Sorry I meant the games. I'm wondering if I can walk into a Best Buy/Walmart and grab a Day One Forza. I see Best Buy is offering them but for shipping only, no in store pickup on their site.

Got mine. All good, downloading heaps of stuff so haven't played anything yet. Also working technically.
Congrats! Thanks for sharing. Any chance you could give more info about Xbox Fitness? How big is the archive? Are all videos free, or only some?
No, from the same retailer (EB), state wide I believe.
Seems pretty rare, but I'm like a magnet for broken electronics.

Dude had BF4 on PS4 snapped while he was playing Forza and then said Go To TV and started playing it, lol.
Not sure if its FUD or jpeople just havent been through a console launch before.
People are like "xbox 360 recall 2.0!!!" because some system have problems. First x360 problem were not know for years. So its silly to worry about problems at launch.
Really my launch x360 lasted longer than my launch ps3 and the ps3 came out a year later. It just hit or miss at console launches.
If they can get the lag down it would be cool. Seems like an easy problem to fix.

Do you have to fake an Australian accent?
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.
Also I am looking right now and it no longer says "Day One Edition" like yours.

I microwave steaks.
See, now that is a different story. Dunno about other stores stock but my gamestop barely had any extras for non pre-orders and when I spoke to a target rep, the dude knew fucking nothing even though I had gotten day 1 cards from the store.
If all else fails and you don't mind waiting, amazon still has them I think.

Anyone received their US copies of games early? Did they do away with the slipcovers?
Mine said the same thing for a while, then switched back to delivery for tomorrow. I wouldn't sweat it. I use Amazon all the time and they haven't let me down on a release day delivery for anything in the past.
There were never slip covers. I believe its just the day one content cards that come with those copies.

Gonna look for a console tomorrow- any ideas where to search? I have Walmart, Best Buy, and several Gamestops nearby. I have the weekend off so could really use the time to enjoy my new console.

There were never any slipcovers to begin with, lol.
Do you have a costco membership? I'd look there if you do.
Yea seriously
Guess I should head over soon then.
Line wasn't really long ... Thought it would have been a midnight thing. I'm here in eatontown nj ... There is no one outside anymore and they may have other preorder tickets available. I will be spending 12 dollars total outside of trade in. Awesome
Sears, sams, costco and kmart are always over looked.
I wouldnt even waste time at best buy or gamestop. Really any place doing a midnight launch.
Thanks for the info, appreciate it.

Microsoft better be glad amazon already shipped my console.
Did someone mention that walmart deal as being changed to include first party titles or was that a fever dream? No other deals I imagine?
Tomorrow? Your best bet is probably Best Buy. Wal Mart will start selling systems at midnight and Gamestop probably sold out of pre orders.
Tough to say though every region is different with supply and demand. Call first and check on available extra systems.

I can only suggest to either get to Walmart/Best Buy early or go to Costco if you can. Gamestop seems like a bad choice since I imagine they don't get as much stock as the bigger retailers.

Quick question about Day 1 consoles(Black box, in AUS includes FIFA).
Are all of them suppose to come with a card for Killer Instict(not sure what edition) and also XBL membership? My friend got one but I didn't. Different stores however, can't confirm if it was just an EB Games thing here in Australia or not.
Thanks

Can anyone with the console change region settings and launch some games to see if it changes Ingame audio?
I hope Amazon doesnt put them back up for sale late tonight like they did PS4. I'm too weak to not buy one.
He apparently read the instructions on how to pause slightly between Xbox and command. Something gaming "journalists" like Gerstmann apparently couldnt come to grips with. Looks great.

Wait there. After the update it may stay at the logo for a few minutes.
just wait. If it's green it is unpacking or installing stuff. Have a cup of tea.

Mine is no where near that responsive, must be something to do with calibration or background noise.

It stays on that screen for like 3-5 minutes as its still updating something. Just let it be. After 10 minutes and nothing happens call support.

Damn thats fluid, doesnt seem to mind an Aussie accent. Maybe its just yanks that are going to suffer
calibration and set up make a big difference. And it will get better as you get to know it.

It's gonna happen. Prepare your wallet.
looks like BF actually works on xb1 so far: http://www.twitch.tv/encryptionnzl

Hopefully holds up for the next day. Are they using these back end servers from MS?

Just wait until the servers are really tested. I don't have faith in DICE's ability to handle a console launch with BF4, but hopefully they come through for XB1 owners.
I wonder if it is using Microsoft's cloud servers, that might be the difference.

lulz dude was about to kill a helicopter and the game crashed. DICE is total shit.
