    Funny you say that because I went into Smyths Cork today and moved my preorder to the Forza edition with no problems, guy couldn't have been more helpful. The process is a bit awkward in that I had to cancel my original pre-order but he showed me the email Smyths had sent to their staff saying people who want to change will pretty much keep their place in the queue.

    Amazon have three consoles advertised Day One Forza, Day One Fifa and standard edition so I don't think thats right plus one of the day one bonuses is three cars for Forza!

    That's correct, what I mean is there are still standard editions left and the standard includes Forza. Just hard to define which edition is which with all the different bleeding titles Microsoft keep coming out with!

    You'll get whatever you pre book at launch, I know it is easy to think at the moment that there's no shortage of Xbox Ones but it's a long way from here to November.

    I wouldn't suggest anyone be under the impression they'll be able to swap their Fifa edition for a Forza one on the day, there's a very high likelihood all launch day stock will be booked out

    Just Pre booked an xbox one today in gamestop, going to trade in my 360 slim 250gig console off it next week to get 140 off the total cost of the xbox one.

    Its not a day one release with Fifa though, seems to be confusion amungst staff about if I'll get it on day one too.

    Is there any where else I can prebook a day one with fifa included??
    My understanding is the day one editions come with either Fifa or Forza, standard edition has no games, is that right?

    The "Day One Edition" comes with Fifa. The Standard Edition, which you should still be able to book for launch day, comes with Forza

    Any idea if those of us with the day one edition already pre-ordered can swap fifa to forza while still keeping it a day one edition console?

    So day one consoles with Fifa sold out in Smyths and GameStop, I must give HMV a shout, their Henry street shop might have sold out by now. Does anyone know?

    But their Liffey Valley shop is opening sometime this week. I must pop in....

    Can anyone think of anywhere else I might be able to pre order a day one console with Fifa?

    This is the thing, I feel like cancelling my pre order, I won't be finished GTA V by November, currently hacking through darksiders 2, I don't think i'm finished with the xbox for another while.
    If I got the xbox one from Santa I think it would be time enough.
