Wrong thread

So not quite useful given this is an NZ site but we've got access to the expansion cards at $380NZD which equates to ~195GBP:

https://www.mightyape.co.nz/product...pansion-card-for-xbox-series-x-and-s/33885604

Better than I though given the price of Gen 4 SSDs at the moment... and cheaper than what a PS5 can expand with over here.

So looks like the card is actually a Gen4 x2 ssd and not x4

https://www.hardwaretimes.com/xbox-series-x-storage-expansion-will-use-pcie-4-0-x2-seagate-reveals/

same bandwidth as Gen3x4 but latest gen.. can't find any SSDs in this config, they're all Gen4x4... so price isn't quite right... still expensive in comparison to Gen3s... hpefully not so custom that the price can drop.

Any suggestions on where I can sell or trade in my old Xbox one x ?

 

[Cryfreeman]

Oh Dragon Quest XI out for the Xbox December 4th. Gamepass as well . Things just get better

 

[Django x2]

I wouldn't listen too much to Djangox2, he's openly admitted to pre-ordering 6 Xbox's to sell on for profit, thus denying 5 people the chance to purchase at the normal £450 price

6? I'm up to 10 now.

Clearly just trolling.

so who is taking the 10th November off work?

I don't think I've ever taken a day off work for a game since 2004 when I played WOW. I've grown up since though (kinda).

Nah, I’ll be booking the week of 23rd November off though as then Cyberpunk will be out and I’ll have all my new toys.

Picked up a 4m HDMI 2.1 cable. I assume the one that comes with X is shorter than that.

Do you have a TV that supports 2.1? Or was it just the length of it that made you buy it?

No, but I figured I’d get 2.1 anyway and it’s the length I need.

 

[Noxia]

No, but I figured I’d get 2.1 anyway and it’s the length I need.

Fair enough, was just curious as there aren't many models that support it yet to my knowledge.

I had the email walkthrough to re-order which went through fine, however i hadn't heard anything about the £20 voucher? Is that due in a separate email?

My voucher came through about an hour and a half after the email with instructions.

Aaand on the ignore list you go.

 

[Noxia]

Is there a rule against having more than one XBL account? I have an old one, but I setup a new Microsoft account/XB with a new email but using same phone number as my original. When I went to login today it said my account was locked, I unlocked it fine but I don't know why it was locked in the first place.

So, I'm pretty much settling on xbss and game pass

I'm a little out of touch with what is and isn't interconnected anymore.

If I got ac valhalla on xbox, does that automatically give me access to it on pc these days? Or is that just first party titles?

I already have a voucher for pc version having bought Ryzen 3900xt, but was wondering if any version would give me access across platforms?

Same here, don't see the point booking a day off for a console launch, especially if it turns up late in the day. From the 21st onwards hopefully will have new console and cyberpunk to enjoy all week, I'm looking forward to the game more than the console if i'm honest.

Mine is actually arriving to work
