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

[CHokKA]

So my dispatch email I just received says it will be delivered Wednesday now but the Amazon app still says tomorrow.

I'd go with what the app says tbh. It's usually a live feed.

 

[Django x2]

ShopTo X, Amazon X and S and Argos S all showing as delivery tomorrow. Will have to go to Tesco to get the other S which means queuing with the commoners, but hey ho...

 

[RedStarRiot]

Dispatched to arrive tomorrow via Amazon.

Also got £10 off a controller so treating myself to the Elite 2 and 40% off game pass which was pretty cool

Edit: I ran out of storage space. Don't install 100+ GB unoptimized XBox One games on the internal drive.

That was quick!

 

[BuffetSlayer]

This is what I got last week.

Yep - exact same email as me. I received it Tuesday last week. Then I got a text from argos today saying my delivery is tomorrow and a tracking number will be with me by this evening. About half an hour later I got a text from DHL with a tracking link on it.

I have read that if Argos have taken your money and you received that email last week then it should be a day one delivery. Could be some issue with their text service. I've had it recently for deliveries from other couriers where text updates have come through almost a week after the stuff was delivered!

Have you tried live chat?

My UPS tracking from Microsoft just says by end of day, but my friend not 100 yards away, gets a 4 hour window.

Strange.

 

[bodybag]

I haven't got anything from Argos either or DHL doesn't look good for getting the console tomorrow.

Im in the same boat, ordered on the day of pre-orders from argos and since nothing at all. It's stating to sit tight! and my order is on its way...

Was the 40% off Game Pass in the same email? I've had the £10 off the controller but nothing about Game Pass, very nice discount that is too!

Picked mine up, first impressions are it's smaller and heavier than I expected (maybe I've prepped myself too much for the size of the PS5 on Thursday). Not so sure about the controller, the dpad is very clicky but I've got a series 1 elite so will likely stick with that.

Will be firing up AC:Valhalla later so should have a bit more to report back on.

I'm playing on mine right now

Edit: I ran out of storage space. Don't install 100+ GB unoptimized XBox One games on the internal drive.

I've had my tracking info through now, have you?

 

[RedStarRiot]

It was a separate email, got it not long after my console dispatched. Maybe around 8pm-ish

 

[mcdermotx]

Lovely and quiet system I have to say (the X, won't try the S till tomorrow)
Always a subjective claim of course.....but improving upon the One X is excellent going. Bit of heat, but nothing to note TBH, whether that holds true in a few months we shall see, but a very impressive device.
Of course, when the proper nextgen stuff arrives and the machine is put through the ringer, then we'll see whats what.
Pad is OK, but always used the Elites, so will end up back using one I think. Its not bad or anything, just the same old, same old.

 

[Kreeeee]

That was quick!

More of the older games need to be Series enhanced. Halo 5 should only take up 40GB but it takes up 100GB due to the duplication of data everywhere.

Nice, if Amazon ever despatch my X I will hopefully get the same email! I've got until November 21 already but might top up if I can get some nice discount.

I'd imagine you will! Just a heads up my dispatch email said the 11th but website says 10th

Nope!

What games have you tried on it?

It's just because it's inefficient to install games designed for a spindle drive on an SSD, no other reason.

Finally had a full amazon dispatch email
