What about people who work all day and would miss the delivery and then have to wait until Monday, to be out at work again.....

RoryW · Nov 21, 2013

Personally if I had work the next day I wouldn't be stood in a shop at 12am for a console. I'd get the dpd ticket and get a Saturday delivery upgrade. Anyway, that's not what I said. I said it wasn't cool, nothing to do with choice of sleep or console.

Another lovely layout.

Silent_Scone · Nov 21, 2013

lol they're ****ing idiots. How can you give a console, leave alone at launch a score.

Scrooge · Nov 21, 2013

Well they reviewed the PS4 so it was only fair they reviewed the XBO.

They've been play-testing the machines for weeks apparently, but yeah a lot of the features haven't even been updated or installed yet until tomorrow.

Silent_Scone · Nov 21, 2013

Point 5 better than PS4. So it's the better console, right? NOT NECESSARILY. Don't give it a score then. When did the kids take over.

"Alright Dave, got a PS4 yet?"

"Yeah, 8.7."

I agree.

Although I have tomorrow booked off, so no excuse to drive the 50 mile round trip at midnight, alone. But f**k it. I'm a geek.

i don't work in an office and i don't have a PA?

anyway, i don't go to bed until 1:30am normally so popping out to town (probably 300metres walk) at 12 is no big deal, its not like I'm driving 20 miles at 3am to get it, I'm normally up anyway and its local, just more convenient than screwing around with a courier, nothing about being cool.

Addicted · Nov 21, 2013

Xbone coming tomorrow - free Xbone! Got a tracking # today!

SharkyUK · Nov 21, 2013

Mine's sat 600 yards away with my name on it. Got it with Forza, Ryse and Dead Rising 3. No sleep tonight... apart from the bit whilst I wait for the update to download.

Random one - will my turtle beach headset work on the new console?

HIghly unlikely I imagine.

You can hear game sound through it, just can't use the chat functionality yet.

Thats a bit w**k, did they knock some money off?

What's it like?

C.J · Nov 22, 2013

Got mine. On way home now.

SharkyUK · Nov 22, 2013

Home, unpacked and downloading update now.

Awesome.

I was the first to preorder here at my local so I got to head the queue. Even got a round of applause!

0.75MB Net connection doesn't help though...

dk · Nov 22, 2013

Well you get £10 off a game bought with the console so I ended up buying forza extra and getting £10 off it.

Not unboxed it yet.

They have hundreds of copies of FIFA for £55 too, not sure who they're going to sell those to until the next batch come out I guess without the free FIFA. Might sell mine, should be some value in it.

Cheesy... LOL! My controller has "Day One 2013" written in the middle under the main button. I'll post some pics later.

EDIT: It's very quiet (although not doing much) and it's not as big as folks make out. A lot lighter than the original Xbox, too!

dk · Nov 22, 2013

Bloody box was heavy carrying home though, got mine connected up now, doing the update, it's downloading very rapidly, already done 30% since I started typing this.

first impression is the kinect has 3 infrared lights in it pointing at me, already annoyed with them, I'm hoping they go off when the system is off!

dk · Nov 22, 2013

Update is 500mb btw, well the first one I am doing is, I'll let you know if there's another one!

SharkyUK · Nov 22, 2013

Still on 9%... f'ing Welsh Internet around here...

dk · Nov 22, 2013

Mine took about 7 1/2 mins, just rebooting now

Adamm. · Nov 22, 2013

Damn, I forgot this was out today. Lucky gits

Wow, that's going to be a long night!!!

infrared lights seem to be off when it's rebooting so hopefully they stay off.

at least I can see when it's spying on me
