OK I need some help confirming this.

Is everyone who pre-ordered the Xbox One supposed to get a free year of Xbox Live with it or am I crazy?


I wasn't aware that it came with any free Xbox Live.

OK, I guess that just confirms that I've gone crazy. I could have sworn I heard mutiple times that it was supposed to and even thought I saw an ad for the X1 pre-order on my 360 that said it did.

Yeah I think some article accidentally said that so people just kept repeating it.

 

Day one boxes do include an exclusive achievement though!

I don't think the PS4 had any free PS Plus time either. Kind of dissapointing from both Sony and Microsoft, you'd think they would have at least given a free month.

All PS4s so far come with a free month of PS+, a free month of music unlimited, and $10 credit for the PSN store. Really great actually.

Yeah I think youre just crazy :P  I wish though xD




       

I got to see Black Friday Stock (Event 1)Today.  Everything has plenty of stock except PS4 is oddly very low.  Doesn't look like Sony was able to replenish America's stock by the time of Black Friday here.  I cant speak for the rest of america, just where i live. (I guess i should make a "Target like" thread hardy har har)


Free rice with your Xbox One



Very low stock



PS3 is $149 - Nice deal xD

Skid 2

I know it's for that other console, but just imagine he's talking about the XBOX ONE instead and you'll laugh.

i know that there are fanboys on every side and i didn't say that it's only sony fans (not sure if you try to tell me this with your video, didn't watch it). i just said that there are fanboys who downplay everything which isn't from their beloved company and amazon's rating system just sucks when it comes to allowing everyone to write a review. there are enough people who buy stuff on amazon but only when the reviews don't sound too bad. when 75/75 1 star reviews aren't from verified purchases, i realize that there could be something wrong but the average guy who doesn't look for that just thinks "damn, every second review is horrible, what's wrong with this product"

not sure if amazon really believes that it makes sense to allow people who only want to hurt the sales of one product to post their crap on amazon. 



I have another question.

Are there races in Forza 5 that consist of more than 2 laps? It's just so difficult to get a non-penalty lap when there are only 2 laps in every race.

 

 

Oh and does anyone know when HBO Go comes  to the X1?

Jay, none of those Xbox One stock pictures you posted are working for me. Anyone else not seeing them?


I may need to upload them to photobucket first.  Ill do that later and repost them.

Um maybe you should have just watched it?



My disc based games won't work anymore :/

After about 5 seconds of the title screen I get booted back to the dashboard. Blu-rays still work just fine.

Well that's wierd, different from any of the other Xbox One issues that I've heard of. Fortunately the Xbox One has a 1 year Warranty, plus Microsoft just announced that anyone with hardware issues is getting a free digital copy of one of 4 major Xbox One releases.

I did some research on it and apparantly it's a RAM glitch and you have to completely reboot your system every 2 days or so to keep playing games. So not a huge deal but it is slightly annoying...hopefully they'll patch that.

Anyways now that the disc games are working again, I finally have gotten a chance to play Ryse. So far it's quite good! Graphics are absolutely insane...can't wait to see what games look like later in the X1's life.
