Amazon f'd up my Day One Edition of Ryse and Dead Rising. They were ordered to arrive on release day and now the email me to say they wont arrive until sometime next week. Arggggghhhhh!

I tried calling, but it was too late to change it.

Does anyone know if the Digital Versions include the Day 1 content?

So I guess they periodically come out and take people inside to process their preorders. Mines paid for and I have to go back at midnight to pick it up. Nice. That explains why there were only 3 people in the pre-order line.

Anyway, here she is. Soon...

Yes, as LONG as you buy them within the first 2 weeks.

GAF, so close! So excited!

^^^^ Cool to hear about the digital copies. Yes I do not want to swap discs...instant switching etc...but I will miss the game trade credits, ;)

Really Loud Fan.

Really? Most here have been saying that it is nearly silent. Really hoping it's quiet. The loud fan is one of the things I'm disappointed in with the PS4. It's not terrible, but much louder than I would like.

Temperature is down to four degrees. I'm waiting until Gamestop is actually open (10 pm mountain time) before I jump in line. Yikes.

Hope you guys have a good launch. Anybody that's getting a console have fun at your midnight launch, be safe( It's icing where I am at yikes!) and get home and enjoy your games :) Don't listen to any noise about defective stuff for at least 2-4 days if you ask me. There is going to be a few hiccups for sure but no way of knowing how widespread it is. Next gen is complete tonight. Current gen is now. Let's all play video games.

Had mine for 3 hours, everything went smoothly. Dead Rising is great fun, Killer Instinct downloaded fast and the machine is very quiet. Looks nice in the flesh and not as large as I thought it would be. Ryse looks nice and I'm just installing Forza now.

loving it so far.

Complain see if they can give you some free credit if they messed up your order.

Thanks, duder.

I'm excited for all of my next gen bros.

Edit: and brodets!!
 
Well it's almost time.

Who was waiting in line at midnight 8 years ago today?

I was, I went into Best Buy tonight to trade in my old Arcade 360 and saw the line outside the door around 20-30 deep for non -preorders (I was that guy launch 2005).

I smiled and reminded myself of the good time I had, which led to an evil laugh as I thought about mine being delivered tomorrow at work by Amazon.

So Amazon sent me an email saying that because of the amount of orders on Wednesday my order is being switched to a standard edition, may experience a shipping delay of 1-3 days (still says I'll be getting mine tomorrow) and I'll receive $50 off the purchase. Don't know how to feel about it honestly. The $50 is nice but I kind of wanted the commemorative controller and day one achievement. If I get it tomorrow I'll consider it a net positive though probably.

Every game I've tried so far (NFS Rivals, DR3 and Ryse) uses the system language as a default setting for game language.

Yikes... You've tried setting it to an English locale see if it changes? I'm just worried for Ryse and DR3 only come in French here after seeing a pic of the cases.

Anyone know if there's a way to mount the Kinect on the TV? I know there's a mount coming out from PDP, but it doesn't release until December 4th (based on Amazon). I've seen videos with it mounted on the TV, so anyone got any ideas?

I just picked up that very mount from Best Buy. Its definitely out so I have no idea why Amazon would have that date on it.

Respect! Well-said. You getting one delivered like me? I'm getting too old to do the whole stand outside freezing for hours thing, but I wish everyone the best that is doing it today. They are true troopers
 
Tip: Before installing a game from the bluray disc, the system will download all the updates for that game, and some updates are 1GB or more.

Some people will think that the drive is not working.
