NY here. Not a peep from Amazon. I'm scared, hold me.

Don't be scared, I'm also NY and haven't heard anything either. Further, I didn't receive a charge notification for PS4 until Thu. morning and it didn't even ship until late Thu. night. Got it around 6:30p on Fri. (UWS).

I think those are tokens for buying cars if you don't want to devote tens of hours(by tens I mean hundreds :p) into the game.

What's the deal with the Kinect Sports Jet ski game? How much does it cost? Are there reviews for it?

No review that I know of. It's free (since it's only a demo of one of the sports, it probably doesn't have many tracks, maybe only one).

yeah but I can't find anywhere that there is micro transactions in F5...

Also, price makes no sens. You pay twice more for the same coins on the higher packs... this is not how you do micro transactons !

I've seen the "Sony and MS are positioning their boxes as entertainment hubs" thing pop up in multiple reviews, the most recent being in that CNN piece linked above.

I don't know. Does it seem like Sony is marketing the PS4 as such? I've found it interesting how the two companies are talking different approaches (Sony = gamer heaven/ MS =all-in-one awesomebox).

Sony doing a 180 in their marketing now.
 
btw my mate just told me he watched a 15s or whatever video of me in Ryse through his smartglass app. I didnt even know where it is or how i did it but he got to watch it on his phone!

Yep, gameclips are up on the smartglass app now. I've watched a few on the Windows 8 app.

After seeing Forza 5 looking so nice, wish I hadn't cancelled my pre-order. I was trying to be "responsible" and not get both consoles at launch. Wonder if it's worth trying to hit Target or something Friday.

I can wait, but might be fun.

So what ever happened with the ass storm that was supposed to change the world? No reviewers seem to be having any major issues with their Xbox Ones...

I have you on my friends list and I just watched your Ryse clip. Man that is such an awesome feature.

lol at any of the shit he said coming true.
 
I keep telling myself DIGITAL DOWNLOAD FUTURE but I don't really want to be trying to download 200gbs of games on Day One, plus I want to be able to trade in Ryse. Fuck it, I'm ordering boxes from Amazon.

I didn't want to say anything about that, almost seems like a ban-able offense around here to question his track record lately.

I'm going Digital Download. :D

Bandwidth be damned.

Also just a reminder to send me a friends request if you're buying a Xbox One on launch night, GT = FordGTGuy.

Same here. I'm not scared, I know they'll deliver (they always do), but I just want that gratification of "hey you're specific console is preparing to see you soon."

"Not yet shipped" just isn't cutting it and I'm checking my email and/or Amazon at least every 30 minutes.

Well my preorder from the MS Store through the 360 dashboard back in June still hasn't shipped. I'm in Australia so the midnight launch is in about 18 hours.

Not very happy. Called their call centre and was told I would have it on launch day by someone clearly reading a script.

So does anyone know if there are demo's available on Xbox Live at launch? I'm getting an Xbone but don't have any games pre-ordered yet, hoping to try a few through Xbox Live. Any idea what games have playable demo's this Friday?

I suppose I'm not the only one, but I'm getting nervous for not getting information from the Microsoft Store. Do they usually ship & warn at the last minute ? Since they're using UPS, if it misses the Friday deadline, they won't bring it before Monday. :(
