Anyone order from UK GAME?

When I pre ordered in August I got a standard bundle, but a few weeks after a saw a news piece saying all previous pre orders were bumped up to Day One version. I've not heard anything from GAME tho?

Really want a Fifa/Forza code so I can trade it for XBL points :
you will get a fifa or forza edition. I need the xbox live points to pay for these bloody expensive beers.

Theoretically, could I hook up my PC to the HDMI in and use XBMC on the One? Without DVR support, I don't see much reason to use my DirecTV box just yet.

I imagine a few people around the Microsoft offices are changing their pants right now. But it seems that the Microsoft problems are over.

Can anyone find either a Download manager or a storage management option? When it updates a game it appears that there's no way to find out the progress :|

Oh man, not again. 5 in the morning. I remember staying up all night for the PS4 launch event and thinking "that's it?" - no way I'm staying up this time haha. But gotta wake up for it sure. :)

I said the same thing! But I have a newborn ....so I am always up. Lol. Ugh

The new dpad really is an improvement on the on screen keyboard, considering how many times I just entered my network password.
 
Nope, smartglass is out too.



Thanks, man how are you doing?

Well, I suppose about as well as you can realistically expect after a major loss in the family, but as I said in another thread, we're all in good spirits and really coming together as a family, trying to make any preparations we need to do a team effort, and the costs are a little steep, but we'll manage because we have to. Anything less than a proper service would be regrettable for everybody involved, so we're really trying to do our best. We had a pretty nice family night last night that, surprisingly, included a family viewing of the latest south park episode lol.

Every bit as important, however, is that we have all re-committed quite seriously to stay in touch as much as possible, both via phone and in person without any long durations in between, because everybody was stunned with the loss of my uncle. He's been there for everybody in this entire family at all major times of need. When you could rely on nobody else, he was always there. This is the guy everybody shared things with, the guy everybody found easy to talk to, the guy everybody everywhere loved to death. He was my uncle, but I never thought of him that way. He was much more like a brother to me. You know the type, the big brother you're happy just to be around or be associated with. Not to get any sappier than I've already been, but my father wasn't around much when I was growing up, and it wasn't really until I heard that I lost my uncle on Tuesday that I realized that the only reason I never missed having a father around in the first place is because I had one the whole time. Lots of awesome memories, so in a lot of ways it's those memories that are keeping everybody in the family strong and together right now. Doing precisely what he did when he was with us. So, again, in really high spirits, thanks for asking.

And, separately, what's been really amazing and totally unexpected during this is how both the Ryse team and Turn 10 have reached out to me regarding the loss in my family, even going so far as to send me copies of each game. I mean, there's just no words for that. It's just really awesome.

So yeah I am waiting at my local GAME store in the queue to get my console! :D

I pre-paid yesterday and I should be ablr to join the fast lane queue so I just grab my swag bag of sorts and walk out in the next gen.

Anyone buying DR3 online so you can just play it anytime?

Seems like the perfect game like gta where you just go to fuck around when taking a break from whatever other games you are playing?

That is really cool.

MS should have step up with a console too ;)

I'm waaaaaay out of the loop but the twitch app is available or not? I just checked my email and received one from twitch announcing the XBOX ONE APP available at launch tomorrow.

It’s official — Twitch arrives on Xbox One tomorrow. Just by watching your favorite games on the big screen you can earn achievements. Whether you watch one or a hundred hours of Twitch on your Xbox One, you’ll unlock something magical. There are 10 achievements in all, so start putting those eyeballs to work. To help you out, here are some great Xbox One broadcasts to kick off your viewing:

Twitch viewing app is there at launch. Twitch streaming comes in early 2014. They said they weren't happy with its current state (apparently they have grander ambitions than with PS4 Twitch integration).

Peroni is offline here now, thank feck at that price, on the Stella now, £4.55 a pint, feck me. The Queue is bloody big now.

Your pub updates are hilarious. When I was in GAME on the weekend I made a comment how I doubted the line for the Xbox One would be as big as the GTA 5 one and she just gave me a ruthful look lol. So I think there are going to be huge lines up and down the country.

For the update - mine's been sitting at "Getting ready..." for about 10 minutes now. Should it have progressed by now?

For watching, not streaming. Xbox live back here.

You can't stream, but you can watch streams.

That's just an app to watch streams. You can't broadcast yet

OH! i see, thanks for the info.
 
SHIPPED! Day One, baby!

I think I'm looking at getting NFS Rivals, maybe Forza 5 also though I don't know if I need two racing games, Dead Rising, Killer Instinct and Powerstar Golf.
