Microsoft Explains How DLC Works With Backward Compatibility
Microsoft has detailed how DLC released for Xbox 360 games will work with backward compatibility on the Xbox One.
Any disc-based or downloadable DLC you've already purchased will be available for games via backward compatibility. However, as games are essentially emulated, you will not be able to purchase any new DLC via the Xbox store on your Xbox One.
Talking to Game Informer, a Microsoft representative said: "we will support both digital and disc-based entitlements for Xbox 360 games running on Xbox One.
"Right now, backward compatibility does not emulate the Xbox 360 store and new Xbox 360 games can be purchased on your Xbox 360 or via Xbox.com."

Here Are the Known New Xbox One Experience Update Issues
Microsoft has acknowledged issues with the roll-out of the new Xbox One Experience update.
Offering "troubleshooting tips for some of the experiences we couldn't fully polish for launch of the New Xbox One Experience", Microsoft has detailed fixes for several issues, including problems with the first boot-up after update, content installation, and accessory and accessibility issues.
If you're having trouble booting up your console after the update and your console idles on the green Xbox One animated logo, you're advised to leave the console and wait up to 15 minutes. If after 15 minutes has passed the screen still hasn't changed, you should "hold the power button on the front of the console for 10 seconds until the console powers down. Wait 15 seconds, then power the console back on".

November 12 is also the day Nintendo will broadcast its first Nintendo Direct since the passing of former CEO Satoru Iwata. The company has been mum on details, which is par for the course for Nintendo. However, we've got 11 predictions about tomorrow's Direct.

7 of the Weirdest Video Game Commercials Ever Made
Sometimes, video game commercials skip the straightforward approach and go in truly bizarre directions.
That's how we end up with a plastic baby laughing at a PlayStation 3 to sell a home console. Or a man literally exploding full of food to advertise the amount of content in a Super Nintendo game. It's strange stuff.
But we want to celebrate this offbeat approach. So we have compiled seven of the weirdest TV commercials below.
So what do you think? The grandma eating night crawlers for the Earthworm Jim commercial is pretty messed up. And so is the banned TV spot showing a zombie breastfeeding a baby. But let us know what advertisement weirded you out the most in the comments below.
