I've been keeping an eye out periodically for availability, and just managed to get a pre-order in on the Game site - they are suggesting availability from March 26th, so might be worth a look if anyone is still trying to order...

I tried to pre order yet again with game. Filled all my details in and it gets to the last bit and says try a different payment method. Ah well I'm not to fussed anymore.

Finally got my hands on a Series X today. Pretty shocking how hard they are to get hold of even this long after launch. Only got it because Argos were randomly stocking shops rather than doing delivery and one happened to be at my local shop so quickly jumped on it.

  A terrible one
Just decided to check on the Halo Infinite launch date (and corresponding limited edition console) and all pre-sales are sold out! FYI console is 15th Nov, Halo Infinite is 8th Dec.

I watched the event live and pre-ordered a console as soon as it went online, would have been gutted if I missed it as I have never missed a Halo edition of anything lol

Now I need to sell my launch Series X!

Pretty sure that won’t be an issue given the supply issues people are still having.

Yep I wouldn't be surprised if you get back what you paid or near enough. Especially if there's still stock issues leading up to Christmas.

I really need to do more with mine than just replay Banjo Kazooie for the 20th time... [emoji23]

Haha, I’ve been playing through Conkers Bad Fur Day! Absolute classic!

Psyconaughts 2 is worth a download if u have gamepass.

Afternoon chaps, OK this is the situation:

I have a PS5, But I really want to play flight simulator.

I've not had an XBox since the 360 many moons ago, and am not fussed about running from a disc. Also my TV is not 4K and I'm not thinking about upgrading it for the next few years.

Therefore would the Series X with the all access route @ ~£20/m be a good shout? Am I missing something?

I clearly mean the S, not the X :S

Personally I would recommend going for the X. Whilst it does cost more it also offers a significant bump in performance for a bit of future-proofing and for the time when you do perhaps decide to go 4K. It also offers improvements over and above what the S can deliver with Flight Simulator (predominantly improved levels of detail) - even at 1080p.

I don’t use my original Xbox that much but there’s a few games coming out soon that I want to play so I’m considering an upgrade.

Where's the best (cheapest) place to buy games for the Series S or can you only buy though Microsoft store?
I think you can buy keys from the likes of CD Keys.

But I'd recommend Game Pass Unlimited, especially if you get 3 years of gold and then convert it.

Thank you, I have games pass currently, I'm looking for COD which isn't on games pass but I'm reluctant to spend the £60 or so it is for the game when I'll only realistically play the campaign!

Presume it's this?


So a little cheaper.

Afternoon, stupid question I expect but I think I've finally been given permission to spend money I earn on myself so was going to get a new Xbox finally.

I have been reading some stuff and it keeps mentioning games that are Series X exclusive. Does this mean that they won't work on the Series S?

I’m pretty sure games are Series S/X exclusive due to the newer hardware.

However, if I was looking to buy now I’d go with the X. It’s a big jump up from the S.

Microsoft, if they are to be believed, have committed to the Series S and X for the near future - hence most (if not all) titles that are exclusive to X will also be playable on S, although degraded to some level to account for the drop in hardware capability. @Daz... speaks the truth. It's worth going for the X as it IS a significant upgrade over the S and will prove to be the better purchase long-term. With the economy in the state it's in, and ridiculous component prices, I can't see any of the major console players releasing their next-gen consoles for a few years yet.
