Xbox One delayed
So most of us probably know that the Xbox One is being delayed in eight countries. The Xbox One will be released early 2014 for those eight countries. The delayed release affects me and many of my friends who play on Xbox. What do you guys think of this?
There is also something I am still deciding if I should do it or not. I was thinking about driving to Germany which is a one hour drive to get there from where I live and just buy one there as there are no regional restrictions, however, I'm not quite sure because I don't know if it will be any different. What do you guys here on the forums think I should do? Do you know if there would be a difference from importing an Xbox One in a country that gets it in november?
Thanks for reading.

1 RispondiThat sucks. But I must ask, why buy an X1 so soon? I personally see no incentive to buy at launch at all.

This is obvious flamebait. That's not an issue you can blame the company for, they can do only so much. Has there ever even been worldwide hardware launch? I doubt it, I'm not even talking games. It takes time to get it to many countries, you can't expect it everywhere at launch. I'd say a few months but the PS2 didn't get to India until 2009. Them's the breaks. I'm pretty sure the same will apply to the other consoles, bar Wii U as it launched last year, should be worldwide by now. Don't put a damper on the company for [i]that[/i] reason, there's plenty more reasons to do so though. EDIT: [quote]Do you know if there would be a difference from importing an Xbox One in a country that gets it in november?[/quote] Large Price difference, their local games will likely not work, or many won't. Many features won't work and it will be in English, not their native language. It will register as a system from your country which could bring issues down the road, not too far down the road. Many long term risks for a home console and a pricey one at that, best wait or get one that's available, or both.
