**XBOX ONE** Official Thread

I was told that i could choose from bundle deals at release as no final packages at the time had been announced .

They weren't talking about a game bundled in with the console though. They use the word bundle meaning buying a console plus a game and getting the game a bit cheaper.

The game with the day one edition is not really a bundle, just a different SKU.

I will get the forza bundle ;) A freind of the familythat works there got me the 10 percent off im sure he can pull a few strings
 
lol well then that's different isn't it, its a bit misleading to say it comes with the Forza SKU when you are buying a specific bundle that costs more than £430.

Just finished my 4th 12 hour 6am to 6pm shift on the trot, im tired, i misread lol, my bad :D
 
Day One Xbox One with Forza download code
Day One Xbox One with Forza Day One edition retail disc which is exclusive to GAME.

Do you really want the disc though. The disc can break, get scratched and all the other problems.
Where as a code is simple enough to correct even if the drive gets wiped, its always free to download?


I'm going to be using my Xmas bonus to get one of these, will get the bonus on 20th December, and wondering if I stand a chance of getting one before Xmas.

Hope so.
Depends on the hype, problem is when everyone has the same idea of getting something for over the holidays.
Xbox has no killer game this time so I'd say its possible especially if you can reserve and then pay on the 20th, surely a retailer would agree to that
 
well i bought £430 in play dot com gift vouchers so i could buy it when it eventually comes in to stock, now sellers on there are selling for £500+ HAHAHAHA.

I'll just wait until they get some stock and ms realises they need to throw a game in.

We aint all loaded Bill

I'd have MUCH preferred a physical copy of the disc. My broadband link is only 1.5 Meg so it's probably going to take me all weekend to download my copy of Forza 5 :eek:

Speaking of which does anyone have any idea yet how large the downloads for Forza5/Fifa 2014 will be.

I'm guessing around 15Gb for your average Xbone game? Maybe even more for Forza given large number of car models?

Anyone know why Shopto's website is displaying the following message?

I got this, their payment provider set off an alert to my bank and they blocked my card, had to get it unblocked again.

Worth checking this hasn't happened to you too.

You might not get a choice. The Forza bundle was limited and sold out in most places very quickly. As the initial free game was Fifa, anyone with a pre-order had to contact their retailer and specifically switch over to the Forza bundle. As you obviously haven't done that, you might be stuck with Fifa if Tesco have no stock of the Forza bundle available.
 
Well this is a pain in the arse, as I was gonna be getting some Turtle Beach headphones to keep the missus happy:

It says the headset adaptors for third party headsets is delayed until 2014...

Turtle Beach press release said:
Microsoft has informed its partners in the Xbox One console launch that the Xbox One Headset Adapter, being built by Microsoft and provided to Turtle Beach for inclusion with new gaming headsets, will not be available until early 2014

Yeah not happy about that myself.....will wait for the adapter though rather than shelling out for new headset.

Just means at night I may as well mute the sound so I dont wake anyone up

Mute the sound at night? Are your walls in your house that thin you can't even have it on a low setting?
 
If I read that article correctly MS must not be sharing the connector design if they are the ones providing a solution for both backwards compatibility and also for new headsets - I would have assumed the new headsets would have had the adapter logic built in, guess they want to reduce the chances of unofficial third party stuff to turn up...

ps3ud0 :cool:

Headsets will work fine if you buy one that uses optical out, this adaptor is for chat only.

Will be annoying not having chat on mine, but at least I can still use them for game sound.
