The Xbox One will soon get functionality that lets users take screenshots, Xbox boss Phil Spencer says. This feature, which has been promised for more than six months, should launch in the next few months.

“Screenshots are coming early this year. I know it has been a question for quite a while,” Spencer said on the Xbox Wire. “We delivered themes, and I think a natural add-on to themes are screenshots.”

“Giving people more ability to share their great gaming moments on the platform–whether it’s just as a screenshot, as their background, or through many of the different social networks that we allow people to share their content through is a long-term commitment that we have,” he added.

Back in May 2014, Spencer revealed that the ability to take screenshots on Xbox One was one of the features Microsoft engineers were working to deliver through a future update. One of the reasons why we haven’t seen this feature yet is because it’s “a little more technically challenging” than Spencer first imagined.

“Two weeks ago, [Microsoft engineers] think they’ve found a good solution for screenshots. They’re working on it. They know people want it,” he said in October. “The team has a path to getting it done, and now it’s just prioritizing.”

By comparison, the PlayStation 4 has allowed users to take and share screenshots since launch in November 2013. The Xbox One’s lack of screenshot functionality has put a damper on some game functionality, as Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor‘s Photo Mode is significantly limited on Xbox One.

Microsoft’s newly announced Xbox One price cut, which brings the price for the current-generation system down from $400 to $350 in the US effective Friday, is only temporary. The price will eventually return to $400, Microsoft executive Michael Nichols says, though it’s unclear when that will be.

Yesterday’s official announcement of the price drop made no mention of an end-date for the new, lower price point, suggesting it was a permanent price drop. However, Nichols confirmed in an interview with Polygon that the price drop was only temporary but wouldn’t say when it will end.

“It’s a temporary reduction and we’re not announcing an end date at this point,” Nichols said. “We want to see how people react to it.”

The price drop announcement yesterday caught some by surprise, as it came just 12 days after Microsoft increased the Xbox One price from $350–which it retailed for during the holidays–back up to $400.

Nichols said Microsoft “made a bunch of moves to engage fans better” on Xbox One over the past year, including the launch of high-profile new games, improvements to Xbox Live, and the initial price drop, which saw the system’s introductory price fall from $500 to $400.

He added that Microsoft was “as aggressive as we could be,” going on to say that “the results were staggering.” Today’s latest price drop is meant to continue that momentum.

“Looking at just how much engagement there was over the holidays with usage of the system and the advocacy from our fans, led us to do a new promotion,” Nichols said.

The Xbox One outsold the PlayStation 4 in the US for November and December, though on a worldwide basis, the PS4 was the top-selling console for all of 2014.

[UPDATE 4] Bidding for Stadium Events has finished, with the final bid sitting at $35,100.

[UPDATE 3] The high bid for Stadium Events has dropped to $32,252, suggesting the earlier bids of close to $100,000 were fraudulent. In addition, bidding is now only open to pre-approved buyers.

[UPDATE 2] Now, after more than 80 individual bids from collectors, the eBay price has reached $100,000.

[UPDATE 1] After 19 bids from 14 different bidders, the eBay auction for ultra-rare NES game Stadium Events has now reached $40,300. We also spoke with the seller, who answered some of our questions.

You’ve had Stadium Events since the ’90s, so why sell now?

“Felt it was the right time to sell this item.”

Did you consider donating it to Nintendo for their archival purposes?

“I worked for Nintendo for 22 years and do not believe they have any interest in having this game…..they are welcome to bid on it if they do want it!”

How did you come to own this copy of Stadium Events?

“While working at Nintendo games are often available to employees at end of life cycles.

I did not realize the value until 2011, when a story came out about this game being sold on eBay for $44,000. I told my wife ‘I know I have that game.’ I collect a lot of different items, so after looking through several boxes I found it! Since I was still working for Nintendo I could not sell this item for profit, which is a smart company policy. When I left in 2012, it was possible for me to sell this game.”

The original story is below.

Just days after it came online, an eBay auction for ultra-rare NES game Stadium Events has reached about the price of a new car. Bidding opened on January 5 at $5,000 and quickly rose to where it sits today at $22,100. A total of nine people have submitted bids so far.

The game, which saw a very limited release in 1987 and was paired with the short-lived Family Fun Fitness pad, is considered one of the first exercise games. It’s incredibly rare on its own, but adding to the appeal of this auction is the fact that the copy remains factory sealed.

On top of that, the seller says the game–which is in excellent condition–has been verified by the Video Game Authority, a group that grades and authenticates older games. It’s also housed in an “archival” case that protects it from UV rays, ensuring its preservation for years to come.

Writing on the auction page, the seller says they used to work at Nintendo and have had the game since the 1990s. We’ve reached out to the seller, asking for more details about the auction, which officially ends January 15.

This isn’t the first time Stadium Events has showed up on eBay. In 2010, a factory sealed copy of the game sold for an incredible $41,300, according to a report from Kotaku. It’s also not the only Stadium Events game now on eBay, though it appears to be the only factory sealed copy.
