Poll: *** Xbox Series X|S - General Discussion Thread ***

[Demon]

Had my email this morning so quickly used the code and paid..

I wasn't going to bother but with my 3080's not likely to turn up this side of Xmas and a great Gamepass catalogue to work through, I think I'll get a lot of use out of the Series X coming up to and over Xmas..

Just need to see if any 120hz projectors are coming out now, I am in the latter stages of a home cinema/gaming room and just getting around to fitting the screen, alas my projector is only faux 4k and 60hz..

Just cancelled my Amazon XSX pre-order, dunno how it works but maybe keep an eye on stock there if anyone is still looking?

I was 900th(ish) in the Curry's ordering. I've just received the email and paid for my XSX

 

[CHokKA]

I've not had an email for either of my pre-orders yet.

For those doing Curry's, TopCashBack have 5% on at Curry's at the moment as well. It'd be awesome if it calculated that on the £2500 total price lol!

Not had any emails either; was hoping to see some side-by-side comparisons with the XSX and RTX 3080 before making a decision. I know the 3080 will be a big leap, but question is whether it's enough for me to really care to go with PC/PS5 vs XSX/PS5.

Curry's received and paid, lets hope we get top cash back too lol

Just cancelled my Series S pre-order.

Been debating this one for a few weeks. At the end of the day, my PC is next to my TV, and will leave the Series S for dust. So it makes little sense to buy new games on XSS. I'd basically just wind up using it for games that are Xbox-only (or Game Pass titles that are Xbox-only). But I've already got a One S for those (which I won't sell, as it drives an old monitor in the bedroom), so I'd be spending £249 for frame rate/resolution improvements. It just isn't worth it.

I'll look at it again next year and maybe nab a Series X and 4K TV. Can't stretch to that right now.

Curry's order received and paid for, fingers crossed all goes well and we get it on release date.

 

[eyetrip]

Order with Curry's done.

As above, fingers and all else crossed!

Hmmm still had nothing from Currys starting to get worried now

Nothing here either. They said up to 8pm but yeah, thirteen minutes away seems rather unlikely now.

Anyone got the subject of the email from curry's? Just going to check spam filters etc. again

Thanks, definitely not had anything, not impressed i'm at the back of the queue now!

 

[crazy8s]

I am still conflicted whether I want to go with a dual console or PC/PS5 combo for next-gen. Recently purchased Game Pass Ultimate so will want to make the most of it.

Damn these new graphics cards for launching so late!

Nothing from Currys here. I was 200 in the queue

Will just keep having to check

My pre order reference was in the 22k range, not sure that has any bearing though

I don't think position has anything to do with it. It appears it's all being done by a network of hamsters running in wheels to generate the numbers, squirrels running the numbers over to monkeys, and then the monkeys then input the numbers into a computer and then send an email to us individually. It gives it a more personal touch. As an experiment for Currys, it has most definitely failed.
