The best streams are the ones when someone attempts a speedrun record. Those guys are crazy good!

Watching someone else play games is boring as hell. Only time I watch videos like that is for walkthroughs or tutorials.

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

It's a good reality check though. Because I now know how my wife feels when I'm like "DAMN WOMAN! You should really watch me play this!" and she's like "No, that's fucking boring you dipshit." then I says "I DO WHAT I WANT!"

Waiting for Friday.

I like how the controller feels.

FIFA 14 has a 25 character code, but no QR code... cancelling order now!

The controller has a 2 day Xbox Live code with instructions in English and French.

The game has a 3 day Xbox Live code with instructions in English and Spanish. Actually the whole game box is bilingual, English and Spanish.

None has a QR code.

That's be because Canadians/The French don't play soccer.

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

Only Americans play soccer. The rest of us play football.

Let me check the NHL game, oh wait...

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

Whooah, we're half way there...

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

Before you start shitting yourselves, just remember these don't count towards gamerscore. They're just challenges, nothing more.

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

:( I know. I would've bought that fo sho.

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

Yeah, no NHL makes me sad, but that means NHL '15 will be at least 1954p and 387fps, and also rated M!

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

OH MY GOD WHY WOULD ANYONE CARE ABOUT THIS I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT ACHIEVEMENTS BECAUSE THEY ARE SUCH A WASTE OF TIME AND I DON'T CARE ABOUT THEM SO NOBODY SHOULD CARE ABOUT THEM AND PEOPLE WHO DO ARE SOCIAL MISFITS WHO ARE WASTING THEIR LIVES AND CLEARLY HAVE A PSYCHOLOGICAL DISORDER AND THIS IS ALL TRUE BECAUSE I TYPED IT ON THE INTERNET.

There, I got all of that out of the way so we can move on to actual discussion.

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

I want that Hipster achievement. :lol:

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

Come watch my Twitch stream and you'll earn yourself that Hipster award.

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

8 consecutive twitch hours and the 1 minute every hour suck ass!

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

console review

well, at least one page. Here's a summary someone was able to grab:
PROS
Much better streamlined dashboard/UI
Great selection and variety of launch games
The controller is a lot better (THANK THE GAMING GODS FOR THAT NEW D-PAD!)
The Kinect 2.0's body capture technology comes vastly improved
Multitasking is a breeze thanks to the Snap feature
Online gaming is a much better experience with Smart Match
The apps all perform well
Watching TV on your Xbox One just feels right
Following your friends feels a lot easier to navigate than before
The addition of media achievements and challenges is awesome
CONS
The Kinect 2.0 voice recognition technology works...most of the time
The SmartGlass app doesn't have a lot of readily compatible games/movies...yet
Crimson Dragon and LocoCycle are letdowns

i got an email from Amazon a bit ago, telling me to confirm my address and payment details to ensure there are no issues. hurry up and send it to me!!!!

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

Yeah I got that email too. Scared me... I thought something was wrong.

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

Damn you guys! My Xbox is apparently still on a busy freeway in California. That, or they're just not updating my tracking to fuck with me.

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

Someone on Twitter said a Microsoft rep explained to them that some kind of fulfillment company is holding the consoles until Thursday and that's when they'll be given to UPS and the transit will really begin. This admittedly-unreliable account is actually 100% in-line with my tracking info. Basically Microsoft handed them off to the fulfillment company yesterday.
