PermalinkMemorial Day weekend - No #FreeCodeFriday, other thoughts
So, I'll be away from electronic devices much of this weekend, so #FreeCodeFriday is taking a hiatus.

I've had a few days to digest the information coming from the Xbox One reveal, and I think I'm still getting this day one. The only change I see coming from what was announced, is I will now be working hard on playing my backlog of games (and probably not completing all of the achievements in most of the titles) from now until the day it launches.

I'm not sure I will keep my Xbox 360 around to play older titles, but this plan may change as things are revealed.

I know I've spent lots of money on Xbox 360 content, and I feel a little jaded that there was no type of plan to talk about moving that content to the new platform. However, I also realize past 2014 I wouldn't much care about Xbox 360 content (except for my RockBand library) once more Xbox One titles start shipping.

As for now, pre-order un-cancelled.
