After 4 PM today I'll be off work all the way till Saturday and I might not have to work then either.

Hype train starting again tonight, I'll go back and get all the requests on it.

I'm ready for Ryse.
Me too. I hope Crytek doesn't fall into the same category as Guerilla games. I'm enjoying my PS4 alot but once again Killzone is a great looking piece of tech but not a very good videogame. Crytek has that stigma about them too although I will say i've enjoyed the Crysis games better than the Killzone games. Both studios are amazing when it comes to graphical tech but have yet to prove they actually know how to make a great videogame with a good story. I hope Ryse can do that and am looking forward to Friday to find out. :)

LOL, I'm just glad Crytek didn't make another FPS.

Can someone recommend me an Eneloop charger and pack from UK seller?

lol

Every time I seen someone make fun of the XOne controller using AAs I just think about how great Eneloops are, after hearing how long DS4s are lasting I bet they would like some Eneloops too.

When did you order this? My pre order dated May 21st has no movement on it yet. Hoping and praying it arrives early
I don't think anyone has got a dispatch confirmation, I did get a tracking number email and they said they were giving it to DPD on Thursday. I ordered on June 11th.

I hope mine will be shipped soon... I also ordered on the MS store, but later (around mid-august, just before Gamescom IIRC). Even if it only arrives on the 22nd, it would make me happy to know that things are on their way. :)

11th June. It might depend on what your launch selection is, since they said that any Xbox One stuff in your basket will all be dispatched in the same box. I ordered the Day One edition console (Fifa 14 version), controller plus play & charge kit and Zoo Tycoon. If you ordered something different it might be that it hasn't arrived at the warehouse yet maybe?

Won't arrive early though since it's courier and whatnot. They'll be told not to deliver them til Friday. Just happy i'm definitely getting it on release day.

Can't believe they're still going with the "if it were more real..." line. At least I hope "beta tested in the future" is dead and buried.

This is what I meant with my post too - it's packed and ready and will arrive Friday.

I'll give them a pass. :D

"Jump ahead" is simply all they needed, it's perfect.

Believe it or not some people have a hard time understand what "jump ahead" means too.

I have to go work now so I'll see you guys later.

I was getting off work in the afternoon but now I'm off all day Friday! UPS doesn't come to my house until 4 or 5 PM and before it wasn't a big deal because I was working but theres no way I can wait that long if I'm off work!

Can I call UPS and have them hold it so I can go pick it up myself early morning on Friday. Anyone ever done this?

It's a play off the title: "Jump in, the resolution is fine." The way most people use the phrase in the real world is "Jump in, the water is fine!"

That's Windows 8 even ;)



That is too clever for us.


lol, damn I post two dumb things in one post, going back to sleep guys. That's twice as bad as my usual ratio.

You can try MyChoice and see if they let you make the change, but I don't think they let you do it on the same day as the delivery date, I tried it once.

So I had to cancel my Pre-Order today because of financial issues with the family. Sigh. It's a struggle, but I think I should be Xbone ready by xmas time. :s

Damn! If anyone else is cancelling please give me a shout as I cancelled mine last week and regretted it and I'm desperately in need of a day one console (w/ either fifa or forza) now! So so annoyed at myself.

Excited about the games, but just as excited about the UI/entertainment functionality.

Maybe the marketing is working on my weak mind, but the "all-in-one" stuff appeals to me in a big way.
