GAME runs out of Xbox One Day One Edition consoles

4.7
UK retailer GAME is no longer taking pre-orders for the Xbox One Day One Edition.

In an update posted on its website over the weekend, the retailer said: "Unfortunately, we have now reached our limit for Xbox One Day One Edition console preorders.

"The standard edition console is still available to order, although we can no longer guarantee you will receive yours on launch day. As soon as we can confirm when the standard edition is available we'll let you all know."

Xbox One Day One Edition consoles come with a commemorative controller, a code to unlock an exclusive Achievement, and a free digital copy of FIFA 14.

Xbox One will launch in 13 markets this November. The Xbox One price has been set at £430 / €500 / $500.

Earlier this week, an alleged internal Walmart document suggested Microsoft may have pencilled in an Xbox One release date of November 8 in the US.

UK retailers can also no longer guarantee delivery of PS4 pre-orders placed after August 5.

GAME says: "Any customers who deposited after 6th August 2013 will be given priority over further stock, so the best way to make sure you get your hands on a console as close to launch day as possible is to deposit with us."

Sources close to the matter have told CVG that retail outlets have also been promised additional units for general sale on day one - meaning those who don't pre-order will still have a small chance of buying the system on release day.

This really doesn't affect me much seeing as I'm planning on moving to PC but this could prove to be rather disrupting to console gamers.

They've just recently in the last hours said that they have got a few more for sale so people can still get it but doubt they will be many left

KRATOS897 I live in Mxico, here, internet conections are the worst **** you've ever had, and every game or console is sold 30% above it's real price, (piracy is the real deal here :D and I love it! ) so therefore none of my friends or relatives is buying xbox. I'm sure there will be a lot of "xbox day one edition" consoles aviable because every single people I've met in my 21 years of life, is going to buy a PS4. And that is good for me because I will be able to play with people I've already fortten :) . Thank you Microsoft for making things easier for intelligent people who really want to play games.
Microsoft is the "Apple" of the videogames, "capitalist pigs" (-Nikolai), they should marry EA as they are doing in FIFA, and have little thieves childen, politicians, or something like that.


you do realize the internet and drm policy have been removed from the xbox one for months now. keep up

iJarH3ad Come on guys, to whoever really needs it on launch day, get a life. You don't even NEED it on launch day. Go outside and ride bike, read book, hang out with friends and do something until Xbox one fills up, which it takes up to 1 or 2 days. I mean, come on!


People who are console fans buy on launch day to get the most out of their console without spoiling their experience, you do realize that after release the internet will be full of images of the console and spoilers some want to find out by themselves?

Still don't understand why people rush to preorder and/or buy a console for $500, you can buy a gaming PC for that..
