    I used to have to grab everything "right now" but i simply have a lot less gaming time and don't get that same urge I used to.
    I can say that if it was 399.99 I'd probably have already had a pre-order done on day one..even though I don't want to support another system...
    Same here Sky. I am having a great time with the PS4 right now and have a ton of games to play on the PS4. (BF4, COD, Killzone, Madden, NBA 2k14, NFS Rivals).

    With xmas coming up and with being busy at work, I wont have time to play the xbox one and the PS4. I will get one eventually but not at launch. Im thinking some time next year maybe spring or summer. Need to save some money for xmas gifts for the wife and kids.

            Xbox One games are looking like a lackluster lot. Forza 5 doesn't even have as many tracks as Forza 4. What the heck is that about? I am guessing they will sell us the rest.

                So I have one pre-ordered from Target, and my brother has one from Amazon.

                Has anyone ever had any success with Target on these kinds of things? They're making it really difficult to track the package, and I'm starting to get a little worried. I was stupid and should have just switched my pre-order over to Amazon this morning when I had the chance.

                    I don't know I think the Xbox launch is actually pretty good. But with forza and it being a sim racer they have to get rights to all those cars and tracks. That cost money and with it being only on Xbox one it means smaller sale numbers. Which means less money and less money means less rights you can get for cars and tracks.

                    only problem I have with releasing a sim racer early. But the reviews have been great for it.

                      Ugh, they've added a F2P model to Forza, which is bullsh*t. The worst part about this is competitive online multiplayer where you have to grind for hours to get the car you want to have a chance or pay MS some money to unlock it.

                      There are no gift cars in career mode. Cars don't unlock when you level up. You have to grind (or pay real money) for in-game cash in order to buy all cars. Forza is literally charging you 60 bucks as an entrance fee and then going "Is ten hours of your life worth more to you than x bucks?" You want that shiny new Lotus F1 car that they added to the series? It'll cost you six million credits, which should only take about 54.5 hours to unlock if you're getting about 110k credits per hour on average.

                      So little is spread out so thin across a career that doesn't make much of an effort to engage. Forza Motorsport 5's lattice of events is unlocked from the off, with different categories spread out across a succession of long series of 10 races each. There's no thread to follow, though, and with just 14 locations to share amongst them all, repetition sets in fast. "Here we are again at the Circuit de Catalunya," says the droll American commentator before an event (Peter Egan's no more, I'm afraid), with a small hint of apology in her voice.

                      All that's left is the grind, and it's not a particularly pleasant one. Unlike previous outings, cars don't unlock upon levelling up. Everything must be bought in Forza Motorsport 5, and all transactions take place in a slightly misshapen economy. A series will, on average, net the player in excess of 110,000 credits for just under an hour's effort - but with some of the premium racecars costing well over a million, it's a somewhat brutal grind. Good job, then, that there are tokens purchasable on the Xbox One's marketplace for you to attain the car you're after, or to temporarily boost the rate at which you gain XP. When you've already paid £429.99 for a new console, £44.99 for the game and maybe even £349.99 for the only steering wheel that the game supports at launch, such tricks appear a little unsavoury, and in Forza 5, mechanics greedily smuggled from free-to-play games trample over the elegant RPG elements the series once embraced so effectively.
                      ...
                      With Forza Motorsport 5, Turn 10's created a driving experience both accessible and beautiful - but it's been stripped back to make Xbox One's launch, and augmented with a host of ugly extras that only serve Microsoft's bid to make a few dollars more.
                      Taking something beautiful and retooling it into something beastly is one of the consistent pleasures of the Forza seri…



                      It also looks like they've downgraded the quality of the visuals from the E3 build.

                          Wasn't snapping a Skype video call while watching TV or playing a game an advertised feature? A few of the reviews mentioned that this isn't possible. Why was it removed? It's probably something I would have used somewhat frequently.

                              I thought I saw a video on IGN or gamespot that showed skype while playing killer instinct?
