We don't know when it's coming out, but the Xbox One is available for pre-order at European retailers <a href="http://www.game.co.uk/en/xbox-one-console-deposit-228387?cm_sp=xboxnews-_-dealSpots-_-XboxOneUpdated">Game</a> and <a href="http://www.zavvi.com/shops/xbox.list?s=xbox+one">Zavvi</a>. It's also up for "pre-order notifications" on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CMQTVK0?tag=-10-15-20">Amazon</a>, the <a href="http://xbox.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/html/pbpage.XboxAnnounce?siteID=te1Fq2FCseg-bBLE5Q5NqqYhGQJzAfTeCg">Microsoft Store</a>, <a href="http://www.gamestop.com/xboxone">GameStop</a> and <a href="http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Video-Games/Xbox-One/pcmcat300300050002.c?id=pcmcat300300050002&amp;searchresults=1&amp;searchterm=xbox+one">Best Buy</a>. Best Buy's ad lists the Xbox One with a "holiday 2013" release window, though all we know officially is that it's coming "<a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2013/05/21/xbox-one-coming-later-this-year/">later this year</a>."<br />
<br />
Game lists a pre-order holding price of &pound;20 for the Xbox One, while Zavvi's pre-order down payment is &pound;400. Zavvi also has a lineup of Xbox One games for &pound;50, including <em>Call of Duty: Ghosts </em>and <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2013/05/21/ea-sports-next-gen-ignite-engine-shown-off-in-trailer-form/">four EA Sports games</a>.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2013/05/21/xbox-one-pre-orders-info-lists-live-via-game-amazon-microsoft/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Xbox One pre-orders, info lists live via Game, Amazon, Microsoft Store</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2013/05/21/xbox-one-pre-orders-info-lists-live-via-game-amazon-microsoft/">Xbox One pre-orders, info lists live via Game, Amazon, Microsoft Store</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Tue, 21 May 2013 19:15:00 EST.

Both retailers give the re-release a November 30 release date, but they differ wildly on their prices. ShopTo has pre-orders for &pound;15.85, discounted from an apparent MSRP of &pound;19.99, while Zavvi asks &pound;37.45. <br /><br />We didn't even realize it was the 25th anniversary of <em>Metal Gear Solid 4</em>! Oh ... right. It's a re-release honoring the 25th anniversary of <em>Metal Gear</em>. Neither retailer detailed the additions, but MGS4 has since been <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/07/11/report-metal-gear-solid-4-finally-getting-trophies/">updated</a> with Trophies and full installation, which would naturally be on the new disc.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/11/07/metal-gear-solid-4-25th-anniversary-edition-found-on-european/">Metal Gear Solid 4 '25th Anniversary Edition' found on European retailers</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 07 Nov 2012 10:15:00 EST.

The Zavvi listing remains active.<br /><br />We'll check with Ubisoft; however, for an actual status update about these games, we're sure we'll need only to wait for E3.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/05/30/report-uk-retailers-list-assassins-creed-3-and-ghost-recon-f/">Report: UK retailers list Assassin's Creed 3 and 'Ghost Recon: Final Mission' for Vita</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 30 May 2012 11:00:00 EST.

The one with all the ridiculous existential questions, who had clearly lost his mind many moons before Desmond's arrival? Apparently that dude is the focus of <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/02/17/assassins-creed-revelations-dlc-named-priced-dated-by-gamest/">the next DLC pack for <em>AC: R</em></a>, The Lost Archive, as a retailer-leaked video reveals.<br /><br />The game's listing on <a href="http://www.zavvi.com/games/platforms/xbox-360/assassin-s-creed-revelations-ottoman-edition/10594189.html">Zavvi</a> reportedly had the above video before it was pulled, though the retail site still lists some details about the third DLC pack's contents. Beyond the campaign stuff you'll be running through as Subject 16, the Lost Archive DLC comes with three character skins, Ezio's Turkish-flavored assassins armor, a fancy robe from Altair, and Brutus' armor.<br /><br />It looks like the Lost Archive may aim to link <em>Revelations</em> to the barely detailed <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/02/15/assassins-creed-3-arrives-on-october-30/">next Assassin's Creed franchise entry</a>, but we can't be sure just yet. We've asked Ubisoft for more details and will update this post if we hear more. The Lost Archive DLC launches on February 28 for $15 on Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Network.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/02/23/ac-revelations-lost-archive-dlc-dives-into-the-life-of-subje/">AC: Revelations' 'Lost Archive' DLC dives into the life of Subject 16</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 23 Feb 2012 12:00:00 EST.
