NEWS: Amazon UK - PS4 and Xbox One Pre-Orders May Not Arrive Until After Christmas

The Amazon UK retailer has said not all PS4 and Xbox One pre-orders will be delivered in time for Christmas.



Those who have pre-ordered either an Xbox One or PS4 console (or both) from mid-November can expect delays in their orders, and could very well not play the new consoles until after Christmas. The PS4 section of the website lists a number of pre-order conditions and the chances of the console getting to you:

● Customers who pre-ordered this console up to and including August 6 have been given an option to get a PS4 for release day.

● Customers who pre-ordered this console from August 7 up to and including November 13 will receive their consoles before Christmas.


● Customers who pre-order this console from November 14 will receive their consoles after Christmas.


● Customers who cancel existing pre-orders and place a new order will not get their console for release day.


The same applies for the Xbox One practically, although it states pre-orders from November 13 can be expected after Christmas, although this isn't set in stone - many pre-orders could still make it on launch day. The Xbox One section reads similar conditions as the PS4:

● Customers who pre-ordered this console up to and including August 6 have been given an option to get a PS4 for release day.

● Customers who pre-ordered this console from August 7 up to and including November 13 will receive their consoles before Christmas.


● Customers who pre-order this console from November 14 will receive their consoles after Christmas.


● Customers who cancel existing pre-orders and place a new order will not get their console for release day.

PREVIEW: Dead Rising 3 - Story Trailer

New story trailer reveals what players can expect in the exclusive Xbox One title - lots of blood and hordes of zombies.



The trailer shows Dead Rising 3's main character Nick Ramos, a mechanic who is now wandering alone 3 days after the outbreak took place.

During a mad rush through hordes of flesh-thirsty Zombies, Ramos is bitten on the hand, and is simply told "Nick - honey, you're gonna turn in the next few hours", not very reassuring but at least it's the truth. 

Soon after, we see Ramos and fellow survivors slaughter zombies using any means necessary - massive explosions, custom made sharp objects, and so forth. This alone sets the tone for the entire game, players can expect to kill of large amounts of zombies just like previous installments.

With the pressure of turning into a zombie at any moment, another threat is added with the knowledge that the miltiary forces are planning to complete annihilate the fictional city of Los Perdidos, along with any living or dead inhabitants. 

The game will be exclusive to Xbox One, and will release November 22 along with the console's launch.

PREVIEW: Xbox One - Demonstration Video

A 12-minute long demonstration video shows off what the Xbox One has to offer and the experience its users can expect.


Xbox executives Yusuf Mehdi and Marc Whitten have performed a lengthy demo of the upcoming Xbox One, which launches later in the month. The video shows off the console's core features, amongst other functions.

Users will be able to customise the home page to suit their needs - a "pins" tab will enable you to place your favourite games, apps, movies, etc in a nice space catered to ease your accessibility to the content you most want to get to. No matter which Xbox One console you log into, your customized information and layouts will be remembered and automatically apply after logging in.

Voice-recognition is also shown, allowing users to voice certain actions which the console will then fulfill - examples shown were logging in and jumping straight into a paused game of Forza Motorsport 5. The 1080p Kinect sensor kit is needed to do such things, which will come with all Xbox One consoles.

Another selling point was the ability to watch live TV, all whilst still being able to accept game-invites if you want to stay in contact with your friends. The 'OneGuide' will let you watch TV with ease, allowing easy access to favourite TV shows, listings of current TV content, and finally app-related channels such as HuluPlus.

Popular communication outlet Skype will help Xbox One users to interact with each other, the view will alternate when a person (or animal) moves using the Kinect's ability to read skeletal frames to make sure the other receiver is getting the full shot.

Game DVR will let you record a recent piece of gameplay you might want to show off, which can then be edited in 'Upload' - the app will let you add commentary to that particular clip and pick a skin to personalise the content further. Check out the full demonstration video below.

NEWS: Xbox One Entertainment Launch Apps Revealed

NEWS: Peggle 2 - Slated For December Release

Instead of launching with the Xbox One as planned, Peggle 2 will now release during December.
Until recently, Peggle 2 was one of the games listed in the Xbox One's launch titles - but now the casual puzzler will be released in December with no specific date set. However, the game is still part of the 'launch window', meaning it will more than likely be out sooner rather than later.

Speaking to VentureBeat, PopCap Senior Director said:

"Peggle 2 is a 'launch timeframe' title. But it will not launch day-and-date with the Xbox One -- instead, it will become available a few weeks later in December."

The game will utilize the Kinect's functionality, allowing more than one of playing the game.
