates but the frame timing is still unsteady, which means there's quite a lot of juddery movement especially in area transitions. Then again if these things bother you and/or you even know what frame timing means, you're probably not playing games on console.

The Scorpio edition gets a free stand for vertical use but that's the only benefit. The green font (especially on the controller) is so ugly that I switched to regular xboxox.

The lack of good headset options is still bothering me though. Seems like Turtle Beach 800x is the best but they are obscenely expensive, and it's Turtle Beach.

US sweepstakes laws are actually pretty strict because ending up with your sweepstakes being legally "gambling" can be a major crime in most states.

I got one of these and am happy for it for both my Xbox and Ps4 gaming needs. Here's the WireCutter review that convinced me to give 'em a try.

I ended up finding the more expensive model for less money used on Amazon and bought that and am happy with it.

The Duke was the main reason I chose Xbox over PS2 back in 2001.

Although I also chose the Sega Saturn over the PS1 due to the superior controller...

If they can slap a proper d-pad mechanism under the d-pad itself it'd be pretty rad for the upcoming original Xbox titles on Xbox One. Some games just don't feel as good to play when you're using the bumpers instead of the original white and black button placement.

I have those and they're great, other than the weird method they have for adjusting your mic's volume. There's only four volume levels and they're named after how loud the ambient noise in your room is. I don't know if they're worth the money but they sound better than my actual 5.1 speakers.

They got it right with the smaller Japanese version they started including with every system worldwide after everyone hated the Duke.

What was bad about it? It was basically the 360 controller 1.0

Edit: oh the part about it being the first. What I should have said is that it was the first decent game controller for modern 3D games.

I'll second that, with the caveat that 90% of what makes it good was there on the Dreamcast first.
