To be fair, the launch line up has Halo and that's a different story. That wasn't the strategy, it was just timing and unfortunate.
I’ve just got the dispatch email and it’s updated to tomorrow before 10pm
Umm but this is all stuff you've known for months
Yeah, Microsoft went all-in on Halo being there, and it isn't like 343i had a lack of time to deliver either. I think they didn't expect the level of the negative reaction on the reveal this year and it set them back a bit.
The morning the Pre-orders went live. Supposedly Amazon have delayed Pre-order deliveries until Dec 31st in the US for some people, which must be infuriating.
Cheers damo. I ordered as soon as I could on the 22nd sept. Just got the dispatch email now and it should be here tomorrow. Joke from a company like Amazon. It’s surely one of the things they’d put the effort into smashing.
I don't think this is anywhere near on the horizon, as the amount of places that would have internet good enough to support this would be outnumbered by the amount of places that don't. It would be a lot of money lost out on moving towards this model.
Definitely. They hyped it up a lot so it was clearly a surprise to them.
How's the gaming experience been so far?
Yeah. I was really surprised about there being no Forza, but makes sense that they thought Halo was pretty much ready.
Yeah. Microsoft are trying to get a headstart on it but realistically most countries are another 2 or 3 generations away from having the necessary infrastructure.
Likely going to be worse with the sheer amount of them compared to Xboxes. Can only hope they've learned from today.The morning the Pre-orders went live. Supposedly Amazon have delayed Pre-order deliveries until Dec 31st in the US for some people, which must be infuriating.
I’ve got my PS5 Pre-order with them too
Unfortunately it seems like they're just another parcel to them in the billions they move each day. If the PS5 launch ends up being just as much of a disaster, I'll shift to Very for the PS6. Had no complaints about the PS4 launch from them.
Yeah I think I'll be going with Very next time. The two things you can count on usually from Amazon are swift delivery and good customer service. Both have been very poor with this. Still can't believe the guy did this '
' when my £450 item was missing.Depends on game. Didn’t see any options for Valhalla as that’s 4K and 60fps already. For Yakuza there was normal mode which is 1440p/60fps or high fidelity which is 4k/30fps.
Is that option inside the game then? Guessing it is from what you've said.
Nice i'd kept checking for that. Cheers pal.
Where do we go to access that? I went to the store earlier and it wanted me to pay for all EA play titles
Yeah for Yakuza you have to choose in the menus. For AC it’s just default.
That’s ideal. Ta.
Just go in your library, there should be EA play below game pass.
Yeah, it's gutting when something you really want doesn't arrive but I don't believe they should treat the parcels with more preference. I have a £750 item arriving from them tomorrow and would not be pleased if it got halted "because Xbox". Just as gutted as the people in here who haven't got the consoles - ideally they would just be able to scale up and shift them all on time

Yep can see a lot of PS users also going down this route to get the best of both worlds .
Do you always post garbage? Been on it since 1pm. It’s been slow which is expected, but has not been down.
I know you’re upset because you’ve spent the day playing Tetris on your new console and posting on RedCafe but don’t get angry at me for posting facts.
What facts? You made the second most posts in this thread. Those are real facts.
I was the exact same. Checking gamepass most of the day!
I secured my order within minutes of them going live, so Amazon have no excuse really. Still not had any further update from them today. Might see if I can get a voucher out of them for the inconvenience.
I much prefer this to the Xbox One launch though. Which whilst having a better line up, you quickly ran out of stuff to play after swapping between the same 2-3 games and having no backwards compat to play.
Try Tetris Effect on GP. I'm loving it. It looks great, as well.
Then he changed his mind and told me it's out of stock. Then he left the chat mid-way through a conversation. Absolute clown. ridiculous for a company of their size.
