E3 2013: Pre-order the Xbox One, get an achievement

4.5
Earlier today, Microsoft announced that Xbox One. The price was set at $500, and many are worried and do not believe it is worth it. With this in mind, Microsoft have decided to throw in some extra rewards for people who preorder the new Xbox. Once you preorder the console, you automatically get a day one achievement when arriving on your Xbox. This is no word on how much gamerscore the achievement will be worth.

The other thing they are offering when you preorder is a limited edition Xbox One controller. We do not know what the controller looks like yet, but we will hear more news about it in a few weeks or so. The package also contains "Extra Care," basically extra packaging so your console is guaranteed to be in top condition.

Will these extra gems have an impact on preorder sales? We will found out soon.

I'm pretty sure the controller just has a sticker that says Day One on it. I'd rather wait until it is cheaper.

MrCokedUp well PS4 Cought my eye, i was thinkin about getting the xbox - one but, i seen alot of flaw's like..

Xbox One : Flaws

- having to be online 24,7
- no used games
- no sharing,borrow
- xbox live sub
- starting price 500$ alone
- Kinect Seem's Like a Creeper If u Ask Me...

Xbox One :
- Flipping Channel's With Out Remote.
- Snap Chat Or W.e It Is Can Be Use Full For.
Guides' With Youtube..


My thought's about the.
Ps4

- Games i love Such as Kingdom Heart's 3
- Can Play Offline
- U Can Borrow - Used Game's
- No Sub < Not Sure But, Hopefully

i Really Don't Kno .. Both Sound Like Good Console's Hard To Deiced..

- Excuse My Grammer.

1. Once per 24 hours? Come on, unless you live in rural areas surely this won't be a problem.
2. You can buy used games.
3. You can share your games but you can only use it in one location at a time.
4. We pay for extreme exclusives and that along wins the Xbox One.
5. Like I have said before, $500 is nothing.
6. Fair enough but as they said, you can switch it off.

1-Internet can go out, even if you live in suburban areas the internet can go out and if it does you can entertain yourself on the Xbox.
2-You can't.
3-You can only share you games to one person MAXIMUM.
4-Extreme exclusives like what Halo and Forza? Extreme right?
5- Okay, 500 dollars may not be nothing but the PS4 is 400 so why not save 100 dollars?
6-Yea, I guess you can "switch it off", you win that one.

Overall the PS4 sounds better.


1. Okay Internet can go out but that's your fault not the Xbox's.
2. You can, look it up.
3. You're wrong, look it up.
4. What exclusives you got? Nothing right? Well we have Minecraft, Forza, FIFA, Battlefield, Halo & a lot more!
5. The PS4 is $400 because it costs a lot less to make it.

Cheers, Joe.


those arent exclusives. Only halo is.....
Halo, Forza & Minecraft are XBOX ONE only for the consoles. FIFA 14 and battlefield have exclusive DLC arrangements for the Xbox One

haha ps4 has to pay now to play online and the ps3 was $100 more than the xbox 360 when it came out and the reason the xbox is $100 more now is because it comes with the kinect sensor

1. Many people don't have internet, I hadn't had it for the previous six months as I had moved house, which had some issues fixing. Do you know what kept me sane while having no internet? That's right, the ability to play my 360 offline.

2. You can buy used games, but it is up to the publisher whether they allow their title to be resold. If they decide to do so, they are allowed to charge you whatever price they see fit for not being the original owner.

3. You CANNOT share games. In order for someone else to play your game, you have to be friends with them over Xbox Live for 30 days minimum, once you pass that 30 days you can GIVE said friend your game, not borrow. They become the new owner, and it can no longer be given again.

4. You pay for the Call of Duty map packs first, WOW! You pay for the Battlefield 4 map packs first, WOW! You can barely even call them exclusives. The only exclusive worth buying on that console is Halo, and that game alone is the only reason I would ever consider buying a One, as I am a fan of the series.

5. Sorry that not everyone else is as rich as you are. $500 is a lot of money, and that $100 difference is a BIG difference. I'm Australian, and the PS4 was revealed at $399, we here in Aus are paying $549! And our currency is virtually equivalent with the US dollar. We have to pay an added $150, that being said, with the Xbox One being priced at $499, we are looking at a price mark of $700.

and Last but not least, you CANNOT turn the Kinect off, however, you can "Pause" it. Do not confuse that with being turned off, it is only temporary.

I'm sorry, Joe, but you entered this conversation oblivious to any of the news updates about the One. Did you not watch E3? Have you not been keeping up to date? I quote "Look it up".

TTGiR3MiX Ps4 is a more overpowered console in the gaming market xbox one is more overpowered in watching tv wow soo cool I could just use normal tv for stuff like that ie sky sports ps4 graphics are better than Xbox one but I've got xbox 360 and ps3 there both equally good consoles but ps3 is good for eg the last of us (big title this year!) but Xbox still have minecraft which sales whise did amazingly awesome and that's why it's being released on xbox one so it can expand in the sales indie games are awesome on Xbox I mean seeing as I'm constantly on the ps3 and can't be bothered to plug my xbox in I wish that state of decay was on ps3 but its not coz it was made by the Microsoft team this generation I will be getting the ps4 and might get the Xbox one if it does good in sales no doubt it won't though so ill probably get it wen it drops about 30 and if it don't ill just save up for Christmas and get it but the thing is there both great consoles and I want both! And there just as good as each other in certain ways but Microsoft should off let you go membership free which would of been epic for me coz ma membership rang out like last month.


For the love of God, use spell check or please don't murder my brain cells like that.

Personally I can imagine Microsoft will come out with new announcements regarding always-online and it's DRM stance, I can't see them letting Sony walk all over them like this.

So... would you rather by a PS4 with 3 games for $580? Or Buy the Xbox One with 1 game for $560? Hmm.. The only REASONS why the PS4 isn't "leading" are because the price of the PS3 at launch was extremely high and it was hard to develop games on the system. So what happens? People buy a the cheaper console; which was the Xbox 360. I mean the PS2 was completely better than the Xbox Original. Now that the PS4 is cheaper to buy, made only for gaming, and is easier to develop games ons... It wouldn't surprised me if PlayStation regains control.

Pre ordering is not worth a 0GS Achievement in my opinion. The controller might be worth it but I don't need to order something 5 months early to get it packed extra special, that just shows that they normally don't package it well?
