The Xbox One - Part 8

[Thundercrack85]

My policy is that I am waiting for most games.

I would like to pick up 5 "old" but good games for a 100 dollars. That's ambitious, but I think I can do it.

I am still thinking about doing the Target buy 2 get 1 free. Damn shame it's not the week GTA and Dragon Age come out.

People keep telling me Unity will be on sale for 35 on Black Friday, but I am skeptical.

I'm hoping some of the controllers go on sale. I need a good backup pad

this. I want a standard black pad and prefer it over the CoD controller.

so I'm hoping the controllers go on sale for like $30.

They are. I saw one ad, I forget for whom, but it was 40 dollars for PS4 and Xbox One controllers. Just the regular kind though.

For reasons i have never fully understood, controllers are the last thing to devalue.

you don't remember which ad??

$40 is the max I'd be willing to pay.

 

[Thundercrack85]

Meh. If you check deal websites often, you'll find they're on sale for that kind of price every other week. I got my extra PS4 controller for that.

If you want I'll PM you next time I see a good deal from a reputable buyer.

oh, really?? I'll be on the lookout, then.

but yeah, if you see anything from Best Buy or Gamestop, I'd appreciate that.

I want to shop at those stores cuz I still have giftcards there.

and if I see anything great, I'll pass it along to you, too.

 

[Iceman]

I could do with a 2nd pad too.

 

[Thundercrack85]

Gamestop has to be the most consumer unfriendly store in existence. I don't think they even do Black Friday. Maybe 5 dollars off a used PS4.

Best Buy will probably have some kind of deal come Black Friday.

GS will be running a few specials for BF. But they also don't have nearly the stock that a BB does though. BB can afford to slash its stock because its got a giant warehouse full of other stuff for sale thats not discounted on black friday, GS's stock, comparatively, is relatively small. But, unfortunately, GS will be holding some BF specials.

Oh lord, that thread.

I stand by my complaints. I mean, hell, at this point getting a game for 60 dollars is a bargain if it actually includes all the content, which is no longer a guarantee thanks to companies like Ubisoft and Activision.

Tomb Raider for 20 isn't bad. Though I am going to try my best to get it for as little as possible on Black Friday.

I'll be buying a few big titles before Black Friday, but that's definitely one title to wait to buy. Like Wolfenstein and Shadows of Mordor.

my bad i meant to say i do not think online only games should be $60

 

[Travesty]

Online only games definitely shouldn't be $60.

November update out now. Updating mine as I type.

great!! just in time for my X1's initial update!! t:

I must say.....for all the grief I gave the CoD console's design........it is pretty slick when you see it in person.

I love all the detail. especially the "battle worn" look.

like the Spartan helmet design. it's not a pristine paint job. you can see "scratches" and "chips" in the paint design. so it looks like it has seen its fair share of battles.

and the power on sound effect. so ******* cool!!

 

[X Knight]

so, I've got everything setup and the latest update installed ( I think ).

haven't downloaded anything yet, and it looks like my available storage is 780.8GB.

so, that's pretty close to 800GB and I'd say that's pretty good!!

so far, I'm finding the layout and settings fairly intuitive and easy to navigate. things seem to be fairly snappy and responsive, too.

oh, and the console is whisper quiet right now ( though I'm not running anything )!!

so, good first impressions!

 

[Thundercrack85]

Is it normal for the Xbox's right side to make a sort of low rattling noise?

 

[Thundercrack85]

Aaaand I have a defective Xbox. Three for three! Woo!

I mean, what are the ****ing odds? Seriously?

I might record this ****, just so people don't think I'm making it up.

say what??!!

 

[Thundercrack85]

It's not a horrible noise, but it's definitely defective.

It's almost identical to this.

Mine is slightly louder, but that may be the mic.

Well, I guess I will be paying Walmart a visit (where I got it).

 

[Thundercrack85]

I would liken the noise to a dying hard drive. It's coming from the right side.

hmmm........well, that sucks. I'd take it back then and get it exchanged.

you got the White bundle, right? hope you are able to exchange it for another White one.

I haven't heard that noise myself, and I'm hoping I don't, but I'll pay attention to it.

Nope.

The special sound effects start around the 3:55 mark

but sounds are much louder in person........lol

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Haha that's bad ass man

Yup, mine has the rattle/buzz noise, too. They're already sending me a replacement.
