    Just got told by a rep on the MS live chat that they will be delivering until 10pm tonight, so maybe there is still a chance.

    Yeah, I've been in the house all day today not wanting to leave in case the UPS site was wrong and it arrived, I'm seriously bored right now too.

    The rep also told me to call them if it doesn't arrive after 10pm and they will escalate it and get on to UPS, so anyone who doesn't get it should do that.

    That's extortion?

    Sure.

    Its making people pay for something they didnt ask for with their preorder. Its also illegal and changing the terms of the original purchase. Stop trolling the forum with your non helpful posts.

    Nothing wrong with my logic.

    There is though. You shouldn't force people to buy stuff they didn't order, to get the thing they did.

    Do we reckon they'll be delivered tonight?

    Sounds to me like more claptrap from Microsoft Store (I'll take that back if it eventually does get delivered) living in Wexford, that's 2 hours away from Dublin on a good day!

    Anyone else had their's delivered?

    UPS tracking has deleted the date of 25/11/2013 End of Day.

    Waiting in all day has me feeling all Cabin Feverish!

    Be worth it if it arrives though!!! :)

    Just to anyone that has gotten their xbox one ? Is it worth it ? After reading the thread all day and with all the problems occurring I'm really considering cancelling my preorder ? What do you all think ?

    Mine works great, really liking FIFA, and that's from someone who last bought a FIFA game in the 90's.

    The kinect works superbly. I'm surprised at few times that I have to repeat myself.

    I'd recommend it. I'd also recommend waiting a year, buying it then and enjoying a years worth of games. That's advice that I always give out, but don't necessarily follow myself :)

    It's absolutely class. Very responsive, very quite, stays cool. Games look amazing, BF4 looks as good as BF3 did on very high settings on PC with the extra settings such as 64 players and extra vehicles. Voice commands work flawlessly. Very happy with it.

    Sure.

    If i had paid a month ago with Xtra Vision or HMV and went in to buy it today i would not have had the money as i don't get paid till next week.

    So they would have said no you can't get it.

    And yes you would have bought anyway but say XV charge €80 for a game and shop down the road is charging €60 which are you going to get?

    I'm delighted with it too, switching between everything is fluid and fast. Kinect is pretty damn cool and mowing down thousands of zombies with no slow down is deadly, i'm loving dead rising 3. Fifa is great too.

    Latest tweet from xbox support

    @XboxSupport2: Arg, that's is frustrating. I'm afraid we're going to have to ask for your patience on it though. It is super appreciated ^JN

    No Idea mate, I'd say there is still some hope for people in Dublin but no hope at all for people further out like myself.
