Cool. I haven't been able to google-fu that info, so I hope it's true.

I'm trying to find where I got that from. Hopefully someone else can chime in as well.

edit: Boom.

Xbox Wire said:
To commemorate the launch of Xbox One, Day One Editions are special game SKUs that include exclusive content and are available only through retail pre-order while supplies last, or via download on Xbox Live the first two weeks after launch.
 
Drove around a bit just to see the lines out here- I'm out in the suburbs of Long Island and there were ~50 people at the Best Buy. Interestingly, saw about 5 females in that crew.

Lack of enthusiasm my ass.

MS can't catch a break. PS4 launch was unseasonably warm for November but it's raining hard tonight. Only 4 people outside my BB and there were like 50+ at this time last week
 
Can anyone tell me about xbox fitness?
Do you get 12 months free from the day you buy an xbox one, or is it 12months from launch day?
So if I buy an xbox in 4 months time, do I get 12 months free, or 8 months?

It's free until Jan 01 2015 I believe. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

For those who don't know Best Buy is acccepting trade-ins on 360s or PS3s for $100.

Traded in my old Xbox 360 Arcade Unit.

Not actually getting a Xbox One myself yet, but when I went there around 7PM there were three tents out and a couple other guys already lined up.

Been in line for 3 hours. Got about 30 people ahead of me. Pretty optimistic about my chances even though the Best Buy employee wouldn't say how many they had

This has been Shipping Now since noon today. Not going to lie, I'm a little worried.

Mine has been the same way and the delivery estimate changed to Tuesday, November 26, I am so pissed off spent a good couple hours on the phone with amazon and they offered me a $20 credit I was so pissed I said I don't want no damn credit I want my system tomorrow as originally promised. I ordered my day one edition on June 10.

Got mine. All good, downloading heaps of stuff so haven't played anything yet. Also working technically. :)

Impressions from me:

It's very heavy and the power brick is huge.

Patches! 6gb for Forza, one for DR3, and it grabs the patch as soon as the disc is in.

Games stop downloading and move onto the next item in your queue as soon as the game is playable for some reason. Can't figure that out yet. Guess the goal is to make all progress playable rather than get 100% on the lot.

Super sleek looking.

Kinect voice works perfectly for me without reading the specific commands, but I did watch the IGN and Gizmodo videos for impressions. That's in Australia too.

Pretty pumped!

Sorry to read that. :(

What's worse is that I live 15 minutes from one of Amazon's distribution warehouses. I could could have driven over to pick it up if they'd let me.
