Oh yeah! The "ONE" has finally arrived!

there will be fast times allready. I saw in the video dazz put up and seen voodooumu in there and he way fast

Yea bro understood, im talking about the guys that havent been around for ages then jump on OZFM after collecting their preorder, then proceed to tell everyone how awesome they are with their "top" times and how much everyone else is missing out etc blah blah blah, and then promptly disappear muttering excuses when everyone else gets their game and they realise they arent blitzing it as much as they thought they were. Go OZFM community. Also another small reason why I aint a fan of leaderboards, but rather actual racing.  

Panda-monium breaks loose

12.05am: Xbone dedicated servers crash with the deluge of once-off online mandatory logins.

12.35am: some servers are up, but crash again from the weight on continual attempts to log on

2.45am: All servers are still down as 100,000's users attempt to log on in the asia pacific region.

6.15am: Europe and America attempt to access the xbone servers, but the entire online infrastructure collapses from the millions world wide attempting to log on.

9:30am Microsoft release a press statement.
"Due to the unexpected attempts by all new xbone users to log onto the new state of the art dedicated servers, some problems have occurred and all activity has been postponed. Over the 72hr all world regions will be allocated time one at a time to allow the system to operate. During this time any and or all general gaming will be suspended, as per the Terms and Conditions of using our online services. America will be activated first, followed by Europe and the remained of the world, well can just wait. than you for your patience"

3 days later, Australia and New Zealand are activated and all initial attempts to log in are successful.

Another Day later, All general online gaming is accessed and things appear to be running smoothly.

A week away, Xbone Dedicated servers crash due to a Russian Hacking Group, and Microsoft again are forced to keep them down and publicly  inform all users that there privacy has been compromised.
"over the last 48hrs all operating xbone units has been sending complete video from inside everyone lounge room, via the new always on kinetic sensors. we regret the inconvenience caused to our users and are working around the clock to rectify the problem"

millions of personal videos pop up all over every social media outlet, inc Youtube, Facebook. Of everyday people going about the daily business in the privacy of there own home. The gaming public are outraged and 100's are attempting to return the Xbone.

Police are required to calm the growing unrest as gamers are demanding there money back from local game stores. A roit has broken out at one downtown EB game store as police are forced to arrest dozens of gamers young and old alike after smashing displays and windows.

Wake up sweetie you fell asleep, its 11 o'clock and your going to miss the midnight launch of that new toy…..

Phew it was only a bad dream….. or was it…..

Leaderboards are awesome:P   I'll be hooning around Bathurst till morning drinking red bull n vods:drunken: 

Man waiting suxs big time, and I h8 tasty

Not wrong, the dude at my EB said it was one of the official launch locations n that 200 ppl were comin to.. Will be there all night ffs..

I got the fast pass at eb but I think prob 200 others got same thing

I didn't even get offered one.. Wtf, how you get that?

Just by havin paid in full b4 launch day

Went in the other day to preorder assassins creed and the girl at EB asked if I had preordered the xbox one...  Told her I had a fast pass, she said, oh your the one!  Small town...  lol.

I think I will wander down at 11:45pm

As much as I want to go pick my Xbone at midnight launch I have to resist temptation and pick it up tomorrow. For I know if I get it tonight I'll end up being on it till god knows what hour of the morning and then go to work on no sleep and drive around in a car all day driving like I do in GTAV.

Thats why we get sick days.

Going to be epic, I'm pretty sure my EB store said they only had 80 units pre ordered and not many fully payed as of then. Pretty tempted to go and pick up my accessories and games at 9pm and see what entertainment they have going on.
