Oh yeah, I'm all-in for Xbox One after all, seeing the launch titles. A good group right there that I'll be able to pick up and put my Xbox One to immediate use.

- Battlefield 4 (DICE, Electronic Arts)
- Dead Rising 3 (Capcom Vancouver, Microsoft)

Over/under on a 180 on this policy = within 1st year of launch. If they are down 2:1 or more in sales I GUARANTEE (1) price drop and/or (2) no kinect
Rumor has it release date will be November 8th

Xbox One: External Storage Not Supported at Launch
"It definitely is on the list."

Meh, oh well. 500 GB will be easily enough to start. I have plenty of room right now with my 250 GB drive on the 360.
Yeah I don't think its going to be an issue for most for quite awhile. I'm still waiting to see if the HDD on PS4 is the same size as PS3 or if I'll have to upgrade later on with a different HDD.Quote:

Disappointed by both console launch dates. Oh well.
XB1 Day One Addition still available for pre-order through Microsoft.

Approaching two months for both though. Getting there.
I'll keep names out of this, but I saw someone tweet that they liked they liked Microsoft's 'strategy' as it makes the XBox One the 'latest thing' and that will be a benefit on Black Friday :D :fp:Quote:

I know. I'm just so tired of this generation and can't wait for the next one to start. Since PS4 is launching first, looks like I'll be getting games like Battlefield, Watch Dogs, and the other launch multiplatform games on PS4.Quote:

Eh, works for me. It gives me that many weeks long to devote to GTA V, and I'll end up now with my November 15th paycheck ahead of the release, so I'll be good on both purchasing the Xbox One and getting at least one or two games at the immediate start of release.
I just saw a news story that system production just hit full steam yesterday on it. Probably why it went from a week before to a week after.Quote:

That is actually kind of cool, going with the same, specific date 8 years later. Definitely an actual reasoning behind choosing that date rather than just throwing a dart at the calendar. I'm cool with waiting an extra week or two for something like that. It has more importance in the Xbox family than just some random date or trying to beat PS4 to the punch.Quote:

So it may help with those who don't necessarily have kids or are looking for a console for the first time for their kids, the Xbox One will be a common name those immediate days leading into Thanksgiving and Black Friday, with all the ongoing hoopla of its release. While the PS4 will still be right there next to it on the shelves, the fanfare of its release will have waned a little bit between the 15th release date and then Xbox One's fanfare firing up that following week.

Well MS doubles down on its Football Box for its first U.S. commercial.
Too bad the NFL package won't be free or under 200 bucks lol. I'd buy it.
MS still has spec evny:

MS still spinning denying PS4 > XBone1

The world has just ended for CLW, despite his heavy handed Sony whoring, bomb number three has just been set off in Japan.

Sony is merely a bottom 15 wannabe. PS4 owners in turn will be wannabe's.
Spoiler: show

Microsoft must have spent a shit load of money to keep Sony off that list.
Exactly what is a "Toys r Us"?? I thought they were known for tricycles, plastic figures and diapers? Grab an electronic or computer or home entertainment system retailer......someone that is a serious player in the market you claim to be in:D.........toys:fp:......probably will be exclusive at bed bath beyond next:DQuote:

I'm actually trying to think of: (1) the last time I purchased ANYTHING from Toys R Us; and/or (2) The last time I even saw one of their stores. Generally they are TINY little stores inside of malls. I mean it's not like there won't be PS4 ads from the Gamestop 10 feet down the hall at the mall or at the Best Buy anchor store or at Wal-Mart; Target; etc....Quote:

I'm cancelling my pre-order now and signing up for more Gov't surveillance before its too late. :nod:
...and if Sony would have done it instead of Microsoft, your post would look an awful lot like Bdoughty's original post, only completely serious. :D
Ding Ding Ding... Took a while but that was to be expected.Quote:

Toys R us are a large chain of Best Buy sized stores that you find near malls, with some mall stores that are quite large.Quote:
