Really strange. Seemed to work flawless for me. Was this with UHD or just anything?

It was terrible one S and X. Lots of visual artifacts, HDCP errors on DVDs, crashing and freezing
Didn't plan on picking mine up tomorrow for fear of lines/being near other folks but Best Buy is doing curbside pickup, can't wait to play some fuckin' Blinx lol
Seems transfering some series X Games from one X to series X is pointless. Just transfered gears 5 and it wants to do a 70gb update, might as well just re download the whole game. I assume other games will be similar.
Just checked forza horizon 4 as well, wants to do a 64gb update.

That's a nice haul. Now I just need to convince the wife that I 'need' a new CPU/GPU.
giddy up!!!
This will be the longest night every. And tomorrow the longest. I have to meet UPS outside, they have a knack for just driving by and saying unable to deliver. (fkrs)
I will be walking back and forth outside for 12 hours tomorrow. I got a Ring doorbell by y gate just for this.

Any thoughts on the S in here? I hadn't really considered getting either Xbox console, but now that I've pretty summarily decided to not build a new PC for at least another 2-3 years, I'm kind of tempted to grab an S tonight just as a gamepass/BC machine, as something complementary to my PS5. I have a pretty big OG Xbox library as that's the only system I had as a kid, and I'd love to play through some of those again.
My only hesitation is the 1080p concerns that have been aired in some reviews. IQ is something that does reaaaaally matter to me, for better or worse, and I'm worried that I'll end up just wanting to get an X in a year once exclusives running at native 4K start hitting. Also BC titles not running at max resolution would be a bummer potentially.

Do I need to wipe an external HD if I want to use it to transfer games between the One and the X or could I just plug it in, move the game onto the HD (despite it already having random stuff on it), and then do the same once I get the X tomorrow but in reverse?
what? i completed it last year, it was fine, much better than any console version at the time. got a very solid 1440p60 on a gtx 1080 with stutter, but about the same as a recent ubisoft game like odyssey.
Nonstop stuttering on my 1070. So I visited Google to find some solutions. And nothing.

Mine won't be here till tomorrow. I feel a little neutral on it due to games though, I'll probably end up playing some Xbox original games along with the Halo collection the most right now. Not really sure what next gen game is the one to show off the system with but I may pick up the new COD.
I am very very far behind on titles due to waiting to get them on xbox though (Have a ps4 pro) and wanted to get the best versions of games which seems to be on xbox most of the time.
Any other suggestions? Never been a creed fan and I do have a 4K tv at least.
Guess it will be Gears? Actually haven't played one since 3 so I may need to play the others first.

Ok so far series X update sizes from copying the one X versions to the internal SSD
Gears 5 - 80gb
Forza Horizon 4 - 64gb
AC Valhalla - 42gb
Sea of thieves - 0gb
Watch dogs Legion - 37gb
Borderlands 3 - 61gb
Looks like it's a day of downloading patches.

oh 😞 what speed is your RAM? sorry to hear that. it was def noticeable for me on a 3000mhz ryzen rig but it was not significantly worse than odyssey for example.
😂 great OT otherwise! 👏
If you enjoy racing games Forza Horizon 4 is great. Ori if you enjoy platformers.
I put in an impulse order when I saw stock go up briefly online (Australia) last night. Was planning on getting a PS5 but I haven't been able to preorder, so this'll hold me over.
I knew the launch lineup was lacking but it doesn't really hit until you see the displays in store. Literally just Assassin's Creed and Yakuza. Not really in the mood for another 60 hour Ubisoft open world. Yakuza is cool, but far from a next gen showcase. Glad I held onto my OG Xbox and 360 games all these years.

I haven't played any of those much (a demo) and I like them a lot more than Forza. Are any worth playing besides 4? I'll probably be on game pass anyways and I assume a lot of these games will be there so I guess it won't be too bad.
I am pretty sure I own a ton of 360 digital games as well.
Forza Horizon 4 is the only one on game pass. It's also getting a Series X patch which seems really good. The other games have been delisted so you'll have to track down physical copies. They're all excellent games but opinions differ based on how much you enjoy a specific game's map or progression. Try out 4 and see if you want to track down the others.
I copied the one X version to the internal SSD and it wants to do a 42gb update for the game. I assume all series X patches must be downloaded and none of it is on disc. And so far other than sea of thieves it seems to want to download nearly the entire game
Didn't realize it was a special box until after I opened it.
Teared the side a bit lol.
You actually got one of those Taco Bell boxes lmao. Congrats, never actually known anyone who won one.
The Xbox file system is a custom format, it'll reformat your external drive if you try to connect it for storing games.
You're the Master of the Impossible Preorder.
giddy up!!!
Teach me your ways.
(I know, I know. "I use bots.")
Does anyone know if you can have say a One X and a Series X both as your primary console?
I know you could in prior generations but it's getting a bit more consolidated now I guess.

Its a zany Japanese puzzle-lite game, like Katamari, where the world is full of these hot mugs and cool glasses of soda, water, etc. And you have to strategically place coasters everywhere to keep the planet's surface from getting damaged.
If any lucky early deliveries want to help a gamer out, post a video of Samurai Shodown's loading times.
They are horrendous on X1X even on an SSD and I'm hopeful for significant improvement even before the XSX patch comes out.

Just got my Series S today. 800mb day 1 system update, followed by another update for the controller. Even knowing it was going to be small, seeing how small it is in person was still surprising.
One of the biggest things I noticed immediately was the improved controller latency,. Playing Halo 5, I felt there was greater response on the controller where everything had a snappier feel to it. I'm sure I'll have my mind blown when I get to play some X optimized games, but it's funny that's the first thing I noticed.
How does H5 look with the better texture filtering? Does it look as good as the PC version on highest settings?
Sucks the old controllers don't get that update until next year. Not sure if I'm going to switch to the new controller or continue with my Elite.
