Xbox One Day One

Guess the real question will be if he will choose the Xbox One to be playable at home or on his boat.

Anyhoo, my original April 2006 20 gig 360 is used on my boat, the 250 gig slim is used at home atm and the X1 will replace that and be connected at home in the living room on day one and stay there until I have something better to replace it so ya know, it's good to have options, that is all.

Ready, set, Goooo.

Report back when finished.

I did the same thing over the weekend. I put $200 down and preordered both consoles. Already got a WiiU at home, so I will be enjoying next gen with all three systems, why everybody else bitches about the differences.

[QUOTE="SecretPolice"]

So for fathers day my son tried to put a 100.00 down towards a X1 but Gamestop said they were sold out of all their preorders. He obviously wants me to have One so I figured I'd use the 100.00 GS gift card he gave to buy a couple launch games and went ahead and ordered the special edition Xbox One Day One console direct off XBL.

Anyway, sorry as I'm certain this will piss off many of the Sony reps or just plain MS console haters here on SW but it's a done deed and now I can't hardly wait until Day One baby - Start your engines FM5 players !!! :D

Anyone else getting the special edition console?

I take it you don't rent games from Game Fly or anywhere else. Because you can't rent with x one. 

whats to discuss here? we all know youre a m$ fanboy anyway, you will buy an x1 no matter how crappy it would be, youre not gonna influence the cows to buy an x1 if thats what your trying to doj_assassin

Never really rented in the first place and hardly buy used, just due to the fact I want my money going towards the developers. Only time I buy used is if I am looking for something from previous generations.

Your money, you do what you want with it. Just know that you are basically renting your console and games, since when MS takes the Xbox One servers down, you will lose everything you paid for.

For gamers like me that love to go back and play awesome games from back in the day, this is a crime against gaming. But your money, you do what you want with it.

lol at all the people trying to talk you out of of...

Matt hits Nail on the head... along with many of the other games announced for X1 plus I'm certain more is coming from Rare, LH, and the BT game will likely be a winner.

As my son & I discussed, as of now, the games announced for PS4 are kinda a bore for us but char, that's just my opinion and that could change later on down the road.

SecretPolice

This E3 showed me that Rare will only make Kinect Sports games from now on. Even Killer Instinct is made by a different developer. Rare will only be used for Kinect games.

Every talent that Rare had has left the company by now, why would they stick around to make Kinect games ?

Congrats and happy fathers day. Same with me. My son is 14 and I placed 2 pre-orders early last week, Can't wait. I'm really looking forward to the system.

Nobody cares.  Some people will buy it.  What these people don't realize is that the people offering a form of rebuttal has to do completely outside the realm of fanboyism.  Adoption of the Xbox One is a concern for EVERYBODY.  This isn't as simple as "don't like it don't buy it" as the initial adoption of next gen will dictate the direction of the gaming industry.  There are games on Xbox One I'd really like to play(Halo4 was one of my favorite games of the gen)--Halo5, Killer Instinct--HOWEVER, as an adult I understand there are serious repurcussions to be had in supporting a device with such sly business tactics.

First there was $50 Xbox Live.  This Xbox Live offered a bundle of a game, a microphone, and FREE additional game updates/etc.  The $50 went into the additional content.  Then we had Halo2.  Paid content arrived.  It was reasonably priced for what you were getting, imo.  And, it was released after the fact, by demand of the player base.  Then there was Horse Saddles and it just exploded from there.  Fast forward to multiple per year dlc packs, release day dlc, locked on disc dlc, and to make matters worse it was often connected to a yearly released game.

This is just the next step.  Adoption of the next console is critical for market direction.  Anybody that doesn't see what MS is doing, given the proven trend they have shown, is completely blind.  Again, outside of fanboyism, but much respect for Sony seeing this, and in turn seeing that the eventual threat of customer mistreatment will not fair well for a sustained business.  I can't remember the last time, in any industry, where one major player said, "we're doing it this way" and the other says, "no, we're not doing that, we're going the other way."

Poor son, he will suffer in life due to poor decisions. You should have taught him better.kuraimen

Seems unwise to preorder before Microsoft has clarified their policies to a satisfactory degree. If Microsoft continues to fail disastrously at this, I'm counting on people like yourself to report how things actually work, or don't work.McStrongfast

secret police, what's up with you man? you have the cash to be able to drop 5 bills on your boat for a weekend but don't even own a cheap ps3? are there no games on the massive ps3 catalogue that you are interested in? i find that hard to believe.

sounds like your checking the forums to justify your purchase.

sounds like instead of being happy about the pS4, you are checking the forums for any pro xbox 1 comments and making sure to dispute them. :lol:

Eh, no matter much to me since I bought DC on day one and original Xbox day one and even with what happen to those, I honestly felt I got my money worth.

I will be picking up an XB1 day one, PS4 as soon as I see an exclusive must have game.

Games like Forza and Killer Instinct are part of the reason, as well as the usual assortment of MS games.  I was also impressed by TitanFall but I'll be picking that up on PC.  They announced somewhere around 17 exclusives 10 of which are new IPs, as a gamer why would I not be excited about that.  Sure I know they all won't be blockbuster hits but thats an impressive number.  

If there is one thing MS learned from Sony is that a console needs exclusives and after E3 I am 100% confident we will see more.

I'm not buying the console when it releases because of it's price.

Congratulations! You my friend have reserved your name ( or gamertag) in the annals of gaming history. Many years from now, people will look back at this as a turning point when MS took gaming kicking and screaming into the digital age and the cloud.

Why do you want an Xbox One? Not questioning your preferences or anything, of course, I am just genuinely curious what makes you want it. Rest assured I won't attack you or argue against your opinions.charizard1605

My Xbox One is preordered already too. For those of you wondering why I would do that, it is simple. I live in the US and would rather support Microsoft than Sony. Call it jingoism if you want. That isn't the only reason though. I liked what I saw and all of the issues everyone is up at arms about don't matter to me. I don't care about always on internet, because my internet is always on. I don't care about DRM because I don't buy used games or sell my games back. The TV stuff actually excites me because I have a 360 in my living room that is used almost exclusively for Netflix, Hulu, HBO Go & Amazon Prime Instant Video. Plus Forza 5, OMG Forza 5.daviwinn

friend me ProjectNatalFan on XBL

So what are you expecting from Rare ?
