I hope Tesco do something similar and i wish i knew which courier delivered Tesco direct orders.

I have just checked my Tesco order status and its status is 'sent for fulfilment', a quick google says says this 'This status means that the item is with the warehouse staff awaiting to be dispatched.' so hopefully they actually have the console now and just awaiting the official shipment date.

Tescos delivery date for my console shows Saturday 23rd, i was hoping i would get it on the 22nd, atleast i won't be working that day.

BF4 + BF3 betas where not in hd on 360 got confirmed on eurogamer i think, the actual game is hd. XB1 graphics look same as ps4 if not better so i'm not worried about all reports out there

Yes the textures look far better on the X1 version compared to the PS4 even though it is running at 720P.

Loads of info and screen captures of Xbox live from the guy who got his console early.

Looking at the neogaf thread seeing all the stuff that MS has gagged other websites from revealing now and that UI looks really great, even the gamer pics are not useless anymore.

Just checked my order with Game and still shows as unshipped. They say payment will be taken from 12th Nov up till dispatch date.

For anyone that has ordered form Game the courier will be DPD and will have a time slot assigned to it as well.

I messaged Tesco on FB and they didn't know who would deliver the X1 for them, so a little more Googling required for me.

If they really do deliver on the 23rd like the order says atleast i am at home all day.

I would assume it will be a 3rd party like DPD as i cant see it being there own drivers as they delivery food.

I went onto Game webchat and thats how i got the info from them

On a side notes, 11 days to go

SnoopZ · 11-11-2013, 10:59

Yes it won't be their own vans but i am surprised they can't tell me as they must know which couriers they use.

11 days to go! I am annoyed the internal HDD is not replaceable though given the size of the game installs we know about.

Well i nearly had a scare for launch day. Despite me changing my address online with Game (recently moved house) and my account not showing any trace of my old address that i could see, they were going to ship to my old address.

I had to use the webchat to sort it out. All they kept telling me to start of with was how to change my address. I did this as per the instructions and guess what even after doing that the shipping address would still default back to my old address. After a few mins the agent changed it for me and got rid of the old address form my account. I ave been online many times since to check the adress and now showing as my new address, finally,

I will be going back onto webchat tomorrow to make sure its still for my new address. I have even got a copy of the transcript incase things go wrong so i can have a massive go at them if things do go wrong. Why they cant just have a call centre like most places i never know.

I hope there is an xbox one avaiable in shops on 24...or i will need to wait to get it

SnoopZ · 11-11-2013, 13:33

I expect any xboxes in shops to sell extremely quickly, why didn't you preorder and get the free game?

not in country until then

I'm going digital for my games I've decided. Had my mums input on it as well, as it means that I won't need to store the boxes anywhere. Even if they are expensive at least I'll be able to make use of the instant switching feature

The only problem with that is the HDD is so small you will likely only get around 12 games on it at average 40-50gb install then you need room for demos.

External drives won't be supported at launch and you can't replace the internal HDD.

Tezcatlipoca · 11-11-2013, 19:23

... plus also you can't trade-in digital downloads...

SnoopZ · 11-11-2013, 19:30

Actually I have seen an install list online and top game install sizes vary from 20-40gbish but it is still a lot.
