Xbox One Console Thread (Console is currently in stock as of 12/3 at Amazon)

Since Amazon put up some PS4s are midnight (available to the any), how likely would they do that with Xboxes? And how likely would I be able to get one if I wait at 11:59 PM? I missed out on a pre-order and I'm pretty reluctant on waiting in line, with the possibility of not getting a console.
Flip a damn coin and don't ask questions that are impossible to predict or answer.

 
Well, looks like I will check one more time in the morning for a B2 G1 sale. If not, off to Gamestop and Target to reserve a couple of games.

I've got two pre-order cards myself, but I've heard their pre-order system is shit. As in they don't even hold the game for you. Which is why i'm planning on getting their early, to beat the xbox one console buyers and hopefully get both games that I want.

Wow, then what is the point of it?

That really makes no sense. I am not saying that I do not believe you, but....

 
hey guys I posted this yesterday but it got flooded out. my local best Buy got 10 extra consoles over preorders and this is in comparison to 50 extra PS4s they got.... just to put it into perspective for you
From the look of it so far, XB1 does perceive to more scarce than PS4. Hopefully we'll see ebay prices go higher up in value compare to PS4. Good news is MSFT hasn't made any supply promises to consumers, hopefully our xb1 day1 edition will carried some value.

It's just from what I've heard, I've never done a pre-order through target but just look at the process. They have cards you can purchase at registers for a "pre-order" but they don't take your name or anything. How are they supposed to know they are going to save a game specifically for you?

I will see friday morning but I am not going to take any chances.

Those "Day 1" controllers with chrome d-pads will fetch an easy $100 by itself.

The cards were numbered. The Target I went to had 15. So they will put aside 15 of them that you can only get if you show them the card. No card, no system.

 
Got a feeling X1 online and game stability will surpass the ps4's current state easily at launch, though some things you just never know.

so how many people are buying both systems? and how many are holding out for the xbox?



Got both paid off plus i got a free PS4.
 
Just the Xbox One for me and I will never get (or play) the PS4, just like I did with the PS3.

Selling the Day One controller is tempting but it is too special for me to do it.

Why not? Just curious about your complete brand loyalty to Microsoft here. I didn't use my PS3 much after getting it 4 years into its life cycle, but the Uncharted games alone made the purchase worth it for me.

 
Just the Xbox for now for me. Eventually I will get a PS4 if enough great games come out for it. I believe Naughty Dog will create something that will make me want one really bad.
I was really hoping the next Naughty Dog game was gonna be either Jak 4 or a new IP.

But Uncharted "4" or whatever its gonna be called will definitely do.

Im getting both but if I had to choose one, I would get the X1.

Yeah same here. Looking very much forward to seeing Uncharted 4 in action.

Where did you get the info that the dpad was chrome? From what I've seen the only difference is "day one 2013" is printed in the center of the controller and that print looks like it could be scratched off with a fingernail, I'd defo sell it for $100+. In fact since day one editions will probably have novelty to some I can see them easily fetching a couple hundred more than the standard green box, so I'll flip my day one edition and keep the green box I hopefully get free from the conga line.

Major Nelson has an unboxing on YouTube with the chrome dpad.
 
I count it as three. My messed up way of counting. Can't count today or Friday.
That's what I usually do too if it's a midnight launch I'm going to, but I'm being more conservative with my day counting this time. I've had countdowns going on my Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 tablet since the day the date was revealed in early September.

Chrome D-Pad confirmed by Xbox Wire.
Post #4252 has a close-up picture of it.

hrmm just watched it and Larry does say it's a Chrome dpad, but it just looks like it's shiney black reflecting the studio light, and if you look at pictures of it it looks black also. hrmm

Oh wow that's a much better picture. That is pretty slick looking, might make it tougher to let go of.

Man, I'm torn between my desire to have a controller that looks different from my second player controller and my desire to make some scratch on eBay. Decisions...

 
When I'm laying on my death bed and looking at all the things I love and loved most in life, I want to be able to have that Day One 2013 controller to hold.  That's why I'm not selling it.

I hope you're joking, cause that is kind of creepy, I mean loving a toy that much. I think when I lay on my death bed I'll wonder if I should have wasted so much time, money, and energy on such a frivolous hobby.

Looks like I have my first date with a girl since July 2011 coming up the weekend after the Xbox One comes out.  I've already been working out a ton but it's only been cardio as usual.  I'm going to be hitting Xbox Fitness hard that first full week after the Xbox One so that I'm feeling and looking my best by the time that post-Thanksgiving weekend happens.

Absolutely not. It's not a waste of your time or life if you're enjoying it as you do it. I'm proud of every minute I've spent gaming and would never regret it. It's a much better use of time than many other things that are deemed acceptable by the worthless society we live in.

 
fuck bitches, they should of just called it the sexbox. I'm going to sex it so hard and everyone will be able to watch thanks to the all new kinect.

Okay, but absolutely do not talk about that or anything similar on your date. Again, you're being very creepy. You should try to take the social cues from other people's reactions and learn from them so that you can communicate more normally in the future. It may not come naturally, but the effort will pay off.

She might run when she sees your green shrine plastered with windows cds, office cds, msn cds, Microsoft keyboard and mice, the duke controller, statuettes of Master Chief and Marcus Fenix, pictures of Bill Gates, Larry Hryb, Phil Spencer, and the picture of Phil Harrison with a big red X through it cause you won't accept him since he once worked for <gasp> Sony.
