ok, that usb way sounds absurdly stupid and difficult. i'll try the update on friday the normal way. if it's a PITA, I'll do it the other way.

wtf. Thanks MSFT for allowing me to get it earlier

So you can get a 3 year warranty from MS for $69.99 w/in 45 days of purchase: http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-o...epair/complete

I may do this just based on their track record of systems in the past.

those are awesome!

i guess it is in beta, and hard to find in the menus, so that is why people didn't know what was going on.

My order is preparing for shipment

you son of a bitch. i won't hear shit about mine until late tomorrow, since my city has a warehouse.

Looks like Friday for me after all.. Was kind of hoping it would arrive tomorrow.. It's coming from Richmond, VA..

I wont hear anything until late tom night. They have a facility less than an hour away ....

and he's now jumped the shark.

No movement at all with my stuff via Amazon. It all still shows Friday delivery though.

Ah ha! None for you!

Why do you even post?

Same here for me.

same here lol

I like when boogie (I can't believe I just called a grown man "boogie") calls himself a stand-up comedian. I'm sure he's hilarious with his GAF references and Xbone smackdowns.

The big news from this video is that Major Nelson owns a Wii U

That off-brand son of a bitch.

That seems really expensive to insure a $500 item for 3 years. I think the PS4 is $40 for comparable coverage.

What is it covered for without the warranty?

i assume it is 1 year like they usually are.

square trade's is $35 for 2 years, which is slightly cheaper if you prorate it for the years you are getting it, but then you aren't dealing a company who didn't make the machine.

That was a fantastic video. This is the Major that everyone fell in love with(?) all those years ago long before he was a corporate stooge. Just a normal guy talking shop. Fantastic bit of viral marketing too.

I haven't listened to his podcast in years, but back when he first started he used to talk about Nintendo and Sony games. He was just another gamer who happened to work at MS. He's long since turned into Xbox employee who happens to have a platform.

Lol. I think there's a warehouse like 70 miles from me in Ontario.

Ontario, CA. That's where my XO still is, and has been since Saturday. I have a strong feeling it's not going to be in my hands up here, north of the border, by Friday.
