If he is in JHB, let me know what games he has keys for and I'll bring them over on an external. He can activate them with his codes :)

Else PM me ;)

At present, with parity being almost assured between consoles on visuals, I am actually leaning toward the Xbone. Reason being the controller just feels better in hand and the multimedia features it has over the ps4. Now I know most people don't use their consoles for media...but the Xbone getting Plex is pretty damn badass and I am sure a lot of people will use it as a media centre pass through.

Mine arrives next week, main purpose is the Media Centre so I can retire my Amazon FireTV.

Obviously it will be used for gaming as well, mainly Forza of course. Will report my coil whine issues here if any

PS, my daddy is not buying mine ;)

Make it a coke and you might have a deal. Meeting up with Gizmo this weekend for his Forza disc, can swing by if your around :)

Or Bribe Gizmo to let you install using his disc :p

Well, the XBOX One can replace my 3D Blu-ray player, my Roku, my mede8er and my XBOX 360 (obviously).

It wasn't viable to replace the Mede8er before but I see it can now do DLNA (incl. mkv) as of the last update. Can someone confirm pretty please?

If it can do proper DLNA, I can pay for the console buy selling the above boxes :)

Nice!

I got my console on Friday with the Forza and Fifa bundle.
Included in the box was the Forza disc - but no Fifa code? I have hunted through the packaging like 4 times now and nada.
A mate of mine in Durban also received his on Friday, and same thing - no Fifa code.

Anyone know where to find this code?
 
This thread is hilarious, ordered my XB1 from Incredible Connection as George always has stock problems! [MENTION=21573]DominionZA[/MENTION], i had a similar experience with my 360 before, just phone the place you bought it from and they will give you their suppliers email, tell your story on the email and they will send it happily via email. I bought the 360 from BT Games and the chick from the suppliers was Tiffany... I had to imagine her as Delicious Tiffany (please dont ask why)
 
Ok, so just bought my XBOX 1 at Makro for quite a good price and has this weird crackling sound permanently coming from the machine.

It's not too loud but can hear it from across the room. Downloading a game to see whether it goes away on gameplay as stated previously.

Either way, going back for a swap a Makro next weekend for an exchange or refund.
 
The coil whine on my xbox 1, seems to have quited down a bit, after having it downloading forza for the last 3days
 
I can barely here it now when idle, it was louder when I 1st got it.
 
Got my XB1 on Friday from Toy's R Us, was dreading the coil whine issue but it is completely silent. Its on all the time because I'm running my DSTV through it, and even when I switch the TV off sitting about 1.5m away there is no noise.
 
Hi guys... let's maybe add those gamertags? Mine is Z0mbieZillah on xbox one
 
Anyone received an Xbox One with Kinect from FNB yet? Still waiting to hear about delivery.

I received one without Kinect this morning.

Ordered on Thursday, received today. Pretty stoked with the service.

Plugged it in at work to do the update, took about 3 minutes. Will check coil whine when I get home.
