I'm taking off the 15th through the 24th. Mostly 'cause I have time I have to use or lose, largely 'cause my birthday's in the middle of that, but yeah, the Xbox One and PS4 (and my Wii U!) are definite considerations there.

re: Xbox One Pre-Release Thread: Upscaled to 1080p! (11/22/2013)
 

I'm off both launch days as well.

re: Xbox One Pre-Release Thread: Upscaled to 1080p! (11/22/2013)
 

Yeah, I took them to make sure I didn't lose any time as I can only roll over 40 hours to next year. :rock2:

re: Xbox One Pre-Release Thread: Upscaled to 1080p! (11/22/2013)
 

Same here

re: Xbox One Pre-Release Thread: Upscaled to 1080p! (11/22/2013)
 

Lol @ taking a vacation to play the new consoles. You guys must not be married or have kids or both.

re: Xbox One Pre-Release Thread: Upscaled to 1080p! (11/22/2013)
 

Your logic is completely backwards. Married people with kids can't take vacation from their families. They can, however, take vacation from work which will continue to pay them during their absence.

People without spouses and children would just play when they aren't working.

Dumb post was dumb.

re: Xbox One Pre-Release Thread: Upscaled to 1080p! (11/22/2013)
 

Yes, dumb indeed.

re: Xbox One Pre-Release Thread: Upscaled to 1080p! (11/22/2013)
 

I'm single and not taking the day off for the new consoles! Although if everyone else is...

re: Xbox One Pre-Release Thread: Upscaled to 1080p! (11/22/2013)
 

I have one of those job things that rewards employees with paid time off as a benefit. So I use said benefit however I see fit.

Got my time off for launch secured... Unemployment! :sad:

Yep. Married. Two daughters 7 and 14.

Unfortunately my wife works from home. ;)

re: Xbox One Pre-Release Thread: Upscaled to 1080p! (11/22/2013)
 

Actually I'm married and have two kids. And a month's worth of vacation days every year. So yeah, like others have said, benefit of having a good job.

re: Xbox One Pre-Release Thread: Upscaled to 1080p! (11/22/2013)
 

I'm married with zero kids. I'm taking a three-day weekend for both launches.

re: Xbox One Pre-Release Thread: Upscaled to 1080p! (11/22/2013)
 

Oh, and to update the thread with some news, the Turtle Beach XO Four and Seven headsets will not be released until Q1 2014 now:

Based upon that news, we won't see the Polk 4 Shot until a similar date either now.

re: Xbox One Pre-Release Thread: Upscaled to 1080p! (11/22/2013)
 

I'm married with 3 kids, but my wife doesn't work and my kids are age 4 and under. So if I took the day off, I would get paid, but I wouldn't have any time to play games. I have more free time when I'm at work than I do when I'm at home.

re: Xbox One Pre-Release Thread: Upscaled to 1080p! (11/22/2013)
 

That's obnoxious. Borderline tv pop up advertising obnoxious. The animation itself isn't bad, but animated achievements seem like they would be distracting.

re: Xbox One Pre-Release Thread: Upscaled to 1080p! (11/22/2013)
 

Lol of course you would hate an aspect of the X1 that actually looks pretty awesome. My only complaint is that it looks like it may be onscreen a bit longer than current notifications. Other than that, looks really good...especially the animation at the end when it disappears.

re: Xbox One Pre-Release Thread: Upscaled to 1080p! (11/22/2013)
 

Bad news if you're not into the stock headset:

re: Xbox One Pre-Release Thread: Upscaled to 1080p! (11/22/2013)
 

Let me hide my shocked reaction that you love it. Looks as egregious as:



How long before MS blesses us with animated popup ads(like Alice above) for Doritos and Mtn. Dew during games?

re: Xbox One Pre-Release Thread: Upscaled to 1080p! (11/22/2013)
 

I definitely do not "love" it but I'm not so amazingly biased to dismiss it as being horrific. Seriously, if your $400 indie game player trophy notifications looked as slick as this animation, you would bust a nut all over your monitor and chess (sorry chess)

:)

re: Xbox One Pre-Release Thread: Upscaled to 1080p! (11/22/2013)
 

"not so amazingly biased" rotfl best laugh of the day, thanks.

Reading comprehension, FTW? I said I liked the animation itself, but seems like overkill during a game. Is that not a valid stance to take?

How about selective reading? You just can't get it through your head that I love the xbox brand. I just agree with little MS has done in 2013 in regards to X1. The X180 more closely resembles the console I wanted but I still don't want/need Kinect and I'm tired of paying for ads. I've also stated I'm down for a slim, Halo edition or at a price drop in the future. But carry on with your labels, it's flattering you care so much. Would it help if I had an "I LOVE X1" avatar? :lol:

re: Xbox One Pre-Release Thread: Upscaled to 1080p! (11/22/2013)
 

It definitely does not need the last part of hold X for details crap...

re: Xbox One Pre-Release Thread: Upscaled to 1080p! (11/22/2013)
 

Definitely not. Just remove that part completely and add the cool animation to the text that displays before it.

re: Xbox One Pre-Release Thread: Upscaled to 1080p! (11/22/2013)
 

Agreed, the rest is fine and I like the animation. Definitely stays on screen for too long.
