There's trouble at every turn for SuperDaE (aka Dylan Wheeler): the Aussie at the centre of the alleged theft of an Xbox Durango Development Kit before the premiere of the new console a few months ago. Now he's being accused by police of refusing to comply with police to decrypt his MacBook, but he's refuting the claims right now.

The Australian hacker who breached Sony, Microsoft, Epic, Valve, Blizzard and other gaming companies before being raided by authorities in February is facing an array of unseemly charges, according to a report by an Australian wire service.

You might have noticed that this week's Xbox One event was very... Western. Microsoft's snazzy entertainment functions are all designed for American televisions. The games — FIFA, Call of Duty, Quantum Break — were all made by Western developers.

Remember this? The console we used to call Durango was covered in black-and-white stripes? We couldn't show the pre-release machine to you then. But now you can see it, as featured on GameTrailers' Xbox One behind-the-scenes special and spotted on Twitter by @Talaviir. Maybe it was for security, maybe it was just to look cool. They do this for cars that aren't officially out, too.

The Xbox One controller looks a lot like the Xbox 360 controller, but the new pad actually sports some subtle but relevant differences. Let's take a video tour, shall we?

Achievements are one of the defining elements of the Xbox experience. Naturally, Microsoft will include them in the Xbox One. But they're not going to work like you remembered them, not exactly. There's more to them now.

EA Sports had an outsized presence at the Xbox One's debut today, peeling the tape off something called the Ignite Engine and teasing a "very special relationship" with the console. But it offered few specifics of that beyond some exclusive DLC for the FIFA franchise.

The Verge reports that the Xbox One will not be backward compatible with Xbox 360 titles. That is according to Mark Whitten, Microsoft's vice president for Xbox Live.

Steven Spielberg will collaborate with 343 Industries on an exclusive Halo television series to be brought to Xbox One.

With all that next-gen processing power, you didn't expect Xbox One to launch without a Forza title, did you? Here is Forza Motorsport 5, from Turn 10 Studios. It will be available at launch.

Today during the reveal of the Xbox One, Microsoft unveiled the new Kinect. This is what it looks like.

FIFA, Madden, NBA Live and UFC will all launch for Xbox One in the next year, Andrew Wilson, EA Sports' head, just said at the Xbox One event. They will be powered by the new EA Sports Ignite engine.

Microsoft's Marc Whitten just lifted the hood on the Xbox One's technical specifications. In short: 8GB of RAM, USB 3.0, Wi-Fi Direct, a Blu-ray disc drive, 64-bit architecture and "practically silent operation".

As was anticipated, the new Xbox One will function as a set-top cable box, allowing users to switch between TV and gaming video by voice command. In today's Xbox One reveal, the console was shown swapping between DVD/streaming video playback, the cable input, a video game and its internet functionalities.

In T-minus, oh, 45 minutes, Microsoft pops the top on its next console. You may have heard reports of buses, badges and big tents over social media. Our editor-in-chief, Stephen Totilo sends back this look at where the big news is going down today.

While I happen to think the "console war" is one of the dumbest things ever conceived by humankind, there are few things as entertaining as watching corporations snipe at one another.

From the time the Wii U was first unveiled right through to today, the eve of the new Xbox's unveiling, I've found myself feeling something very strange.

Skittles or Steak? I hate to admit it, but I like both. For me, it is not a choice. Nothing quite works like a steak for dinner. But, when I go to the movies, and I want to indulge, it’s Skittles for me. It is a bit embarrassing to admit. For me, it’s Skittles and Steak. I like both. You must be wondering what this has to do with games. Or why Kotaku would run my piece on candy and beef. This will take a minute, but let me explain.

Microsoft is holding a conference tomorrow for its big reveal: the next Xbox. That means there is one day left for the internet to have fun with rumours, jokes and parodies.
