New "Take Control" contest. Based on the timeline any custom controller resulting from the contest wouldn't be out until mid-2014 at the earliest, but still pretty cool. I'd definitely pick up the first one.

I'm really not feeling the Day One controller, but it doesn't really matter. Maybe I can find someone to trade that for a standard one.

My friend preordered from Target and he seems to think he might not get a console unless he's there right when the store opens. Is he guaranteed a console if he goes tomorrow?

 

[sith ewok]

It's going to be in the low 40's tonight when I line up. This is going to suck. haha

Having a blizzard here right now here - 15 is the high for today. Trying to convince myself I don't really need it at midnight...

 

[Ovid]

I may have an extra Xbox One available if anyone is interested.

PM me if you're interested.

 

[p3tran]

If any of you are in or near NYC tonight - come by! Larry, Marc Whitten, Yusuf and I along with a bunch of other Xbox team members are going to be there all night!

[shermas]

Just sold mine on eBay... *sniff* first time I've not had an xbox at launch to play, but I really need the money right now.

Hope all you guys enjoy it tonight/tomorrow.

geoffkeighley: Tonight we will be announcing our first official VGX world premiere inside Xbox: Day One Countdown on Spike at 11 PM and online.

Its Quantum Break or Sunset Overdrive. Pretty clear we won't hear about Halo until next year, we know QB is at VGX, Sam Lake is there tomorrow (as you'd expect when they're making a big game for MS) but its likely QB.

I've had a feeling since it was first revealed that the new controller would be a great platform for custom controllers and special editions. I suspect they may have even designed them with that in mind - there's so much flat real estate on them compared to 360.

Those look great.

 

[oconnomiyaki]

Thanks for your impressions. Just curious, how do you return an opened game?

Depends where he lives, but in New Zealand you can take back games to EB Games within 7 days if you don't like it.

 

[PAULINK]

Love the black box. Can't have any of this greeny stuff.

Agreed, day one master race.

2 more hours until I'm off work and off to wait in line to pre-purchase at gamestop! woooo.

hm, tempting...

 

[oconnomiyaki]

Oh yeah, after all the talk, I was surprised at it's size. It's not really that big at all. It's certainly a lot taller than the PS4, but I don't look at them side by side and go "Well fuck me that's a huge bitch!"

How's the Kinect stuff? Is it as bad as the videos we've been seeing?

 

[Thebonehead]

Are there any official reviews of the 3rd party games; BF4, AC4, COD etc

I haven't seen any videos, so you'll have to elaborate.

I got it to turn my console on via "Xbox, on!" and I thought that was pretty cool. Haven't been able to get any of the other voice commands working, though. I think it's a combination of my accent and not actually knowing what the hell they are, haha!

 

[Day Dreamer]

I wish I was close to NY!!! Looks like a good way to kick off a great console. Can't wait for tonight though : )

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Going to feel lonely on my friends list tommorow Hope to get one by Xmas

Cheers. I'll give them a go when I get home and let people know how I go with my funny accent.

MS ninjas will surely vet any bad stuff - unless is semi-cunningly disguised.

 

[Steverulez]

Unfortunately all I could find on the Xbox website was this list which starts with German and French then decides it doesn't care... sorry I couldn't find more!

 

[xXxDieselxXx]

Calling John McClane!

 

[vexvegaz]

Was going to head out to times square to pick one up, but after seeing the vid and the line. there's no way im gonna be able to get one. Really wanted to pre-order but funds was not cooperating at the time.

 

[Steverulez]

Where did you get that? Is there a higher quality version?

I took it from Gameguyz originally but they posted that MS asked them to take it down. Heres a copy from my abload account though that I saved for me to print tomorrow (MS ninjas might try and take it down though)

 

[Militant17]

Thanks for your impressions. Just curious, how do you return an opened game?

EBGames lets you return a game and swap it for another if you don't like it as long as it's within seven days.

We used to have that over here until people started abusing it.

Yeeaaabhhhhhhh posted my tweet to NYC, love from London UK ;D

 

[StudioTan]

My Amazon order has finally changed to Preparing for Shipment. I'm only 30 mins from the distribution center, I wonder what the odds are it goes out tonight and I get it tomorrow? The estimated delivery is still showing Nov 29th to Dec 3rd but I would often get stuff in 1 or 2 days because of how close I am.

Maybe I'll stop by. Any events or things taking place?

Will all Micorosft Store's have extra "Day One Editions" available for purchase at midnight?

 

[Albert Penello]

Ok so I was just down at the Best Buy theater.

We do have Day One edition consoles to sell there. So if people want to get a unit TONIGHT I think this will be a good shot.

I'm getting more info from the team, but for now I'm putting out the word.

 

[Albert Penello]

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis
Day One consoles

And of course cool people in line and Xbox Live's Major Nelson

 

[RedRooster]

Gonna go grab BF4 and Rivals tonight and then hunker down for my console delivery tomorrow morning.
Next 11 days off work, this is gonna be pretty alright!

Damn that is awesome. I wish I could be off for 11 straight days. My mother in law is coming to visit tomorrow and my mom comes in on Monday, I am hardly going to get any XB1 time the next few weeks.

That's awesome. I have next week off of work, but the in-laws are coming this weekend, so I anticipate I won't get a good amount of time to sink in until Monday.

Kinect Sports Rivals? That's not out until next year. However there is a free version with just the wave racing.

 

[The Flash]

Alright guys, I'm off to GameStop to try to get a non-preorder unit. Fingers crossed.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Alright guys, I'm off to GameStop to try to get a non-preorder unit. Fingers crossed.
