Officially coming November 22. Just behind the PS4's US launch and right before the PS4's European launch.

Xbox One launch date: November 22 | Joystiq

Yeah I was just reading about this. A later launch than the PS4 and $100 more expensive. Trying to decide if it's worth it. Either of them are ideally placed for the holidays though!

Nooooo i preordered and wanted to experience the camp out for the midnight release but i leave that morning for vacation!!!!!!

 

[berty6294]

Wait so the midnight release is Thursday night/Friday morning?

You can purchase from 0000.01 Friday am

Well that's the Friday booked off and all plans for that weekend cancelled. Countdown is on 79 days...

I sense a 3 day weekend, followed by a 4 day weekend in my future

If you haven't decided already, you may be out luck... Can either system be preordered any more? I think the One's day One edition may still be available direct from MS store, but don't quote me on that.

IDK about the "other" system as I don't care to get get it.

4 day weekend... That's a damn fine idea

think I might have to do that myself - seeing as I worked every bank holiday this year I think im owed a couple back.

well, I'm lucking out a little, we get thanksgiving and black Friday off (11/28 - 11/29) without burning vacation time!

 

[Pete]

Cool. Now I can book time off work.

Well, if my contract gets extended...

 

[ether813]

Well, i would have preferred November 8th, but at least it is a Friday, going to book my 4 day weekend

 

[HeyCori]

with Black Friday right around the corner

November = all my monies gone

 

[ncxcstud]

Hey, no props for getting this on the forum before Hey Cori?

I've been paid for the wedding I have at the end of the month, so 350 down, just need to get someone to buy my PS3 with a few games on it... may go the Craigs List route... who knows...

Is it possible to wipe account information off of a PS3 yet still retain the games downloaded through that account? That'll be my big undertaking....

 

[Keith Wallace]

I would imagine that purchased games are locked to a specific PSN account, no? Otherwise, if I was thinking about how it's done on the 360 (no PS3 to check it on, never had one), you can go into the System settings, into Storage, then find accounts and delete them. I'd just think that it would make the games unusable to others.

 

[DavidinCT]

You can still order the Day one version from Microsoft... I ordered one, now I just gota figure out how to pay for it..

 

[tk-093]

Yeah, I got to get around to ordering my XB1. I have been holding out forever on a new computer as well, basically for Rome 2 Total War but after hanging out in the forums it looks like that game has pretty much launched in a buggy beta state so looks like instead of talking the wife into a XB1 and a new computer I just have to go with the XB1!

 

[ncxcstud]

I ordered mine from Best Buy this afternoon. If I get it at launch, cool beans, if not. I'll wait and won't be out any money
