It was direct from Walmart. Normal retail price and it was from one of the batches they announced in advance. It feels like they sent me something that was previously returned. Since they don't have stock, they only offer refunds instead of replacements which is useless right now.
I went with a cheaper SSD to use, moved all non enhanced games over to it. UI makes it easy
Not stick, but it feels like it gets caught on something randomly
For 1080p gaming it should be ok, if you dont care about no disc drive and limited storage, sure.
Enjoy, lucky you can find one there!
Congrats! Is your username related to Steph or the food?
It's super loud and it will do random spins / reads. I wish I went digital, to be honest.
The UI on this is so clean and easy to use but if you go on Twitter, it's like rocket science
can't you just not use it? I went DE so idk if that's possible.
really debating this. I have the credit sitting in my amazon account, but I feel like I don't "need" it yet. I uninstalled Gears 5 after finishing Hivebusters to save space, and Valhalla since I wasn't currently playing it, but part of me wishes I could just keep it installed anyway
Sure, it's an option. I am just saying the Series X doesn't really have the issues I have had. I like my PS5, don't get me wrong, I was just immediately more impressed with the Series X.
oh I'm 100% with you. the XSX is a more polished package. I haven't turned my PS5 on in like two weeks lol. XSX gets daily use
Maybe it's because I have a DE, so the disk isn't even an option, but while my series x has gotten more use because of gamepass and catching up on Xbox one titles I've missed, my PS5 feels more like the polished console. I think the 4K menu, demon souls, and lack of controller issues (my series x trigger jams sometimes and at least once every couple of days one of them stop responding) just have made when I switch over to play on my ps5 feel more next-gen-y. Also I have a LG CX and the Xbox for some reason isn't turning it off or on when I turn on the console, little things like that just add up. Either way though, game pass and the power make it a joy despite all the rough edges I've had so far. I'm looking at it as an investment on all the great future titles coming down the line and I feel like gamepass has just made me so much more likely to play a game now and then. Plus I never thought I'd care about this stuff, but all the little social things, weekly videos, etc on Xbox live are really nice.
I also have a DE—the barebones feel of the PS5 OS hasn't done it any favors. sure, it's 4K, but honestly the 1080p UI on the XSX doesn't look low res to me, my TV upscales it well and the AA used makes everything look nice.
Yeah I never understood the 4K image UI thing. I think if digital foundry never said a word, nobody would even notice a difference between the two
I honestly find these types of QOL features, ( that does the heavy lifting for you, like auto sync 10 yr old progress ) one of the best aspects of Xbox eco system, it sets it apart from all others. It's a shock not having this experience replicated elsewhere.
Next time just try to unplug and plug back the HDMI to see if it's just a handshake issue (sometimes switching sources can resolve this too).Sometimes when waking up my Series X the screen shows this:
And every time it's freaking me out. Simply putting it to sleep and waking it up again solves the issue.
Anyone else experiencing this? Should I be worried or could this be simply an HDMI handshake problem?
