So I woke up today, and saw my delivery was at the depot in reading when I refreshed an hour later it was in Burpham Guildford! I find it a shame I don’t live at my old address that is pretty much at the bottom of the marker in the shot above.
So I waited… debated about doing an animated gif of the truck driving away…
Promptly realised I hadn’t taken the same sized screen cut each time… so went back to work to await my delivery
With the arrival of Dead Rising 3 (via Royal Mail standard post) Pixel took possession
How is this an optimised route? Drive past customers to double back? Maybe could see a east and west Guildford but he literally drove past the end of my road…
Anyway…
(Yes I realise I am abusing the “…”)
And here is Xbox One!
Spot on a nice gesture
Pretty hard to see in the photo but says “Hello from Seattle” nice touch!
And that is my Xbox pre-gaming experience, will complete an actual review once have got a proper handle on the console.
