**XBOX ONE** Official Thread

I'm kind of lucky in that I've been playing fighting games for about 20 years and about 17 of them were on pad before I finally made the switch, there's certain games I still use a pad for (MK9 for example) but that's more due to an awkward button layout than directional inputs. I haven't heard about that Razer stick you mentioned but I'll do some digging to see if it's anything concrete or just rumours, a dual platform stick would be brilliant in the new year.

Same as you two, I'm after a stick but £180 for the Madcatz one is just wrong. Thanks to cHk4 - I'll keep a look out myself for the Razer stick.

My worry is going back to a pad, I'm that used to a fightstick now I think I'll struggle with the transition. Saying that I'm fine on the Vita (SFxT) so I may surprise myself.
 
What about Xbox Live etc though? If they haven't launched in those countries some services/features might not be available or supported.

Don't glance over this point ^^. If you do get an Xbone from another country, it may not work on Live if your country has not launched yet.
 
I read on another forum that the Microsoft Store UK should start taking money and updating the order status today and should also start to provide tracking numbers and such. Information came from phoning the MS store apparently.

They still haven't taken any money from me, never wanted someone to take my money so much just so I know its going to arrive!
 
It looks like Dead Rising 3 and Crimson Dragon reviews will be online Tuesday morning, the console itself Wednesday morning and Ryse review on Thursday morning.
 
This would be hilarious if you bought an xbox one after the damage it will do to your eyes.

:D:D

Another 5 days before i get mine, will be going in on Wed to pay up fully for it though. Found an old blackberry phone that i might try and get some credit on so lowers my total amount to pay.

Cant wait to get my hands on it, have missed my 360 since i took it in for credit last week. Never got the chance to finish off GTA 5 although to be honest i was kinda getting bored of it.
 
Good heads up Abooie, looks like they have sorted the pre-order voucher issue, just ordered :)

Nah, it was probably the same as what Tesco where doing. You got a certain time frame to finish paying the console off, and the ones that weren't paid for, went back into general sale and that £20 deposit was lost.
 
Its a feature of DX 11.2 which is not supported on PS4. It also works best with a small fast separate cache.
Doesnt matter if it doesnt feature 11.2, its hardware does and Sonys PSSL supports PRT/tiled resources (if you look at the this years GDC slides) - the only difference as you said is that the XO could use the eSRAM to cache whatever its texturing quicker - the question isnt that that might be faster in isolation, but how you expect 32MB to do that aswell as cache other DDR3 calls to the GPU for other tasks or to even assist in post-processing aswell.

Thats a whole lot of tasks to manage - I wouldnt say DDR3+eSRAM has an advantage more that the cloud has a few silver linings, but I dont think many assumed it was going to be rubbish at every task asked of it, just that it will need to be well managed, its still up for debate how much of this developers are being forced to sort out manually themselves as a lot of the issues we are seeing right are eSRAM based.

MS has made best their decision to go with 8Gb DDR3 as it was made so early in the design cycle (of course they would have moved to GDDR5 if they had the time to do so) so I expect a load of tweaks in utilising the eSRAM, but it still remains a significant effort to do - hopefully MS work out something that uses it much more efficiently.

ps3ud0 :cool:
