Wish I lived around that area.

Lucky bastards.

Ryse keeps pulling ahead, very interesting

Glad to see that those three games are getting positive previews.

And it looks like Ryse surprised most of them by how good it was. I still think that game will surprise most people, I do not see it getting mid-low 70's score on metacritic like many here think it will.

I may have to jet down to the Mall of America on October 25/26 to see if I can get a chance to play some of the X1 games.

Yeah Ryse is getting loads of love. This will be the game where consumers show there friends, they get gobsmacked by how good the gameplay combat and visuals are and buy an Xbox One.

Its getting loads of love.

Cant wait. 

Agreed. Ryse is building steam. It may get a buy from me yet!

That's cool and all but wouldn't it be REALLY cool if they rounded up a group of Playstation fanboys and did this? Seriously though, I'm very happy that Ryse seems to be ramping up to be better than a lot of us thought.

Xbox has whole is building up steam.... by November when the MS marketing machine will be in full gear, I have no doubt the gap the pre order fiasco created will shrink a lot... especially if MS has a whole keeps improving its brand image which it is... their brand value in the tech world has been in 5th or 6th position for the past 4 years even though people imagine they are hated.... the brand valuation is around 98 billions USD.... and that's including win8 split up appreciation... they have the door wide open for improvement and all the signals indicate that it is exactly what they are doing... even if it has some major hick ups.... MS can afford them as long as they keep up the good work.... l'm convinced the next decade will show us a reborn MS one way or the other....

LOL, Europe gamers seem to buy anything that looks good on the visual side. They don't have an attitude against games. Europe is like kids, they need more experience.

Note: I am not saying anything about XBOX ONE.
