I think videogame publishers should not sell games/consoles to smaller shops, just big retailers on launch day to control this thing. I know its a huge disadvantage to pop & mom stores

Thing is, this was from Target. They're a very big company, one of the biggest retail chains in the country in fact. They're a competitor to Wal-Mart.[/quote]

So Microsoft will not sell Target consoles in the future breaks they sold systems earlier on?

They could do that if they really wanted, but they won't. These things just happen sometimes.

So some guy posted an unboxing video and was updating with all sorts of info on Twitter. Game sizes, boot times, etc. Gets banned.

He seemed so happy and was giving Microsoft all the free positive PR they could want. Guess they're not interested.

No need, there is an official Microsoft Unboxing video :

I lost respect for Major Nelson , he seems like the kind of guy that wants to push his products down your throat .

So I think my launch day Xbox One games will be:

Crimson Dragon
Killer Instinct
Need for Speed Rivals
probably Madden or NBA2K 14...

I have a fair amount of XBLA credit, so will likely buy all digitally. I figure that the sports and racing games will depreciate quickly anyway and be plentiful later if I want the disc, so may as well use up some of that credit!

I seem to recall hearing something about a feature that allowed you to have a friend take control of gameplay for you. Does anyone know if that's still in? It had me pretty excited.

I think it's interesting that I feel like we have pretty similar taste in games, yet that list is nothing like what I would get. Must not be as similar as I thought.

Did you cross reference it with my PS4 list?

That's pretty much the only way the small local places make any money off new games. My local shop sells games a week early for $5 more. That way they make at least $9 - $10. Plus it use to be pretty awesome to be first or second prestige before my friends even got the game.

Oh, lol. Damn, I wish it had that.
