Doing that right now.
If you can, call them. Chat can be a little standoffish.
Can Major Nelson please show up with a warm blanket for me also? Have a serious flu bug but still plan to be at the midnight launch tomorrow. Gonna be cold. So why am I doing the midnight launch? Because the last time I ditched one I showed up the next morning with my ticket at GameStop and found out they sold my PS3. Fuckers. Not gonna let that happen again.
Forza and Ryse for me tomorrow.
Btw-so much salt in this oficial thread. Get a life and let people enjoy their toys and excitement. Pissing in official threads is a no no.

I'm assuming that if they are offline it doesn't have a real date to go off of. Therefore, it likely gives it a minimum datetime value, which is likely 1/1/1751 for whatever database they are using. Just a guess, could be wrong.
Well the guy in chat upgraded the speed from 2 Day to 1 Day so I should get it on the 22nd now(before it was the 26th). So we'll see.
Well that's good!

This is true, but this issue doesn't ococur on the Xbox 360 smartglass app, only on the Xbox one app meaning it must be a glitch. Anyoen can also verify?
What date displays on the 360 smartglass app?
I understand its an odd glitch on a new app, but is it really a big deal?

When did you order from them? I got my shipping email from them on Monday.

What's funny is early on I thought Driveclub would be meh and that Infamous would be great but my opinion on both have totally changed. The recent Infamous gameplay vid was straight up boring honestly, he was just running around shooting at hordes of enemies with his fire/smoke balls. It seemed way too easy but ever since Driveclub has gotten delayed it's looked fantastic in those facebook clips. The lighting is so realistic.

Amazon pls
Me too

It really depends on how close you are to shipping center. The PS4 I had ordered from Amazon shipped on Thursday and arrived on Friday, and it was sent UPS ground. It only had to travel around ~150 miles from the closest shipping center/warehouse.

Just finished uploading my Xbox One un-boxing video. This is the special white Microsoft employee Xbox One - enjoy!

Its not really a glitch. Offline achievements don't get time stamped like online ones so like Godslay said, the app is just defaulting to a random date. It's really not that big of an issue if at all.
I gotta ask, how'd you get an employee "I Made This" console?

He said ".. at work" so I'm assuming he works at MSFT.
Yeah, that's basically just a luck-of-the-draw situation. I live about 20 minutes from a Best Buy distribution center, but extremely far from an Amazon one. It's awesome, as several games I have pre-ordered from BB arrived the day before release.

Well, yeah, that'll do it. I only asked cause you really never made it clear in the video. (EDIT... yeah, you did... "The package we were given at work." My bad.)
By being an employee, I say, thank you for making it. Can't wait to get mine tomorrow night.
That's why I'm curious what the 360 smartglass app gives in terms of a date. If it doesn't give one, I'm of the assumption that it is being hidden, and 1/1/1751 is stored in that field. I'm assuming that it isn't being hidden in the Xbone app, and that datetime is being displayed. Just a guess from working with SQL server.

It's annoyign really, plus the xbox 360 smartglass app shows no date for offline achievments.

Thank you for helping in making something that I'm assuming is amazing! Despite what some trolls say, the thing seems to be a beast!

I seriously hope MS will be updating their OS cause while the UI seems gorgeous, responsive and all, the fact that you cannot install games and download at the same time is bullshit (as seen in the moonlight stream). Additionally many people don't have a great download speed in here, users reporting having to wait 3 hours before they play their games is such a turn off. I don't mind waiting for 10-15minutes but cmon, every single game has a hefty patch to download day one. Once again, sucks for users with slow ass Internet.
LOL, look at that front page, GAF is really pulling double duty these days to down play the Xbox One...
If you're buying digitally you download the patch and game at the same time and it is downloading and installing at the same time too.

Yeah i would agree with this theory, hence they should hide it again if they can.

Ridiculous for not being interested in Kinect? And considering the fact that majority of xbox owners don't even and won't own Gold making several games on that list unplayable. Yeah, you continue having a hard time grasping what an opinion is.
Thanks for sharing! Looks awesome. Hope they sell the controller.
As I thought. Sounds like the achievement date is hidden on the X360 app front end in some way. Basically, it would be something like if achievement date is equivalent to that min value then hide it in the UI. Seems like that block of code didn't make it over to the Xbone app. It isn't necessarily a glitch, just not complete, or they decided to show that date for whatever reason.
It's up for me!

Guess mine will ship tomorrow. Amazon stuff usually comes from Nevada, so should be here friday. I just wish Amazon would let you select FedEx... UPS is so horrible. I expect to get my Xbone at like 8pm Friday just as I'm heading out ugh

I can leave the kinect in the box, right? I have absolutely zero interest(or room) in using that thing
I think you need to connect it up once with setting your console up, then you can unplug and do away with it.

That's true. Where I live in PA, they could probably ship it same day and I would still get it. To bad they don't let you pick up straight from their warehouse.
got my controller, LOL
Man this controller is so good. The triggers feel even better than the 360's if that's possible. They don't push down too far, so you have a solid backing on them. The bumpers are better than I remember - I usually hit them by the edge of my fingers anyway.

Awesome. Maybe I should try and sell it =P
Worth a shot! Might have to wait a while tho for some to break so people are looking for them.
