the console will not come bundled WITH a headset, Sony to announce several more PS4 games at

Gamescom, and more! Hey guys, Jess here! And this is the Curse Weekly Roundup.

First up - Minecon's location and dates have been revealed. Minecon 2013 will be taking

place in Orlando, Florida, November 2nd and 3rd. The location itself wasn't a HUGE surprise

after Jeb let it slip several weeks ago that it would be taking place somewhere on the

east coast of the US - that, paired Mojang's contract with Disney, led many to believe

it would be taking place actually AT Disneyworld. So far Mojang has only confirmed the city,

so I guess we'll have to wait and see. What do you guys think? Is Minecon 2013 gonna be

at Disneyworld? Leave me a comment and let me know!

Next, late last week Microsoft revealed details on the Xbox one's headset. It's very similar

to the OLD version of the Xbox 360 headset, with the volume and mute controls on the part

that plugs into the controller for easy access. However, this new console's headset will use

a wideband voice codec for sharper voice chat.

A few days after revealing these details, Microsoft dropped the news that the Xbox One

Headset, which they deem a "must-have," willd NOT come bundled with the console like the

360 did, and instead you'll have to purchase it separately from the $500 system. Oh yes,

they've stated they're sticking with that price tag, by the way. Fortunately, we are

still capable of using third-party headsets with the Xbox One.

Moving on, Sony has revealed plans to announce several more PS4 games at Gamescom. Where

other companies tend to see E3 as the only important game conference, Sony has a history

of giving Gamescom nearly equal weight. And while they haven't nailed down a firm release

date, Sony also confirmed that the PS4 will launch in Europe before Christmas - maybe

we'll see a release date announcement AT Gamescom?

Next, wanna win a 3DS XL and other awesome prizes? Marriland's having a Pokemon X and

Y Giveaway Bonanza where you could win a preorder of Pokemon X or Y, a 3DS XL Limited Pikachu

Yellow Edition, or other cool prizes. It's SO easy to enter the sweepstakes, we'll put

a link to it in the description. The sweepstakes is open to most of North America and Europe

- and uh, I don't see anything about Curse employees being ineligible....so that means

I can enter, right?

Finally, Gamepedia has gotten a redesign. We listened to the community feedback we got

from you guys and took it into account to make Gamepedia more streamlined, allowing

quicker access to a variety of resources, so definitely check out the new design at

gamepedia.com, and let us know if you have any additional feedback.

Well, that's all for this week! Be sure to subscribe if you haven't already, and give

us a thumbs up for more gaming news! Once again I'm Jess - thanks for watching, enjoy

the game.
