Xbox One Launch Thread [Thread being archived 1/1/14]

I have $70 to spend at gamestop on another launch game. What do you guys think i should pick up

Right now i have Forza,Dead Rising,Ryse, Battlefield 4
 
Anyone getting shipping notices? My FS order is no longer cancel able which is great. Maybe it'll arrive launch day!

Yes I just got my shipping update, goods leave tomorrow (WED my time) and should arrive to me on Thursday I believe. Looks like 1 day early in Australia for me, so like 2 days early :)

My misses pre-ordered it for me and now she won't stop saying she's keeping it under lock and key until XMAS. GAF I need a female counter equivalent leverage XMAS present to really get her going...

anyone know when Amazon US will ship out the Ones?

They shipped a lot of PS4's on Thursday last week so I'd imagine sometime around then.

So Thursday night or Friday night? Stupid question. It's been a long day.

Haha no worries, I thought that would be an issue when writing that post. Thursday night/midnight/Friday morning. And they restocked right around midnight EST for the PS4 so that's when I'd keep an eye on Amazon.

Again I'm not sure that they will, but it's certainly a possibility.

What are the dimensions on the retail box? It looked huge in the Amazon warehouse picture.

Gamestop called me Saturday to tell my xbox one will be ready for pickup next Thursday night. And that I had 48 hours afterwards to pick up or they would sell it to someone else. My extra controller was ready for pickup last Tuesday but I've been lazy

Awesome. Thank you!

Best Buy is guaranteeing 20 "pre-orderless" Consoles at midnight and fifteen at 8am.
Is this at all stores?
 
Is there somewhere to look for hard facts, like will the X1 play 3D BR, and will the browser support flash?

No 3d at launch, as for the browser, someone posted earlier in this thread a confirmation that the xbone browser will have the same built in flash engine of IE metro.

According to a buddy of mine they started sunday (New Brunswick). Can't verify this, as it is his word only, but that is all I have heard from them thus far. I'm waiting on Best Buy.

Hope the lines go smooth. Wonder how fast EB and Best Buy were at the PS4 launch.

Luuuuucky... I'd be satisfied with just launch day but in small town ontario it's not looking likely.

I would advise ekim's method.
I did the same and was able to order a Day One edition at Amazon.
Just activate One-Click buy and F5 the the product page until it gives you option to order one. Every time someone cancels their preorder you will have a few seconds to order it. :p

Just walking in a store depends on the city you're living in. But I chances are high, you're only getting a standard SKU.
 
Haven't seen any movement on my UPS order number. Probably just means that they're planning to ship it 1 day before launch, and they're just staging all of the details early this week.

Killer instinct would be my choice if I had money left over, but maybe NBA 2k14, COD Ghosts if your into the really fast paced multiplayer, or NFS Rivals if your into arcade racers.It got good reviews, but honestly I don't know your preferences.

Personally, I am getting Forza and DR3, and Killer Instinct $40 version. Really need to learn to play fighters so I can kick my friend's ass for once.
 
I did this today and honestly didn't think I would get one but I spent 10 minutes or so and one was available. Got the email confirmation and its on BB website.

Now I need to decide which console I am keeping as I cant afford both.

There you have it people, IT WORKS!
 
Amazon UK best get this thing out me on Friday otherwise I might swing the rope. I have a relational algebra test on Friday and if I come home and there's not a shiny Xbox One in the house I'll go mad. Nobody being in to accept the package would murder me :lol
 
This last week and this week will be a time I will tell my grandchildren about. Honestly this is the best time of my life.


This only happens once a decade. I am so happy to be alive right here right now. There is no other place that I'd rather be. Watching the world wake up from history!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Is that really how it works on Amazon. If they get a canceled order that you have a chance of grabbing it? F5 and all?

Yes, but I don't believe they put the order up immediately after it's cancelled. They wait and do a batch of them at a time.

For example, the PS4 had a bunch of extra units go up for sale Friday night which were most likely units cancelled at the last minute, or extra stock. I'd assume the same will happen with the Xbox. Make sure to sign up for alerts on NowInStock, and I would assume they will put some extra's up Friday or Saturday.
