    @MajorNelson how will day one editions shipping work? Will it be a week before or dose it depend on how long away were live from MS or from a MS store?

    Off Topic: Thanks Microsoft for the free upgrade to release date shipping on GTA 5! Can’t wait to play it and add the free 1600 MSP to my account.

    Now the question is to save those points for inevitable GTA Online DLC, or to finally pull the trigger on State of Decay.

        my guess with watch dog is it’s going to be very very very repetitive. Point, hack, run. Not saying it’s going to be bad, but certainly not as free as GTA. It feels it has a lot of the AC mechanic (watch dog). That being said, my thing is titanfall and the division =)

        Yeah I mean GTA 5, in which you plan out your bank heists, then execute them the way you see fit. Wear masks, steal as much as you like, kill whoever you like and escape. You know, exactly like Payday lol.

        One could only dream of a Kinect-less Xbox One at this point. I’m actually amazed Microsoft stuck to their guns on this one after back-peddling on just about everything else. I’m curious at this point to see what happens after launch if sales numbers are lower then they predict. Maybe that Kinect-less dream will come true.

        there are 2 scenarios about the kinect now.

        Either you will like it in the end, OR Microsoft releases it without the kinect. At this point it is pretty much up in the air for now, the first year’s results will dictate how it goes

      From everything I have read is that MS is banning people playing the leaked version of the game on modded Xbox’s. There hasn’t been one post anywhere with PROOF that they are banning people for getting a purchased retail copy a day or two early.

      If anything, just unplug from the internet and play it for now lol.

      Like

    • Death Dealer

      MS don’t ban legitimate early use. They are very well aware of illegally leaked copies already out there and those are the ones being banned (if they truly are and I agree on them being banned). People who stream the game before the release and purposely spoil it for everyone on the internet deserve this coming to them too.
      Right now, you are free to play the game as you please, even logged into Xbox Live.
