It seems that no matter how hard they try, Microsoft seems to be getting it on all fronts. The latest trouble surrounds the release of the new Xbox One Chat Adapter. You know that $25 device that we told you about that allows you to connect your expensive headset from your Xbox 360 for use on your Xbox One.
