Shorty Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 I didn't even realise it was coming out on the 360 until you just said it :p
Agent Gibbs Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 2 week delay? really? for more development? if it had been 2 months fine, but 2 weeks is obviously to highlight the Xbone version
Charlie Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 My brother and I are planning on getting the Xbox One for Titanfall release day. Can't wait. Now I just need to save up £500 before then...
Kaepora_Gaebora Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Cynically they really shouldn't have bothered with a 360 version. I mean, it's the right thing to do for the customers, but it could be a system seller which convinces people (like @Charlie!) to get a One. If I could justify to my GF picking up the One in the year we are buying a house and I'm doing the Edinburgh Festival I would have one already! But alas I might pick up 360 Titanfall so I'm up to speed with it when I do get my One...hopefully Xmas!

Tbh with you it isn't because of Titanfall we're getting it, it's more that we've been planning on it for a while and getting in on Titanfall release seems like a good idea. :P

Charlie Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Just bought an Xbox One by accident. I either didn't read the button properly or Very.co.uk lied to me. I thought I was going through to the final order page! Turns out I wasn't and had to phone up and cancel it.
Shorty Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Add to Basket Check Out Next Type in address Type in credit card number Confirm WHAT I DONT KNOW HOW THAT HAPPENED
Charlie Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 I didn't even type in credit card details it just went straight to order because they have a credit facility. I still thought that they'd want my card number as I wasn't even going to use the credit they offered me. I also didn't see the box for entering your discount code which they said was further down the process.
Shorty Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 I'ma just messin'. Incidentally, if you were buying it today, Asda would be the place to go! Xbox20 code knocks £20 off.
Charlie Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 I'ma just messin'. Incidentally, if you were buying it today, Asda would be the place to go! Xbox20 code knocks £20 off. I saw that on HotUKDeals earlier - in that same thread someone mentioned that Very has 10% off for your first purchase so was taking a look at that too.
Hero-of-Time Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 More details on MP and party updates coming in March. *Get to your friends list faster. The friends list will be front and center on the homepage of the Friends app. Click the Social tile on Home, or say “Xbox, go to Friends” to see who’s online and what they’re up to. From there you can quickly send messages and get into a party. *Party chat will be turned on by default. When you party up, chat audio will be turned on by default. *Chat with friends playing different games. Party chat will be separated from people playing your game, so you can chat with your friends who are online or you can chat with everyone playing the game. *We’re adding an “Invite friends to game” option to your multiplayer titles moving forward. Similar to Xbox 360 titles, this will appear inside a games’ menu and offer a simple and quicker way to set up your multiplayer battles. Selecting “Invite friends” will let you invite friends to your game and party. *We’re adding “Recent Players.” This is a simple list that shows you Xbox Live members you’ve recently played with, making it easier to stay in touch with people, or add new friends after your multiplayer battles. Good stuff. It's nearly back to the way it is on the 360 now.
Charlie Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Good stuff. It's nearly back to the way it is on the 360 now. We were talking about this at work. Why weren't these basic features at launch like they were on the 360?
Hero-of-Time Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 We were talking about this at work. Why weren't these basic features at launch like they were on the 360? No idea. It baffles me why they changed the setup when it worked so perfectly for the 360.
Shorty Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 I guess they thought they were trimming the fat a bit, but didn't really refer to any kind of research in the process
flameboy Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 I guess they thought they were trimming the fat a bit, but didn't really refer to any kind of research in the process No idea. It baffles me why they changed the setup when it worked so perfectly for the 360. I personally like the way snap works for most stuff and with that "ethos" in mind I'm not sure how they would change party to what it used to be. I like being able to go home with one tap of button then it's just a quick flick to the right for snap and then pick what you want from that menu!
Hero-of-Time Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Kinect Sports Rivals - the game that should show what Xbox One Kinect can really do - will finally be released in April. That's 11th April in Europe, and 8th April in the US, Australia and New Zealand. Climbing, wake racing and target shooting are the new sports; soccer/football, tennis and bowling are the old - but revamped - sports. Kinect Sports Rivals was once talked of as a launch title for Xbox One, but was delayed by Microsoft in the name of high quality. A demo, featuring only wake racing, was put out on 22nd November to coincide with the console's launch. I will probably check this out. I enjoyed the original game but never picked up the sequel.
Charlie Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Got my Xbox One yesterday. Loving it so far, everything working really well. FIFA downloaded flawlessly and have been playing online all morning. The graphics on BF4 are a world apart from the 360.
Kaepora_Gaebora Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Looks like a Titanfall One bundle is coming out! Minus the controller though which is upsetting! Still if this site is to be believed, it'll be price of a normal console and with a months live subscription as well! http://www.totalxbox.com/71979/xbox-one-titanfall-console-bundle-leaked/
Charlie Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Glad I didn't wait if that is what they're offering. I got the console + FIFA for £430 + £20 for any other game from a huge list (possibly the launch titles). Bought a Play and Charge Kit on Amazon this morning, disappointed it didn't come with one. Xbox One has just had a price drop in the UK only to £399.99 including (i think) a digital download of Titanfall. Comes to about the same as I paid for it when you add on Battlefield 4 and FIFA 14 so I'm not that bothered about missing it. A digital download of Titanfall would be at least 20gb too which would be a nightmare.
bryanee Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Ooooooooh price drop already and free copy of Titanfall so that about an £80 saving. A right kick in the nuts to early adopters.
V. Amoleo Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Feel a bit cheated by the price drop even though it's only £30. Loved Dead Rising 3 and Forza 5 but they've released no new games since launch.
ReZourceman Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Yeah that sucks for early adopters. Poor showing.

Loved Dead Rising 3 and Forza 5 but they've released no new games since launch. Yeah that sucks for early adopters. Poor showing. I went on Amazon live chat and they've just given me a refund of £30.
