i pre-ordered a xbox one today in HMW, was told i would get it in the second batch in the first week of december. I still try get one on launch week, randomly driving around all places i can think of, tescos, Smyths, Harvery Norman etc. I bought battlefield 4 today to keep me going until then. seems like the PS4 is the more powerful console but depends if the developers can make use of it, the whole cross platform development will scale it down a bit initially. If Xbox one flops ill sell it and convert to PS4. Im looking forwardf to Forza 5 and Killer Instinct exclusives though
