Some of the best games ever, in particular the first Rainbow Six 3!
I also really liked Conker. I hope Rare will revisit the franchise on Xbox One.
I want this so bad as well that I think I'll literally cry if they ever announce this. lol

MS has a lot of events. I will be in the Times Square event. Spike has something as well.
There's a show on Spike but I don't think it's meant to be like Sony's where they announced a few new games and announcements for upcoming games. This one seems more like an actual launch party.
Yea. They're taking over Times Square again. Mackelmore is performing and it's being covered by GTTV on Spike.

hahah The fact that Microsoft isn't tapping into this kind of nostalgia is killingggg meeeee....
I imagine the launch event will focus on launch games and the next few months rather than anything new, along with a Macklemore and Deadmau5 performance inserted somewhere.
Weird, but I shouldn't be surprised I suppose. A lot of effort gets placed into boxing these things.

True, I'm really excited about Titanfall. But Gears was like, if I were to make a game, my mental checklist of things to include are all in Gears: guns, gore, monsters, violence, a beastly shotgun, and coop play.

Looks like you're getting much better value, two batteries for $30, as opposed to the play and charge bundle I got, was $25. So expensive.

Please Microsoft, let Rare make a Conker and Perfect Dark game!

I don't remember Vice City being only on Xbox, could have sworn I played that on PS2.

After seeing the tender, love and care Double Helix put into Killer Instinct, I'd be fine with other studios working on these IP's as long as they respect what we cherish so dearly about them.

Perfect Dark will no doubt come back. Bet.
Charge and play is $20 if you get it price matched from Walmart's ad this week.

so much good original xbox titles if even half of them make a return I bet people would go nuts and buy the system on spot, their original OG titles are really amazing - my personal fav which is obvious phantom dust, lol.

Fixed. Leave Rare with the Kinect stuff, they are they only ones that can make a good Kinect game.
Wow, I totally forgot about this game. It was a ton of fun.One of the best Xbox games. That no one bought
I would stab someone in the eye for a HD online enabled remake
Man, if it wasn't for Forza 5 I'd be all over this game at launch.
It'll be a nice January pickup while we wait for Titanfall.

So, since we're really close to launch, I assume all of us finally have our Launch Purchases finalized, what are you guys buying on November 22?
For me it's:
Xbox One Console
Forza Motorsport 5
Battlefield 4
Call of Duty: Ghost
Dead Rising 3
$50 Xbox Live card (that'll bring me up to $90 in my Microsoft account, not sure if I want to buy Ryse with this... Ryse is looking like a rental now)
Extra Controller (bought today!)
and then I'll buy a Day One 12 Month Xbox Live Gold card next week after November 22. Gonna be so good.

Was watching on the big screen earlier. Definitely getting that next-gen feel.
Hoping the ESPN app is as solid on the X1 as it is on the 360.

I'm not even close to finalized. So far I'm getting console, extra controller, FIFA (free), Forza and then its up in the air. Either DR3 or Ryse depending on reviews and probably KI and Crimson Dragon.
That's actually not as up in the air as I expected.

Ive noticed I haven't purchased any third party games for these systems i just buy the exclusives lol
Console
NBA2k14
Battlefield 4
Whatever 2 games Gamefly sends me. Still trying to decide if I should get another controller and that play n charge kit.

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiet. And I already opened it! Well, no sense crying over $5.
OXM is spot on about the game, lol.

What's he reviewing?
Not finalized at all.
I'm getting my Xbox One in December as I'm importing and that's it.
I have put an extra controller, play and charge kit, 3-month XBL Gold and NBA 2K14 on the wish list though.
If I have spare money I'll get an exclusive but I already have to pay off the PS4 as well.
I just made a few smaller purchases getting myself some stuff for launch. An extra HDMI cable (for cable box to X1), an HDMI switcher (out of ports, still want to use my 360 and PS3), and some Eneloops. Gonna wait for reviews, but on Friday coming back from work I'll stop off at the Microsoft Store and get my extra controller and (if Xbox Live is really slow that day) Dead Rising 3 if reviews hold up. So, for me:
Console
Forza Motorsport 5 Limited Edition
Crimson Dragon
Killer Instinct
Dead Rising 3 (not sure if physical or digital, maybe not at all if reviews suck)
Extra controller
Console
Forza Motorsport 5 Limited Edition
Crimson Dragon
Killer Instinct
Dead Rising 3 (not sure if physical or digital, maybe not at all if reviews suck)

He was tweeting that he has been working on the system review today. I assume that tweet is about Kinect. I think he said he will also be reviewing Forza.

Just the console for me. It'll just be Killer Instinct and Kinect Sports Rivals Preseason for like a week, and I'll pick up Dead Rising 3 and Battlefield 4 ASAP.
Rechargeable batteries. Cheaper than a play and charge kit even if you can't charge them via the console.

Beat that on PS2. Holy shit @ the recoil in that game.
Not sure why they bothered with multiplayer though. It was kind of bad imo.

Can't forget about Gears
Next-gen didn't start until Gears came out. Fucking blew my mind at the time, it was one of those rare games were you really feel like it was from the future and somehow got sent back through time.
Yea its pretty insignificant but a nice little saving if you want it
