    If Gamestop have stock on the 12th of December and you pre-ordered by express delivery when can you expect delivery?

    Same day? Day after?

    Cheers.

    It's there for me too, have deleted a few apps that I downloaded from other regions just to see if they worked.

    The voice controls on FIFA are handy but I can never get it to understand when I try to substitute Kovacic, it keeps thinking I said Juan Jesus for some reason.

    About time Kotaku had a semi-positive article about the XB1. Lately they've been acting like and posting like a little bunch of PS Fanboy Groupies with their articles poking holes in the XB1 and ranting and raving how superior the other console might be etc. Some of their so called jokes and jibes aimed at the XB1 lately have been seriously childish to say the least.

    Anyway, it's about time and nice to see they've found their adulthood once more and actually posted a mature article for a change! ;)

    Good luck enforcing that with the Irish.

    Polygon posting sensational stuff without trying to collaborate it first, and from MS' quick response they could have waited. It's just more click bait.

    They are funny error messages, as far as error messages go, though. No error message is funny when you get one yourself, of course.

    I think it's funny, more so because of the terrible grammar that is not often seen in error messages.


    I laughed myself, but like you said it's only funny when the error doesn't affect you.

    Something went terribly wrong. Please come back later.

    I'm to understand that the kinect has a red light on the front of it. I'm kinda surprised the cat doesn't want to 'play' with it.

    Was watching a video of someone complaining about touch sensitive buttons, it was either the PS3 fat or it could have been the slim 360 (does that have them) and he said that the cats kept turning off the console.

    what are you on about?
    Me? Well... Kotaku's constant childish pokes at the XB1.

    Go through their recent articles via their Facebook page here - https://www.facebook.com/kotaku and you'll see what I'm on about.

    I'm not in the slightest an Xbox fanboy and I like both XB and PS consoles to be honest.. but the way they report on the XboxOne in such a childish manner just gets on my nerves. They obviously prefer and favor the PS console and never really have anything bad to say about it and love making jibes at the XB1 and making fun of it etc.

    A site like Kotaku should know better, grow up and learn a thing from the likes of IGN, GameInformer etc. when it comes to reporting on console news. Right now though, they are acting like one sided PS fanboy childish groupies that are getting on my nerves! An established site like them should be respectful, constructive, informative and neutral when it comes to reporting their news. They used to have all that but it seems that's all been lost.

    I used to respect Kotaku but these days they are just becoming ridiculous.

    Belittling the console? lol... I know, it seemed stupid of me to post that last one but it's just an example of how Kotaku loves to ridicule the XB1.

    I really don't think that counts as ridicule.

    If you'd have been following their articles like I have you'd know where I was coming from. Agreed, that one link alone doesn't really count toward ridicule, but put a lot of their recent articles together and you'll find that it's just the latest in a long line.

    Xenji and Kotaku. Have you ever seen them in the same room together? :pac:
