The one on University. They were just sitting on the floor. Initially I thought they were display boxes.

Traffic on University sucks and is only going to get worse once the mall is completed.

Yes, it is going to be awful. They need to do something fast. But knowing the area we live in, that's not going to happen.

This. I cannot express in words how pissed I am about that stupid mall. Cos yeah, we need more traffic out there, and more drivers not paying attention. It's already torture sometimes, when you get a dumbass in front of you who doesn't understand the traffic circles.

The old people have no idea how to drive in a traffic circle. I've almost been hit nearly every time I shop there thanks to some geriatric who shouldn't be driving. It is still better to shop at that Best Buy than the Bradentucky one though. Too much white trash for me.

I wonder if there will be a notable bump in Xbone sales when Titanfall releases.

I'm certain of it. The number of times I've read people say they were holding out for TITANFALL is huge. Every gaming site I visit, it's the same story.

Last three nights I've had a great time gaming. On my 360.

It's like going to a fancy restaurant for dinner and eating potato chips.

Yeah, I remarked in a thread the other day that mysteriously, my 360 still works, the games still play as well as ever and I still had a good time...

 

...and then I had to open it up and clean everything out the very next night...wasn't reading...

...thank God for you tube and 12 year old xbox techs...1

My wife got me an xbone for christmas. I set it up tonight. No  Surprise that  the  disc drive wouldn't even accept a disc.Nothing happens when you put the disc (I tried a movie also) in the slot. I called support and they said"Yep its defective" they gave me several options .Their first suggestion was return it to the retailer for the quickest resolve. Its going back to Best Buy in the morning. I think I will just stick with my PS4.

That's odd, I haven't heard of that issue.  Only the drives that make crazy noises when you put the disc in (and then don't read).

So here is the update:

 

I go to best buy this morning and they exchange the defective xbox. I get home and go through the entire set procedure again. I stick in Forza and wow it actually takes the disc....now were in business. 20 minutes into the game play I notice a message that the kinect is unplugged.Huh? So I check the connection. Unplug and replugged the device.Nothing. Go online and check trouble shooting at xbox .com. Follow all the suggested procedures.....nothing.Contact support.They have me go through all the trouble shooting AGAIN. Nothing. They tell me that it confirms the kinect is defective.So now I have a replacement kinect on its way(3-5 days) Another quality microsoft gaming system. 

Really two defective xboxes in 12 hours. Wow. Good thing I have my PS4.

It look like are our current launch loser leader.  Last 360 lauch, I think I was the winner with 6 xbox360s in the first year. If you call them back up, and express your dissatisfaction; I'm pretty sure they will compensate you.

This is where I'm at.

BTW Best buy yesterday had a stack of them out in the aisle. I don't think there's any shortage at the moment.

This isn't called the happy excited topic for nothing. Both consoles are doing famously well right now. New shipments of stock just arrived at many stores. If you don't doddle, you'll probably get one before the day is out. I'm still waiting for a small discount on something or other. Microsoft has some bundles that save up to $69 but they include too many games I don't want and a year of Gold that goes on sale regularly anyway.

Got my Xbone last night. Liking it so far. So far I've played Ryse (Which took forever to install before I could play) Assassins Creed IV, and Battlefield 4. The graphics in Assassins Creed and BF4 were just awesome! Been playing around with the voice commands and it works pretty decently. Would rather have a button like the PS4 for recording game play though.

but..... it's always recording.  Why would you want to press a button to record?  Seems like an extra step ;)  Sharing seems clunky with PS4 if you only want a bit - my friend shared some stuff on day one from PS4 and it shared a whole 15 minute clip on Facebook (in terrible quality).  Very odd functionality.

Personally I like that you can just say "record that" and get a 30 second clip of the last stuff you did.  really easy to share and Skydrive makes it so you can grab the video and do whatever you like with it, rather than only post to Facebook.

You can edit and trim it, he probably just wasn't sure how to use it... it's not that hard.

Sure, but the Share button can also be used to share something directly - however, it doesn't work since it's 15 minutes.  So you'd have to edit anything you didn't want to be that long.
