Xbox One - First Impressions
November 26, 2013

My pre-order of the Xbox One arrived on Monday and I’ve had a little time to play with it. I mostly got the device for Forza which I love. So after a couple of days with it, here are my first impressions.

I finally hit 10,000 XBox Live Gamer Points. How's that for a testiment to wasted time?  Burnout Paradise finally put me over the top, though I thought it would be Assassin's Creed or the Mass Effect DLC.

It seems that thos endless days of GOW, Forza 2 and Missle Command took its toll on my 360.  After struggling to get through this past week, I finally got through today and my 360 going back to the shop...

I had planned to go to a midnight store opening and purchase a machine this evening, but both stores I could find were already sold out (though they wouldn't explain how they sold out of an item that can't sell yet, since they weren't taking pre-orders).  I then spoke to CompUSA and was told that it is first come-first serve, but they were only selling it as a kit that included extra controllers, 2 games and their extended service plan (at $699).  Bah, another reason to hate CompUSA.
