Preparing for Shipment! (Amazon US; west coast)
Mine too! (Amazon, NYC, ordered this morning)
I have a feeling Amazon accidentally sold more than they had this morning. So those with the a 26th or greater shipping are in limbo. Amazon won't admit it, or tell us this mistake happened. So they are going to figure out what to do with our orders.
That's just my guess. But it's also why I'm going back and forth on it. I might just cancel now, and just try to get on in person on Friday. Fuck.

Seriously, don't bother. Like others have done (myself included), just ignore him. He has some serious "Fox News" style agenda going on and has to try to put it in your face. Can't do that if he's on ignore...
I think that if you like that style (God of War / Gladiator) then it's a good game for you. I saw it at the X1 event (didn't play it) and it looked great. However it would bore me. Just personal preference.

I've cancelled my pre-order. Thanks netBuff, I'm glad you popped in and set me straight.

I doubt you'll cross him online, this type prefers to dwell on forums instead of playing the games. Enjoy your ps4!

Btw the store recommends games for u based on your tastes. Doesn't make too much sense. It's recommending crimson dragon for me based on deus ex and mass effect 3 lol

So I ordered Day One editions of Ryse and Dead Rising 3.
I'm more hype about Friday than I was last Friday. Xbone really does have a better launch lineup, as far as exclusives are concerned.
I'm just hoping I end up getting the Day One edition Xbone. I'm picking mine up from a random little shop inside of a hospital, and it's all first come shit. Is there any possible way that they will be getting Day One consoles?

Nice!
Hey Phat how many apps did they end up getting ready compared to the list they put out? One of my friends was wondering what they will have day one and I haven't seen any outlet put a list up.

Michael, did you notice language settings in game for Ryse?

To be fair, Crimson Dragon is probably the most Deus Ex/Mass Effect 3 type game there is available currently on the Xbox One.
Shoot. You might be right. I talked the three reps and none were able to help. One bumped me from two day delivery (26th) to one day (25th) for free, but that doesn't really help as I'd love to get it Friday and I have Amazon Prime.
Oh well, worst case scenario is they bump this order, I go on chat, and I end up with some promotional credit to lower the price a bit.
If you can put it on a credit card, and it won't kill you to have that $500 charge on your account until this all gets sorted out, it might be worth holding on to your order in the event they do drop the ball and there is some free promotional credit in the wings.

They changed my delivery date too. I argued with them and they changed it to one day shipping and waived all shipping fees. They didn't say anything about it being standard though.
Edit: for clarification my delivery date is November 22 again. Now I'm worried

I don't think any. All the games are there but didn't really see any demo's? It's got prices. No demo's as yet.

I was hoping I would not have to but I guess I probably will, oh well.
the smaller one is probably a controller.
black is console, white is extra controller.

Dunno what Netflix is. Don't have it here I think. I have my cable box in hdmi but I haven't connected it to the xbox hdmi in. Will do that on the weekend.

Some of the news is really hitting me hard. First twitch streaming, then this odd storage management stuff, and now optical audio confusion (yes my receiver is old).

I'm glad the shop where I put my pre-order is next to my office, so I can leave for a few minutes to pick it up as soon as they open

Cant You make screenshots with Xbone OS? Is it blocked for now or what?
It would be nice to see what quality of screenshot they allow.
