    Has the main event started yet or is this it?

    Recore definitive edition. Really?

    Jurrasic park game looks like it could be fun

    This is it. Gamescom has never been a massive conference, just more updates and reveals of games that couldn't make E3

    Kinda embarrassing that Mixer can't handle even 10000 people looking at a stream.

    Being able to transfer games from the xb1 to scorpio over the network is a very nice feature!

    It's been fine for me, too bad that the conference itself is so bad.

    'vell vot can we play zis holiday on our xbox?'

    'uh, zoo tycoon, an Xbox one launch title from 4 years ago. Enhanced in 4K of course'

    Don't know why people were expecting E3.5

    Not trying to be contentious, but the bright mode in the xbox dashboard is my favourite announcement so far (maybe because everything else leaked). I have an OLED that tends to suffer slight screen burn thats only visible on the specific shade of grey on the current dashboard.

    Design Lab finally available in Ireland!

    I love the look of the white guide, but not the white home screen. Hopefully they can be set separately.

    Oh they need to bring custom start up sounds for all !!!!! I'd go with Borderlands Steve, "Hey, Yoooooooooooo!!!!!!"


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,798 ✭✭✭MiskyBoyy


    That Minecraft edition XB1, particularly the transparent back with the redstone is insanely cool!

    Do they not take payment straight away though?

    What's the story with payment with pre-orders from Smyths?
    Do they take a deposit or full payment up front if you pre-order online?


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,458 ✭✭✭marcbrophy


    Pre-ordered the scorpio edition at Smyths :D

    No idea mate.....if they don't take payment right away, I would imagine they place a hold on that amount to verify ahead of time. Maybe someone else can clarify.
    Not bothered myself, but it's been up there the last couple hours.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,458 ✭✭✭marcbrophy


    Smyths charge you when you pick up the item in store.
    If it's a delivery, they charge you before dispatch!

    Ah didn't see it on the website. They charging €500 as well? I went with Amazon because you won't have any problems if there's any problems.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 10,331 Mod ✭✭✭✭CatInABox


    Went with Amazon myself, I guess we'll all be rocking the Scorpio model.


  • Registered Users Posts: 981 ✭✭✭wexdevil


    Yeah €499.99

    We'd all be better waiting until after Christmas when some good deals pop up but let's be honest most of us just like new gaming stuff :D
