I finally got my shipment notification. Coming in on Thursday. I can certainly wait.

Have fun everyone going to the midnight launch!

Someone pulled the trigger on my 2tb S on Amazon for $258, not bad. Makes the upgrade not so bad at all. Also sold super bomberman for $33.

Ordered online from Gamestop, decided I couldn't wait, so I went and called 8 stores and finally found one with a project Scorpio edition, went and paid for it, now I pick up at 11pm, will return the mail order tomorrow, and I took off work tomorrow... good times:)

Yea, it's tempting to run over to Best buy and Walmart tonight just to see if I could grab one earlier. Haha

Went to Game stop to pay off my pre prior to midnight launch and 30 people already came in to pay off. Manager said he anticipates 60 people pick up systems tonight if not more. This same game stop had 20 ps4 for launch, 15 Xbox One and 14 Pros for its launch. He said the 60 is what he anticipates coming in tonight and a lot tomorrow. That is nuts.

So Stallion83 was showing that games loaded faster from his internal X harddrive than an external one. Now I'm kinda worried. Will have to test Witcher 3 on both internal and external

Apologies in advance if this is the wrong place to post this. Some Wolfenstein 2 specific questions:

(1) Have we received any specific information on its X patch, beyond Dark1x's comment generally praising its implementation?
(2) Given his comment, I want to get the game for X. However, I just received a physical copy for my PS4 Pro via an Amazon preorder through Prime. Does anyone have enough experience with Amazon to say if they would let me return the physical PS4 copy in exchange for a digital code for Xbox? Never really dealt with Amazon customer service, but I have heard of many good experiences.

Thanks for any information y'all might have.

Yeah, your not going to see much throughput out of a 5400 drive. Would be a better test with a 7200 or better yet, SSD drive

sucks because i bought a 4TB a couple of weeks ago to prep for launch but it now appears i chose poorly.

if anyone is reading this, avoid the seagates. I got an email from their offices explaining they dont measure performance my rpm anymore and that any number of seagate expansion harddrives you find in stores have their harddrives randomly picked from their warehouse before getting enclosed in a case and shipped to retail. So one hdd can run 7200 and another, like mine, may read 5900 or even 5400.

First post on Resetera, got my X. Funny thing is I'll be playing Frozen Wilds since my faulty internet will take 10 years to download the patches for AC:O and Forza.

I've had nothing but good things when returning items to Amazon. Simple as going to your orders screen and clicking on return Item. Then print out the UPS info and ship it back.

Cancelled my BestBuy order. Fuck them.

I guess I'll have to find one local now. I'm done with BestBuy for the foreseeable future.

Sounds good.

I'm just particularly curious if they would give me a digital code before they received the physical copy (perhaps unlikely). And I'm unsure how my reception of a digital code for The Freedom Chronicles complicates things.

I guess I should just talk to Amazon at this point, lol.

You can order the digital copy ... just keep in mind that Amazon won't credit your card until they receive the return.

AC:O looks absolutely crazy.
Super excited for this. Played it yesterday on OG XB1 and legit could have passed it for a 360 game... and no that's not me being hyperbolic unfortunately. Have heard it's almost like a "generational bump" on XB1X compared to regular.

Ordered from Gamestop, too. Mine looks to be delivering tomorrow as well, and that's after having been shipped across the country this morning. Good stuff. Earlier Gamestop sent me an email saying delivery by Wednesday.

Mines always said Tuesday but when saw it was in Kentucky this morning was worried. Must have gone on a plane because two hours later it was in Connecticut haha. Hoping UPS delivers it around lunch time

Looks comparable to playing it maxed out on a PC but at 30fps.

So there was some discussion where I think Phil had said there is still some unknown feature (related to BC?) that people don't know about yet. Do we know what that is now or is it still a mystery?

Which game is considered to be the most impressive visually? I'm going to pick up one more title and want the biggest bang for my buck after dropping $550 on this damn thing. I'm personally very interested in Wolfenstein, but also am curious about Origins.

Tried asking in the other thread, maybe someone here has some insight:

I have an order from GameStop.com shipping to my home.

Can I take it into the store along with my current console to take advantage of the trade in promo or am I out of luck?

Forza 7 should be the most visually impressive but AC: Origins, Gears 4 enhanced and Wolfenstein II are all stunning games.

I still haven't gotten a real tracking number from GameStop saying my x has shipped. I'm going to be really disappointed and upset if I don't receive my system tomorrow...

I'd love to know more about this, too. I thought I read the $150 deal for 1TB XB1 S started today, but Gamestop's website lists a lower amount. Anyone know if it's begun, and how long it will last?

Out of all my games, the one i want to play most is Forza 7 and it wont boot. Just keeps saying taking to long to start. I have now deleted the game and re installing. This better work.

A hard reset of the console usually fixes that instead of deleting the game :s

Anyone's gamestop online order see any movement besides a label and tracking generated? Seems odd that they'd try to push so many consoles overnight/same day. Why not start rolling them out already?

Nope. I'm pissed. First time I've bought anything from GameStop in like 3 years. Got a BS tracking number last Thursday, but the only thing they've done is created the label and not sent my system to UPS...
