Xbox One Special Edition Sunset Overdrive Bundle pre-orders begin shipping

The Xbox One Special Edition Sunset Overdrive Bundle pre-orders have started shipping out. The bundle features a Cirrus White version of the Xbox One (similar to the very rare edition given by Microsoft to developers who worked on the next-gen console). One matching white controller as well as a code to download the Sunset Overdrive game as well as some in-game specials is also included. We've ordered one of these bundles and will have photos as well as hands-on impressions soon as we get it. 

Microsoft recently brought down the price of the Xbox One by $50.00 for US customers to US$350.00 just for the holiday season. Unfortunately Canadians don't get the offer, at least not yet.

Twitter adds dockable videos that will play clips while you browse

If we had picture-in-picture before, now we get picture-in-Twitter. After offering dockable audio cards, Twitter is turning to the moving picture counterpart. You can now watch clips as you browse through Twitter on Android or iOS. It will either let you watch a view in full screen or dock it to the bottom of the screen (like what you do on YouTube’s mobile app). A white progress bar shows how long the clip is and its audio will keep on playing if you plan to compose a tweet.

The opportunity in this lies in long-form videos. People are used to live-tweeting events but what if you don’t have to look at a TV screen anymore and just focus on your device? Advertisers can also use it to run short commercials as well.
