DR3 went gold two weeks ago no? Brad said so on the GB video.

Well shit, somebody earlier in the thread said it wasn't gold yet and I was just echoing that. You're right, though, that doesn't make sense unless DF waited a week or two to post that article.

All the launch games have gone gold (a while ago) to produce the physical Blu-Ray discs. They're still working on Xbox Live pushed patches for some games, though.

I got one free through my work and I am in a similar boat, I have no idea when I am getting it basically. No chance at launch for me though.

I'm so excited for Dead Rising 3. The second I saw that and the TV functionality, I was sold on Xbox One. Titanfall was just icing on the cake.

Oddly enough, I'm also really excited for Powerstar Golf. I really loved GTAV's golf, but wished there were more options for it. It reminded me how much fun a simple golf game can be.

I have never really cared much for golf games. I played some free Christmas version of Outlaws Golf on the original Xbox and it was ok, and don't mind the golf in GTA V. I've got a friend who's seriously into golf games though, and if he gets into Powerstar Golf, the social stuff may get me to buy it.

I am? Then surely the moderators/admin would of known about it? I thought blatant fanboysim wasn't allowed here?

Talking about CBOAT :S

And really, go back to Xbox One reveal and E3 to get your answer to your question. (Not that I think you're a fanboy, no idea who you are).

Swiftly moving on!

Look I'm just asking you simple questions. That's it. The fuck is your problem

Fuck sake, no I'm not a fanboy. I have a preference, the Xbox, always made that clear here and I enjoy the others too (Nintendo very hit and miss at the moment for me). Simple as that.

And I've answered them, without ever insulting you, so chill out. I never called you a fanboy at any point and I said that in my last point I was talking about CBOAT.

This isn't going anywhere so just drop it.

Sorry if this has been asked numerous times before, but did they discuss how the TV functionality will work in Canada? I know it's just an HDMI passthrough, but how will the Guide work?

I so hope KI gets a decent reception. The amount of abuse thrown Double Helix way since the reveal was embarrassing.

Honestly, I couldn't care less what the reviews say; the way they've handled KI has been amazing. The exposure and open development process, alone; KI has been polished and playable for, what, 5 months now? No other next-gen game -- on either console -- comes close to that. We know exactly what we're getting at launch because we've been watching real, live people playing KI for ages now.

Double Helix have already redeemed themselves.

The fact that KI threads on GAF get huge traffic and still remain virtually unmolested by trolls, should stand as a testament to this. Almost every other X1 thread is instantly shat upon, derailed, and locked tight...KI remains unscathed.

The way the game has been handled is impressive really. MS knew the main aim had to be getting the original fanbase on board and they've done that.

Do we know which languages are supported for Kinect Voice commands at launch? If I have set the console to German, can I speak with Kinect in english?

That's the problem, that option is not available. Amazon Austria is baaaad.
haha, its better than amazon greece (which doesnt even exist lol)
so, if you are in austria, and amazon warehouse is somewhere in austria,
maybe if its within driving distance you will prefer to take a trip come friday, istead of waiting your ass out until ..tuesday? :)

back on original xbox launch day, I left from a ski resort in the dawn, drove like 5 hours to go pick up the fat xbox and return, then joined my company up the mountains... good times back then :)

Canceled my preorder some time ago, regretting this now.
How´d you judge the chances of getting back in on a Day One Ed? Would I be able to just walk in a store? (Germany, btw.)

Now, if only they'd get around to running a KI TV-spot some time...

I watched two football games and a hockey game on Sunday and saw the Ryse promo about 64 times during this span.

Show me KI, damnit! I need casuals to beat up on... :/

It won't work at launch, like in England. It will be supported, but MS Canada hasn't said when. I hope it's soon!

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.

Will there be a launch event in Seattle? I went to the launch of Halo 4 at the U Village Microsoft Store, but I can't find any information about the xbone.

I saw DR3 constantly during the NFL in the UK last night. Every single ad break. I also thought it would better to mix them up a bit rather than blanket one game. What do I know though, I don't work in marketing.

F5ing Amazon right now. Some odd behavior on the website, but no order yet. Lets see...

So I placed a preorder for BF4 back in August for Xbox One and just got an email from Amazon saying my payment has been declined, which is my Amazon.com Visa. At first I had no idea why it would be declined as I just bought a PS4 on that card and it has no other charges on there, but I just realized that maybe it was the $3 in Amazon rewards sitting on that order and I only have about $1 in Amazon rewards on my account. Could this be why it was declined? I know it could be various reasons, but this is the only logical explanation I can think of.

Gets me a little worried about my Day One that is supposed to arrive on Friday! Should I pay that off with gift cards, I have about a balance of $250 left on that order.
