**XBOX ONE** Official Thread

Any ideas on where I can pre order for Day one edition still?

Unfortunatley I am one of the those idiots that loves Fifa and Ultimate team. Dedicated servers for CoD is also a decider for me. What along with Killer Instinct as a F2P game and then Titanfall next year.

I wanted a reason to stay with Microsoft and I think this is it.

Also no launch date is still worrying, either they aren't sure when they will be able to release due to production issues, or they are just waiting for Sony to go first.

I'm pretty sure they will have a few dates in mind for launch:
  1. 'Gota beat Sony out the door but hell it's gonna be risky', window
  2. 'We can do it with a degree of comfort', window
  3. 'Loads of time, lets go grab lunch and a coffee', window
I guess we'll find out some time after Sony announces but, I would still hope/guess it will be this week?
 
It's a good number of games for day one but the majority are multi-plat & the others don't really float my boat except maybe Dead rising 3 which I'm a little envious of, nothing in the line up that's going to be a must have IMO & nothing that's going to shift consoles to anyone undecided which console to go for!
I hope Sony have something a little more exciting than that lot or I'm going to opt out of the next gen at launch altogether.

One thing that just occurred to me about FIFA (and COD partly). If the games release on the current consoles first (FIFA is usually Sep/Oct release?) what will people do? Buy on their current console and then move over to the next gen version when the XB1 is released?

I don't play FIFA and don't really know about this FUT mode but I guess you sink in a lot of hours to build up stats or squads? I guess stuff like this is saved to your LIVE account and syncs to different versions?

I guess this year the COD/FIFA players will be split 4 ways!!! 360, PS3, XB1, PS4 (probably in that order of popularity?)

In America they are doing a trade in system on sites such as Amazon where you can trade in your current gen version of a game and pay $9.99 on top to get the next gen version, I wonder if the likes of Game would do something similar here?

At least if you get CoD and then move to a next gen console your progress goes with you, within the same console family.
 
I can't think of any game that i would have had less interest in than FIFA. But i suppose you get that reaction from some people with whichever game you pick. I wish they had just given all pre-orders £40/50 in credit on the digital store, so that you could buy whatever launch title you wanted. Though the cost to MS for the FIFA bundle is no doubt rather lower than that.
 
Why all the FIFA hate? It's a free copy of what is probably the top selling game in September and October every year in EU and probably in the top 2-3 every year overall.

I know we all have differing tastes (Free COD would have made me switch to XBOX tbh) but anyway you spin it, people would prefer a free top selling game over nothing!

Sony's move now, tbh, but they need to give away a free game or have an earlier release date to maintain momentum. I'm sure the press and people don't care too much about the free game. BUT, gamers (who everyone says MS is ignoring) will really appreciate this free title imo.

I could see Amazon doing something like that in the UK. Game not so sure about.

I assume they have added this specifically for GHOSTS?

I think this is being overstated TBH. If they were priced closer this would be a big deal, but due to the fact that you will be able to get a PS4 + Fifa for cheaper than XB1 + Fifa it doesn't seem like an amazing deal does it?

Only gamers who want Fifa.

I think you are overlooking the pull of it, yes it's a free game, but a PS4 + Fifa is still cheaper. It is just desperation from MS to try and claw back some pre-orders.

By my count the price is the same? I thought the price difference was £50? I can imagine the retail versions of FIFA being £50 on the new consoles. So by my count, same price but extra FIFA modes on XB1. To a FIFA fan surely this is a big pull?
