Yeah, generally it would mean you would get it today. It's out for delivery in other words. For peace of mind you could ring the courier company and make sure they have your details/phone number so they know where to find you.

Its strange because the email I got the tracking number from said it was going to take between 1-3 working days. And I'm getting no answer from their depot, I know its lunch time so I might give it a few mins.

I'm very impatient in case that didnt come across..

EDIT : 30 mins!

Hi all,
Can people refrain from posting stock levels and offers for Xbox preorders here please. This thread is for discussion pertaining to the console.

Please use the "Beat the Scalpers thread" for such posts.

Thanks!

I think I might be having the same issues with my magnet PVR.

The HDMI stops working after a while. Sometimes I need to unplug it and plug it back again for it to work. I gave up in the end and connected back to my AVR as there is no real need for me to use the XBOX for video but is something I will look into when I get my PS4 (so I will have something to do while I get mine repaired if it is indeed broken).

Shouldn't take that long. Are you installing from disc or download?

Demo is 2.2gb, game is 8.8gb or so, so yeah probably lol. You must have a fairly slow connection then? You could get a loan of it from a friend who has it on disc if possible and install it from their disc.

(This isn't exclusively about you) No one can. It's an aspect of being drunk. It's sorta like this.

didn't they specifically say that you will be able to play games bought whereever, on your xbox. Was to do with not launching in a lot of countries - you could still import and buy as you wanted (this previously not being the case).

I recall them saying not to import in the context of those countries that don't have live will have a brick as they wouldn't be able to update their console. So, I don't think they'd have said anything about a justification to import.

Guy posts video that seemingly has the volume steadily decrease. Couldn't hear most of that.

Quick question, does anyone think the Xbox One would be ok vertically if I was going disc-less? The bluray drive is the only issue isnt it? As long as I dont block air vents it should be ok?

As far as I can see, yeah, it should be okay. The disc drive would be the only thing I'd imagine.

And when I do need to install a game I could just put it down for 30 mins or so while it installs, then put it back upright when the disc isnt in it? Perfect thanks!
