Re: Xbox Friday?

I totally understand, I am very much a collector too, not games but I still love buying movies, but there is a lot of re-usability there and I watch a lot of movies. I guess I am not really into the multiplayer games, but I tend to only have a couple on the go at a time so I guess it makes sense to move them on afterwards as I will not likely play it again. The thing I wish Microsoft would do is lower the price for games on demand, why would I pay the same price for a game like GTAV and download it (currently can be found for cheaper in disc format anyway) while I can buy the disc version and still maybe get a few bucks for it down the road. Just like music and such I think there needs to be a reduction in price for 100% digital content, plus should be less overhead, middlemen and production costs on their end so some savings should be passed on to the consumer.

Totally agree!

Re: Xbox Friday?

I have a pre order at best buy that I might grab at the midnight release. I'm off Friday so I might get the chance to play. I don't need the new system but I'm going to be a nerd and get it day 1 just like the 360.

Not to pumped for forza with 200 cars and 14 tracks. Lots less than forza 4.

Re: Xbox Friday?

Mine showed up at the office a couple hours ago along with the new Live membership. Forza isn't being delivered until Monday though.

Re: Xbox Friday?

I nerded it up and picked up my pre order at bb last night. They only had 25 extra consoles which were gone about 10 people before me. So maybe 40 people went home empty handed. I was hoping for the free xbox but I didn't win.

Lots of new features to play with that I havnt yet. I'm mostly mad about the music you have to pay monthly to play your own music, it doesn't take a USB for music yet. I hate paying extra for anything, dlc, music, streaming video. Drives me crazy. I wouldn't call my self a fan boy for anything but I think the Xbox is still better than the ps4 for the limited features that both have.

Any early reviews??

Re: Xbox Friday?

I've got 5 hours or so into forza and I'm changing my mind, it's pretty good. I haven't tuned cars yet but the driving feels pretty good.

Bf4 is pretty hard for me online. Not sure on the number of players but it's like 32 a side on some maps and I'm getting destroyed. I need to learn the maps first I guess, just don't have that much time these days. It looks great though.

Re: Xbox Friday?

I have not yet used it, it's still in sealed the box and I'm debating to keep it or not. But I've heard from other people that the voice commands to control the system are awesome and very useful.

Re: Xbox Friday?

Forza and Dead rising are a lot of fun. Played it at my buddies place, a lot of cool features in the new system too.

Graphics and controller are awesome, playing forza the vibrations on the control vary from trigger to trigger, front/back and side to side of controller.

Surfaces and traction are a lot more realistic now as well, and tire heat and wear makes a much bigger difference too.
