Forums - Microsoft - LOLtaku: Xbone Won't Launch On Nov 8th (#CBOAT MS Release and Digital Plans in 2nd Post, thanks @arcane_chaos)

Yesterday, we heard from a source at a marketing company who had seen documentation pencilling the Xbox One in for a tentative, unconfirmed November 8 launch. Today, a source close to Microsoft tells us that's not the case.P

The source says to expect the console at a date later than November 8, though obviously still in the month of November, as that's the release window Microsoft has promised for some time.P

So hey, we're back to not having a release date, but at least armchair fortune-tellers can now rule out November 8 (or earlier!).

Cboat just dropped some info:

Back home now. Yay >_<

Apologies for the late October no show for the PS4. I heard it was that, but Sony is not my strong suit. It happens. Call 1800BUTOCXS for a refund of your money. ;)

Seriously, I am sorry though.

Xbox One November 8th hahaha no.
Saw the Kotaku article, then retraction. That's ok. I could have told them November 8th was a pipe dream. I know MS Better than SCEA haha.

*Xbox One CS Representitives are being called in for November 15th
*These are contractual reps, not ones that actually work for MS.
*New CS software implemented for November 15th with support for the Xbox One
*Called "Assisted Support Desktop"
*Anti-phishing stuff to make it hard for scammers to call in about account info that isn't theirs. If the customer doesn't have an e-mail or a phone number to associate with the account, xbone reps will have to tell the caller to eff off.
*I wish I had access to Sony CS 3 weeks ago.

Do you want to sell your digital games? OH NO I ONLY REPORT BAD NEWS FOR XBONE!

For the following questions please assume that Microsoft Xbox One will offer a digital marketplace where you can purchase and sell digital video games.

New digital marketplace where you can purchase and sell digital video games:
-This will be available through the systems’ premium subscription service (such as Xbox Live Gold/Playstation Plus)
-You will have the ability to purchase and sell pre-owned digital video games.
-You will have the ability to sell back/trade in your versions of digital games you have purchased.
-You will have the ability to buy pre-owned digital versions of games through the online marketplace.
-You will have a variety of prices and features available to purchase for pre-owned digital versions of games.
-All transactions will take place via digital downloads/transfers within your next generation gaming system’s digital store.
-New full game digital downloads will still be available, as will physical (disc) versions sold at retail stores/websites.
-Pre-owned disc versions of games will be able to be played on the next generation gaming system for free.
-There will be a marketplace service fee charged to the seller when they sell a digital version of a game.
Last thing, final word on the matter:
Get mad if you want. Call me in to question if you like, no sweat off my nose. My job is safe and your tender tear buckets make flowers grow.

9 years of forums, been here before. Reddit mad folks show up and I'll turn the lights off when they leave.

Why?

Simple.

I don't get paid to post.

Bye

EDIT:(thought I copied this as well)

Cboat said that MS digital policies aren't %100 set in stone:

 To clarify, because some folks are reading it incorrectly and god forbid I post and enjoy Germany only to be yelled at by top internet men about getting things wrong.

Anyway

Digital resale is collating survey information! Not set in stone, but a direction to look at? Xbox One doing a good thing? It's Impossible!

Okay, see you in 2014

could mean they're testing some out/coming out in waves/ or possibly none....



These digital plans sounds great.



Funny fact... it is now the turn of Xbone fans believe in CBOAT



Then when? they should have announced it at Gamescom, when are they planning on announcing it?

It would be great to resell digital games. But I remain skeptical. It's not really needed if the games lower their price after a while. Currently Bully: Scholarship Edition is under $5 on Xbox Live. It's hard to beat things like that.

And with CBOAT's latest track record I remain skeptical.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

The only certain I have is that the stores will get crazy if both launched in Nov 15th in US.

Seems like MS was planning everything to that day but Sony came and stole the date lol

Last track record? He was wrong with PS4 date but he didn't have insiders in Sony... MS is the strong with him.



I don't believe anything he says. I'll wait until MS announces something otherwise I'd just be getting my hopes up.



How can you you resell a digital version of an item. It's not like it's used considering it's just a pile of data.

Pretty cool feature though. Less monies spent!
