We'll know in three years. This site isn't representative of the entire world.

I know it isn't, but the Xbone is apparently getting outsold badly by the PS4 pretty much everywhere.

Anyway, if any of you actually get the Xbox One I'm FranckSweden on Live. I'll be playing Forza 5, might get FIFA too.

I doubt I will be. Not unless GTA VI is console exclusive.

Apparently mines just got delivered.

Really not that fussed, didn't even end up buying any games other than the free Fifa you got.

Just looking forward to saying 'XBOX ON' and starting a fight with it when it doesn't understand my Scottish accent.

The season is in full flow atm, unsure how Green Bay are doing.

Hope Chris Hamburger makes an appearance, though.

You will find out whos playing on probably 18th & 19th of Jan. Packers are 3rd in there division but can still make the play-offs. Would say it would be hard though with Aaron Rodgers injured for a few weeks

Console updates are annoying as fuck, especially as soon as you start the thing.

Just got my Xbox One (Wasn't in to collect it last week).

The controller is awesome. So much better than the 360.

The console itself looks better than I thought it would. It's not as big as everyone makes out either, not that it makes much of a difference how big it is. It's completely silent though. Kinect is also smaller than I thought it would be.

Snapping tabs is sick. Can snap the football to the side of the screen while playing a game or on Skype etc. Instantly switching to TV is also pretty cool.

The PS4 might be a bit more powerful but will definitely use a lot of the extra features on this.

Doesn't seem like I'll be getting my console until next week now.

Not that it matters very much as my Forza order at Game is starting to turn into a right circus.

Ordered the game on Tuesday last week, get an order confirmation but never any shipping confirmation, while the payment was listed as pending by PayPal. I send Game an email over the weekend asking whether they had shipped my order or not, I get told that they did so on Thursday and that I should get it within 4-6 working days. I've yet to receive the game and two days ago PayPal cancelled the transaction.

Basically, they either didn't send me the game or they sent me the game without charging me for it. I'd say the former is more likely than the latter.

I got one of the disc breaker consoles, currently can only play FIFA whilst I wait for it to be replaced (FIFA was a download). Got Ghosts and Ryse ready to play

Would probably get 3 of them but two of them I can get for ps4 and would then only get Halo for Xbox just because I have played the others

We're currently selling 4 Xbox's per minute as a business at Currys/PC World. Considering we are probably nowhere near the largest retailer in the UK of these its saying something.

Would be interested to here your thoughts on the micro transactions in Forza, just listened to a podcast where they talked about them and they sound pretty gross tbh.

Didn't they just half the prices basically? Heard it was around £100 for the E21 originally.

All games will have micro-transactions soon, its gonna be a "normal" thing. Easy way to make money.

Haven't gotten my console yet (And I have no idea when I will) so I can't comment on Forza 5 specifically.

Based on Forza 4 and Horizon, with "car tokens", monthly DLC packs etc, it's slightly shit, but you're not really missing out on anything if you don't buy any of it.

Barring the Porsche expansion (and that situation is all on EA) there were only about 3 cars released as DLC for Forza 4 that I would have really wanted. (And other than the LaFerrari, there's nothing really exciting in the first Forza 5 DLC either)

Theres one thing having them and then theres doing what Forza seems to be doing which is making cars so unattainable that your forced to either spend money or just not have some of the best cars in the game.

There were some ridiculously unattainable cars in the previous Forza games too. Some of the vintage Ferraris costing over 200 million credits for instance.

And then there's the unicorn cars.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing whether the complaints are just the usual fluff about DLCs or if there's genuine substance to them. If only I would get my bloody Xbone already....

I don't think theres been any complaints about the DLC tbh its just the way they've gone about the micro-transactions, like they're trying to put in a free to play model but with a full price game.
