No idea mate, but it's free and it doesn't exactly take long to put the code in so you might as well. Now I need to figure out if I can change the order my games are downloaded, want FIFA first but I changed to wireless and it stopped and went to the end again.

EDIT: Figured it out, I'm a bit slow and didn't think about pressing the menu button.

You can start playin Fifa at 25% :-)

Just in case anyone who got FIFA edition doesn't know, there are two codes on it, one for the game and one for the pack, when I scanned it it only said game so I manually entered the code for the pack and it worked, not sure if you need to do that but they don't usually work a 2nd time so I'm thinking scanning the code only downloads the game. I might be wrong but it's better to be safe and enter it anyway.

Yeah same for the Forza day one edition. The QR code scan enters the full game code but it doesn't enter the Day one content code which I had to enter manually.

Btw, delighted a lot of you guys are receiving your Xbox, I felt your pain

Well the code entered and downloaded but I never checked in game to see if it was there.

Anyone one with Amazon still have the status set at Preparing to Dispatch ???

It's been sat on that for nearly 2 days now, hoping it's just due to volume of orders

Have you used Amazon Chat to see what the problem is?

I made my order from Amazon.it last Sunday and it dispatched for delivery on Friday.

Lads, what are the options regarding getting an Xbox One and what sort of time scale am I looking at? I've asked a few people but can't seem to get a proper, definitive answer anywhere. Most have told me to probably forget about it until January though.

Cheers.

Pre order with GameStop and you'll likely get one pre Christmas.

Anyone get their console from Gamestop in Tallaght?
How did it go?
Were they quick getting people in and out?

Heading up there myself on thursday midnight.

Anyone insterested in this whole XV thing - The Gaming Liberty are going to be on Matt Coopers The Last Word talking about it in a few minutes.

irishchris

Poor from xtravision! Delighted they are getting terrible pr out of this. And now they are saying they won't force people buying the ps4 into buying an extra game for that launch. Looks like lessons learned

Axwell

So apparently they are after giving Matt Cooper a one liner statement today saying they arent going to be doing the same on Friday for the PS4 launch.

I am indeed, very impressive machine that will only get better.

I was very nervous last week about whether I would get my delivery on friday, but they delivered as promised:-)

P.s. Was dispatched on Thursday evening via UPS. The delivery goes through Germany from east midlands airport in England for some reason.
Arrival to your home depends on where you live, my UPS guy seems to cover my house at the same time each day, as this wasn`t the only delivery i`ve received from UPS at that time this year. A friend of mine in Carlow got his at 10.30 am (I live in Dublin 15)

Zico-PES

Still haven't got mine, it was supposed to arrive Friday but the trailer was late. Then today there was no sign of it, rang UPS who said there were no contact info on the address MS provided them so they brought it back to the warehouse! I checked my order and all my contact info was there.

Maybe my day 5 Xbox will arrive tomorrow

Well the massive banner on their website says pre-order now and receive in time for Christmas so I'd say chances are good

My friend only pre-ordered his in Xtravision last week and he's getting his the 12th or so.
