**XBOX ONE** Official Thread

Annoyed by COD and tempted to get a last minute pre order in so I can play BF4 but the only ones I can find are ones with Fifa and I don't want Fifa. I assume though the free game will just be a download code like you get currently so I could just stick in on the MM.

Good lad :p. I'm sure you'll be able sell or swap your code
 
Day one editions back in stock(fifa14) at tesco direct.

Just reading that further it says:

The product above is for pre order by previous pre order deposit customers only. We have the right to cancel your order if you have not previously pre ordered The Xbox One Console through Tesco Direct.

Guessing my order will get cancelled at some point then :/
 
I see the MS apologists are still going on...
Xbox One thread with people that favour XO over PS4 shocker... Jog on fanboi... Seriously, what is it with the Sony defence force that they're not happy unless they're trolling the Xbox thread... I get they don't like or want MS or XO which is fine, but what is it with the childish neediness to justify their choice of console by constantly trashing this thread and then crying if someone takes them to task?

It doesn't happen in the PS4 thread, why the need here? It's seriously getting tedious and making it almost impossible to discuss anything even remotely XO related without the usual 3 or 4 anti Xbox posters turn up and everything decends into a flame fest. I confess to baiting them once they post just because if they're going to troll the thread they deserve to have the **** taken but after 6 months you'd think they'd grow up.

It's not to say there shouldn't be anything negative posted about XO or debate pros and cons but I think we all recognise the same old names that post to elicit a flame fest or just **** on anything positive posted.

Have I missed something but does every game need to be fully installed ? That is going to much through the 500Gb quite quick if so....

That's what I said when they went on about installing games not needing discs with always on connections, that 500gb was no where near big enough. All bigger disc space seems to have done is allow them to do lazy compression?
 
That's been the way since day one of computers. ZX81 had games that fit into the memory and the bigger the memory got it always got filled. Now that was understandable in the early days but once mass storage hit the developers of games and other software got lazy in this respect.
 
This thread has pretty much imploded.

why can't we all just get along :D

All the arguments appear to be cyclic, every time I revisit I get the overriding feeling I've read all the new posts already.

Well said and let's hope that scared them off for good! :p

Calm down Deidre - seriously get a grip.

Where else are we supposed to discuss what the Xbox can and CANT do?

MS have screwed up big time with this shambles which makes your unquestioning brand loyal bizarre in the extreme.

If you are happy to pay £400 for an xbox360 in a different shaped case that's fine but its equally fine for everyone else to criticise and highlight the flaws which will hopefully stop a few blind purchases. :rolleyes:

If you're going to continue to post trolling responses like that I'd suggest you do it elsewhere. You obviously don't like the Xbox One so why not stay out of the thread.

I hate to think how long a 50gb game will take to install. Once you have a few games shuffling them around is going to be a right pain when space is low.

Not overly impressed with that tbh especially as the internal drive is meant to be non replaceable. Having external drives just gets messy and I imagine MS will charge the earth for official ones.

Aye but you'll be able to plug in a USB 3.0 capable HDD for more storage, yes? Not sure if they're imposing an artificial limit this time though.
 
Davey just a set up a thread entitled the place for childish bickering about next gen.

Then issue holidays its getting boring and annoying, I come here for some news about the console and games not to see page after page of ********

Cant use external HDD at launch, not sure when and if games can play from them, but i expect you wont have filled your internal drive up before the patch arrives.

Eh? Just get a 3TB drive and that should last you quite a while. I don't see any messing about there. :D

I would rather not have to need external drives and keep it all in one box. That's if MS will even allow non official drive support ?

I just see it as a bit of a pain. The size of the thing and all its drive space hogging features it should have a 3.5" replaceable drive. Now knowing every game has to be fully installed the 500gb will not last long.
