pssh I'm unemployed (thanks master's degree!) with massive student loan debt and not much cash saved up and I plan on getting it at launch. Priorities!
but seriously, it's always been a dream of mine to get a new conole at launch and I'm not missing this opportunity. I'll most likely have a crummy job by then making minimum wage so I can afford a slight expenditure.
I just quit mine a couple of weeks ago. I'm still getting it. When I find another job in letting them know from the start that I won't be in on Nov 21 or 22 depending on what shift I'll be working. Serious, it may sound childish, but employers like it when your honest. I've never lied about why I miss work. I always let my former employer know months ahead when I would miss for a game midnight sale. Its much better than coming up with the usual me or my kids are sick garbage excuse(only if your lying). They have always approved my days.
When I find a new job im not going to start off with a lie. I'm going to start off letting them know that games are my thing. I'll come in on every sporting event playoff or final, I'll work 3rd shift, I'll work circles around every employee you have. But these days I won't :bang:be in whether its ato or not.:p

Black Tusk Studios and Microsoft Research are pairing up on the former’s mysterious, unannounced game, as confirmed by Phil Spencer. The Microsoft Studios boss has also shed some light on what to expect over at Tokyo Games Show next week.
Responding to a fan on Twitter, Spencer shared some wafer-thin insight:

Steve Burnley@Steverulez @XboxP3 Will you be announcing anything new or showing off already announced games at TGS? How was Black Tusk game btw?

Phil Spencer@XboxP3
@Steverulez Collaboration between Black Tusk and MS Research is leading to very interesting gameplay mechanics. Gameplay is looking great.

Spencer also added that he’ll be meeting with Japanese developers while at TGS next week, and that D4 and Crimson Dragon will appear at the show. There is no Microsoft conference as such, but he added that there will be new playable content on the event floor.

Black Tusk's game just took on an intriguing turn of events.
 
My wife saw a video of last night Ryse and it didn't move her at all.:( But Project Spark and Forza 5 did, go figure. Now that she has something to play on it, my day one purchase is justified in our household.
 
I waited for 16 hours at Comp USA in 2006 for my 360. I've decided that I'm not doing that again. What a miserable experience.....

I guess I'm hoping to find one on the shelf. How f***ed am I?

Whoa, language.

Anyways, it sounds like MS is trying to make it so that people can get their hands on one in a reasonable time frame if they haven't preordered. We'll see how that works out though.

Good. I'm just going to take my chances of finding one the next day. I'm sure finding games won't be a problem.
 
Hey folks. Just joined. I've been a lurker over at teamxbox for a while and thought I would join here.

Could of just pre-ordered online and had it delivered

Yeah but I want my girl to drive me to the store so I can read the Xbox One box on the drive home.

I'm going to read all of the Xbox One features out loud to her while we drive home. I'm hoping she gets annoyed and goes to a friends house so I can have the TV to myself.

Good plan, my wife is looking forward to the Hunger Games movie that just happens to come out on the same day. Thank you X1 its giving me some no one in the house time.
 
I now have my one pre-ordered from asda (walmart). They cant tell me if I'm getting fifa or forza or nothing lol. I will be purchasing 2 games with it which are looking like bf4 and dr3.
 
Ack..who's plan was it to make guys choose between the X1 or Jennifer Lawrence....
No its great. Let her go out with her friends, you stay home with the console alone for a few hours. Shoot tell her she deserves a day. My wife is getting her nail,toes and hair done. Then going to watch the movie with her friends. She just doesn't know it yet. Its a surprise just because she deserves it lol. That will get her out of the house for all day.

I'm sure the shelves will be restocked before the Christmas rush. I think.
 
Just signed up last night and got approved today :)

I've got myself an Xbox One on order. I haven't ordered any games yet as I might get them digital depending on the prices. I'm looking to get DR3, Forza 5, BF4, and CoD: Ghosts at launch. (I'll have the free FIFA also)

Might get the new Madden. I didn't bother with it on 360 after playing the early release.
