request GT6. GT6 243 preorders are very disapointing, but it's a franchise that grows.

I wonder when CoD: Ghosts for the Xbox ONE will show up...

Probably in a week or two. I'm assuming Gamestop & EB Games were ready to take Call of Duty Ghost and X-Bone pre-orders the day it was announced, but it still has to get over 16,000 pre-orders to appear on the cart.

Actually never mind, EB Games/Gamestop are not taking pre-orders yet, so when they do, a week or two after that.
