Just switch your account to the UK and buy games there from now on. 53 € for most games, digital only games for 19 €. Might actually go digital only after seeing that.

If I'm able to switch back to the German region immediately, I might do that.

No, you're gonna have to wait three months. Or you could create a secondary account for the UK and buy all the stuff with it. After all it's locked to your console and you can use it with every gamertag that's on your console.

I'm not talking about my XBL profile region. It is known that this region is independent from the one you choose on your console.

Which ones? Everything I looked at was the same price as GAME

DR3 - £44.99 online, GAME RRP is £49.99 according to their site.
Same for Forza/Ryse I think.

Game are doing a £10 off per game deal thingy, so it doesn't matter much for launch it seems.

If I'm mistaken, feel free to correct me :)

I have just paid off my pre-order Xbox one in Game Cardiff, they asked me which version I wanted Fifa or Forza apparently it's up to you until the stocks of one the other run dry. Picking it up at midnight.

Still haven't decided if I'll go to the midnight launch.

A move called Sharknado has just come on TV (yes, live TV!) and it's....it's....it's magnificent.

Well boys just back from EB games. Ticket number 3 ready for pickup midnight. Got Ryse(just read the reviews quite a bummer) and BF4. Thankfully have the FIFA code as well. Can't wait. If anyone's in Sydney you might want to check out center point tower. It's lit up in green and there's a massive countdown. Really cool stuff.

No charge as of yet from MS Store and even though I'm prime member, I got some games and a gamepad left in the cold through Amazon. Viva la vida!!
Last time I preorder from both... For people in France, some ordered from places like Cdiscount and Rue du Commerce and already got their consoles :eek:

6:30 am, 69f right now, maximum of 84f today here in FL. Im heading to my local Best Buy in about an hour to line up for a non-pre-order Xbone and limited edition Forza 5. Will definitely be first in line. Wish me luck!

MS only have themselves to blame for Ryse. Its what happens when you tell a developer to make one game for Kinect, then ask them to change focus halfway through development.

Edit. That being said, I still expect the game to sell ok.

I guess that's either the managers decision or they have additional stock of each Day 1 edition which they were referring to. In the Caerphilly store we are giving people whichever one it is they had preordered.

Digital prices I don't think are that bad. Some games might be cheaper but if I bought the same 7 in the shop it would basically work out €35-40 more.

Obviously you could put that towards another game but I would rather have them on disc.

Shame about the Ryse reviews being all over the place.

If it wasn't for the setting, I wouldn't have got it. Just going to have some mindless fun like I used to with Dynasty Warriors games back in the day, except this will even have less replay value...

Just realized all launch games are underwhelming for both consoles, bringing my hype down is going to help me wait for this damn Day One console which won't arrive at launch ::sighs::

I think it's been clear for a while the game is worth playing just for the setting. Some of the locations you visit look awesome.

Anyone here that had RYSE on their to-buy list bailing after the reviews? I'm still soldiering on, despite the mixed nature (and wow are they mixed).

I salute your enthusiasm.

Buy it physical, so at least you can sell or trade it afterwards. Do it quick - I think there will be a glut in a week or so.

Did that Spanish guy ever get his Xbox fixed? A french user claimed to have the same problem and called MS and they told him to unhook Kinect for the startup installation and it worked.
