It’s due for delivery between 7 and 8. Just a shame I won’t be playing it all day as I’ve got 2 uni assignments which need finishing and handing in for tomorrow.

Great that Xbox are now allowing you to predownload games on the app too! Took me nearly 2 days of WiFi downloading Cold War. But I’ve learnt that lesson now and gone cabled.

About 10 hours into cyberpunk now, It's frozen a few times, had one crash back to the dashboard and had the odd bug with traffic, people appearing/disappearing into thin air


Not bad going by what some of the Internet will have you beleive but I guess the older consoles will be struggling a lot more with it

The Game Awards just showed Microsoft Flight Simulator running in 4K on the Xbox Series X.

Oh and I forgot to say... PERFECT DARK has also been announced for Xbox - coming to GamePass on Day One!! Man this has been a very good night for gaming. Absolutely awesome!!

Lol some people have been speculating Halo to have a BR mode even though the developer says no afaik so that'll keep them happy.

Perks of a streaming service really, no BS! Kinda perfect for single player games!!

Updates at the back end also. Practically sells itself.

Ms flight, what’s the map? The world? Or has it just chosen popular places?

It's streamed on-the-fly from dedicated servers hence needs a good, stable Internet connection.

So .. I want to upgrade my XBOX. I'm not a serious gamer and will just play the latest COD until I get bored and maybe a few other odd games throughout the year.

I would love to play things in 4K but I don't think my TV would support true 4K gaming at the moment, I will be upgrading my TV in the near future though when I move ouse.

Now, the question is - do I buy the Series S which I can get today or do I hold out for the Series X in a few months time? Am i going to notice any difference playing the current version of COD on the series S for example?

 

[-Jamie-]

Just hold off and get an X when stock is better, The S isn't a huge step up from the previous gen rewlly

 

[Daz.]

Pointless getting an s in my opinion.

 

[.Simon]

I actually went and got an S as they had stock nearby and I can still get good money for my old XBOX and games - it's certainly snappier than the original!

 

[SharkyUK]

The Series S is a considerable step-up from the One X and very capable in its own right. Enjoy!

 

[DeeKay86]

Genuinely surprised at some stuff being said about the Series S on here. It’s not a huge step up? Why? Because it’s not a 4K console?

The Series S is a 1080p/1440p beast of a machine, especially for the price. It wipes the floor with last gen. If you have no interest in 4K gaming, the S is a great machine.

However if you want all the bells and whistles, 4K etc, then the Series X is certainly worth every penny.

Both machines are very very capable.

Do we have any non biased reviews on the console then?

I haven't seen much about it in terms of overall reviews

Got my Series X a few weeks ago and been LOVING IT. After months of failing on restocks I got lucky on Very.

Just downloading the AC:Valhalla update, sounds ace. Started it on my Launch Edition One and finished the story on my Series X.
What a game!

 

[RSRowe]

I haven't touched mine for weeks having downloaded Warzone on my University Laptop (stupid mistake).
I need a new game to excite me I think.

It’s definitely smoothed some of the cutscenes, plus there’s quite a bit more content 😍

I downloaded (GamePass), and played through, The Medium over the weekend. I have to confess that I actually enjoyed it, despite not having high expectations for it initially. I found the story reasonably interesting (if somewhat cliched and predictable given the horror-survival genre) and the gameplay felt reminiscent of Silent Hill, Alone in the Dark and Resident Evil. It's certainly clunky in places and there's a fair bit of repetition (run away from X, find the key / lever for Y) but it managed to keep me entertained.

I did experience a fair bit of graphical corruption at times, although not to the point whereby the system crashed. I'm not sure if this is a bug with the game due to it's incredibly taxing requirements, or if may have a mildly defective Xbox Series X. The 'split' nature of the game (along with ray tracing) means it is effectively doubling the rendering costs when in 'split' mode.

EDIT: Graphics corruption is a known issue, not my Xbox unit. Phew.

They do look smart. I’ve been thinking of getting a fresh set for a while, but my turtle beach’s still work perfectly.

 

[boultonn]

Not bad looking that...
Been looking at getting a Series S and a wireless headset for some occasional gaming with my Xbox fwends when we wanna play something that doesn't have PC crossplay.
Steelseries make some banging kit though... https://steelseries.com/gaming-headsets/arctis-9x

Currys, Shopto.net, Argos, Very, Game, Smyths.

They're all still struggling with stock but have random drops every now and then.
