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

Ugh, cancelled my Amazon Day One Preorder a few months ago due to work/financial limitations. Now I'm feeling like an idiot- so many good launch games coming out and I hate to be on the sidelines. What's the best strategy in picking one up on launch night? I'm totally down with waiting outside for a midnight launch.

Just pay attention to Amazon. People like me that canceled our pre-orders will account for a pretty sizable restock, I'm sure. PS4 has come back in stock at Amazon at least 3 times since launch. I doubt Xbox One will be any different.

We'll probably see console streams as early as Wednesday or Thursday, same as with the PS4. Gamespot and Polygon did, IIRC.

Microsoft store sent me an email early this morning saying they'd shipped my Xbox One Day One Edition. At the time the tracking number didn't have any information, but I just checked it and noticed the weight:

UPS Tracking information
Shipped/Billed On: 11/17/2013
Type: Package
Weight: 17.30 lbs

Significantly heavier than my PS4 (Dualshock 4 bundle) shipped from Amazon:
Shipped/Billed On: 11/14/2013
Type: Package
Weight: 11.20 lbs


Anyways, excited it's on it's way!!

Well I've been off live for quite a while now, like two or so years. I've had my Xbox since like 2006-2007, I'm more of a ps3 person but I got a 360 for LO and Tales so I casually play my 360 currently so I was surprised. Even my current tenure says 0 years because I haven't had live in so long.

I'm not sure about games to get O.O... I wasn't planning on getting a One yet.


So you just signed on.. did you have xbox live gold or were u silver? ..

Less than 100 hours in the UK!!
Yes I'm that hyped I'm counting hours.

To be honest I was not as excited as I thought I would be coming up to this point. But I ain't going to lie, as the launch date nears, I am getting pretty excited.

Very excited that my local Walmart decided to break street date on controllers.

Very much loving the new controller...don't think they changed the tension on the joysticks; it just feels different because they are taller. Better build quality and an improvement on what was already the best controller.

The controllers were put on sale last week so they're not breaking street date.

I'm picking up my new controller, Madden 25, Battlefield 4, and CoD Ghosts this Tuesday! So excited.

Ah I just assumed because amazon has them for the 22nd and they were selling ds4 weeks before launch
 
I played Forza today, I entered a contest also. You needed to play the game to participate, the prize is an Xbox One, Forza, A seat and a Wheel. I wish I could win.

The game looks disgustinly good, I can't tell about the Gameplay since I suck ass at racing games. The control feels pretty good if a bit foreign because of how I'm so used to my 360, feels a lot lighter also and the weight is distributed in a way that you feels like your arm is being lifted. I can't say I felt the rumble controllers.

Also both Gamestop and Microsoft invited me to their launch events, but both of them are sold out LOL.

Man, Xbox nostalgia. Once I got the Xbox in 2003, that was my primary game console. I loved that damn thing.
