**XBOX ONE** Official Thread

Didnt notice that particular point....I had always just assumed it was when playing any game :)

It's not always easy to tell. You might not be specifically playing online, but things like borderlands and dead island use a constant connection if one is available, so that will stop the download.
 
Don't like to get too involved in the one vs other stuff... but looking at those screens from NFS, the PS4 certainly looks a fair bit sharper.

Initially I thought it might be down to upscaling (no, it's not a focus thing, as everything is a bit blurrier in the XB One screen, apart from the DOF on the background), but then I noticed the jaggies on the roof lights on the PS4 version, which don't seem to be on the XB One version.

Just got me wondering if the XB One has post process antialiasing enabled, as I know that tends to blur things (and why I typically leave it off), and the PS4 doesn't?

Also, the shadowing looks better to me on the XB One version. If the difference is SSAO vs HBSO, that could explain it, as even on BF3 on PC, I preferred SSAO - HBAO just looked a little off to me.
 
I'd like to know if the one allows downloads whilst playing an online game.

I'm getting forza 5, dead rising 3 and ghosts, I'll play DR3 first.

Upscaling? Both are 1080p native.
 
Youve got a bit more protection, not as much as a credit card - you may want to google what fraud protection it gives you so you know next time.

The company number checks out at companies house, but they did just change their name from Batterylink Limited in April this year...

I sent the company a cancellation email anyway and the bank said a transaction is not showing yet but we shall see, im really peeved don't even know why I ordered it just going crazy from seeing websites out of stock all day, feel like an idiot now.

They have just sent me an email:

We regret to inform you, that we are unable to fulfil your order, therefore we have cancelled your order. Please note NO payment has been taken and your card has not been charged.

So if I get charged now I would easily win a dispute no?

Maybe its just my natural skeptism/wariness, but the old saying, if it seems to good to be true, it probably is, is often right !
Hopefully I am wrong and your onto a winner.

Edit : just seen the above.

Agreed.

So, what game is everyone going to play first? My console order and some of the games are coming separately, so assuming the games are here first, it'll be Dead Rising 3. If the console bundle comes first, it'll be BF4.

Ill probably start off with Forza then move onto COD Ghosts at some point. I'll probably get mine fri after work as i really dont fancy trekking down to my game store at midnight to get it as firstly i need to be up early for work next day, secondly the state my town centre is in these days with all these shady characters...id rather not take that chance to get mugged.

Not only that both mine and the missus cars are in the garage being serviced so we will be without cars for a few days.

Of course you would, they emailed you to say they cancelled the order and have stated they wont take any payment from your card. If they do then you will get your money back, just keep the email for a few days and check your account to see if any money has gone out.
