Xbox One : Thread 03

[Brad]

Microsoft tweeting at Sony congratulating them on their launch in America. Sickening stuff..

Trying to come across "All good stuff chaps, best of luck and all that what ho!". Would love it if Sony's response on Xbox One launch day was a total fanboy trolling of some sort. No grace or goodwill lol.

[MisterBubbles]

They should totally send a message , but somehow get the resolution looking **** all 720p last gen looking, i'd LMAO if they did.

[arcnas]

Shopto clearly stated that even if you get shipping confirmation all orders go out next Thursday for Friday delivery , so I reckon we have no chance of early delivery gambit, I assume you just ordered the console gambit, as I've got loads of separate games, and I'd assume they won't have them all in stock yet.

[gambit6613]

Yeah i think your probably right arcnas, but as i said there would be little point even recieving it early as unlike days of old the console will be of little use with out Xbox Live and games to play.

I have only pre-ordered the console, i may start ordering a few games next week but am actually looking forward to going into town for my big game blow out of the year Have been resisting buying any current gen verison of games such as AC4 and BF4 etc in order to play on Xbone One. I cannot wait, my money is really burning a whole in my pocket lol.

[arcnas]

Ok I assume that's why you have a early shipping e mail, I have nothing, but I've got the machine, and 4 games ordered, which it assume they probably won't have stock of until Tuesday. So will probably get my e mail then I reckon.

[Synthesthesia]

Never heard it called the Xbone One before! Haha. No movement on my shopto order either, got 3 games ordered with it (4 including Forza I guess).

[arcnas]

I can't see us getting shipping confirmation until they have seperate games in stock, probably Wednesday. On another note I can't believe its out next week, the 9 year lifespan of the 360 has gone scarily quick, let's hope this time in 9 years on not on my 4th Xbox one, which is where I'm at with the 360

8 years.

Time flies when you're having fun...

To say I'm excited is an understatement,. I just spend a few hours clearing all my other consoles away in a sort of purge to have only one console as my main. It does feel kind of a good time to do it now although no doubt some of them will get hooked up again at some point

You haven't watched the latest Blunty video by any chance?

[spinpug666]

Anyone get their Amazon orders showing up yet?
My XboxOne COD Ghosts arrived this morning.

Haha me too . I can't wait till Friday

[MarioMark]

Dunno how true this is but TheHut apparently have Xbox One Day Edition pre orders left http://www.thehut.com/xbox-one-conso.../10807959.html

It's not clear in the listings but it does say 'All day one editions of the Xbox One Console will include a full game edition of FIFA 14' in the description.

It's easy to cancel if any one wants to risk a last minute order.

Edit:

and to add, on the PS4 listing it says 'Pre-orders are no longer guaranteed for day one release.' where as it doesn't on the Xbox listing.

I suspect poor IR compatibility will end up being one of the bugbears at launch, especially with AV receivers and stuff like that.

[arcnas]

Anyone hoping for an early shopto delivery , well head over to there site, you can see a picture of the packages with dirty great sticker saying do not send until 21st, so it looks like Microsoft are clamping down to make sure it's not to us early, I know I got my wii u Thursday from them on launch of last year.
