I used the normal replacement method with the ten dollar extra expedited shipping, and had a new console nine days after the day I took it to FedEx. It was pretty smooth.

Wow, looks like a mix of Battlefield and Team Fortress.
Did not expect this game to look this interesting
Hmm, shame it is 40$ on Xbone and 30$ on 360/PC =\
Might be able to convince my friends to buy it when the price drops a bit.

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
The graphics are really nice. Love the lighting.
hmm, mine got "stuck" but eventually I realized it was just a un-thought out loading screen.
The start reminded me of Conker's Bad Fur Day more than anything else. The zombie in the military gear looked just like him from behind lol

I was very interested in this, but hearing it's online only put me off a bit. It's a little scary to think the game becomes worthless if the online community dies off.
For a game like Titanfall online only doesn't really bother me, because I expect that game to have a very large player base for a long time. PvZ though, that's a big unknown.

Good point. Is this game using EA's servers or MS? If it's MS, then the servers will more than likely stay up for a long time.
After finally finding an xbox one near me , I've played it for two weeks extensively. All I can say is I really wish I waited on my ps4 purchase. I feel like I could have waited another year on it and still came away happy. I guess it's good that I have both now but It's really going to suck on choosing where to get the multi plats

Hopefully there will be a demo for Garden Warfare, looks alright to me but want to try it first
Wow, that's faster than I thought. Unfortunately they didn't offer me the expedited method, but hopefully my turnaround won't be much longer than that.

Pretty big news for me. I have FIOS but I don't have a cable box in my room where I keep the X1. Now I can finally watch TV and game at the same time

It's online only? Why EA, WHY! Welp there's goes my interest in this game.

I don't think it'll make too much of a difference without the expedited shipping. It took two days for Microsoft to get my console. Then they spent a few days evaluating it since they have the option to repair your system with the normal replacement. Then, I was overnighted a new system from a distribution center in Tennessee.
Pretty cool. You are limited to 74 channels of live TV though but I am sure they will add more as time goes along. I wish they would release an app like this for UVerse. They had a UVerse app for the XBox 360 that was literally a complete substitute for a cable STB. But, Microsoft sold the Mediaroom software to Ericsson recently and AT&T is not allowing that app to work anymore after December 31st so that is dumb. Hopefully they are developing something for the XBox One.http://news.xbox.com/2013/12/ent-verizon-fios-xbox-one

So jealous. I wish I had verizon in my area. Waiting on the Xfinity app now.

Is there any way to see patch notes?
Not that I noticed, but to be honest I didn't really look.
Yeah it does that after the first update...Takes forever to fire up again. They should put some kind of progress bar. Winder how many people returned their system because of this.
I'm thinking the game will actually go the route of Team Fortress 2. It'll come out for each system eventually at the $30/40 price then once sales slow or halt, go F2P with something similar to hats. Being online only isn't that bad as long as a) you have constant updates to content and b) the game is fun to play.

I keep waiting for Google fiber to get to my neighborhood, its right down the street. Sadily I doubt an app would be made for X1

This is awesome news. Cant wait to try it out.
This happened to me this morning as well. The version was still the same, though, so not an update. I couldn't power it on with the controller and had to go push the button on the front of the unit to get it to turn on.

Are you talking about just in this instance? Because I turn mine on with the controller all the time.

Works the same as 360.
Why were people in here recommending going through Microsoft over Amazon for replacement when I asked last month? Amazon overnighted my replacement the day after I called without waiting to receive the original.

Microsoft has an option to do that too, to be fair, but they put an authorization on a credit card and if you don't return the old system they will charge you 500 bucks.

ok so im going to the MS store tomorrow to hopefully get a new powerbrick, and if need be a console.
Do I need the original box? I have it but I don't want to give them my day one box

Where from? Blockbuster?
It should work, I bet it would even add on top of the Skype Premium you get with the console.

Any word on Spinal? I hope he gets here this month
He's the main reason I forked out 40 bucks on the game

Arent we, that forked out 40 bucks, supposed to get it earlier?
Have you gone old school and completely unplugged the console? As in, even pull the brick out of it and leave it to sit for a minute?
I know it sounds dumb, but sometimes the old school stuff works.

yup. tried:
- Unplugging, plugging back in
- Unplugging, waiting 30 minutes, plugging back in
- Trying this with 3 different outlets
Light will be bright orange, then go dim orange less than a second later. Can't turn on the system, and my DR3 disc is stuck in there...tried the manual way of taking it out but it didn't work.
:/
