Now interested in getting an Xbox One - though what are the chances of getting it on Friday without pre-ordering?
Ah cheers dude, I was thinking they must be more! 1800 wouldn't go far.
They be coming in all the Amazon s in the UK also not just this one.

Ahh I understand. Thanks a lot for responding (and so quickly too)!
I swear to god if I get HDNL for my Xbox One delivery from Amazon UK I will be disappointed. Never had a good experience from them when using Amazon. DPD would be awesome cause they are literally 5 mintunes drive from my home.

HDNL don't exist anymore. They're Yodel only now (who are equally as bad, if not worse). Amazon don't tend to use them where I live, I tend to get DPD or City-Link. Let's hope you do too

Got my shipping notice from ShopTo today. Obviously not arriving till Friday but nice to know its all packed and ready to go.
Forza 5 is what swung me to get the xbox one over the ps4, the problem is I'm stressing now knowing that the day one edition only comes with 3 bonus cars and the limited edition and VIP included with the steelbook has an additional 10 cars.
It's also a bit of a joke that the McLaren P1 that is the cover car and been shown all over the place is only in the limited edition! Unless I've read it wrong and that's just a special version with some vinyls??
I'm wondering if it's worth selling the code when I get it and getting a boxed copy from somewhere!?

Yeah i'm so glad I swung over to the Xbox One after previously favouring the PS4, I actually still have a PS4 on Pre Order from Sainsbury but probably won't be getting it now due to the pretty negative reviews of the PS4 and a very disappointing launch line up, the Xbox One seems to be impressing me by the day with features being revealed, you hardly see any PS4 ads on TV and it seems the UI is just basically a slightly better PS3 UI, the PS4 seems to be just a better specced PS3 with similar features whilst the Xbox One seems NEW and very different to the Xbox 360.
Sony seem to be resting on their laurels whilst Microsoft ramp it up, I wasn't going to get a Xbox One a few months ago but have come over to it in the past few weeks big time, so glad I managed to get a Game Day One Edition Pre Order slip off a member on here with Fifa 14 download code, I am very lucky

Yup, I'd hate for people to not get their orders due to courier issues (that goes for me with me PS4 as well).

My copy of gta v from amazon which was delivered on release day was via parcel force.
I'll see if I can find out of someone tomorrow what is used on expensive orders, majority I see there are Parcel force and DPD.
I did courier management for a large mail order clothing retailer for over a year so I have the unfortunate pleasure of knowing exactly what goes on having spoken with the depot managers etc..
I dread it coming by parcelforce

Wonder of my Forza bundle is one of them.

You've read it wrong P1 is in all the editions.
Only VIP cars are exclusive. Cars in the LE bundle and Day edition are tuned versions of cars in the game.
thats good to know. Was disappointed at not having the P1.

The P1 comes with all versions, the Limited Edition cars are just paint jobs, like they were with the Forza 4 'design' BMW's.
The only extra cars are the ones that come with the VIP code, but that will most likely be available as a download at some point. I think it was about a 6 months later or something in Forza 4.
I got the dispatch email from Shopto today, roll on Friday
