2 day, I'm prime and it's not yet shipped still.

Also, my TV is pretty much loaded up so I was thinking of picking up an HDMI splitter. Do those add input lag or anything? Haven't used any before.

None that I have noticed... I have 3 splitters going for various things and have had for a while. Played many shooters online for years with it without any issues. Split it up!!!
 
It's because of the competition I have all these games to play, so no, I love the competition ;)

It's my opinion the line up is better, others have theirs, nearly everything posted on the net is opinion.

I'm saying on paper, the breadth and amount of games (notable titles) coming to Xbox One is better. That can totally change next year when Sony announce their full line up. But as of now all we have is Order, inFamous, Driveclub and maybe Uncharted 4 (is it 2013?)

That sounds like a great lineup to me! 2014 looks like its a win for gamers of both consoles
 
If you view your xbox 360 achievments through the XBOX ONE Smartglas App, your offline achievments have a date of 1/1/1751. Can other people verify they have this issue as my firend is also having this issue. I believe this is a bit of a problem. Online achievments are fine. Can someone please verify.

Indiana here. Usually get mine from Kentucky, but my PS4 shipped from the Chicago area. That may be the case here.

That makes more sense. That must mean that they're probably already in Chicago! We should meet up and start breaking into UPS warehouses.

Maybe that is Mozart unlocking achievements back then ; )

Has anyone seen how you set an XB1 as the "home" console?

Also, has there been any word on the cost of the Forza 5 Expansion Pass and Super Pass?

Because Mario 3D World comes out on the same goddamn day, I'm only going to have enough money for one Xbox One game :(

So its between Dead Rising and AC4. I need something that'll last awhile!

Help me choose, fellow xbox one buyers!
 
That process sounds like a hassle. What is the BIND button?

I assume that's the button that binds/syncs wireless controllers to the console.

This. Why is everyone outside of this thread so salty? Both consoles have amazing games coming our way.

It was widely expected that the xbone and games library would review lower than the ps4....it hasn't

both systems are great in my eyes...one just needs some software updates and the other needs to get some more first party games in the pipe

...I had to pack up my wii u today to make space for my xbox:(
 
Hitting the hay with still no movement from Amazon UK. Probably feel like a berk for worrying so much when this thing shows on Friday. However, right now, I can't face my examination on Friday without the sweet promise of a new Xbox when I get home. What am I supposed to do all weekend? Slack off from coursework doing non-Xbox One activities? Don't think so...

I can confirm this. I use a splitter to output to two display devices and there is 0 lag introduced

Forza 5
Dead Rising 3
FIFA 14 (with the console)
Killer Instinct
Crimson Dragon
Extra Controller

Probably one other game, maybe Ryse depending on reviews.

If anyone cares: Next week PS4 and Killzone only.

This is probably a dumb question, but how much better is AC4 on Xbox One vs 360?? I need to know that there is a difference.
 
Literally rolled my eyes. Right now it isn't (if Uncharted is 2015), by E3? It absolutely will be, Sony will deliver I have no doubt on that.

I don't know why it's so hard to accept that it is subjective. Compared that ps4 lineup even taken out of Uncharted to this

That doesn't make much sense either, Titanfall, Sunset Overdrive, Quantum Break, PvZ(timed exclusive), Kinect Sports Rivals, Halo 5 and Project Spark all coming in 2014.

I see online only games which are locked behind a paywall, Kinect, and Halo. (Can't give an opinion to QB, no gameplay yet). IMO, the exclusive lineup is much better this year for MS, and reversed for next year.

I think most of this squabbling over exclusives is moot because the games people are going to be excited to play next will be the unannounced third parties that will be on both platforms.

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
Ryse
DR3
Forza
KI Ultra
Zoo Tycoon
Golf

for starters.

This is my exact list, unfortunately the brutal reviews have turned me off Crimson Dragon. Maybe I'll pick it up during a sale.
 
This. Why is everyone outside of this thread so salty? Both consoles have amazing games coming our way.

Partly because some people don't understand why you'd want a device that does anything other than play games. After seeing Sessler's review of the Xbox One, the additional integration features look fantastic and worth the additional $$ if you want those features.
 

Papercuts

fired zero bullets in the orphanage.
I got the email for free KI and I'm getting Dead Rising 3. Ryse and Battlefield 4 are coming from gamefly.

I was interested in Crimson Dragon but the payment stuff sounds gross. I'll wait on user impressions on that.

Mine is Two Day and still hasn't shipped yet. Delivery Estimate still Friday.
Same here.

For the love of everything Dice please have BF4 in a playable state this weekend. Gonna power through the single player ASAP to get it out of the way. Should be ready for multi Saturday. Anyone know how long the campaign is?

Was gonna grab Crimson Dragon but those reviews are no bueno. Think I'll go with Powerstar Golf along with KI

Normally my amazon shipments to Florida don't wind up being processed until 9-10pm for some reason.. not sure what location they come from.. I'm just hoping it gets here on time with all the talk of people having theirs shipped already.

Due to sheer amount of quality (lets hope) on both sides.

Driveclub, Infamous, Rime?, Order, (Uncharted, is it 2014 because this does level the playing field drastically?) Vs Sunset Overdrive, Halo 5, Garden Warfare, Titanfall, Kinect Sports, Project Spark, Quantum Break and (Fable Legends, 2014?).

Can this change? Yes. Will Sony deliver at E3 and level the playing field? yes. 99% sure.

Don't get bent out of shape because I'm calling a spade a spade. Does this mean people can't prefer the PS4 line up? Nope. I know well enough being a 360 owner the last 3 years getting stick from Sony fans over the line up paling in comparison. As for the launch line ups, reviews agree with me. MS has pipped Sony.

I'm not saying PS4 line up next year is crap, it's not.

As for the bolded, your reasons for discounting those games are ridiculous.

Guys.... Even if you have 2 day shipping does not mean it ships two day. It can ship next day also! You will get it release day. 90% of the time my crap comes next day and not second day. I have been prime since it first was implemented.

The point is you will get it on release day.
