**XBOX ONE** Official Thread

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.

You've done nothing but moan about the Xbox one and yet you still bought one?:confused:

defo troll :o believe me the xbox in person is a very nice piece of kit and the controller feels way more high end than any other controller I've used.the less trolls and morons that buy the one will make it a better experience online.the one thing i hated about the 360 was the amount of numpty's online there was still some on ps3 but not as many and it felt like a more mature audience on ps3 but from what i have see and read it looks like it changed.

I ordered on the 22nd Aug, status currently reads unshipped but they processed the order on the 13th Nov with money taken out from bank on the 14th Nov. hope that helps, wonder what are the chances it will be delivered Thursday...

Aw man the kinect has a thick cable? Was really looking forward to some cool games, voice commands and skyping my xbox buddies in the nude but that cable thickness makes has really put me off. :(

Some of us, have an appreciation for good engineering, and like not having a clutter of cables, with a kinect that's going to block the IR port on just about ALL the tv's it will sit infront of. It sits about 4-5 inches high and is about 12inches in length.

Trust me when i say this, its going to REALLY get in the way.
 
I ordered the Xbox One, not realising it couldn't be vertical. big gripe for me.. Even though I have space, i don't want to add furniture just for this console.

After seeing the Kinect, which is my understanding that HAS to be plugged in, that's just the last straw on the camel's back.

I placed an ad on the local classifieds asking if anyone wants to swap, i've had three replies... Actually I'm lessening the hit now and saying, ok that and $50. See if anyone will take the bite.
