Sounds awesome! Get DR3!

I'll give DR2 another crack first. Played it for a small while then the timed missions began...

I got it with games with gold. Still on my 360 HDD.

From my personal experience from getting a Vita, Wii U, and PS4 at launch, you're going to run out of games that interest you really quick. Even games you aren't really interested in (like dr3?) become fun just because they're on a new system. Plus no way are you going to want to switch back to the 360 after experiencing next(now current!)gen magic.

Well thanks a lot... You now made me feel even more guilty for not pre-ordering at launch. I got a little burned by my Wii U launch, so I took it out on and Xbox One :(

it definitely seems worth it. Can you tell me how good, or bad... the controller is compared to the 360's? The 360 controller has been my favorite, and since I'm getting both One and 4, the controller will be my deciding factor on which system I get all multiplats on. What's good and what's bad?

Hope you enjoy your console, and I really hope no issues come your way.

Oh hey ironman what can you say about install from disc times before you can start playing? I'm reading reports of it being 10 minutes for one user and 2 hours for another.

Off to collect mine now, after ZERO hours sleep, I feel like a zombie, how apt!

Quantum Break and Sunset Overdrive News

Microsoft has focused on promoting its Xbox One launch titles with the console's release this Friday with highly anticipated games like Quantum Break from Alan Wakedeveloper Remedy Entertainment and Sunset Overdrivefrom Insomniac Games taking a back seat since their reveals earlier this year. Microsoft Studios corporate vice president Phil Spencer gave an update on both in an interview released Wednesday.

"We did a pretty deep dive [on Quantum Break] last week while we were in Europe, and I'm feeling really good about the creative," Spencer told Polygon. "It may be before the end of the year when we talk more about what the story and the gameplay is... We have a pretty good piece that I'm trying to coerce people into putting out before the end of the year ... showing the full Remedy vision, with Sam [Lake] giving a pretty good description of how the game works with some new gameplay footage.

"Maybe VGX would be a good place for that."

VGX is the new name for the Spike Video Game Awards and is currently scheduled to broadcast on Dec. 7, 2013.

As for Sunset Overdrive, it sounds like Insomniac Games is almost ready to begin showing the game off as well as it is now playable. The game's "vertical slice," a section of the game that represents the gameplay, was recently passed as well though its unclear at the moment if the game will make its originally announced 2014 release date.

"We're playing a full section of the game and feeling really good about the open world gameplay that they've put together. I like the investment around new IP at the launch of a new console," Spencer said.

I know one of our best members Yo_John117 hasn't been here for a while and it looks like he is going to miss the launch as well :/ Hopefully his internet will be back soon but we miss you over here Yo_John xD

I've been getting ready to move and I have to finish a bunch of homework ahead of time because I won't have internet (besides my phone) for up to two weeks.

If I find a Xbox One today, sign me up. I will post pictures later in a thread.

Neither is 700k-1m since we know it has over 1m preorders.  Anyways i voted 1.4m
