All things Xbox One X

Nolimits

I'm guessing at this point that there will be no midnight launches for the one x in gamestop.

Kinda suits me to be honest, I hate going down for midnight launches but given the option I'll always go.

Have a project serpico on pre order from Amazon works out 430 euros. Not to bad.

But I am still on the wall about getting it.

I have a ps4 pro barely use the thing and I play on my switch 85% of the time now as the switch is like the perfect console.

My Xbox one s has been used for sky go and Netflix in the bedroom since I got it last year and the fact it's great for that I won't sell it.

But the 4k blu ray player in the one x and 4k games will give me a reason to buy the one x.

But I am in the Usa on to the end of the month so I won't get to play the one x to then .

I am really thinking to wait to the new year as I have loads of games to get in the next month and the fact with work and a girlfirend I don't have the time I used to for games anyone so I am going mad here on what to do ha.

There is a 4K Blueray player in the One S as well.

I'd keep the Scorpio pre order if you can afford it. If you have it still sealed I can't see you having much trouble selling it on if you change your mind.

My local GameStop said that aren’t doing it but might be wormer giving your local one a call and check, they did one 4 years ago for the Xbox one so it’s strage they arent this time

Usually the ones that do mid night launches these days are the ones on the street , any that are in shopping centers don't seem to bother due to the extra effort involved.

Right, I’ve packed up my Xbox one S. Heading into GameStop. I haven’t played a game on in since it first came out. I only use it for Netflix/watching the odd DVD.

Am I insane trading it it for the new one? Seeing as I don’t play games anymore & I don’t own a 4ktv?

Yea if your not going to play any games I don't see the point to be honest.

The S does 4K Netflix and has a 4K Blueray player.

Not having a 4K TV is no real reason not to upgrade....but never playing games would be a better indicator!

I never played my Xbox One S either, but that was mostly because I think it's a very underpowered console and that this generation is very disappointing overall.

I'm getting the OneX though and will be playing a lot more single player games on it rather than my PC (which will be more for multiplayer games now)

You'd be surprised at the amount of stupid decisions that are made in retail, by some bub with a shiny new suit in head office, without having any clue how it'll affect the store staff

Just had phone call from GS Galway saying that my Scorpio will be ready on tuesday.She also said when I bring my S for trade in to delete my account ,make sure its not my HOME CONSOLE anymore but not to format (factory settings) my xbox one s because they have to test it.Is there anything I have to do except delete my accounts from my S and change HOME CONSOLE on account?

This will give me anxiety for the rest of the day now if I don't get a call :P (though in Dublin not galway)

Question for you, was yours ordered online? If so, has your order changed from Confirmed to something else now?

Ah cool, I'm trading a 1TB on Monday against it hoping it'll take a 100 off anyway..

Dunno why I have this fear of my Gamestop not getting stock in

TerrorFirmer

I ordered mine from Currys in the UK, slightly worried that between shortages and it having to be sent from the UK to AddressPal then across here, it'll be almost December before I see it....

wexdevil

No call from gamestop here(ordered online and collect in store) Though to be fair I'm only after turning my phone back on* since I forgot to turn it on when I finished overtime(how i payed for the scorpio) yesterday.


Actually scratch that, payed off another €200 and they will definitely have the scorpio edition for me

pcadhain

My order from Gamestop online has been charged. It's an odd feeling to be so excited to play games I already have, just better looking and faster.

TitianGerm

I was onto Amazon because my Scorpio edition is still showing delivery between 9th and 11th November, apparently they still have not received stock yet

Impatiently waiting to hear something from Gamestop... There's no reason there should be any issue with my order but I'm too damn paranoid about it all going wrong...

You collecting from GS or having it delivered?

On my receipt from today it says 48hrs after release.

(but didn't they screw with people who had ordered the snes mini?)

Best to ring your local store and confirm for yourself

Addresspal is the slowest of the three companies and will charge you over size I think, the parcel wizard crowd are the fastest I’ve found over the years and I’m yet to be charged for an over size

Yeah, should've just booked it in Smyths. Off Tuesday and all and have COD:WW2 already sitting here.

Only got it from Currys because it came with free Halo 5, Quantum Break and Forza 7 for €500....suppose it's worth the wait.

I still use addresspal even if it is slow as there is a post office just up the road from me and the strange thing is I have to go behind the counter and process the parcel myself on the post office computer. She rings me up and tells me there is a parcel there for me.

Would any Gamestop in Dublin have a One X left, I'm going with the deal and trading 2 One S in. Don't want to be without a console for over 2 weeks.

Tbh I doubt it there seems to be limited stock at launch.

But I'm just basing this on what I heard. Nobody can really answer that so best turn up at a GameStop on launch day as soon as they open and hope for the best.

I was going to pre-order it tomorrow when I trade my consoles in with the bonus trade in value.

You get another 50% on top of that against the X

Lashes28

Anyone know how much they are trading the Xbox one in for??

Seems like a great deal!

Bit of an update in case it's useful to anyone...

Pre-ordered my Scorpio Edition in Gamestop in Clarehall, Dublin. Traded in a 1TB OG Xbox One (the matt black one) and got €120 for it PLUS the 50% trade in offer for the X which brought it to €180. Paid off the rest of my pre-order. Guy in the shop said they have their stock in and that calls to people with pre-orders should be happening tomorrow

I'm so tempted to go in tomorrow but the thought of not having a console until the 20 th or later, if there isn't enough supply, is putting me off.

I do but rarely play it, everything is on my Xbox. I'm liable to buy everything on ps4 all over again if I have to wait too long.

I had them on live chat the other night and they said it would be guaranteed delivery before Nov. 30 but not for launch day.

EDIT: Actually laziness got the better of me and rahter than wait for stock in GS or play lotto with Argos I pulled the trigger and let it come when it comes and the email receipt says :

Available: 06 November 2017
Delivery Method: Standard
