Though considering how shambolic Microsoft have been recently, the Xbox One was probably released in 1949 due to an accident involving a prototype time machine.
hahahaha

So thats a week after the PS4 in USA, but more importantly a week before in Europe
At least Sony did it at Gamescom. Microsoft just put it in a press release...
I think I speak for most people when I say it's the date that matters, not how it's announced...
You are of course correct. Microsoft should have had fireworks, a brass band, lasers, zoo animals and thousands of screaming people with Xbox flags.
No one would have took the piss then.....
In the grand scheme of things they could have waited for euro gamer or when another event came up, but they decided to do a press release as soon as they decided on a date.
I'm just saying haha.
I mean look at O2, they did a live gig at the O2 london for the launch of 4G....
Microsoft write 3 sentences....
That's all they have to do, then the press will carry the story for free.
"Hey, do you remember when Sony made a huge deal about their release date at the games conference?" Of course not, all people care about is the actual date
Saying that, I do like He4rt idea of zoo animals

I don't know if this was how they intended to announce the release date but I get the feeling that retailers and gamers pushing for a release date may have forced the issue to provide an actual date in this sort of way.
This line in the description made me smile the price at time of this message was $755
And yeah I saw some people on other sites saying how they were dumb to announce it now when there was PAX at the weekend, gamescom before that etc.
The release date is big news. News sites are not going to ignore it just because it isn't announced at an event.
It's not hard to fufill 10 pre orders though is it...
Why can't I get that image out of my head lol
Everyon's a comedian. Except in this case.
My 360 broke and i hear this new one won't play my 360 games.
I was thinking about the PS4 but there is no way on hells earth i could have that vile looking machine anywhere near my lounge or man cave!!
Maybe in the future....
