Give them a call in the morning. Hopefully they can put your fears to rest.
There is a user here on GAF who did just that and got called out on it. I think their name got changed because of that too, but I'm not 100%.
Are only preorder units Day 1 editions?
A friend of mine is picking up a console for me at this little store in the hospital he works at, and I was wondering if all first shipment consoles were considered Day 1 editions.
I'm finding myself more hype about this launch than I was for the PS4 launch, and I was pretty anti-Xbone for a while. Sadly the launch lineup for PS4 didn't really have anything that I found entertaining.

Don't worry now, worry tomorrow.

Oh you tease.
Did you get the email from Microsoft last week asking you to make sure your shipping details were correct? If so, you should be fine.
Tried out the console at the Xbox One Tour in Manchester today. It was awesome! I love the controller, it fits so nicely into your hands, I didn't find it too small or anything. Rumble felt really odd at first but it was a nice addition which I hope more devs utilize. The triggers feel really nice, I was worried about the roundness of them but they are fine. And the analog sticks definitely have a smaller dead zone, they felt more accurate than the 360's.
Killer Instinct was the best game I played, and I played every launch title bar Fifa and AC4. It's so fun to play, even though me and my buddy suck at fighting games, we still had a tonne of fun just button mashing our way to beating each other up. I'm definitely gonna buy the character pack at launch. Ryse was ok, but I just couldn't get into the combat, it didn't feel fluid. The graphics are stunning, but I'm still not sold on gameplay. I did only get to play a short demo on the Colosseum mind you. Dead rising was good fun but I could imagine getting really bored of just mashing up zombies. The weird and wacky combinations of items are awesome though. CoD was how it's always been, Battlefield was great fun, even if draw distances are a bit weak, didn't really notice jaggies. Kinect Sports Rivals was actually pretty fun, I didn't really like using Kinect for it, but for a basic cartoony sports game, it looks soooooo good. Oh and Zoo Tycoon was on show as well, but I never bothered with it. The framerate looked really poor from what I saw, even with nothing going on. It wasn't horrendous, but it was really jarring even to watch.

this is much less impressive
Huffingtonpost.com has a story on their front page about Sony's launch problems. The bad PR is only just beginning.

That's taking console warriorism to the extreme.

I tell you what I am excited to see on Xbox One:

I was playing it last night and fall in love every time I do.

Hell extreme that's normal console warrior level right there.
I wish every site did it like Newegg where you can only leave reviews if you buy the product.
My GOTY 2012 - best racing game this gen for me. Love everything about it...

I love the colour palette of Horizon, the lighting is superb.
Oh my, yes. E3 2014 believe.

Well, at first I got one telling me that my card had expired; which turned out to be incorrect. There was another mail the next day saying this was a mistake and they meant to verify my billing and shipping address were correct.

I don't think creating 100 accounts to bash a console you don't have in order to make the other console look better by comparison is normal.
My bro got his UPS tracking # from MS Store but hasnt physically shipped yet. I ordered mine from Future Shop (preorder since June) and mine still says in progress(not billed yet) -- i bet i will be getting it Monday morning.
Things are sorta starting to move tho!
Today was definitely a long Monday! Lol

Wow, I always got the impression it was a bit of paper they stuck on. That sounds much more impressive
Dun dun dun
So jelly right now.

It sucks though that not a single third party headset can be used until Feb.
They can be used just not the mic part.
I plan on using the Kinect for a mic, but using the Turtle Beach XP510's for sound
Dun dun dun
That black packaging is straight up slick. Everything just looks like such high quality. Which is what I expect when buying a new console.

It will look good at the very least
I fucking love this game and the soundtrack. Forza Horizon 2 in 2014. Please MS, make it happen.
Okay, you're in the clear. They aren't actually shipping yet.

I wish there was Forza Horizon game at launch
It better be.
Horizon is probably one of my favourite games. I love playing it just to relax.

wtf who has time to make that many accounts to bash a machine lol. so weird.
Yep, it is my 'feel good' game. Not to mention that the gameplay is about as perfect as it gets, even at 30fps.
Hellyah.. id be all over that!
What do you need them for? Proper headphone (not that garbage they advertise as gaming headsets) + Kinect is already the way to go on the 360.
There are no loud sounds in the room when playing with headphones so Kinect is more than fine for voice chat. Coupled with the better filtering and higher quality of Kinect 2 it is the best option out there.
Get an astro mixamp or use your receiver and you will hear both game audio and chat sound over your headphones and use Kinect for chat.
Forza Horizon was amazing fun and the soundtrack was great.

It's the shame I'm not able to afford an Xbox One right now. Hopefully Next year will be different.
It should as long as it is the same account.
Yes it will.

Not planning on getting one myself, but I wish you all a smooth launch. Quick tip for those in the US and are ordering it online. If you don't want to wait for the UPS guy to deliver your console. You can always call them or sign up online and put a Hold for Pickup/Will Call on your package and they'll hold it for you to pick up at your own leisure at the nearest UPS Customer center (mine opens at 7:30am lol). If you do this, be sure to get this hold in as soon as you get a tracking # and make sure its going to a Customer Center and not a UPS store, it would add 1 business day to your delivery if you choose UPS store (which would mean Monday)
