I just want Dead Rising. First thing I'll do is enable that clock. Hopefully I'll find a mannequin at the beginning that for some unknown reason is the best weapon you can have when starting out. Or boxing gloves with knives. And I want to be able to drag 15 people with me to fight a boss who was evilly placed in a bathroom.
 
Those new achievements pics sure look nice, but I think I prefer the small icon-like ones. I loved seeing the creative designs devs would come up for their achievement icons.

I really wanted to play this console day one. Too bad that in Brazil pre-ordering works a little different (I pre ordered the console a few months ago, and despite already having to pay for it, it will only be shipped on the 22nd, when it was supposed to arrive that day)...

So, i'll probably have to wait an extra week or so compared to everyone else :(

Have the X1D1 all set for Best Buy in store pickup. Forza LE coming from Amazon. I may need to get something else for the overnight hours to play until Amazon shows up at 2PM.

As for the free games program mentioned earlier, They inevitably have to be of a better value this time around. The games they gave away for free were all ones you could find pretty cheap elsewhere at the time of the giveaway.
 
Getting FIFA (free EU Day1) and 2K .
Cannot wait. So happy that PS4 games and Hardware suck and I made the right choice.
When Titanfall drops all them PS4 Resolution Nazis will be butthurt as f*+*

Hope Ryse and DR3 are ~7-8 score.

PS4 has no game

EDIT: I would take out the fanboy shit out of your post, homey.

That's weird, isn't Brazil one of the few places that actually makes their own Xbox Ones?

Really? Really? No need to stoop to that level. Getting only an Xbox One here, but I'm not happy that there are hardware issues for the PS4. No need to stoop to that level even though a lot of people acted that way towards the Xbox

Getting FIFA 14 for free (maybe I will resell it) Dead Rising 3 and Ryse.

Also I plan on buying some digital games, Maybe KI and Peggle 2 if available at launch.

Yesterday I almost broke an ankle, medic told me to stay at home 1-2 weeks, I can't drive to get my X1 when it's out, fuck.

Yeah, I guess XD

Perhaps the store I bought from is just trolling me? Right now it says that delivery date is estimated on the 29th, but I would love if it arrived earlier.

Maybe he is happy because he feels he made the right choice? This thread is positive but don't think for a second that Xbox fans are not rated high in the ban priority list. Lots of junior fanboys sour the experience for the rest of us.

Those new achievement screens look awesome. I did notice a play option on the screens, I recall it being mentioned that the game dvr records these achievements. Maybe this is playback of this?

Great OT and thank you for taking the time to create it fellow GAFfer.

I believe in the past months Microsoft had some trouble trying to convince some consumers as to why should they get the Xbox One. The implementation of DRM was something that even after they removed that, may haunt them for quite some time. To me, I still believe that what really matters in the end are games. All of them, exclusives or not and most important: never forget to have fun with them, because that's the point of playing a videogame. As we have seen lately there have been some really "consoles wars" on GAF and in my more places (but I only care for GAF and it's GAFfers).

I think that, we all should focus on keeping a polite, mature and proper discussion in here. It's great when we all have fun, no matter the platform. I owned but 360+Kinect and PS3 this current gen and it was amazing. Great times are coming for both Sony and Microsoft, yet I feel that we, as gamers, consumers and forum members should also do our part to keep this place the best place to be to talk and discuss what we like the most: games & the gaming industry. I hope we can manage to achieve that friendly community in here without judging other's tastes based on games or consoles preferences, or mock because one can't afford all games or all consoles and so on. By doing this we will have our fun and the mods can rest for a bit on the banning members too. Everybody can win in here.

As to myself I can't get the Xbox One right now. Even if the consoles won't be releasing in here, there's a local console that will get some units and I could order from Amazon.uk but having too much obligations (health and others) and less disposable income forced me to skip Xbox One for a good time. As a huge Forza fan, seeing that Limited Edition with the Steelbook sure is hard to pass. But that's not the worst, what I'm really going to miss is the amazing and friendly FORZA-GAF Community which always have been unique not to forget that they create amazing paint jobs on cars. That game is going to be truly missed but bills & health comes first, right?

To all those getting the Xbox One Day one I hope you can have a wonderful time. It's great to be here with you all sharing and discussing a new generation of consoles from Microsoft and Sony. I hope you all can have great fun with the games and I wish you the best for having a unit without hardware or software issues since it's something we are all scared about on launch day. I will be waiting for impressions, checking those nice pick-up posts and keep a look on the "Show your gaming setup" thread too so I can keep gathering inspiration from a clean minimalist look on my place. Have fun y'all, I'll be around checking those impressions with this fine Community filled by many great fellow GAFfers!

Hey, I habe been getting abuse for buying Xbox1 since the summer from my co workers. Germany = 80% Sony Land.
MS had to give FIFA 14 away for free so they could at least move some units.

I am happy with my choice. Ps4 does (in my opinion) suck right now and has no game 4 real. Knack and KZSF are not games for me.

Hopefully you won't be around when Titanfall drops.

We really don't need posters like yourself bringing down GAF with immature fanboy bs.

Are the screens actual grabs when you achieve them? Or generic pictures attached to the achievement by the dev. If it was the former that would be really cool.

That's understandable, but the fanboy shit on GAF has been awful this year. No need to add to the heap of ugly shit.

I think the play button is just to start the game. Although the new achievements look great, I wonder if they will still have the classic style icons so you can track them on xbox.com. Also, can people on 360 see your One games played and achievements?

You don't need to be a Sony/PS4 hater to like Xbox One, both will be great consoles in their own right, posts like this don't help discussion in here.

Other than it being fanboy drivel, you really should wait until your favoured console has launched before you start talking about reliability. Tempting fate.

It's going to be a long generation, and this is the dumbest thing to say. Only time will tell whiich system will have the definite games, online service, features.

This is problem here. GAF is not just some place that you can come vent your fanboi frustrations, you really wont last in here with that attitude.

Also, pretty nice OT, KI and forza looks really good!

Both machines are looking decent, and both will have great exclusives. You might think the xbox line-up looks better right now, but most preview reports of Ryse are less than glowing and the jury is out on DR3 until people get proper hands on.

Titanfall is going to be neat, but it's also on pc. It's also not the only game in the existence of everything.

Think you should dial back on the banboi, bro.

Anyone looked into the Turle Beach XBO headsets? I might grab one as I don't have good ones right now.
I have a pair of xp510's and really that's the only thing that sucks. I have to wait for an adapter to use them properly.

Luckily the kinect has a built in mic so I can still use the headphone portion and talk through kinect if needed. Hopefully it works well

I use the X12's currently on the 360 and love them so I will definitely be grabbing a new pair when they become available. It is just a pity that they got delayed into 2014 so they can ship with that adapter that MS is working on.

Then fucking ban me.will not come in here again anyways.
Less freedom of speech in here than in the dritte Reich. Goebbels would have loved guys like you.
Just read an ignore. That s what I did since May to those DRM, 720pm and Ryse sucks comments.

Heil Sony! (You get banned if you don`t finish your post like this)
