Thursday at the Spike show silly. Also Frank, Andy told me he was getting a white XB1 and I thought he was fucking with me. Didn't know one existed.....Now I'm all jealous.

Yep they should totally release that white controller. Love the contrast between black and white.
It's like R2D2 and Darth Vader had a baby.

Congrats on getting to this point. Can't wait to get my system and I'm excited for what you guys have planned over the next year.

Yep, after watching the first few minutes of that stream I decided this is a day One purchase and didn't want to see more to avoid spoilers. Fucking amazing.
Thank you, it will be my gamerpic as well (if that wasn't obvious already). My former one was a screenshot of the Sonic and Knuckles titlescreen so blue background + hedgehog seemed like a natural progression (unless that's a porcupine?).

Albert, tell Amazon to ship the console early!!! I don't think we could take it much longer. Congrats.
Yo Albert!!
how about whistling the word to the proper ears here?
WE WANT THIS TO HAPPEN!!
spread the word to the marketing guys. terry is such a nice guy, there is no way you cant sort this out.
bottom line, we will be happy, and you will be even happier you did this
New Ryse impressions:
"One of the glaring issues with the early demos of the game was the scripted combat, which has been addressed with the removal of the QTE floating button and replaced with a small skull to indicate that you can trigger an execution. The executions are quite striking, with detail down to the expression on the poor souls face, after you have just plunged your sword into his neck. It is worth bearing in mind that these execution sequences are optional; the player is more than welcome to not press the dedicated execution button (RT) following the prompt, but I found myself wanting to do this to most of the enemies as it was so satisfying. There is nothing better than queuing up more than one enemy for a double execution, it’s the goriest kill you will see on Xbox launch day."
"The lack of depth in combat has also been replaced with a challenging but rewarding system, not dissimilar to those featured in the God of War series or the Batman Arkham trilogy. The familiar press ‘X to swing sword’ was present along with ‘Y for a secondary attack’; in this case a bash with the shield. However, it was the fluidity of the defense system that really won me over. Pressing ‘A’ in the direction of an incoming attack would block that combatant and if timed correctly, leave the enemy open for a counter. The ability to chain together sword and shield attacks whilst blocking blows from a group of enemies really helped me feel like a skilled gladiator. Other noteworthy additions to the combat system include, the ability to slow down play for a short period of time, allowing you to escape some tricky situations. As well as select certain attributes, such as gaining a small amount of health after each execution."

Hmmm. Maybe I should go, might be fun.
I believe that is only for the Day One packaging...
ah, ok that makes sense.
May have been discussed before but spend $10 or more on zerofriends.com and get this print.
this is awesome

The white controller looks like a Portal turret. SO HOT RIGHT NOW.
I think I'm gonna get Ryse (don't care if it's short, mediocre, HULK WANT EYE CANDY), Forza, NFS Rivals, FIFA 14, Dead Rising 3, and Killer Instinct. Fucking expensive month.
Looking at it now, the Xbox One launch line-up wipes the floor with PS4's. Well played MS.

Those are the Day One Editions. Alone with the Day One Xbox, they offer some extra goodies and all have a Sleek Black theme.

"Extra goodies" is really pushing it.

Pushing what? Day One editions come with some downloadable stuff, kind of like Pre-orders.
lolol I really like reading your opinions, and usually you are spot on with my thoughts too.
I really laughed at HULK WANT EYE CANDY, it kind of accurately represents the cro-magnion old gamer in me

My Day One edition order has just fell through. I don;'t know where else to order from for Friday.
Gamestop site says I can reserve but I don't know if that's for Friday or when more stock arrive. It says FIFA 14 edition I can reserve but the Forza is out of stock.
