Weird that XSX supports themes at launch and PS5 doesn't yet hmmmm. Oh well it's just a matter of time.
I woke up! Today, my Xbox Series X will arrive. No kidding, right?
Xbox DACH yesterday put up an awesome live drone show over the Cologne sky. If you want to watch it: Here it is. Worth it, I promise!
Probably not enough clearance at the top but there's nowhere else atm.
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.
Didnt know there were different styles. Thought we only got different colours.
Damn dude that sucks.I've had mines for over six hours now but it didn't work out the box.
I'm a bit bummed that "next gen" started with a dud of a console.
This is what the shipping box says.
"The product is a game console that our precious Xbox customers will receive.
They didn't miss a single second to preorder this product on right time.
Dear courier! Please take care of it.
Have a safe day. Thank you."
Handle with Care.

Is the back open? Lay it down so its head is exhausting out the back or front. Thats what I'm doing with mine but I have a door in front of mine (with air holes
I have the same exact furniture and was thinking on put it there as well. The top part is a bit worrying.

More details at the link on workarounds
- Known Issue: If you are using a 4K@120Hz TV that also supports VRR you might encounter no signal or corrupted image when the Xbox is configured for 4K120+VRR. This issue occurs with various TVs from LG, Samsung, or Vizio.
- Workaround:
- Update to the latest firmware on your TV
I just can't imagine latency improvements being that noticeable (im sure it is) but I can't wrap my mind around how much better it could be.Wondering if I should use my beloved Elite Controller (V2) or the new Xbox Series X controller. The latency improvements do sound pretty great.
Looks like I'm gonna be using the Ribbons theme as soon as it's unlocked. Anyone with a console already know if the themes are part of the day one update?
Not sure if this is the best thread to ask but I'll give it a shot.
Over the last gen I had multiple Xbox's but have since sold them. When I go to install a game remotely, it gives me the option to install to two consoles which I don't have anymore.
I've logged into my Microsoft account and there's no Xbox's in there to delete. Any idea how I can get rid of them? I'd prefer to just have my new Series X in there as I think it's trying to automatically download games to one of those two consoles.
Delivery person should arrive within next two hours! It's going to be a looong day. I'll try to power through my tasks for today and log off a bit earlier just to set up the console and start downloading games. ;) Hopefully I'll be able to play something today.
Damn, why am I copying all the important games to my external TODAY? That shit takes a lot of time. Should have done that yesterday...
Doing it this way I'll have the most important games on the external ready to get moved onto the SSD.Not sure if it's worth it for the enhanced games, copying them back to the Series X still requires a huge download on top to "upgrade" then. For old stuff that's just boost mode is fine though.
Do you think we will see big games from last gen get Series X|S enhancements eventually? Thinking big successes like RDR2, Monster Hunter World, that sort of thing.
Fedex says my series x is in ontario at the facility still :(.
Im in Seattle.
