Don't even know why i've done it yet, but i've just gone ahead and pre-ordered an xbox No-One. i should be refusing to go back there, after all the GFWL and 360 disconnects, thanks to Microscum.

Amazing post.

If you dislike it that much feel free to cancel your pre-order and head over to the PS4 thread. If you're going to stick with it, a change of tone might be a good idea

Why are you telling him to head over to PS4 thread, he didn't even mention PS4 in his post

Lets hope this one doesn't sound like a jet turbine, break 5 times within the space of one yr, and have decision making morons at the helm of its management.

The only thing annoying me about the Xbone now is no release date! I mean it's 2 months away from potential release and nothing from MS. If I don't book time off work soon the chances are I'll be away on release, the console will arrive and nobody is home etc etc.

I've already booked time off for the PS4 so at least I'm covered there but I would like to enjoy the Xbone release to..

MS have been pretty clear from the start regarding the November release date so to cover yourself book whole November off and on the safe side book half of December off as well :rolleyes:

edit:maybe this is why no release date...they were still tinkering?

not sure to be honest, never heard that, may have missed it because i havent been following x1 closely

Was just about to post the same link. Maybe now it's in full production we're getting closer to a release date announcement.

You would hope so. They should now know how many units they expect to be available at various dates....

I now expect a release date within the week

Plainsong · 4 Sep 2013 at 08:43

So after a bit of research I found that Microsoft announced the 360 release date on the eve before TGS in 2005 on September 15th and released the console in the US on 22nd Nov and in the EU on 2nd Dec.

TGS this year is 19th-22nd Sept so if they were to do the same thing we can expect a release date announcement on the 18th Sept!

That's my theory anyway

antijoke · 4 Sep 2013 at 08:46

It has to be then, I do hope it's not a late December launch here (would mean I have to buy CoD on the 360 then the One).

Plainsong · 4 Sep 2013 at 08:49

Didn't I read that incentives were being given to those who bought CoD on 360 would only have to pay £10 for it if they bought it again on the XB1?

Could be wrong but I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere!

antijoke · 4 Sep 2013 at 08:52

That is correct, but it still means buying the game twice.

Plainsong · 4 Sep 2013 at 08:53

I'd buy it again for a tenner though wouldn't you (assuming it's good enough!)?

jamesy505 · 4 Sep 2013 at 09:14

GAME are offering £40 credit for various current gen titles when trading in agaist their next gen equivalent.

Quinnaay · 4 Sep 2013 at 09:41

I wonder if Game will allow switching platforms when trading in a current gen to next.

I'm actually pretty sure GAME are charging over the RRP for some games. Like X1 first party titles are meant to be £50 RRP but game are selling them at £55 at least
