5/10 is my bet..

I would be so astounded if this was the case that I'll post a video of myself eating a hat.

My Sainsburys order is now showing preparing for despatch,can't wait till Friday

Same here , but my card still to get charged,( which will prob happen tonight i assume ) mind u i e.mailed them as i live in N.Ireland to see if they dispatched it earlier than the ones for the uk mainland so it would arrive with me for the 22nd ( the rep told me they get sent from the mainland ) and here is the reply i got.

Any pre-release items which are bought through the site, prior to the release date, will be delivered to your nominated delivery address on the day of release or as soon as possible after such date. Deliveries to Northern Ireland can take a little longer.

So ill prob not get mine till sat 23rd or even worse the monday,,,,,, hope they give us a tracker number.

I'm hoping for at least an 8 as I have it ordered...

I will buy it digital because I'm not leaving the house for 5 days and I love Rome, Romans, anything around the early years of roman and greek mythology.

The one frame blocking and the removal of icons for the buttons made this a must for me after seeing 4 locations in depth and loads of gameplay. It is not a bad game that is clear.

Name a game with over 100 motion captured executions and was evolved to remove anything fans hated eg kinect and Qtes that looks as good and fluid as this looks that got a 5/10

Does not look good.. lets just hope that MS used better materials in the Xbox one

 

[Woden]

Hope that's not going to be the FXLOD

RRoD was an easy fix. Lights turned to white. No more RRoD

On a more serious note. Jesus it's close, I feel like a fat kid in the Cadbury World car park.

These are in-store demo units so more more than likely highly abused. I imagine your own controller loved and cherished by yourself will be ok...

Come Friday I am going to be so jealous of those of you who get their Ones.

After work it's straight down to both Tesco's in town, Currys and anywhere else I can think of that may have one.

There are apparently a lot of customer reports with the same issues.

She's the one.

Yep, wish they'd announce a firm release date for it.

I'm 99% certain it'll be available on release day. IGN have it down as a release ay app, and that guy who got it early put up the download size as about 300mb, which also suggests it will be available on Friday.

you would hope so but the rubber is really soft on these pads and been loads of reports of similar problems .my ds3 has had a good beating and is still in perfect working condition all be it a the sticks have gone shiny from wear and the x button sticks a bit evey now and then but this from years of abuse.like i said in another thread i mentioned you get what you pay for and sony had to cut corners! anyhow i have my spare xbox one controller here with me and it feels amazing the grips in the thumbsticks the buttons/triggers everything feel as though they will last a very long time

People who have had order progress from Game, when did you order and what does it say for the status on the order page? Thanks.

Theres a massive thread on neo gaf with people posting pictures of their controllers with the same issue.

Just seen an Xbox one in person and i have to say I am very disappointed. The Kinect add-on is huge, with a really heavy cable. People are going to have problems hiding it. The box itself is also big, didn't feel well built. I'm so disappointed that I'm going to swap my XBOX One, that arrives on Thurs, for another PS4. The xbox one was going to be for my son for Christmas, but given its just becoming more of a disappointment hardware wise, I'm just going to bite the bullet and swap it out for a PS4. Dang I wish I pre-ordered two PS4's instead of one and an xbox. I have managed to find someone who'll do a straight swap.. xboxOne for a PS4, sealed. Just that the Xbox has cost me an extra $100, so I'm out of a $100. This late in the game, I'd never be able to bag a PS4 before Christmas, without paying fleabay prices.

I just can't see this box being a success I'm afraid.. So maybe better to take my loss now.

my card has now been charged

 

[CocoPops]

Something smells a bit fishy there, why would you willingly give up $100 to swap.

 

[TommyV]

And that opinion is formed based on the aesthetics? Come on now!

I'm buying to play online with friends and family alike, in all honesty if the graphics on some titles were a bit sub par to begin with, it wouldn't deter me!

 

[Talon]

May not be, but that post reads a little trollish.

Whats hardware build quality got to do with success? The current Xbox is rubbish too, the PS3 hardware is different league compared to it.

Its the games that sells consoles and both at the moment is poor.
