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 :)

Still have to work :/
Have Monday and Tuesday off though, should have 1 1/2 days of quality time for the new console at least if it arrives on monday.

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

Patience is the key. It took me an hour until I was able to preorder one. Sometimes it also shows you the preorder button but nothing is in stock for 5 minutes or so. Just keep trying.

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.
Yeah people with multiple preorders can use amazon as a backup then cancel.

I'm canceling my backups tomorrow.

HA! Got one! I´m back in :)
Now: what games to get... and, does one need Fifa? I´m not into soccer...

If you have google chrome, or can install it then try Auto Refresh Plus
Set it to refresh the web page every second and stop when it finds 'add'

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.

I saw a couple DR3 ads as well, but I'm pretty sure it was during The Walking Dead, not the games.

As good a placement as any, I guess. :p

Edit: F*ckin' love that Terry Crews is the X1 mascot. Van Damme was lame :D

I wish there was some sites showing direct screens from retail/final builds of AC4, Ghosts and BF4.

I don't know what to do about them.

I wanted to dominate the living room. Then I took an ESRAM in the knee.
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?

Hope so, I am planing to set the system language to english as well. "Xbox, gehe nach Hause/Home" is just stupid. ;-P

By the way, I've only found this Kinect-mount from Hama on Amazon.de: http://www.amazon.de/dp/B00FJVO2EU/ Is there no "official" one?

No idea if I'm getting a day one version, and if so Forza or Fifa. But how much do you reckon I can get for it in the trade thread her in XBL points?

Wait wait wait wait a minute... I´m just reading, catching up on everything.

Did I read this right? If I set my console to locale en-US, I can have the full experience with all apps, games and fantasy football? Really?

[Quote for attention] Did you buy from MS Store DE? If so, what is your order status?

Amazon. Why?

I would guess so. Don't know if the sports stuff is only available for US based IPs but the US Marketplace would be available and you would be able to download Dead Rising 3. You only need a CC and an US based billing address.

I´ve got all this :D. I was just judging by the Cboat (yeah, I know) stuff linked earlier, that they don´t go by IP anymore, but only by the locale you set. That´d be AWESOME!
