Really? My console was ready after about 15 and the updates went faster than they did on my XB1.
Xbox Live hasn’t been great because of the launch, which is expected.

I had an 18gb update file for Yakuza. That never finished. Then a 29gb update file. I'm probably within 2gb of the "Ready to Play" arrow. We'll see if it actually allows me to play.

When I had games closed out, it would download insanely fast, but if I was in a game, it barely moved. I wonder how much the XBL issues had to do with it.
1. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES)
2. Mario Kart (Wii)
3. Half-Life 2 (PC)
4. Twisted Metal 2 (PS1)
5. NHL 95 (Sega Genesis)
6. The Oregon Trail (graphical version, 1985, Apple II)
7. Metroid: Zero Mission (GBA)
8. Missile Command (Arcade)
9. Rocket League (PS4)
10. Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Father (PC)

Yakuza?
I just snagged Assassin's Creed Valhalla for $50 on Amazon, but it is has no assigned shipping date. Blurg. Amazon is so cagey these days.

I'm going to get Fynix Rising (previously Gods and Monsters) when it comes out in December and maybe Watch Dogs on Black Friday. Assassin's Creed would have been just too much UbiSoft.

Yeah, you have to spread those types of games out. Probably a good move on their part in delaying Far Cry.

Amazon really fucking sucks for anything remotely video game related anymore. Shockingly have found Wal Mart and Best Buy to be way more reliable as far as the major retailers go

Best Buy does price matching, so I may try the pick it up there tomorrow. We will see.
So antonline says the package was shipped and provided a tracking number. But UPS's site says label was created on 11/10 but have not yet received package, yet they estimate delivery today by 11:30 to 3:30... hmmm... anybody encounter this before? Maybe UPS will deliver it today but neglected to update status?

That's a possibility and has happened to me. It's also possible that Ant printed labels, but didn't ship units.
