5) sleep on the couch


Good day 1 for me.

I tried that with GTA V, didn;t work so well lol

 

[griff_dai]

I'm out on a all day session in Swansea on the 21st so will pick mine up on Friday take it home and play to the next Tuesday....can't wait

 

[Chief Legend]

Sit at work and hit refresh on the ups tracking.

that sounds like the same thing I'll be doing. I'm suppose to be taking that week off at work but now I think I'll probably cash out my vacation pay and just work the week. I'm still undecided

 

[Chief Legend]

has anyone preordered from the Microsoft online store?

 

[Ceger]

has anyone preordered from the Microsoft online store?

Yes, both X1s. It is default for choosing to purchase via X360 dash.

 

[Chief Legend]

Yeah I preordered 1 X1 and an extra controller so far from the MS store

Amazon will be delivering it Friday, so I'll have it after work.

Dilemma though: On that Saturday I have this alumni track thing at my college. It's basically an alumni track meet where all the old athletes can come and compete. It's fun and there will be a lot of people there I'd like to see but the timing is just terrible! What do I do?!

Do both? Run in the morning, game at night. I remember going to all these alumni parties when I was an undergrad where the alumni would bring in kegs and all that jazz for the undergrads. That was always fun. If I were you I'd play on Sunday during your hangover.

I'll skip the midnight launch and get a good sleep and it should be delivered to my door on the release day with a next day courier service.

Then I'll crack open the box and take in that nice new console smell. Set it up, download the update, download FIFA. Grab a coffee and spend most of the day playing games.

I would go to a midnight launch but there isn't any stores near enough for me to want to make that journey. I'll appreciate the extra sleep I get though.

Extra sleep is always a win!

I have both X1 and PS4 preordered through Amazon, so I too will be watching UPS (unless they use someone else) tracking info as if my life depended on it. I have some games preordered at Gamestop, maybe I'll try to rush over there as early as possible to pick them up before the systems are delivered. I'm kinda hoping it's like last gen, and a handful of games are quietly released the week before the system launches, so I"ll have them waiting at home, ready to pop them into the systems ASAP.

I'll likely have a new job by November though, which means there's a possibility I'll feel awkward taking 2 days off from a job I've only been at for a month or two. Hopefully it won't be awkward.

Don't worry you can pick up the games before the console. Most of the games release on Nov 12.

 

[Malo De La Pelicula]

I'll get it release day from Amazon.

I'll be at work.. my girl will probably tease me with pictures of the box (maybe 2 boxes ) and I'll suddenly come down with a cold.

But fo real probably won't be able to mess with it until later that night and won't be able to really delve into it until the weekend.

I generally don't take days off work for that type of thing. Thanksgiving being the next week will give me plenty of time for deep diving into PS4/XBO since I have nothing resembling a family to visit, lol.

"I'll suddenly come down with a cold." LOL NICE!!!! I have my Ps4 coming through Amazon because Amazon always make sure my day on is here on day one. Got my GTA at 11:00am Sept 17. Gotta love amazon!!

 

[Malo De La Pelicula]

I assume it will be delivered on the 22nd but I won't be getting any games initially so I will set it up, download the update and go back to playing the PS4/PS3/360 until I decide on which games to buy.

In regards to the games, I will wait for reviews and or the general consensus between gamers on any particular game before deciding what to buy. I'm only buying FIFA 14 with the PS4 other then that I will be doing the same in regards to games.

Nice! I went to Gamestop to switch some of my games to my Ps4. Going all physical for launch but digital for every game after (unless there is a cool special edition of something). So for Ps4 launch i'll have NBA 2k14, Watch Dogs and ACIV plus all of the free games. The XB1 launch I will have NBA Live 14, Ryse, Forza 5, COD, BF4, DR3 and killer instinct!!!

Nice I got a extra controller to because I am pretty sure like last gen launch the controllers will be very skeet til around black friday.

 

[Malo De La Pelicula]

Day one plans for my PS4 will be just me refreshing tracking making sure I get mine!!!

Day one for the Xb1 I will pick up my consoles and the accessories from Gamestop, go get part favors and food to get ready for the day me and my crew been waiting on!! Xb1 next gen baby!!!

I need to change my plans for day one to visiting your place!

 

[Tentonhammer]

Hope wife is home when UPS attempts delivery (else I'll have to chase down the package). Can't take that day off unfortunately (already taking Weds before TG off).

Launch Games:

• Ryse
• COD:G
• Dead Rising 3
• KI ($20 package)
• BF4 (maybe)

Hook it up Friday night and play most of the weekend.

 

[Ape Still Rules]

Will be working the Midnight as GS. Afterwards I'll go home, pop open a beer someone has heard of (shout out to all you so called microbrew snobs) and play Ryse before I hit the hay for a satisfying slumber.

 

[jond76]

Its gonna be a fun weekend! I realized that the mud run I'm doing is the 23rd, so its looking to be jammed packed weekend with the One and some mud. (my regular days off are mon/tues, so its a 4-day weekend for me!)

 

[Quixter]

Already took the day off. Will be home waiting on the delivery and likely still trying to decide which game to download first.

If it's anything like the Tough Mudder I did this summer, you will not want to move at all the next few days. So this will actually work out quite nicely!

Tough Mudder was the first one I ever did, and I've been hooked ever since. I try to to 2 or 3 a year if I can get on early (read:cheap) enough

That's wassp!!! BEER AND PIZZA FOR ALL!!

 

[Malo De La Pelicula]

Well then, the HDMI out will be pretty much a useless feature for me...unless I can use it with my PS4.

Edit: Looks like it has DirecTV at the time this video was made:

BTW yes you can use the HDMI with the Ps4 I plan on using a slpitter and doing my cable, and my ps4 through my xbox one!

 

[Nby]

Ill do midnight release and I took Friday/Monday off. I assume most of my night will be spent trying to hook up the 360 and x1 and probably playing gta online lol

 

[Z A C K]

Lately I've been thinking I may call in sick that Friday. Not so much that I can turn on my X1 as soon as it gets there, I just don't know how I feel about letting Amazon leave it outside my door in my apartment complex that day. People will know the console is releasing that day, so could be people out looking for X1 shaped boxes...

 

[Nby]

Oh they will be

Wait! Its a common practice for the package to be left at the door, when there is no one to collect where you live?
Where I live, either they will make a call to you, pass to your neighbour(but normally if you indicated this in the delivery service), or the likely case of leaving the package at a nearby pick up shop, like a petrol station, & drop the collection receipt in your mailbox.

When I buy from Amazon, I normally just indicate that they send my package to a pick up shop near my place. I will recieve either a mail, or message when the package have arrived & I can pick it up. As long as I collect within 2 weeks or so, its ok. I just need to show my ID on collection.
