Man, I'm shocked by how quiet this thing is. After having a base PS4 for 5 years, it's really surprising.
I was just saying to my cousin that MS made both S consoles better looking than their X counterparts.
Anybody else have a clicking coming from their Series X? You have to get pretty close to it to hear (maybe about 8 inches)... I'm guessing its the fan, but I have it and its a little worrying.
It's on a per-game basis. MS can disable it for games where it doesn't work well or detracts from the original artistic intent.
Anyone else find the mobile app a bit glitchy?
They made me use it to set up the series x for the first time, and that was fine, but afterwards now that the console is setup and working, the mobile app still doesn't think a console is paired to it. I can select set up a new console or add existing one. If I hit add existing, it tells me to turn my console on and wait, and it's already on and signed in... so nothing happens.

Came home after work, and my Valhalla 46 GB upgrade was still at 15%.
Ok so the whole move your BC games from your old xbox ext hdd is not working at all for me. Ive set Series S to my home xbox, but when I try to launch any BC game off the usb hdd it says it needs to finish installing and go online, WTF.
Its supposed to be plug and play, so whats wrong. Anyone got this working?

Yeah same for me. Couldn't get it to recognize that I was signed in.
If I had to play a Beat Em Up using it, if my door wasn't shut, I feel like the loud clicking noises could wake up my wife lol. No idea why they're not more dampened. Then again, the analogues are pretty loud too lol.
Yeah def real loud, for context I was listening to MinnMaxx with my airpod pros in and could still hear the clicking
Have you got a game open? It caps your download if you do.
Mine's maxing out my download speed atm
I haven't actually played a game on it yet but as a person that thought the sluggishness of the OneX UI was unbearable Series X is buttery smooth and fast. I'm not going to tell you you should spend 500 bucks for a quicker UI to get to netflix or hulu but I'm also not going to act like It wasn't an immediate relief
Same thing happened to me, hooked up to the new Xbox and was surprised that there was very little on the external. I thought OK, maybe those are on the internal of the old one. Hooked up the external to the old one and everything I thought that was there was on there. The Series X isn't reading all of the contents on the external for some reason
Sorry for the confusing description. Basically new Xbox is not reading all of the games on the external that the old one did
Guess so, but I don't know.
It'll cap your download to like 30Mb/s if you have a game open so that it's not affecting online games. It's not clever enough to tell if you're actually playing online or not so just caps it if a game is running.
Have you figured out a solution, by chance? The game I wanted to play most was downloaded this morning but is MIA on the External now. I didn't want to have it downloaded "twice"
OK with Tetris Effect not closed, but also not running (if that makes sense), I was getting 18mb download speeds. When I started Lumines, and then immediately closed Lumines, my download speeds jumped to 250mb. So I'm assuming it took starting and closing another app for Tetris Effect to not be in memory running and to simply be in Game Swap, thus allowing download speeds to increase?
idk about 10 mins but mine took long enough that it made me uncomfortable. Was fine in the end tho
I tried Streets of Rage 4 with auto hdr and it did not look good. The ui is way off, far too bright.
but idk if that's just my monitor or my settings because the settings menu's hdr calibration is weird. the two options for whiteness don't seem to do anything. It says to move the slider until you can barely see these shapes or whatever and no matter what it's just pure white.

For what its worth, my first boot was very quick other than the forced system update.
Question: does the Xbox refer to downloading as "installing?" I have different games downloading right now - some from GamePass, some that I'd bought years ago and are now re-downloading - and the system refers to it as "Installing... [insert mbps speed]." Does this terminology refer to something different than just a regular download?
Also, is it fair to assume that the servers are being hit pretty hard right now? I'm well under my network's max download speed, and my ISP doesn't throttle as far as I know.

Yeah, sounds like it.
You could also force quit games by hitting start (the hamburger) on their icon and hitting quit if you want to instead of opening another game (forgive me if this is preaching to the choir, I don't know how familiar you are with the dash)
Thanks, now I'll understand what this is all about and play with my nephews.
Yeah, I just didnt want to let go of my round of Tetris Effect.
Installing/downloading are the same on Xbox. There is no visible 'install'. Once something is downloaded, you can boot it. You don't get downloading then installing/copying.
Not really sure as I only got two installed atm, so can easily see those two
My RDR2 had reset my HDR settings. Check they're not on Cinematic and, if they are, switch to 'Game' and mess with the brightness settings. It's tons better.
Haven't been able to play anything yet, but I did set up the console at lunch today... disappointed that the UI looks identical! I don't have this sense of disappointment when I upgrade my phone... but I expected some new razzle dazzle with the UI. I'm sure the game performance will soften this blow.
So I ordered two xboxes (legit purchases, not reselling) one from Microsoft Store and one from Target and FedEx will not make delivery today on either of them. FedEx really sucks.
(Now ended) Stream (Jason Plays) of No Man's Sky on Xbox Series X, with optimization patch. Looks so much better than the One X version. He says that the game feels like PC and is basically locked at 60 fps. Draw distance is very good and the pop-in is no where near as noticeable as on the One X. Still has a few moments of low-res textures, but greatly reduced.
No but I kind of gave up until tomorrow. If I come across one before then I'll post it here
Enjoying everything so far. My only complaint is Forza Horizon 4's Series X update lacks the option for Long or Short Motion Blur like the PC version and since it's locked to 60fps with no option to go back to 30fps the motion blur looks dramatically worse imo.
Glad I found your post as I thought I was going crazy trying to set this up. Shame it doesn't work with wireless or Bluetooth for now as I only have one USB-C cable and its for my spouses phone charger so I need to get another one.
