Deerfoot FS and BB also has a ton of Xbone's available. Very large stack of Day One Editions along with the crappy green ones.

This thread has lost a bit of it's luster now that robaur isn't posting every 5 minutes panicking about his order.

Here is Gametrailers take on Forza. I'm sad they stripped out tracks, features and weather. But the in-game currency BS blows donkey balls.

I really don't want to see that kinda of crap. Especially in a $60 game.

But now you can't sell your "Day One" achievement QR code. Decent amount of money too, some sold for $50-$70!

My Xbox One made it today from Minneapolis to Sioux Falls to Calgary where it hit inclement weather and was delayed enough on its way to Edmonton to not arrive until Monday.

Yeah, kinda bummed out about it but the wife is happy because of the work that I have been "assigned" and will now be able to complete instead of playing Xbox One. Still have my 360 though!

Good luck to the gamers playing Xbox or PS4 this weekend!

Despite getting pretty average reviews, I have really been enjoying Ryse. Feels like you are Ina. Cross between gladiator and 300.

Killer Instict looks amazing, but didn't have a chance to play much. Bought the 20 buck version to get all the characters. Pulled off an ultra combo, left satisfied.

Also put in Mario 3D world...game actually looks really great. Did not look out of place next to PS4 and Xbone. Had a lot of fun.

Love that the new generation is here.

I would really like to see a remake of the best Call of Duty game, World At War, for the next generation gaming systems.

That World of War game was awesome, significantly less spammy and of course had the more impressive backdrop of the second world war.


great sound design.

The biggest problem with COD is the huge catalog of amazing maps that will never be played again because they are in old versions.

They should have a bracket and find the 10-20 best maps of all time and redo them into a map pack. I'd pay serious money for those amazing old maps instead of this tripe they have to come up with now.

Fata I know but I will keep bitching until they listen.

Found this link and some of these maps are bringing back some sweet memories - especially Crash, Crossfire and Overgrown!!

Not sure how I feel about WaW as a game in and of itself, but I agree with the general sentiment of longing for the WW2 theme. With modern specs, it would be awesome to see developers go back and try to tackle WW2 material again (particularly a remade Battlefield 1942).

WaW's campaign made me mad on the higher difficulties. In the words of a friend of mine: "if they'd actually thrown that many grenades at us in WW2, we'd all be speaking German right now." I had all kinds of fun in its multiplayer though. Oddly, it's the only CoD game I've ever sunk multiplayer time in to.

Apparently PS4's are coming back quite a bit, so it may be a while for an order to come back in. This is from a Best Buy manager I was talking to, so take it as a grain of salt in an orange Julius.

Apparently here are the crazy scale of "micro" transactions in dollars. Freemium paywalls/pricing model on top of a $60 game with 2D crowds, joy.

Looks like one of the high end cars will run you about $120+ or roughly 1200 races. I don't mind normal DLC but I can do without this business model.

Are the prices in Forza 5 coming up in English Pounds for anyone? I don't know how to change the prices into Canadian currency. All my location settings look to be okay.

What about your location settings on XBL account you're using?

Yeah, I guess so.

People went nuts over the Real Racing 3 total IAP cost of half a grand. This Forza has a total of about $2000. Or more than $3000 depending upon "how bad you are at math". I'd imagine we'll be paying for Master Chief's armor or voice as DLC in the next Halo.

The location settings are set to Canada. It looks like this is actually a bug:
