Bit odd that TBH. I use my PS3 for Blu Rays a lot and also 3D. If I got either new console I would need to keep my PS3 so I could continue to watch my full movie collection.

I know there will probably be updates to rectify ths but why they can't do 3D from launch is a bit strange.
... Especially as the Xbox One has been touted as the one box you need (hence the name) and MS specifically say it's an "all-in-one entertainment system".

Can't you just phone Game and pay using your credit or debit card assuming you have one? I would be in a blind panic if i was in this situation as i wouldn't want to miss out on a day one console with free game.

I am in blind panic. They are meant to be calling me today so i can make the payment on my card. They dont have a number to call as the numbers are just for product info and store info. I have tried before and no way to speak to anyone

Re: The Xbox One Thread

Early release PS4's are reporting issues already from Bricked machines to straight up dead consoles. If the Xbox is trouble free it could be Sony's turn to play like the early 360 did. Hope I haven't just jinxed it though.

Hopefully the X1 doesn't suffer like the PS4 has over the last few days.

It wouldn't surprise me if the PS4 has overheating problems in hotter climates too.

To be fair there's XB1 consoles in the wild and I'm yet to hear of a failure.
I wonder if there's gonna be any PS4 live streaming come tomorrow morning

I had an issues with the dev kit the other night while at lock in. I know its not retail hardware but still it was an issue. It wasnt major as the issue was just as i was about to start a race in Forza the game quit its self and a bit of debug stuff came up and a box to type etc, but all the guy did was just restart Forza and then it was fixed. I didnt see or hear of another issue after that

Well all the X1s are dev kits so hopefully it was just a beta version of the game.

Re: The Xbox One Thread

Ah I'm defining failure as a console that's broken rather than a crash. Crashes will occur on both consoles. Persistent crashes are an issue sure but right now I'd say the issue is consoles arriving DOA or bricking after an hour, which is the current issue with the early PS4's.

Crashing is just something that happens whenever. Happens on PC's too. Just one of those things. My old 360 hangs all the time. GTA V kills it.

I'll have my capture cards set up on both PC and console and we'll run a proper side by side.
I was thinking FIFA as the NG versions have no texture difference between PC/Console.
