The best rechargeable batteries.
Why are they the best? Because they don't self-discharge (or very little) compared to other Ni-Mh batteries, which can lose their charge even when not being used. They'll have a charge straight out of the packet.

Here's a question: what are you going to plug your into the HDMI in port? I don't have cable in the room I'm going to put the X1. Thinking of just piping in my 360 Slim...
Comcast box. It's the only thing that makes sense to me, really. I have an HDMI switch, so no shortage of HDMI ports.
My Mac Mini for my HD channels.
But guys, do I just say "Xbox, watch TV" and then it switches to my Mac mini? Or do I have to say something else?

My 360. I hope there's no noticeable delay when doing this. My TV (monitor actually) only has one HDMI port, so if this isn't an option I've got to go back to the VGA cable for the 360. I really wish all the stuff still coming out for 360 was coming out on Xbox One instead, but that just isn't the case. I can't put the system away yet.
No doubt, but I like this cover better. I hope there is some hint of Phantom Dust in Crimson Dragon.

Assuming my plan to share games digitally with my brother works, that's our current launch plan list:
Crimson Dragon
Dead Rising 3
BF4
Killer Instinct
Ryse
Forza 5
AC 4
If it doesn't, I might trim it down a little, but I'm getting Crimson Dragon, DR3, BF4 and KI no matter what.

Holy crap this game looks good, seriously the graphics are good enough for a CG movie.

A lot of the guys in this thread has their orders switched to 'shipped' I believe. I'd give MS CS a shout.
Call Microsoft as soon as you can.
How's that gonna work?? We can assume that "Xbox, Go to TV" will switch over to the pass through, right?

It really pains me to see the gameplay be so dull because it's so nice looking it's like the graphics are wasted.
I guess Killzone is somewhat similar but the multiplayer in that redeems it for me.

Dayum that DOES look nice.

goddamn this gen is going to be great for visuals
Edit: Is it pretty weird though that all I can think of is being an assassin and cutting the rope on that thing to the left of him and holding on to instantly access the roof?

Oh my... Where's can I download the source of this gif?
Ordered mine from the website proper, have already been charged, xbone is on it's way. Get in touch with MS soon
The gameplay isn't dull though, turn up the difficulty and you're going to need to roll and parry your enemies while cutting them down to even start a execution on them and to even survive(devs said you can die quite a lot in higher difficulties.
I think the game could probably get pretty strategic in timing executions to get back some health so you don't die and so on.
Yeah, I really hope they get to make a sequel. It seems like a bunch of development time was wasted switching from 360 to Xbox One and from a Kinect game to a controller based game. The engine is beautiful.

I have a splitter with a remote, so I'll use that for switching to 360 and PC gaming when necessary; TV will be the default.

My CC got charged this morning and there was no change on the MS Store for a few hours after that; later this afternoon I received the confirmation email and UPS tracking #.
The Store page was the last thing to change.
If it makes you feel better, give them a buzz. I'm sure you will be fine.
When you say Xbox, Go to TV it will turn on whatever the splitter is currently on, you can buy some pretty cheap splitters that come with a IR dongle and a remote control.
I see. Now, about having the 360 hooked up: Aren't the Xbox Live notifications going to double between the two platforms?

That's a good question. I have no idea.
Shut notifications off on the 360. Let the Xbox One handle all of that.
I guess you can sign off on the 360 to avoid it?
Hrrrmmmmm
wait
There ya go. sharp thinking, Bsigg12.

so much good original xbox titles if even half of them make a return I bet people would go nuts and buy the system on spot, their original OG titles are really amazing - my personal fav which is obvious phantom dust, lol.
I've been sitting my copy of Phantom Dust for years now, I should really get around to playing it. Always see the game getting high praise whenever it gets brought up.

Still got my fingers crossed for Ryse, I'd love it if we got another great Roman action game. Was Spartan: Total War the last good one?
It's funny that people forget about this simple stuff. lol
Slipped my mind haha

So good!
I want to get Ryse for the sheer fact that it looks so impressive, visually. However... I'm just not sure on the gameplay
Reviews will most likely decide if Ryse is a day one purchase or a eventual rental.

Ok a word to the wise. DO NOT BUY THE CONTROLLER BEFORE YOU GET THE CONSOLE!!!!!!
I just got back from BestBuy with my Play&Charge Controller kit, and it is pure sex in my hands. However after feeling it out and looking at it up close for a bit I have nothing left to do but wait.. I feel the controller is looking at me, whispering "play with me".. I put it in the box, and I still sense its presence.
HEPL!!!!! Its going to be hell on earth these final 5 days.

I don't have a reason at all to buy a 2nd controller. I guess I can use it as a future PC controller, but that'll be a while before MS puts drivers out for it.
If I did have a reason, I'd run out and get one. I'd love to spend the next 5 days pretending to play an FPS. You know, get the hang of it, or something.
