The hype ! The fanbois ! The microsoft social media shills !!!
They're everywhere !

I'm still gonna wait and see before I buy either this of the PS4. PS4 not looking good already with the poor workmanship, BLOD etc., and I know microsoft are utterly woeful these days, desperate almost and totally out of touch with reality so we'll see what happens with the xbone...

I'm going to be asleep at midnight hopefully, I'll watch the coverage tomorrow. I like the XBO controller, probably the best controller ever built and therefore probably superior to the PS4 controller and thats not implying the PS4 controller is bad either.

Saw about 5 people stood outside Game this morning when I walked past on my way to work. I don't know whether they had a midnight opening and this was just the people who are reasonable interested but who had better things to do last night!

Think this will be bigger than PS4 - and wouldn't be surprised if people got mugged.

Seems like the open minded reviews state the Xbox 1 is a better all rounded and finished machine, including software.

Each to their own, I guess. Personally, I'm not in the least interested, and that's as an XB360 owner. Built-in Kinect alone is enough for me to rule it out, but that's not the only reason. But for those that want it, have fun.

I'll reserve judgement until a few retail boxes are out there - especially as we haven't had the PS4 launch yet. That said, I'm not planning to get either at the moment.

Anyone see BBC Breakfast this morning? It had Wossie on as a "video gaming expert" which I thought was bl**dy rich considering he's supposed to be a Microsoft "exec producer" - so not exactly unbiased.
