All of you without a date stop sweating you will get yours on the 7th if you bought it with Amazon Prime or non member paid for one day delivery.

That just tells me some of you haven't dealt with Amazon much, I've been with them for years and this is absolutely no biggie..i had no shipping info on launch day and the items always shipped to my door steps on launch day..relax.

 

[Mr Ice Chillin]

I’m in Los Angeles and I still haven’t gotten the email...

 

[haveagood1]

Recieved my Amazon email for the 7th last night.

 

[Rare Pepe]

Got my preorder from local electronics store here in Russia.

They say not many preorders actually went trough when they started checking credit cards and calling people.

Was able to get Project Scorpio. Rep in store said they are expecting 20 Xbox One X consoles for launch day, 10 Scorpio and 10 normal. I was only one who didn't cancel pre-order. So they will just sell Project Scorpio versions on launch day.

That is in Moscow, obviously in others parts might be different.

You'd be surprised how hit and miss Amazon, more so on the miss side, are in Canada.

 

[JrBaconCheeseburger]

I just pre-ordered on amazon.com

Left the 2 day shipping option, all consoles before have been release-day delivery.

Will this be adjusted by mid week?

Also they had a $14 one day shipping option but i never needed to pay before for release day pre-orders.

 

[Last Prime]

Anyone with experience preordering items from Newegg? Do the items arrive the day of release?

 

[midasmulligan]

Oh sheeeeeeit, getting pumped here... what's going to be your first game purchased to dig into?

After thought - I guess equivalent of 700USD price tag will do it. Most people just can't afford it.

Like why somewhat poor countries get the most otrageous prices for stuff?

Well, at least one good thing, I will get Project Scorpio without any issues just for pre-order 10 days before release.

 

[JMY86]

Oh sheeeeeeit, getting pumped here... what's going to be your first game purchased to dig into?

I'm picking up AC: Origins and Wolfenstein II from Best Buy on my way home from work today. I am going to install them on my external HD but I'm not playing until I get my X.

 

[Windle Poons]

Already have Forza 7 and Assassins Creed Origins to play on the 7th.

Can't really comment on that for our fellow CAN neighbors you know better than me..but you should be fine for a 7th delivery, especially if you pre ordered months ago.

I'm sure you're right, still, it be nice to get the email like others soon with confirmation.

 

[cucuchu]

Wolfenstein provided it has the X enhancements ready by launch of X1X

 

[nekkid]

Oh sheeeeeeit, getting pumped here... what's going to be your first game purchased to dig into?

Honestly? Halo 5. I want to see that engine how it was meant to be played.

 

[midasmulligan]

Good luck with that

I’m picking up AC and Odyssey. Figured Odyssey will help me avoid the temptation of firing up AC. I plan on playing TF2 too soon as well, as I have EA Access.

 

[Commander Keen]

Recieved my Amazon email for the 7th last night.

Nice! I pre-ordered 10seconds after it went live. I’ve had pretty good luck with amazon in the past, just makes me nervous not knowing FOR SURE.

 

[ElNino]

You would hope so for a console pre-order, but I wouldn't put it passed them to artificially delay shipment like they do for games now. I could pre-order a game two years ago (like it did with GT:S), and they will sometimes hold the shipment until the next week just because I don't subscribe to Prime. However, if I simply order the game on the day of release it will be delivered the next day whether I have Prime or not.

 

[Dabanton]

Oh sheeeeeeit, getting pumped here... what's going to be your first game purchased to dig into?

Wolfy II for me. I downloaded the $109 Bundle last night and it was all there this morning.

But I will be holding off until my X1X is plugged in. I've basically got all my games ready on a dedicated Xbox One X HD so it should be plug and play.

 

[thatJohann]

Does anyone know if Wolfenstein II will have Xbox One X enhancements on launch? Debating whether to get it now for PS4 Pro or wait for the X...

 

[Night.Ninja]

Whos doing the xbox one launch OT ?

 

[R0C]

With so many unboxing videos no one has shown the boot screen and initial setup under embargo?

Wanting to know the same thing. Hopefully MS releases a comprehensive list soon!

I preordered Mario in April. Its not showing up till Sunday. Amazon.ca is complete trash.

My wife took the day off on the 7th for my xbox so someone is home when it arrives. It better show up on time or they will feel my wrath lol.

 

[arhra]

Embargo says they can currently show everything up to but not including actually powering the system on, apparently.

Didn't somebody hint at a possible different boot sequence for the X?

 

[f@luS]

Didn’t even plan to get AC origin and Wolf 2. But I need to feed my Xbox One X. Can’t wait

 

[BouncyFrag]

I’m about to trade in my One S to gamestop. Do I need to do anything other than a factory reset?

 

[QuikNez]

Man the X is so appealing for a power monger like me... but so is a Switch w Zelda + Mario.... so torn guys ...

 

[Windle Poons]

Why would it be different? Is it supposed to be?

 

[Ducayne]

Are the HDMI and Power cable exactly the same as the S? I saw the digital foundry unboxing where they said it was one of the ‘best hdmi cables ever made.’

I ideally just want to swap boxes and keep all my cabling the same, and trade in th X cables with my S box.

 

[Papo Swing]

Was planning on AC: Origins and Shadow of Waras my "launch" games, maybe CoD WW2 if the campaign is good.

I believe so, that is what I am aiming to do also.

Want to know this also regarding the power cable? would be great if I could just swap the main unit out.

 

[midasmulligan]

It's official, wife preordered the xbox one x for the bday. We're both taking off Tuesday and gaming all day...she already bought ACO, and picked up Mario for the switch yesterday too...Oh boy it's going to be wild. Now question, do I top it off with the elite controller?

 

[Maroon Gamer]

Oh man the review package of the One X is insane. 20 games and Planet Earth 2 on bluray

 

[gamz]

I know! Just watched UAC unboxing and it's incredible. Great unboxing vid btw.

Yep I watched him too. Microsoft did a great job with this.

 

[gamz]

I loved the booklet that comes with it. Really slick!

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Yeah, I loved the UAC unboxing.

I just wish they would add Dolby Vision to the One X to give it something else to make it more unique.

Only matter of time if DV takes off.

 

[GodfatherX]

Those without a ship date, good news, I’m probably canceling my preorder

 

[Mrstriker09]

Its getting real..we getting close to have our cards charged and preparing for shipment

 

[Mrstriker09]

Oh man the review package of the One X is insane. 20 games and Planet Earth 2 on bluray

They get to play Battlefront 2 so early!

Obviously, yes

 

[midasmulligan]

Obviously, yes

Actually, I saw that the elite controller needs a dongle to use with PC?? Might have to go with the recon tech controller as it uses BT

 

[Papo Swing]

So quick question, do I need a special/better quality HDMI cable to do HDR?

 

[Krakatoa]

So quick question, do I need a special/better quality HDMI cable to do HDR?

It comes with one.

 

[Newlove]

So quick question, do I need a special/better quality HDMI cable to do HDR?

Standard PS4's can now do HDR (it was in a fireware update) and I just use a standard cable.
