**XBOX ONE** Official Thread

[Thesnipergecko]

Can anyone recommend a website for all the latest console news? Seems day I've missed out on a few bits!

Useful timeline of what happened when - http://www.nextgengamer.co.uk/timeline

So I have won £50 xbox credit from Mountain dew bottle!

Also already have £150 I bought the other day..
I have COD ghosts and Fifa, and Zoo tycoon already ordered.

What la hell do I buy with the £200 credit? :/ should I wait for more games?

Buy £200 worth of Fifa Ultimate Team packs and tell us how many Lionel Messis you get

 

[James J]

Asda took my payment up front so I'm a committed xbox owner now!

 

[roboffer]

Yeah got an email on the 13th Nov confirming it's being processed, with the typical contradictory statements "Hi there, Great news! Your order has been dispatched and will be delivered soon." Followed by "Please note that Pre-orders will be processed ready for delivery on the release date. "

Have you checked PayPal account? Has it been withdrawn? Surely it must have by now for them to process delivery on Friday?!

They sent an email asking people to pay the remaining balance via PayPal, I did and got an error on their side which took them a week to resolve. I'm not that confident they have sorted it fully and have pestered them as much as possible so just interested to see what status peoples are in.

They said that they haven't taken the money and it's a pre-authorisation type of thing, I certainly haven't had an email saying it's been dispatched (I realise yours hasnt) but maybe that is only for people who haven't paid via PayPal.

I'll be contacting them no doubt on Thursday to see what the situation is.

Ha. I fear I've used up all my luck with the Dew win. I usually never win anything so I doubt id get any Messi cards .. They should bring out Poker on the xbox so I can turn it into thousands

Really ? Mine is earmarked on my CC but not yet fully taken according to my online balance.
I presumed they didn't actually take it until despatch.
Did you order early or just recently ?

 

[Metalface Mark]

but having they been making all these games on PCs for years?? it's not like an Alien language is it.

Reading your posts is like trying to read an alien language. Had to read this twice to see if it made any sense.

ASDA Direct, i.e. online orders, should take payment immediately when you've placed the order. They don't wait until dispatch.

So how many XB1s does everybody think will be sold in the first 24 hours?

My Estimate is:

800k US
1.2 Mil total

and Microsoft will only announce the world wide numbers

Sounds like a decent shout. I think they'll match Sony's figures, and you could argue that if they had a US-only launch like Sony did, they could match those numbers. I think Sony will be ahead at the 3 month stage though as they seem to be getting more ready for their other releases around the world.

Hopefully its just my online statements not up to date then, (they do seem slow to update on previous transactions) as according to asda direct it says total paid on cc and order is awaiting packing.

On a different note, I presume any MS points I had on my 360 account will transfer over with my GT ?

 

[antijoke]

5 Million Xbox One consoles sold worldwide day one is my guess.

Yes, though you won't have MS Points any more anyway, it converted to real money a couple of months ago. MS Points no longer exist.

Email from asda your item has left the warehouse and in the hands of the couriers not bad as I only pre order it yesterday morning

 

[Davey_Pitch]

Can't wait for Friday now. I'm not really playing much at the moment as I feel there isn't much point getting into anything as I know when this arrives I won't play on anything else for a while. Looking forward to a good long session on games like DR3 and BF4 at the weekend.

No email for me yet (also ordered it yesterday morning).

 

[montymint]

I really cannot wait until Friday (unless Amazon let me down, I'm not sold on their shipping date of Thursday).

Need to get to town to buy Forza and DR3 to go with my Fifa bundle.

Same for me.
