There won't be massive optimisations to be had from the off. Later down the line sure but my assumption already added a flat % (for ease) for the removal of Windows / DirectX and the allowance of low level access on consoles. It's a guesstimate at this stage of course but it's useful to gain an idea.

You mentioned 15th, guess that's August yeah? If so that's bummer, I preordered with Game on 22nd August and don't remember them saying not eligible for release day.
Edit: just saw your edit, "no one will receive this item on release date" WTF is going on there with Amazon!

I've just avoided all the problems of receiving the console on release day by pre-ordering in store. I was just about to pre-order online before realising that I'd most probably get screwed by delivery so its midnight pick up for me

Unacceptable! Don't they know you have important forum matters to be dealing with?

^That looks like someone who doesn't know what they're taking about.

I know, it's disgraceful! Thankfully it's lunchtime soon so I can get it sorted then
The Amazon thing? Yeah, I'll be amazed if anyone pre-ordering from Amazon doesn't get the console on release day.

Yeah, it just looks like a canned reply rather than what will actually happen.

yeah standard edition not day one edition
Yeah it does seem stupid if that is the case, won't be cancelling my preorder just yet.
Just spoke to the manager of the local Game store and they have no idea what is going on as Microsoft are not giving them any details on stock allocation yet. It is still early days though. So might go and preorder there as well and hope for either company to come through for me.

amazon have now edited their description.
it used to say that part of the benefit of the day one edition was that it included release date delivery.
but that's gone now - on both the forza and fifa listings.
worth adding that they have fifa bundle available for preorder again now. probably all those cancellations and switching to forza.

yeah it has. cant understand why unless theyve been told they arent getting their delivery until very late on the 21st or on the 22nd itself, leaving no time for delivery. Bit annoying as I would have ordered from elsewhere if I'd known at the time.
they must be pretty sure of their allocation though if they are offering the fifa bundle for order again.
I think you are all worrying over nothing.
Even if Amazon don't get their deliveries until later the day before or whatever, they are the one retailer in the country that still ships goods in the evening. With Prime I have ordered in the early evening and still have things delivered to me the next day.
Secondly, Amazon's position as the biggest retailer means they are highly likely to get probably the largest Xbox shipment in the country. They will have more than anyone else and will have the staff to get them out of the door as quickly as possible.
