No one has answered yet and since it's 20 pages after now, how do we get those slipcases that form the X? Is it a pre-order thing or can I just buy in store?

I think Pre-Order to guarantee. There will be Day One editions left after I am sure. Think of them as first prints that have come out recently.
Not sure if they actually exist, since we have seen other covers with a banner like my current avatar. And when Major showed the pallet they didn't have slips.

Don't think they actually exist. You could ask this thread to make them for you though!

Get the Day One editions of all 3 games. (physical versions) They said on one of the Twitch streams "if you buy all 3 Day One editions for Dead rising, forza, and Ryse, you get collectible art that combined to make something cool."

Does anyone know if the install footprint of a game is the same whether it's a digital purchase or bought on disc?

 

[Winterfang]

Mmm embargo this morning. I expect some mixed reviews, hopefully GAF won't explode.

 

[BTM]

Absolute perfection

What are those other Day One box arts I'm seeing then? With the character/car on a grey background?

Sure it was recently confirmed if you install a game, play from disc but later decided to buy digitally, it's the same file.
So would imagine they are the same size files.

just a pc

So your very first ever console?!

I heard somewhere that the cards inside with the DLC codes have some artwork that fits together. So maybe that's where we'll see this instead of slip covers?

 

[Defect]

That is the front cover. The ones that form an X are the back covers.

 

[Timu]

Who made this?=O

 

[Gary Whitta]

Given the install sizes of some of these games I wish 1tb could have been a reality. You're looking at, what, 7 or 8 full-price titles before you're maxed out? And that's before any other media. And no expansion option on the immediate horizon either.

 

[FrankT]

I've been wondering this because from what I've seen of those download pics posted from the Target guy some of those are different than what is reported on the back of the boxes.

IRRC back of the box of COD states 49GB yet the DD is 39GB. Same with Dead Rising 35Gb back of the box yet I believe the DD was different. In the 20s maybe.

 

[Fleshfeast]

You mean these?

These are the Day One Edition box arts



These, I believe, come inside the packaging, probably where the manual goes:

That is the front cover. The ones that form an X are the back covers.

Or that. I don't honestly know, myself.

 

[Black Republican]

Got some xbox codes that need scanning via kinect

 

[malfcn]

Confirmed?
That would explain why they weren't shown here.

Oh, anything good?

Ah ok thanks. I don't like either so I'll stick with bog standard thank you

I averaged the launch line up, it's around 17GB a game, which is 25 games on 450gb.

Hmm maybe you're right that it averages out as less. I just saw a few of those 40gb-ish installs and went yikes. Considering going all-digital so I never have to screw around with discs again.

 

[gogojira]

My hype is pretty much through the roof here. Seriously, I hope Amazon comes through and gets my system on Friday like it's set to. I've never ordered a system online before.

 

[Miles X]

I mean you're right that you could use all your space on 9 games, you'd have to be really unlucky that all the games you chose are 40gb~ though! It seemed to me that most were under 25gb and only a few around 40gb (ones that didn't even make sense).

 

[Nastrodamous]

no, i had the first xbox.

 

[Fleshfeast]

I'm seeing the 500GB drive as just what I'm going to use while waiting for the USB external drive support. At that point I can add as much as I want, as long as it can play games from that drive.

 

[Miles X]

no, i had the first xbox.

You're in for a culture shock then going from the black beast to the one. Shame there is no BC, would have been great for guys that missed out on 360.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

?

I just realised those Day One editions are silver rather than grey. Looks better.

 

[Sushigod7]

This is freaking amazing hahaha I hope I can grab a non pre-order Thur night or Friday morning I'm on the rain check list for the MS store. Should have ordered sooner but changed my mind last minute. I'm boarding the hype train!

 

[Fleshfeast]

My hype is pretty much through the roof here. Seriously, I hope Amazon comes through and gets my system on Friday like it's set to. I've never ordered a system online before.

I'm hyped so much I'm having dreams about it lol. I dreamed I got the system and held the controller, and the front of it was concave, with the sticks almost recessed into it, and the stick heads were tiny. I thought "ugh, it feels weird, maybe I'll get used to it."

I finally paid mine off with gift cards on Amazon a couple days ago. For a while I thought I wouldn't make it, but I barely did. No money for games though, haha. So it'll be Killer Instinct and Kinect Sports Wave Race until the 5th, then I can pick up Dead Rising and Battlefield.




BTW, can I get added to the train?

 

[Miles X]

I asked Penello about this on twitter but no reply. If you can't then it's kinda useless having external support surely?

i played most of the 360 games i wanted too, but some of the XBLA games i had to miss =(

 

[Gary Whitta]

Well I fully expect external drive support to mean an official Microsoft Xbox product only so I wouldn't expect the same freedom of choice Sony gives you. Would be nice though, you never know.

 

[Fleshfeast]

I asked Penello about this on twitter but no reply. If you can't then it's kinda useless having external support surely?

Yea, if you can't install games to it and play them from it, it's sort of useless. I had been assuming you could though, since (I think) you can with USB drives on the 360. Sony's resolution for HDD space was allowing users to change out the drive, I assumed this was MS's solution.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Wish Xbox Music was cheaper, could see myself using that while playing multiplayer games and racers

I believe they said external hard drives could be used for the exact same stuff as internal.

At launch external support for pics and files and such. Game installation functionality is coming early 2014.

Okay that's less scary than I thought! Digital here I come! Unless Amazon has a launch BOGO!

 

[canadian crowe]

Lego Marvel is 6.1 gb on the PS4. I assume they are the same.

This is, er, interesting.

 

[StudioTan]

This is, er, interesting.

It honestly doesn't mean much, most PC games are usually much smaller than 43GB installed and look great. It all depends on how much the developers want to worry about compression/decompression of assets.

Not to say 2K14 doesn't look a lot better than Live 14.

 

[Ambient80]

So I just got my email coupon from GameStop for my 10$ Next-Gen Upgrade for CoD: Ghosts. Might wanna check emails and see if you got your all's too.

 

[JHall]

After seeing all these problems with BF4, I might just skip on on it for the time being.

Haha, nice. I have mine paid with $112 left but I've got KI and BF4 paid for. Now I'm deciding if I want to try and get one more or not but I'll probably wait for reviews.

Actually, if it's anything like the 360 you should be able to use anything. So yeah, it should be nice

 

[Ecto311]

Found on IGN this info but just wanted to check; I have ghosts on the 360 and my wife gets it on the one - we cant play together online right?
