Been having a quick go with it as it arrived a few hours ago. Really like it so far. Being able to jump back and forth from game to tv/music etc is epic. As soon as it works with Sky I can see me using that rather then the sky box. For the price I was a bit annoyed to begin with but it is clear it isn't just a games machine. It is an entertainment machine that also plays games. And having used it I can safely say it is money well spent.


Sky does work with it. Just not fully intergrated into One Guide yet. You can still have Sky thorugh the console and multitask at the same time. What is wierd is seeing the Sky Guide in the Home window on the dash playing while doing other things. This media box has a very bright future.

Reserved. Mine will be here in an hour or so...

along with Ryse, Forza and DR

 

Hurry up Mohammad!!


must be exciting for you i hope you enjoy it very much, id be jumping on the next gen bandwagon with you all, but due to unforseen circumstances i had to cancel preorders

that sounds bad, hope it isnt or if it is it sorts itself out.

Mohammad is now up to number 71....

You will have such an amzing day when it arrives. Take your time unpacking it and enjoy the ride. I did everything slowly and relaxed. I loved every minute.

Oh it took me 5 minutes and 33 seconds to download the day 1 update.

Ryse installed to either 7 or 8% then I was allowed to play. Like 10 minutes then I could play.

You are gonna love this machine. Its the most ambitious electronic device Ive ever bought. And it delivers alot on launch.

I *love* the new little logo light on the Kinect. It look a bit like a glowing ball with the X. Sexy, sexy for an electronic.

That really was a clever touch.  Whomever came up with that should get a nice little Christmas bonus.

Hope you guys enjoy it. I was gonna buy it and Ryse day one but got pulled over Monday so went ahead and paid that off yesterday. Will have one on the 5th or so, assuming I can find one and there are no disastrous hardware issues between now and then.

I think it goes

Recruit/Soldier/Centurion/Legionaire

Im on Centurion as Legionaire is not available without completing Centurion. I love the game. Its a good Cinematic experience of Rome. I really like it. If you like Cinematic games its brilliant. If your expecting a platformer, youll be disappointed.

Well I havent opened mine yet, still debating and probably will sleep first.

But the box is big and it's heavy, I can say that. Surprisingly heavy.

Yea, I know its a game that I will enjoy playing. I wont get it today but I will soon.

Got mine too. I agree with the statement above. It's heavy. But it does look beautiful. I don't know why they say the PS4 is more beautiful. They're both the same in looks. I have not played any of the games because i have been toying with Kinect. I really like it and I truly enjoy telling it what to do.

Visually it really is something else. Everything looks way better than the Youtube videos. Sometimes there is so much going on screen that I just had to stare and not move. This is a launch game for god sake not 2nd tier game.
