I got Forza D1 from BB for the added perks, but I know I'll get tired of it quickly and would be a little upset if I were stuck with only that option.

I haven't had a racing game since the original XBOX, but this looked pretty sweet so I pulled the trigger.

I am going with Dead Rising 3. I am not a fan of driving games, but I am interested in trying out their drivatar thing.

I posted all the launch titles in another thread: Scroll to the bottom

ETA: I will probably pick up Watch Dogs as well

And I think I also read somewhere that you can have a sharing library or something where you can let 10 friends or so borrow your games from your library for a certain amount of time.


im really not sure how thats going to work, if you can let them use it from their xbl account on a different IP or ive also heard its 10 different IP's that you can long on to the cloud from your account or a sub account. Also say you lend a friend a game on your cloud and you both want to play it at the same time.

How great would it be if they had midnight launches on the One

I'm pretty sure that's their goal and they're looking to do that. As soon as it strikes midnight, you can download the game.
Never again will I have to wait in line at GameStop, pre-order anything or wait until a certain time that I can go get it. I can just sit at home, wait until midnight then download it.

I'm not exactly sure how it works either but what I'm thinking is they let 10 different gold accounts have access to it and they track the IP addresses.

Just not having to deal with a damn gamestop employee trying to convince me to preorder a bunch of games will be enough for me to buy digitally.

it could be awesome or awful, if you have multiple people trying to get to the same content at the same time. it could be sub accounts esp if you have multiple machines like some people do. I hate how they say we have this great idea with cloud but don't explain shite.

I thought I'd read somewhere Project Spark wasn't going to be ready for launch, but I probably confused it with something else. I'll defenitely be getting that as well.

Gotta get some stuff to hold me over till Halo.

Same here.

Employee-"Are you a power points member?"

Me- "No."

Employee-"Would you like to become one?"

Me-"No, thanks not today."

Employee-"It's free and you get all kinds of rewards and money off games."

Me-"No thanks. Not really looking for that."

Employee-"Only takes a few seconds to set up and all I need is your name and phone number"

Me-"WTF man? NO"

Employee-"Do you have any games you're looking for in the future?"

Me-"Well there is one but it's pretty far off."

Employee-"OMGZ YOU CAN PRE-ORDER NOW AND GET ALL THESE THINGS! BUY FROM ME!"

Me-"No I don't have the money right now"

Employee-"OH IT'S OK YOU CAN PUT DOWN $5 NOW AND COME PAY THE REST OFF LATER AT YOUR OWN PACE!"

Me-"No man just let me check out. I just want this one game and not your sales pitches."

Employee-"Ok. that will be $60 and an additional $30 fee for being a douchebag and not taking up any of these offers."



In short. I hope GameStop goes out of business because of this kind of crap.

Gamefly, preorder it, they ship it to me, I hit 'Keep Game for $49.99" after I get it, apply my 10% off and have BF4 brand new for $45.

mmmmmmmmm

then order online amazon will have it on your doorstep the day it comes out

gamestop serves its purpose, dont want to deal with them esp since you always buy new and never trade in then use other options, best buy,amazon, walmart etc.

MS is trying to cut all that out and force digital which well takes away the consumers choice which of course people like being able to have more that one outlet to obtain a service or good.

Why do all of the PS4 people assume that MS will be able to tell the likes of EA, Activision, Ubisfot, etc who can and can't retail their games even in digital format?

its really a giant unknown but it seems like its the direction they want to make.

I have no problem with them wanting to do this but trying to just about force and leave the customer with no other option makes me wonder what the hell is going on.

It doesn't seem like anything. All we know is they want to go all digital eventually and that's it.

It would go over about as well as a bull in a China shop with MS telling those large publishing companies "we will be the only retail outlet for YOUR product on our system"

Never happens IMO

What do you mean no other options? You can purchase Xbox One games from the same retailers that are selling PS4 products.

As long as you're getting the game, why does it matter? The people that are most important are getting the game. I don't see the need for a middle man like GameStop or Wal-Mart.
