Punch you from the grave?

Outside of doing all the setup, configuring Kinect and hooking up my cable box, the first game I will play/install is Forza 5. My list in order is as follows:
1. Forza 5
2. Ryse
3. Dead Rising 3
4. Battlefield 4
5. Need for Speed Rivals
6. Skylanders Swap Force
All the download games like Kinect Sports Pre-Season, Killer Instinct will come during some of the breaks in-between some of the main games.
Going to be a long ass day of playing and messing around with all the functions of the system and games.

Nope, I grew up with Playstation. Then PS2. Then PS3. And now Xbone (at a time when the Xbox brand is not exactly in the best situation while Playstation has done pretty damn well for itself). At the end of the day they are just game consoles. Plastic boxes. I don't believe in identifying yourself with products despite whatever marketing forces may want to indoctrinate you with (on either side). If you don't have the money for both choosing your first console is as simple as doing a cost-benefit analysis of what games and ecosystem you prefer more and what money you're able to put down.

Thanks, think I'll stay with it above the TV like now.
This is going to be the longest week of my life. Preordered Forza and intend to get Crimson Dragon and Killer Instinct. If the reviews are where I hope they are come Monday/Tuesday, I'll be grabbing Dead Rising 3 as well, probably digitally.
Problem is I'm leaving town on the 23rd. I plan on bringing my new console with me on the week-long trip, but I'm not sure how good my odds are of setting up the system and downloading three games between the time I get home from work on launch day and when I have to leave Saturday afternoon.
Basically, I hope Live is more stable on Friday than PSN has been this weekend.

One step closer to flushing out ultratech!

It is ten feet or 3m in non gibberish.
Kinect v1 had a 9ft or 2,7m so it is only slightly longer.
Well you hit the nail on the head with the indoctrination comment. I said a few pages back, save for $100 the Xbox One goes toe to toe with PS4 in all regards and excels in some areas (like PS4 does in raw power) yet 'the net' seems to think people are totally bonkers for going with Xbox One over PS4.
It's all about the games, and Xbox One is doing very very well in that department right now.

Ha! Nice.
Can you do that?? Go from game to game and resume where you left off?
The matchmaking is supposed to be an extra "app" iirc - so it should work. Hopefully.
You can't multi-task games though, can you?
So like load up a BF4 match while playing KI? I don't think you can do that...

Killer Instinct, Crimson Dragon, Ryse
should be good options for myself at the moment

Okay so earlier I got two emails. One from MSFTStore and one from my Bank. There was an authorization problem because my bank needed me to confirm that it wasn't credit card fraud or something. I confirmed with my bank and then had to update my payment options at ms store from the link in the email.
Minutes later, I checked my bank account and saw that it was charged, which is good. I still haven't received a payment confirmation email or tracking number yet. Do I wait or what?

Albert said so on GAF back in August. I'll find it later. Cooking dinner for the family.

It's natural to be scared, but don't be...embrace it.
On a more serious note. We're connected, you and I. It is destined that we shall play DR3 in co-op until the end of time itself is upon us...
Just got destroyed by a Microsoft store employee at KI, apparently not having an update didn't allow me to see forza, and they aren't allowed to show the dashboard.
Controller feels nice, I don't get the complaints about the bumpers, they feel great to me.
KI looked super sharp and was very fast, would have been more fun if I knew wtf I was doing.

Great question, and that exact scenario was why I put in the CYA statement around "some details to be worked out"
I'm not sure the answer. I'll know more later.
Not sure if we got the clarification. But sounds possible.

You can use 360 sticks for KI?

I just had my carpet cleaned so I had to move all of the AV equipment out of the living room. There is an open spot and an open ethernet cable waiting for the Xbox One.
I'm going to play Ryse first and then Battlefield. Then purchase Crimson Dragon and KI if the reviews are high enough (definitely going to play it with Jago!
Love the avatar!
Live may run into a few hiccups... but it should be much more stable than PSN. It always has been.
In the demo trucks you could, but since those where dev units probably you can't in retail ones.

I wanted to show everyone how I mounted my kinect 1. I bought a mount kit and screwed it to my wire cover. That is the black thing in the middle of the pic. It turned out really clean looking. I also built a floating box and mounted the Xbox power supply underneath it. My tv is a bit high but the level I could mount the kinect was perfect. I just took all my Xbox stuff down today getting ready for next gen!
Lol that's a new one for me.

Anyone think there might be one or two announcements at the launch party?

It's funny, considering where we were after the reveals (PS4 - "For the gamers!" vs XB1 - "TV TV TV TV TV") that XB1 is actually looking in better shape games wise right now. It almost certainly has by far the stronger launch lineup, although Sony set that bar way low.

Well if it's anything like BF4 MP on PS4, it won't really be a tough choice. Shit is broken.
Ad we have not seen anything from the indy thing yet, hopefully soon.

You won't, XB1 is the only device that is not getting the Netflix redesign because it's not
compatible with XB1's overall design language.

I'm not expecting anything personally.
That said, we should get some goodies in the near future. Bet on that.

That's the new standard Netflix UI (across all platforms). There were reports that Xbox wasn't going to get this UI but last night I started Netflix and there's the new interface. I don't see why Xbox One would use anything difference unless the new App for One is not ready.
I know its a long shot, but does anyone know if you can use your old Kinect 1.0 wall mount with the new Kinect?
sold off the old Kinect a few days ago because I don't need the clutter, but left the wall mount up because I figured I couldn't get anything for it anyway
I don't have a super fancy set up (everyones got their budget) but itd be nice if I could use the wall mount for something other than having an awesome place to put Arnie from Predator.

VGA is more likely. MS haven't announced anything at a launch event in the past, doubt they'll start now.
Lets just hope it's a direction MS is going in and not just a cynical tactic to get gamers into the ecosystem, only to reduce the game focus dramatically.
Sony's got some nice stuff coming.
That's weird, aren't the 360 and One design languages essentially the same? It looks fine on my 360. Maybe they'll give us something even better for the One, then!
EDIT: Oh, and since I'm talking about Netflix, BBC needs to add the latest season of Doctor Who!

My aim is to buy powerstar golf first (if its good)download that and give that a whirl whilst waiting for Dead Rising 3 and BF4 to download.
Still not 100% on what my digital purchases will be but so far I'm thinking:
BF4
Dead Rising 3
Forza 5
Powerstar golf
I will also pick up KI as a freebie

Isn't Sony usually more prominent in terms of announcements at the VGA's ? They may hold off until TitanFall is out, going into E3
