So i heard Killer Instinct comes free with Gold Memberships. Is that true?

NOPE.

 

[Biggzy]

Decided it was too cold outside this evening to be standing in a queue somewhere so I fired up Chrome, loaded up several websites and ... I just managed to order a Day1 Console Forza edition from Tesco Direct. Don't think I've ever hit refresh so many times in such a short period of time ever.

Delivery on Saturday

Talk about striking it lucky. It should be good way to start your weekend.

 

[yankeehater]

Crackdown 3.

Spoiler

I wish.

You and me both. It will be 10 seconds of Quantum Break footage.

 

[dc89]

Tesco and ASDA were both holding small numbers for launch, my local ASDA had 14 PS4's at midnight.

I hope they still have them considering they aren't on sale yet!

 

[CitizenCope]

After 11 years with Live I went PS4. Kinda sad not picking up an Xbox console at launch. Just wanted to tell you guys to enjoy. =)

The "day one memberships" come wit ha code to download the base version of the game (i.e. free with playable Jago) and the Shadow alt/skin for him. You still need to buy everything else ($20, $40, etc.)

 

[Miles Quaritch]

So what are peoples guess for the VGX tease?

Sunset Overdrive.

 

[Sofa King]

I know it's early, but any issues with BF4 being reported? Want the game, but will wait it out if there are.

 

[Kajiba]

Sunset Overdrive.

This or Quantum Break.

And the free character is supposed to rotate out every few months or so, LoL hero-style.

 

[Insane Metal]

How long now, guys?

 

[MThanded]

My gamestop was also selling day one edition xbox live for 40 dollars.

comes with shadow jago.

 

[ParityBit]

It's exciting to hear about you guys in line! I won't have mine until tomorrow night

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Hm, another video pops up of a defective Xbone

Nasty sound

 

[B1gg_Randall]

Dead Rising or Need for Speed???

 

[RocketSurgeryTV]

Dead Rising or Need for Speed???

Dead Rising, if you want a racing game, get Forza.

 

[Family Fry]

Priority queue at GAME. Too bad EVERYONE pre paid.

 

[Steverulez]

Countdown clock on Xbox.com went down to zero and has now started going up, haha

 

[ParityBit]

Priority queue at GAME. Too bad EVERYONE pre paid.

Wow long line! I love it!

 

[yankeehater]

Dead Rising or Need for Speed???

Did you like DR 1 or 2? They are such different games but I would lean towards DR since I am going to get Forza for my racing fix.

 

[Lovely Salsa]

Dayum ryse looks nice. Best looking game out there
Too bad i cant play it on my ps4

 

[keit4]

This guy is currently streaming Killer Instinct at the moment: http://www.twitch.tv/jayex23

The voice commands are working flawlessly for this guy.

 

[GrizzleBoy]

Priority queue at GAME. Too bad EVERYONE pre paid.

What area is that? Must be cold as hell.

 

[Brewer69]

Talk about striking it lucky. It should be good way to start your weekend.

Tell me about it! Was undecided but the good reviews for Forza and Dead Rising made me decide to try and get one now rather than wait until Titanfall and I guess I got lucky!

My credit card now hates me

 

[fernoca]

Gamestop had 2 extra standards left, so paid mine and a friend's. Glad more than anything and thankful to the employee that actually told me and even asked me if I had n additional friend interested in one. Every other store was like "Nope, we only got for preorders; call us next week".

Now, I've been trying to redeem the 12 months membership and $50 to be ready to download Killler Instinct Ultra, but freaking site is not working. :/

 

[djcatskratch]

Just got back from my Gamestop, 3rd in line for tonight. Picked up BF4 at the store and ordered DR3 and FM5 from the MS store today. Now begins the waiting game!

 

[Kacho]

In line baby! #3

also I saw neogaf up on the iPad mini when I went in to take a leak.

Haha awesome man. Stay warm.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Don't worry, these heavily-hyped reveals ALWAYS deliver!

Spoiler

fucking LOL

Forget the fork, my gun is ready

 

[BY2K]

Hm, another video pops up of a defective Xbone

That disc looks hella weird. Are they white dots part of the disc art or is that something else? It looks like he's putting a circular saw in the damn thing.

 

[Doffen]

A lot has already been posted, but feel like gathering some in One.

Xbox New Zealand:

London:

New York:

LA:

Congrats on making it through a post with no bold, underlines, italics or CAPS.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Microsoft know how to put on a launch party don't they? Those Forza pizzas! Yum

 

[U2NUMB]

If anybody wants to get in the 'One' mood,

Spoiler

lol

here, listen to one of the greatest songs ever written.

One - U2

My man

 

[sangreal]

need for speed and forza could not be further apart in gameplay

need for speed is really good but my vote goes to dead rising

 

[piratepwnsninja]

So question...if you buy the digital edition on day one, is it the Day One edition?

 

[djblackice]

The voice commands are working flawlessly for this guy.

Not right now. He couldn't get Forza Motorsport 5 to load through voice commands due to the specificity required. I really think they should allow voice shortcuts so you can just say the first word or some custom shortcut.

 

[Sobriquet]

I think I read that the digital downloads are "Day One" editions for the next two weeks.

 

[GavinGT]

Or at least some sort of "Did you mean:" menu or some other way to tell the system what the intended voice command was.

 

[HeliosT10]

I wouldn't mind one of them right now...

 

[djblackice]

Exactly. I feel casuals are going to have a hell of a time getting used to it considering most people don't even look at the instruction manual let alone a list of commands.

 

[chainfire95]

Here is an interesting video from the Nerdist, not sure if it deserves it's own thread so I'll post it here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyBztyAvhmc

 

[StoopKid]

I want a xbox so badly now.

But my bank account ):

Enjoy your console's gaf. I'll have one hopefully by march.

 

[Kacho]

HMM

 

[Gary Whitta]

Did I hear something about how boxed games can be converted to digital editions after purchase, is that right? Any info on this?

 

[Insane Metal]

I'll ask again... how long until launch?

 

[sangreal]

Did I hear something about how boxed games can be converted to digital editions after purchase, is that right? Any info on this?

don't think so without paying $59.99. you can use the disc to install though

 

[Family Fry]

Good olde Norwich city centre it's absolutely freezing.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Haha. DR3's disc art is indeed a saw blade

 

[RocketSurgeryTV]

I believe that feature was an integral part of the DRM policies, but with the reversal, it has been put on hold.

 

[Miles X]

I'll ask again... how long until launch?

Where?
