If Titanfall is on your Radar go Xbox, as PVZ also comes in Feb

BF4 is unplayable on PS4, with no sign of a fix, the first big game on PS4 is Second Son so PS4 can wait, if there is nothing that takes your fancy

but as many reviewers have said, go with what games appeal to you the most

Unfortunately I'm interested in too many games and I'm also addicted to new console smell. Think I'm going to try and squeeze both in. Can always sell some organs or something. No sweat.

Mediamarkt here are only doing one package online at €525 but it includes CoD: Ghosts.

They seem to be selling them now though since this morning they've been available to reserve and pickup within 2 hours.

So in store they will have regular packs (without Ghost) for 500 EUR?
I wouldnt mind a bundle with BF4.

Alright, the new download store is sort of working for me now. Queued up Killer Instinct and Xbox Fitness to download when my console gets here in a few hours.

Dear Amazon,

It's 5pm and you shipped my friends console at 11:30am. Please hurry up and send mine.

Yours faithfully

An anxious customer

They haven't sent either of the One's I've ordered yet, they've been 'dispatching now' since this morning. They sent my controller this afternoon using Yodel's '24hr' service though... my expected delivery date for it is the 23rd-25th.

I'm not holding out much hope of seeing my console tomorrow :(
 
Exact same situation here. Mine has been on 'Dispatching Now' allllllllllllll day.

It's crazy, I'm on the verge of cancelling and hitting Tesco at midnight.

Edit: They sent my BF4 today. I swear to god if the game turns up tomorrow and no console BF4 is going out the window!

So excited, but I just wrote down all of the games that I want to get tomorrow and it's overwhelming.

Xbone, Nba 2k, KI, Forza, DR3, Tearaway, Mario, and Zelda. Ouch. It's gonna be rough.

Haven't heard of any busted XBO as yet. Very cool.

There was a video of a Spanish guy with a broken console. He would keep hitting the power button and it would just shut off immediately. It was sort of easy top dismiss it away as user error, though, since he had the console perched precariously on top of a 360.
 
Well it's not looking good. My local Game only got enough X1s to fill current pre-order levels, looks like John Lewis and the supermarkets are my only hope to get one now...

Fingers crossed, but I'm preparing myself for the worse and not being able to play DR3 until the new year...

Gamezz are here!! Ryse, DR3 and BF4. The store I ordered Forza 5 from can't get their shit together apparently, so no Forza on launch. :(

Console coming tomorrow.

Yodel for some reason always take 2-3 days for 24hr delivery up here but Amazon insist on using them now and again for Prime delivery. It sucks when City Link and DPD are always next day :/

Edit: They sent my Dead Rising yesterday and it never turned up today btw, fingers crossed for your BF4!
 
Going with Amazon probably wasn't the most sensible thing to do considering their service has been going to shit since August. Not sure what happened, but it went from games arriving next day to couple of days after release or even more, Beyond took almost two weeks to arrive.

At this I had enough and cancelled all existing pre-orders and said good day to them.

I really hope my local GameStop will have some non-preorder units available. Guess I'll find out later today. Regardless though, HYPE!!!

Can anyone who has an XBO up and running try seeing if Plex/Web runs in IE?

IE on 360 doesn't support the streaming method it uses, but it works on PS4/WiiU and I'm imagining it will work on XBO.

Just grabbing Killer Instinct at launch. Already picked up most the 3rd party stuff on PS4, so it'll be wave 2 before I'm really looking to get anything for the XB1. Actually, I might do the trade up on Ghosts from 360 to XB1. Might as well.

Anybody with an x1 take a pic of Netflix snapped with a game? Or has any seen a video with this happening? If the box is as small as it is for tv I would be pretty bummed.

Helpful hint for anybody having trouble turning their console on, don't plug it into a surge protector, it won't work (for some reason).

Fun times...

I always remember being told not to plug in the 360 into a surge protector. So I always plugged it in directly. Was thinking it acted as it's own.

Tonight I clean my setup to prepare for the XB1. Tomorrow I go trade in one of my 360s at Best Buy for that promo. And then I buy some games and play Zelda until my console arrives. And then...well, you know

Always had my 360 plugged into one with no probs, but the Xbox One just sits for about 30 seconds, then powers off. Thought I had a faulty system for about 10 minutes, until I figured it out what was going on.
 
Every time I put Dead Rising 3 into my xbox its giving me the following message "if you have the game disk insert it now, if you don't have the game disk make sure you are signed into Xbox live. If you do not have the rights to this game then you can purchase it from the store". Then it gives me the option to go to the store to purchase the game or to exit.

What the fuck?
