When Kinect launched for Xbox 360, it was immediately compatible with Windows PCs. When Xbox One's Kinect launches, that won't be the case.
Microsoft confirmed that the Xbox One's Kinect sensor was built specifically with the new console in mind, meaning that it has a proprietary connector that the company does not intend to release a USB adapter for. However, a next-generation Kinect for Windows sensor is in the works that will serve that particular niche.
Honestly, this news isn't particularly surprising. The first Kinect released as a peripheral several years after the Xbox 360. Microsoft intends for the Xbox One's Kinect to be an essential, integrated component of the console. Giving users the option to take it into another room, leaving the Xbox One a useless brick doesn't seem very cohesive to Microsoft's vision.

We're never going to get that Mortal Kombat / Street Fighter crossover, so what are we to do? Harness our "Imagination," that's what!
ScrewAttack's DEATH BATTLE! pits the big bosses of the MK and SF universes against one another to see who's got the nuts and who will spill his guts. M. "Tuesday" Bison surges with the vile energies of Psycho Power, while Shao Kahn has... a big hammer.
Okay, it's no Goku vs. Superman, but what is, honestly?

The Walking Dead: 400 Days is DLC, meant to hold us over as we wait impatiently for the second season of Telltale's vaunted adventure game series, comprised of five different vignettes, each featuring a different playable character. In this video, Sean Ainsworth, the game's director, and Harrison Pink, one of its two designers, shed a little more light on 400 Days and how it relates to the existing and upcoming seasons.
"The choices that you made in season one will come into play in 400 Days," Ainsworth said, "and then the events of 400 Days may or may not come into play in season two, depending on your choices." A bit vague, but it's to be expected of such a story-heavy game. I've loving the simultaneous Creepshow and Ducktales parallel, though.
If you haven't watched the 400 Days trailer yet, check it out here.The DLC will be available on all platforms season one released on, for $4.99.
