Hey UK Amazon buyers don't hold your breath for delivery today.

Amazon chat confirmed a delay and they could not tell me when it would be dispatched or delivered.

Such a joke. They did this with my PS4 Pro also.

This would be the first time Amazon UK have let me down. I've given up now expecting it today and probably even given up expecting it this week. I might cancel the order if it's not updated soon.

My Xbox One X running the Gears of War 4 Title Screen. This thing is loud and on a title screen????

I will probably end up taking this thing back. I can hear it when I am playing online in Gears of War.

I was just gonna ask about noise :(

Watching your video though the thing seems to be more silent than my PS4 PRO by quite a bit. Will confirm later this evening.

You are... X-boned (jk).

Can't you tell your parents to refuse delivery?

Does that gray gradient really stand out like it does in your picture on the Scorpio edition? Mine arrives later today, but seeing this makes me think I might should have just got the standard edition.

I just set mine up and I'm noticing that the gray is a lot more pronounced in pictures than it is in person.

Yeah, that's what I am thinking. I won't get much time today to play it anyway, so later in the week is OK. Although I could walk 5 mins down the road and probably walk out with one haha.

You want the Scorpio edition really right?

This will be my first dabble into Xbox One after being mainly an OG Xbox and 360 gamer in those generations. I'm excited for the back catalogue. I always felt the original One was not what I wanted and not true to the xbox brand. I also felt it was not enough of a leap having a lot of games at 720p/900p. The Scorpio edition is a homage to having the Original Xbox for me so it's a bit of nostalgia having that green writing and box.

Picked up mine from EB this afternoon.
Should I install games on internal HDD or on my external SSHD? I've heard the internal HDD is pretty fast this time.

I have a quick important question.

How is the performance of Dying Light in comparison to the PS4 version?
Does the PS4 version has a pro patch? Does it has a lower resolution on the one? If so, is it dynamic? Is the framers more unstable? I have the opportunity to buy the complete package with dlc for 20 bucks, retail, which is not easy here in Germany and I don't know if it's a good decision for the X in comparison to PS4.

Hi all!

How does the XBOX ONE X improve current 1080p games? For example, COD WW2 on XBOX ONE has a sort of "hazy" look. Does this disappear? How does a standard 1080p improve with the XBX?

Any other UK Scorpio preorders through Amazon here?

Trying to get info from them is impossible - what's going on with our orders? Has anyone received one?

Today is the day!

Although dispatched and says delivery by 8pm today... still waiting for it to change to "Out For Delivery". A little apprehensive as I've seen lots of issues from Amazon UK regarding this...

Yay, DHL was at home... I was not, lol.
If Amazon would have sent me the tracking number I could have ordered a reroute early enough.
Maybe I can pick it up tonight at the shop tho, will go home early :)

Had my preorder from Amazon UK as soon as preorders were up. I've been charged last night, it's been saying it's preparing to dispatch for 9 hours. I've chatted to the customer service twice, one promised me I'd get it today, the other had no idea when it would get here, but extended my Prime by a month. After all this, it's still saying on my order page that it'll come today. I have no idea what's going on anymore.

Congrats all. I had some spare cash. I was tempted. But I chose to be grown up and pay off some debt. Now I feel sad. Maybe next year!

Mines saying dispatched last night and its in a carrier facility in Newcastle ( which is about 45 minutes from where i live ) still says expected today but im not holding my breath. Amazon uk have been awful with deliverys for me the last few months.

Was this a scorpio?

Not received any courier information. Just stuck on shipping today/Arriving Today.

What if it's all a big mixup and they're being sent directly from supplier so they don't have access to consignment numbers to update their system. One can hope!

Wondering if the X internal HDD is now faster than my current external is. I might move some games over to internal for sure now but curious about that aspect.

I'm in the same boat.

I'm just waiting to find someone in this situation who has theirs turn up, otherwise we're all screwed...
