    Anyone pre-ordered from Gamestop had their order change from Confirmed yet? Getting to that time where my anxiety kicks in and I expect Gamestop to not get stock or something...

    Yeah I'm in the same boat - I think I'd opt for the Switch though and then come back early next year for the X in a bundle

    Yeah, it's a tough one, a real chicken and egg moment. What to buy first, the console, or the TV that the console needs? I'm going with console first, hopefully the B7/C7 gets a good drop in price soon.

    The c6 is an amazing tv and has the best 3D in any format if you can still find one. Thanks for the Hitman recommendation btw. Turned it on as soon as you said you can throw pool balls at people and I'm in love with the game. HDR is fantastic. I can't wait to see more games with HDR.

    i've a new 4k projector planned for xmas so getting pretty excited about the reviews coming out, like the previous posters i have a scorpio booked, so will be using it for 1080p for a few weeks. if it is not there tuesday i'll probably wait and get a standard edition at xmas

    Theyll most likely dispatch Monday and deliver Tuesday. It's a shame the console launches on a Tuesday because they usually deliver everything I've ever got from them a day early.

    French website, but scroll down and there are some really good screenshots with sliders to let you see what you'll get when you use the one x with a 1080 tv.

    its quite startling how much it cleans up the image.

    No word on Smyths website about midnight launch yet, have a scorpio edition one x pre ordered, the excitement is building just like 2013. The 7th can't come soon enough.
    according to their twitter. They have no plan of doing a midnight launch!

    Blocked in work anyway, damn.

    Looked at it on my phone and seems like the improvements are pretty clear, didn't expect as much on 1080p displays

    Did they do anything to it, or nothing at all?

    Was gonna trade in pro and buy fifa, but it's probably only a couple of months away from being given away on Access anyway!

    Man, the differences in load times are something else.

    Digital Foundry backward compatibility test, with other stuff.

    An entire minute chopped off Witcher 3 load times, that's crazy.

    Hmm I wasn't particularly arsed but, much like when the One came out, the nearer it gets to launch the more I'm tempted. Faster load times alone would be almost worth it - GTA V is ridiculous as it is ffs. I think I'll hold off for a while though.

    I don't know why people kept insisting you'd need a 4K display to make the X worthwhile, truth be told most Xbox One games are sub 1080p and running at low-medium settings - the X brings them more in line with 1080p high-ultra.

    I think the problem is that people equate Xbox One/PS4 visual quality with 1080p image quality simply because they're 1080p consoles - but they are not powerful enough to remotely reach the potential of 1080p image quality.

    It is 100% worthwhile getting the X if you've a decent 1080p TV.

    It was a brilliant game. Not sure I'd play through it again but I played the game and all the DLC on the 360 and loved every second of it.

    I thought Noire was pretty weak by R* standards tbh. Impressive visuals for the day but the cases were unbelievably repetitive. I grinded it out but never again.

    I heard that they can't guarantee stock on launch day. I'd assume this is for people who didn't preorder it

    Anyone pre ordering now isn’t getting one until the 20th of November according to GameStop
    Pre orders in Smyths are apparently first come first served which sounds a bit crap to me

    That's absolutely diabolical, a bizarre way of doing it.
