I won't lie, out of the two consoles the Xbox One has a better lineup. I wish it weren't 499, but hell, I can't even get the PS4 for 399 right now.

Can't wait to get this eventually
before Halo 5.

Any Amazon pre-orders just recieve this weird email?

They got me all noid now! Was this email a courtesy?? Ya'll just looking out for me?? Or is there something wrong with my card??

Hello,

We're contacting you about pre-order #XXX for Xbox One Console - Day One Edition.

Before your order ships, please make sure your payment and shipping information is correct:

1. Go to https://amazon.com/openorders.
2. Find your order and check the expiration date on your payment method.
3. If your payment method expires before November 2013, click "Change Payment Method" on the right side of the order summary.
4. Either update the expiration date of the existing payment method and click "Retry payment method," or select a different payment method or enter a new credit card.
5. Verify the billing address and shipping address. If necessary, update either by clicking "Change" next to the address you wish to update, then select an existing address option, or click "Add US Address" or "Add International Address."

Updating payment information will not affect your estimated delivery date of November 22, 2013.

We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Sincerely,
Customer Service

Actually I was reading the article by Gameblog, and I think the worst part is the recording command : "Xbox - Enregistrer cet élément"
I mean WTF ? Who talks like that ? Why not "Xbox, enregistre ça", it shouldn't be harder to recognize than "record that !".

Good news fellow French speakers, according to the Crimson Dragon instructions (available on the new Smartglass app), "Xbox enregistrez ça" should be a valid command. Hopefully there are other variants for the other commands too. I would like a "Xbox allez sur ma page" rather than "Afficher mes éléments".

The manual for KS Preseason also confirms that the face scanning feature won't be available, it's only in the full version of the game.

Basically all I want to know now is if I can setup my games to have the original V.A, I hate French VoiceOver with a passion.

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?

Who would honestly cancel a preorder over twitch.tv streaming?

If it really matters that much you can get a Elgato and do it on all your devices, sure it might be $180 but it's professional and it looks really good.

Can't seem to find it now but one of the articles I saw earlier about the Twitch delay had a screencap from what I thought was Gary's Twitter asking about it and saying that not having it was a deal breaker, that's why I asked.

I wish I'd bought the games themselves from somewhere other than the GAME store. I want to have them in my hands already.

I got the same email. All of the info I used to preorder the Xbox One was the same as I used for PS4, and that went just fine. I'm not sure why we're getting that message from
Amazon.

I microwave steaks.
So based on a picture today that showed target was starting to reserve space for Xbox One games, I went over there to ask the representative about the day 1 edition skus. Obviously, the dude had no idea, and was too lazy to even check their inventory. I managed to see they only had the standard edition of dead rising on the shelf, so this worried me, since I "Pre-ordered" both DR3 and Forza 5 from them (It even says day one on the fucking cards!).

Long story short, I wanted to save some money so I cancelled my pre-orders at gamestop so I could get both for cheap (30% off coupon) at target, but now it's doubtful they're getting any day one skus. Why in the fuck is Microsoft releasing two different skus of games, every single game that's coming out on day one should be the day one edition! :mad:

Oh well, I talked to the dudes at gamestop and they told me they are going to get a few extras of the day one editions, so I should be able to prepurchase those with my console hopefully. Might even splurge for the special edition of Forza 5.

Got the email from Amazon a few minutes ago too. Tempting to just order it there and say fuck the cold weather on Thursday. My UPS doesn't show up until 7pm usually though...

Anyway, speaking of UPS, my first Xbox One games just arrived. Hype in overdrive.

Seeing the Blu Ray disc on this app here is funny. All the BS rumors building up to this gen: ala MS will not having Blu Ray playback, or no BR disc drive at all. Heh

Will I be able to download BF4 in the background while I'm playing COD or any other game? Or will it stop downloading once I play like with the 360? I'm hoping background FTW.

I keep going back and forth on whether to drop my amazon preorder. I have the ps4, but I think MS just does interface/online better. That and I really want DR. Ahhhhhhhh
