Reviews embargo lifts today and hardware on Tuesday midnight (ET). I am hyped as hell after playing Killer Instinct yesterday (I am not buying at launch).

I'm looking forward to reading about peoples' experiences. I hope there are no hardware problems.

 

Forza 5 looks sexy as fark. I seen a Big W catalogue today (An Australian Discount chain) which had the X1 in it. So tempting. But me no do early adoption no mo'.

I checked out the Polygon DR3 video review just now, they didn't say anything about poor performance or frame rate drops and so on.  Just that the controls could've been better.

It's Polygon, what did you expect?

The DF review in last week was apparently from a not-final build.

DR3 seems to be getting decent reviews. Most seem to think its a very fun experience overall thanks to the open world design. The biggest gripes seem to be lack of precision controls against tougher enemies like bosses, and lengthy load times after a death. Coop sounds great too.

I don't have this game on preorder since the whole zombie genre has gotten old to me, but it does look fun, so I could see myself getting it later when its cheaper or maybe as a free Games for Gold thing.

KI I will have day one and I can't wait. Glad to see its getting good reviews.

is battlefield worth getting? I'm new to it. I been playing COD for a few years

Have you played BF3? its alot like BF3 with a few cool features. Im a COD and BF player and I like it but im hoping i love it on the XB1. I still prefer COD though for the competitiveness of the game.

Nope I havent played a single one yet and I'm hoping the experience would be amazing for a new comer especially for nextgen

What may sound like a stupid question but... has anyone seen anything on whether the XB1 will play just your bog standard DVD? I would have normally thought this was pretty straight forward but with the PS4 not supporting CD's I don't want to to take anything for granted.

I'm interested to see the reviews for Ryse. It's the only exclusive that interests me, but the gameplay videos have been rather disappointing. I'm hoping the story is good, or the combat was tweaked to be better leading up to launch.
