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

[CaptainRAVE]

I picked up a pair of the 700s a couple of weeks ago, tried them on my pc (traded in my xbox a few weeks back) they really sound impressive using the Dolby app, they should sound great when my Series X arrives.

Bought the full version of the app which lets me access Atmos on the series X too

Cheers all

Oh, its not included? I'll definitely be picking that up then. Never even thought to get it on PC. Good to know it links up.

I think Cyberpunk will support it, thats good enough for me

I assume as long its purchased on the same MS account its available to use on the X?

I’m contemplating trading into curry’s. They’re offering £80 for an original Xbox one which I would then put to a set or arctis 9x

Oh didnt know Currys done trade in, just seen the £80 for the Xbox One and £135 for One X

Thats correct up to 6 devices I think, you get a free 7 day trial from the dolby app via the windows store, try it and see if you like it.

Cheers all

I’ve just been down and done it, straight forward, was there about five minutes.

Did you get the money straight away?

I've got an Xbox One S and PS4 Pro to trade in and was going to take them to CEX but been messed around by them in the past having devices all day and not bothering to check them.

You get £230 for it from GAME.

Something interesting to note in favour of the xbox series..

The SSD seems to sit inside a tray and can actually be replaced later down the line.

Wheras the PS5 SSD is soldered with no cooling

It is also interesting to see that the expansion card that can be purchased as an optional extra, comes with a clear idea on cooling, thermal compound on the NAND and controller.

I definitely need to pick up an iPhone controller stand and also the ssd expansion down the line.

Easily replaced by Microsoft when they decide to create a 2TB console SKU in a year or so. The socket appears to be proprietary so I doubt it's something you can do yourself unless you cannibalise one of the memory expansions, in which case you may as well plug one in the back.

I think the point is from a repair perspective it's great, maybe not upgrade. And I don't know if you will be able to install the Xbox is on the external.

You/your mate is welcome. Glad a regular could make use and have to resort to a scalper

 

[CaptainRAVE]

So what are all of your day 1/first couple of weeks games going to be?

I’m fancying Gears 5 (not played), AC Valhalla and then Cyberpunk.

AC Valhalla, Cyberpunk & Sea of thieves

I'd like a 60fps patch for state of decay 2 also.

Probably carry on playing Divinity 2..... lol

 

[eyetrip]

Sorely tempted by cyberpunk, but part of me wants to wait for the upgraded version

 

[Zeebedy]

Currently got, on pre-order : watch dogs, ac Valhalla, cod and cyberpunk. Should be good till the turn of the year along with the Xbox one games..
