**XBOX ONE** Official Thread

Anyone know what day they are being delivered on? I have a day one Xbox One from Game but dunno when its been shipped. With it being launch day on a Friday I don't know whether to have the parcel delivered to work or to my home. Seeing as no one is home Friday but then no one is in work Saturday!
 
Cancelled my preorders for both consoles - Ended up buying a new car, to go along with the new job I got \o/.

I'll end up getting both eventually, but might as well wait to see the fallout from both platforms first.

Congrats on the new job :D

*googles fallout 4*
 
Been watching the videos of the XB1 UI. Very, very slick :)

Indeed. I think having features (like friends, chat, video upload) as apps works quite well. I like the neat touch whereby you can see how many people are playing such and such a game.
 
anyone know if dayone xboxone`s are still taking preorders ? with forza5 and the zombies game :D
i only want those games on xboxone for launch ;) cheapest places is a must :D lol
 
I just watched Dead Rising 3 trailers and looks like great fun, then watched Resogun for the first time and can't quite see why everyone was so excited. It has some nice effects but it seemed to consist of holding down fire then just alternating up/down/up/down to sweep the screen.

XB1 preordered (again) with free Fifa code, Dead Rising 3 and Battlefield 4. Might get Forza as well. That 55" TV is in for a real treat.
 
Lol @ having to ask your misses if you can get things.
Sure you're not talking about your Mummy?

I'v got £391 in playDOTcom and it can stay there until i can get an X1 with a game for it.
Still got to get through the 360 games

where did you preorder ? im trying to find xboxone + forza + deadrising 3 for day one lauch or just after lol

got any codes lOL
 
Unless you are planning to move to New Zealand (can recommend it) then I doubt it'll be any use!

oh right hahaha.....
ok UK guys/girls where to preorder from hmmmmm must get forza 5 and deadrising 3 lol, or should i take a risk and hope that someone cansels there preorder and pop into a few shops on launch day and see if i can get one, im already getting a ps4 on launch day so im in no rush for launch day xboxone to or am i :D
 
The only game I really want is dead rising 3.

And is it worth £430 to do that day one?

You know the answer to that really. DR3 if released mid cycle in a consoles life would barely raise an eyebrow. It will sell well as king kong did when the 360 came out, not because it will be stunning but there's little else on offer.

As much as I like to buy new things is there really not enough due this quarter on the 360 to make this a must have play? Surely it makes more sense to let others iron the bugs out and see where these consoles sit against each other.

There will then be a ton of second hand DR3 in the trade in bin if you really feel the need :)

When the 360 came out I was ready for a new system and didn't have much in the way of games to play. This time there's plenty, games like AC4 I can't see the game has been built that well for a new console so you may as well play it cheaper on the 360 and wait for a proper optimised version next year, same with COD. :)

So in short, no :D

ps I go through the same dilemma daily, luckily I'm tight and my brain rules my wallet.
 
No I play nothing sub 1080p in the last few years and have become accustomed to it.

I played GTA5 recently and I was getting bad migraines, and burst blood vessels. I stopped to preserve my health.

Funny that, cos you said this just 2 months ago.

I think gears is 720p native. I game @ 1080p on a 50" Pana GT50 and there is a difference between 1080 and 720, it's nothing more than being slightly sharper.

You also played Last of Us - which was 720p - so again more nonsense that you don't play anything sub 1080p in the last few years.
 
Just got back from Game with them pushing their "deals".
They were as shown on here (somewhere back in this thread before the latest batch of bickering)

The interesting part is they let you add any of the games to the bundle for -£10 from the rrp. so that's either 40 or 45 a game extra.

They don't include special editions in that which makes for a little dilemma for me, forza 5 day one for £40 or LE for £60, at and extra £10 the extras were worth it at £20 I'm not so sure.

So im looking at a "value pack" which will be a day one console with FIFA plus BF4 for 469.99 plus DR3 and a copy of Forza 5 (which version TBD) a play and charge kit (£20) and maybe a years live for £29 which includes a extra guy for killer instinct.

I have 10 months left on my live but an extra 12 months at £29 is a pretty good price including the bonus.
 
Danny stop trying to be the voice of reason, we all know you're trying to sell Joe to finance your new console. ;)

I tried to trade in his mum but I don't fancy a MegaCD :(

Busted! :D

I didn't know playing lower res could burst blood vessels, how did we all survive on Crt tv's for years!
