During the months leading to the Xbox One release, there have been talks about how Microsoft wants to transform the Xbox One into a developer kit in the future.

While there have been no follow-ups for this bit of an incentive for developers and non-developers alike, there has been a report from GamingBolt that points to an incident where one user had unlocked the developer settings in the Xbox One.

The prospect of turning your Xbox One into your very own dev kit seems fun--otherwise, Microsoft won't even introduce the idea anyway--there are also limitations and dangers to unlocking this without Microsoft's go-signal.

According to an Xbox One developer who had responded to some of the issues seen on the console, commercial users should keep out of the developer settings for the time being.

"Please don't mess with anything here for the time being, especially the sandbox ID. You risk pitting your box into a boot loop," said the developer as quoted by GamingBolt. "I have no idea how far along the ID@Xbox program is. There are many concerns such as privacy, security, stability, etc... that need to be sorted out before we can allow anyone and everyone to simple sideload an app onto their box."

Halo 5 and the Xbox One

Now that the Xbox One is already in the market, the next plan--at least ideally--is for Microsoft to ensure a delivery of the promised and teased games for the next-gen console, as well as the assurance that there won't be a dull period without game releases.

One of these awaited releases is the Halo 5 or the Halo that was supposed to be released for the Xbox One. Yet there are spares details involving this franchise.

Updates for the PS4 games: Two rumoured games coming to Sony's next-gen console.

"Unlike some franchises that managed through 1,000 people, Halo is 343 and that team obviously has tight control. They are our Halo team. A discussion around having a Halo game at launch--a true Halo at launch, meaning like a Halo 4 or 5-size game--would have been something we'd have had to start two or three years ago," said Microsoft's Phil Spencer to Kotaku.

This only means that Microsoft isn't rushing 343 Industries in developing the game, which is good, as it means that the quality won't be compromised just for the sake of competing with launch titles. But it would be great to get updates as early as 2014, as to the progress of the franchise.

Xbox One Complete Bundle announced and priced

Sony's PS4 and PS Vita bundle has already been announced to come out sometime before the year ends. Now Microsoft seems to be following in the footsteps of delivering a better console bundle for gamers.

OXM reports that U.S. residents may be happy to know that you can get an even better bundle (so long as you are willing to pay a higher price) for your Xbox One. The Xbox One Complete Bundle is already available on the Microsoft Store, and it will have it with a 12-month Gold subscription, two games of your choice as detailed in the Complete Bundle page, three years of Microsoft Complete coverage for hardware malfunctions, and the console.

All of these will bring your spending money down at $700, though it is a good deal of saving at $50 if you want to buy each one separately anyway. There have not yet been any reports of an Xbox One Complete Bundle in the UK, but it may be dependent on the success of reception in North America.
