My credit card area shows that it only dinked the one Xbox and 2 games though... not sure why it's still showing that I ordered 4 of them with 8 games! LOL... good luck getting 3 more off my Amazon card!

wait what?

Halo 5 is the only one i'd really love to play on a console out of that list, and we don't know a single thing about it yet.
Also curious about Quantum Break, but then again, we have absolutely nothing to go on.

I need more than just a name, personally.

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
What? Jesus people, I guess i'm indeed out.

I just don't have faith in every single announced title suddenly being some kind of long-awaited masterpiece in the making.

Straight up bullshit, you already made a determination of their quality when you said "If that's a "good year", i'd hate to see a bad year."

Contractually they're supposed to send a free copy but in this case they never did. I always buy my own copy though because it's fun.

Hey I saw in the theater. Wasn't that much fun though. I am sure that your original story was fine though until Shamalalalalyn got his hands on it.

Supporting your own work is cool, shows that you have faith in it. It's a horrible movie. The acting was horrendous, which you had nothing to do with so, sorry Will and Jaden Smith :D.

The closer we get to launch, the more I want to go to my Best Buy earlier and earlier to wait in line. I don't know... it's kind of a communal thing to me. The people you meet, the stories you share. Yeah, I pre-ordered it for in-store pick up, and don't have to wait outside in the Southeastern Michigan late November cold. But I kinda want to. I've camped for a GameCube, a 360 (twice), a Wii, and now the Xbox One. I've always enjoyed the time spent waiting for the store to open. This, unlike the other console launches, is my first one where I don't have to worry about NOT getting one. It's reserved, it's set aside. No drama, no fuss. But I still have that urge to wait with other people. Sounds crazy? Sure, but who gives a shit! I'm ready to join the next generation of console gaming!
 
Oh, I want to play...and this is on Wireless N. People faint when I show my wired speedtest.

I really hope to put the MS servers to the test when I download Killer Instinct. When I downloaded BF4 on my PC I got it in less than 3 minutes. I was hoping to try it out on PSN on launch but got a DOA.

I'm right there with you buddy. I am so ready for the digital online future I can barely contain myself. (Please note that I measured 350/450 a couple of days ago so this image is, like yours, far from my max speed.)

Need some help.

Received my Battlefield Copy, but on the box it makes no mention of it being the version that contains the dlc. When I ordered, I swear it said that it contained it, but the copy I got and when I went to game stop the copies they had were like mine, with no mention of the add-on at the top of the game case.

Am I screwed or does everyone get it regardless?

hmmm i would really like a second controller for killer instinct, but guess i'll have to make due with 1 until a sale or something, can't justify $60 on a controller. damn them for making fightsticks incompatible across gens (i know i know it happens every gen, but a $150 paper weight sucks :/)
 
So does the Xbox One automatically record everything, or not? Do you have to open the Game DVR first in order to access things like the "Xbox, record that" command?

Also, for some reason I thought they said it would automatically save the 30 seconds leading up to any achievement, and then your friends could browse through the clips. That would be both useful and amusing. I've asked friends before, "how did you get that achievement?" This would not only allow me to get that answer, but also see if they did it in some ridiculous way, or by the skin of their teeth.

There is a fair amount of information regarding Quantum Break out there. I grant you not enough and there has been very little media for the game. But the developers have talked about the story, gameplay, new facial animation, how the "live tv"-stuff will work, etc.

And it's not like Remedy is an unproved developer.

We know a lot about Project Spark there a lot of media out there about it + there will be a beta for PC before the year ends. Just do a quick youtube search and you'll have days of content to watch.

Kinect Sports Rivals, will get a preseason demo thing at launch. And it was showcased at E3. So... Yeah. hype?
Not my type of game

Titanfall; we have all seen it. It's Call of Duty on steroids + Brink + Mechs.
A lot of previews has been done and people have played demos at shows.

I'll grant you that both Halo 5 and Sunset Overdrive is a leap to have faith in atm.
Both are interesting titles that I will most likely buy. The art direction for Sunset is very interesting, and it's made by Insomniac. While Halo 5 is Halo and I'm a sucker for that franchise.

:) This is my opinion though, you might need more to get hyped, we've all get satisfied at different levels.

Not sure if you're screwed but my amazon copy said it on the box

Just like PS4 owned Amazon's daily 20 last week, MS owns it now. Lots of money being made off this "dying" industry, eh?
