I have a Series X scheduled for delivery on Tuesday which is great but there is no new killer games to pair with it. Not sure what I am going play on it which is a first for me on a new console release.

I'll be playing Snowrunner on mine, it will just load faster than on the XB1X. Along with the other games I have installed on my XB1X and some gamepass games I haven't played.

I might pick up Dirt 5 & Valhalla when cdkeys get the US versions back in, or just buy some US credit.

I'll buy Ride 4 & Cyberpunk when the upgraded versions arrive.

Flippin' heck. If I was to ditch my PC at some point and rebuy just a portion of my Steam library on Xbox (basically some of the games missing from Game Pass), it would cost me £1339.60 right now with the Xbox store digital pricing. Gulp. And this is games from the Xbox 360 generation!

I am guessing the disney+ thing is a perk. Maybe you get a few months free or something ( they did that with spotify recently).

I am very happy about that though as i would love to see season 2 of the mandalorian. Watched the first season on a 7 day free trial lol.


However, if it is a mandalorian game announcement, that will equally be awesome. When i watched season 1 i said to my partner how they could make such a good open world RPG out of the universe/lore.

It's an amazing design. I was wondering if board manufacturers will adopt the split board design for HTPCs etc in the future. It could lead to some interesting things!

Possibly but I'd guess it would be for similar systems to Corsair one etc. The design is so specialised with its solid aluminium spine and component arrangement, you would have a seriously limited set of cooling and components if you tried to make split boards for retail.

Would be cool though!

Yeah I know it would be pretty niche. I was wondering whether companies like MSI etc that make their own boards and laptops would start building barebones shells with a mobo inside with a similar design. It certainly seems to be an efficient cooling solution!

Is there the ability to remote play an xbsx using an xbox one s?

Not that I'm sure worth it depending on quality, but could be a nice way of not needing to shift the console between two rooms

And while everyone is getting their dispatch emails, as per usual, Amazon are the party poopers in all this. Still no money taken.

No shipping updates overnight from UPS, guess MS are sending them out for launch date :(

Also does anyone have a question for Aaron Greenberg? I'm supposed to have one as part of this xSuite thing...

I don't know who he is, but I posted a question a few posts back about remote play
