I havent received any email/ credit card confirmation but it says this. im getting a little antsy knowing its coming tomorrow and havent received detailed info. but your description and mine is pretty similar

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm hoping it's just a case of them not updating the status on the website yet, but Amazon.co.uk seem to be cutting it a little fine for my liking.

 

I pre-ordered in June, and less than 6 hours before launch day, the status on the website still says "Preparing for Dispatch". It's been in this status since late last night.  My copy of Dead Rising 3 was despatched yesterday. I was a Prime member at the time I ordered so I've paid for expedited delivery, but still....  me a little nervous :)

$128.05?!  :huh:

I think Xendrome must have had gift card credit that covered most of the price of the Xbox one, which would make sense.

I think I'm going to take advantage of Best Buy's 360 trade-in promotion to get a new 360. I currently have an Elite model that is starting to make noise while reading discs. So I'm going to trade it in for $100, buy an E Holiday bundle off of Amazon, and walk way with a brand new, replacement 360 and 2 games for $150. Woot. That should hold me over until I decide to get a One.

Well that is just great. Thanks to Amazon, I now wont get my console until Monday. Everything was just fine until this morning, when they process the payment incorrectly and put the whole thing on hold. I get it all sorted, but now its too late to get it shipped on time.

Oh but I'll still get my game and extra controller! :crazy:

I had a similar issue with Game.

 

Apperently, out of nowhere, there were two Xbox's in my basket (I had checked on it multiple times before, so I know I didn't put two in there), and so the large transaction was declined by the CC company (who tried to call me, but had an old number).

 

Luckily, Game tried to take the payment on the 14th, so I had enough time to get it sorted.

 

I had 48hrs in which to contact them, otherwise I suppose I would have lost my pre-order position.

They've told me 100% it will not effect it being a Day One edition, or the delivery date, but I'm still kinda worried about that tbh.

Yeah I'm just a bit nervous too on it.  They could've slapped them on the trucks and will be putting in the shipping info later.  Almost wish I would have just pre-ordered at the local gamestop since we have one now, I keep forgetting since I generally just Amazon my games, my two X1 games are from Amazon due to my Discover Card cash back, only paid $24 for DR3 and AC4 lol.  My AC4 is sitting here on my desk.  Need to disconnect my PS3 sometime.

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      How backwards can you have it? Yes, Linux was gaining because of Linux handhelds and the push for gaming compatibility, but that's not desktop users, it barely converts anyone who owns a SteamDeck, though it helps for those who wanted to do it, but anyways, the AI+RAM debacle helped Linux because people can't easily upgrade their PCs easily and many hate AI so they'd be incentivized to try Linux.

      Ok.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      Dude, it's a .reg away from a permanent modification. If you're a power user, look it up and keep the .reg and stop being a crybaby expecting MS to include customization for everything on a generalist OS. The default is what's the best UX for the majority of the userbase, non techie people.
    • Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price

      Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price by Taras Buria Having a Stream Deck-like device next to your keyboard could be a massive productivity boost. It lets you map specific actions and shortcuts to speed things up, and Logitech has such a device for you with a big 20% discount. Right now, you can save $40 on the Logitech MX Creative Console. The MX Creative Console is an unconventional accessory that consists of two modules. One module has nine customizable buttons, with each having a built-in display for mapping. You can assign apps, shortcuts, actions, or something else. There are nine buttons, plus two more for switching between "pages" of actions. The second module has no displays. Instead, there is a big twisting knob and a small roller for precise adjustments in creative apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity, and more. There are four additional buttons as well. The MX Creative Console is available in two colors: Graphite and Pale Gray. Both are now 20% off, saving you $40. Just keep in mind that the MX Creative Console requires the Logitech Options+ app, which is only available on Windows and macOS. By the way, each unit comes with three months of Adobe Creative Cloud. Logitech MX Creative Console Graphite - $159.99 | 20% off on Amazon Logitech MX Creative Console Pale Gray - $159.99 | 20% off on Amazon This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.
