What is that and where?
Never mind I'm an idiot. In Xbox of course. Derrrrr.
I just hope my Best Buy status goes from prepared to shipped today, I Haven't been this excited for a console in a looong time.
Haha, yeah just search for it. It has lots of people in it. I figured this is the official ResetEra Xbox community in this thread, so i'm assuming you all are in it.
Also my Amazon Scorpio order says it will be here tomorrow around 8pm. Super stoked.
Happy days! My Smyths toys are opening at midnight to collect preorders.
Glad I cancelled amazon
Glad I cancelled amazon
8pm? :-o
That's pretty late. I dumped an additional 5€ for Morning Express delivery. It should be here between 9am and 11am.
I got the fastest shipment for my order. And to be honest i think its more of an estimate as i have never seen a delivery man ship anything to my house any later than 4pm. Either way they say it will be here tomorrow.
I am! I didn't realize they were having one until someone brought it up in a thread and sure enough the BB I ordered my Scorpio edition from for store pickup is doing a midnight launch. They are opening at 11pm for it where I live. I had not heard about the sock thing.
I'm in the US but I think UPS has something similar to that. I have purchased seven launch consoles from Amazon and 3 of the last 4 have been delivered after 5:30 pm. I will investigate thanks for the reminder...
Amazon IT has not shipped mine, a little sad since I live in Sicily and here the delivery process is even slower than the rest of Italy :(
Fuck mine still says 'Wordt verwerkt'. They better not screw this up.
My fedex tracking number finally got some information on it. Overnight shipping, arriving tomorrow. I ordered from Microsoft directly, late September. I'll be taking tomorrow off then. We're getting some service work done (solar panels have been playing up) so hopefully the house will have power by the time it arrives.
Nice.
I got a text message after my initial delay email from DPD telling me it's arriving tomorrow. Phew.
Pfff still 'wordt verwerkt' for me. They assured me twice it would be here on time, but it needs to go to Belgium
Yeah, usually with my orders from amazon, they'll say "Before 8 [or 9] pm, but if it's UPS or FedEX, they'll get here around 10 or 11. USPS comes around at 530 in the evening and the only time I get something "late" is that sometimes my same-day orders will show up at like 7-730. That's rare though.
Yeah, I'm in the ERA Xbox club. I'm the dude that posted the Day One achievement in case anyone was looking for theirs. Felt kinda lame, but it took me so long to be able to find mine I was hoping it'd help someone else out. I made the Day One cheevo art as my background because I'm travelling at full-hype Captain, but I think I'm going to switch it after I get my new console because it's not a very good background, lol.
My console is expected to arrive sometime tomorrow. Unfortunately I'm still not done with the pre-loading of some 4K stuff, but I believe I've got enough stuff ready for some testing. I'm getting paid on the 10th so that's when I'll buy some of the stuff, but it's cool. I have tons of BC games, ROTTR, indies like RedOut and Gridd, etc. all ready to go.
Thats how my shipping works in my area too. My Amazon order is UPS btw. I forgot about that achievement lol. Its almost a mark of shame on my gamertag.
This is my current background and will be on my my X when it arrives. Classic Holliday 08 theme from the 360 days. Its not 4k but it will do.
I wouldn't worry about it lol. People can't see it unless you have it pinned or "share" it.
I'm probably either going back to this one for my background on Scorpio or one of the achievement arts for Sunset Overdrive. I love how colorful those are.
edit: Boogie2988 uploaded his review for his Xbox One X if anyone's interested.

Still nothing on my GameStop order. Was charged on the 1st. Sent an email on Saturday asking what in the world is going on. Going to give them till 9am and then going to call and be on hold for 40 minutes and give up.
I'll keep using this one(it's dark and I see every element on screen much better than using a brighter picture):
I am going to call my EBGames today just to make sure all is well,...they open at 9 instead of 9:30 tomorrow morning(woopteedoo ;)...they better have it,they took my One on October 1st for the 200 dollar trade-in(CAD) and I have 100 bucks down on it already.
Yeah, I don't have a good feeling. Mine is waiting for CC authorization. Funny, I've seen a couple people on other gaming forums who just got the regular edition have tracking numbers. People like us with the Scorpios are the ones in limbo, it seems. I'm not going to be happy. I'd take a regular edition if I just got it tomorrow instead of god knows when.
Amazon UK are taking the smeg... My wife and I watched the show live, then F5ed the shit out of all the sites until the Scorpio came up for pre-order. We got one within 20 seconds of them going live, if that.
Here I am, the day before release, with amazon telling me its still planned for delivery, up to 11pm at night. But its not even been set up for dispatch yet. ELEVEN PM. What the shit am I supposed to do at 11pm? Because I sure as shit wont be playing anything thanks to having to transfer everything over...
But the real kicker, is that my friend pre-ordered one LAST WEEK from Amazon UK, and he's not even a Prime member like myself... His was packed and dispatched Saturday...
They really need to sort out how these orders work, its almost like they do it the wrong way around... We order thousands of pounds of gaming stuff every year from those asshats, yet they decide to give priority to my friend, who, in his own words, "never uses amazon as its a piece of shit but whatever have the cash".
Yeah ok, the waiting killing a little bit more than it should haha :p

I am in the same boat as you guys. I have a Scorpio edition preordered and it is still in processing.
I'll keep using this one(it's dark and I see every element on screen much better than using a brighter picture):
Apt! It's you waiting for the parcel for the next 24 hours :P
Best new console wishes to all those getting one. There's not much else like the excitement of getting a new shiny console :')
My EB called me yesterday. They told me they were opening at 10 like it was something special. They usually open at that time.
Dam it BestBuy!! I was hoping to wake up this morning with a tracking number. After checking the app all I got it still preparing order. I'm starting to lose faith in that it will be delivered tomorrow. I guess if its not shipped by midday then its time to cancel.
