PC gamers might have a hard time switching from keyboard and mouse to a gamepad, and if you would like to use your keyboard and mouse with nextgen console such as Xbox One, today we have some good news for you.

According to the latest reports, it seems that Xbox One might support keyboard and mouse input someday in the future, and this is great news for all PC gamers who just can't get used to Xbox One controller. During the interview with Newegg Arcade, Microsoft's Larry "Major Nelson" Hyrb revealed that mouse and keyboard compatibility is possible, but it won't be available from day one. According to him, there's a great SDK for developers, and with SDK the possibilities are endless, therefore, we might see keyboard and mouse support someday in the future.

Keyboard and mouse support on Xbox One would be great, especially if you're a fan of first person shooters or strategy games, but sadly, nothing has been officially announced.

“Blue Light of Death” is a major problem for PlayStation 4 owners

Posted: 20 Nov 2013 09:17 AM PST

We all remember the infamous Red Ring of Death from Xbox 360, and speaking of gaming systems and issues, it seems that Sony PlayStation 4 has few of these issues as well.

Customers are reporting that their PlayStation 4 is experiencing issue called "Blue Light of Death", which means that the light on the PlayStation 4 keeps pulsing blue, meaning that console isn't sending signals to the TV. In normal circumstances, the light would turn from blue to white, but if you're experiencing "Blue Light of Death" you will get stuck with a blank TV screen. Sony has posted some troubleshooting instructions on the official support forums, and according to these instructions in order to fix this issue you need to press and hold the power button for seven seconds, unplug the PlayStation 4 and power it on again. Sadly, these instructions haven't fixed the issue for most gamers, and we still don't know what is the cause of this issue.
