Oh man no, I wouldn't do that!

Maybe you could put a shelf up to put your stationary and stuff on, that looks like it would free up enough space?

Hm. I was just thinking I could put a book under the TV and move it further back, then put the bone in front or something. Don't want to move the TV much closer.

Shit new page, um, get hyped for Forza 5!

I had a question guys. I'm getting an Xbox One at launch now. But, my brother is moving to Japan. I know Xbox One isn't being sold in Japan this year. However, if my brother gets an Xbox One before moving, can he use it in Japan? Will he have to get a special power adapter? (Would they even make one, since it's not out in Japan yet?)

This would be huge for my family, because it means that we can Skype with him in 1080p. But it's also cool because, my family often uses Hulu and Netflix. And so they can be doing that, or even watching TV with Xbox, and my brother can call them at any time and the notification would pop up -- and they would be talking face to face.

Just wasn't sure if it would be possible at launch. Even if it's not, I guess it will be eventually. This is game changer for my family tbh.

He'll probably just need a transformer so that he doesn't accidentally fry it. I accidentally fried my OG Xbox when my family moved to Thailand because I plugged it directly into the wall. Sad day.

I'm getting excited now, clearing a space tonight for the xbox one. Packing up stuff to trade in and get some more credit for midnight launch!

Grabbing day one console with forza.
BF4
Dead Rising 3
Killer Instinct
Lego Marvel (it was apparently half price but don't know if they will honour it because of delay)

Think that will do me nicely, maybe grab some more games in new year.

This is what you need: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000MK2Y2K/?tag=neogaf0e-20

If you look in the customer images you can see that someone has a fat PS3 under this, meaning that it should fit the XB1.

Anyone knows what Killer Instinct: Round One is?

I think that's how they're terming the initial package. They supposedly intend to have future seasons/rounds and when all's said and done you'll have a $60 fighter with everything you'd expect from one at that price.

Oh wow.

The could be mixed in with a bunch of real photos and I wouldn't be able to tell you which was from the game. That is seriously amazing.

The XB1 is region free, so I don't see why not. As for the adapter, I'm guessing that yes you would need some sort of power adapter/transformer. It wouldn't need to be anything special though.

If you're in the US, something like this should do

Ooh! That is exactly what I need. Only a foot long...damn, I'll have to figure out a few measurements but that might work perfectly well. Might be a bit too long but I'll break out a measuring tape.

Thanks for the heads up my man.

What are people going to do it they get their console early?
Surely grabbing the update and logging onto live may cause a console ban?
Wonder if Major Nelson is having a little look in here and can maybe clarify.

They said to that guy that got banned he'd be allowed on live before launch. I have a feeling anyone that gets it monday onwards will be fine.

It causes a ban up until launch. You can still play single player while banned though.

I'm going to the midnight launch at the Microsoft store...so no shipment notices for me ;_;

Does anyone know what they'll be doing? Never been to an MS store midnight launch (no KI tournament at the one I'm going to)
