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

It's fine, all this latest low latency nonsense is a just way to squeeze more money out of gamers.

My headset goes headphone jack out, transmitter and then BT headphones, still only a tiny tiny delay.

It’s not good enough for me, and I am far from a pro.

 

[Alpherah]

Considering how impossible the X is - anyone using an S on a 4K tv? Does it upscale decently?

 

[Simon]

I prob could have bought 5 since getting mine on 29th december. Do you have stock/part alerts setup?

 

[Alpherah]

Yeah via stock informer but by the time I get to check out it’s always gone

As soon as I post this I get one! Haha

I was going to say you are not alpha enough but got there in the end my young padawan.

Game taking pre orders but they don’t let you buy the console by itself unless on the monthly plan. Very annoying

Is this why I cant add to basket, spent ages doing Captcha's and signing up, eventually get there and cant add it to basket

Ditto - i don't want the junk. I'd settle just for an extra controller for around £45 (which i don't really need as i have already).

It better be worth the effort once i do get one

 

[Simon]

Can you take a monthly then pay it outright after a few weeks?

 

[Martynt74]

It's 0% interest, it's just they charge full price for GP Ultimate , so works out quite expensive i think vs just buying the console and doing thr GP Ultimate for £1 thing.

Think it's around £700 over 2 years in total.

 

[rdb2012]

Yeah, hopefully Amazon will have some this week.

 

[MOOGLEYS]

Retailers are jumping on the bundles now they have stock but force you into a bundle of stuff at or above RRP. Makes them more money I suppose...

it depends on the game I feel. I just started The Witcher 3 and it should be 1080p but it looks absolutely incredible. Same with The Medium. In fact most Xbox One games look better than you’d think. The only one I’ve been disappointed in so far is Batman Arkham Knight which looks horrible. Xbox 360 titles which got X-enhanced like Red Dead Redemption play at 1440p as well.

Red Dead 1 is native 4k.

 

[elh_2009]

Im getting tempted to pick up a X next time i see one, i have a PS5 and Swicth but gamepass with the enhanced games is appealing

On Series X, yes but not S.

Batman looks horrible on the X too.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

I'll be happier when more games are lifted to 60fps.

 

[ic1male]

It's the rain effects and particles, they look much clearer in 4K on PC. The 900p on Xbox is too low for the effects.

Red Dead 1 is native 4k.

is it worth playing RD1? I still play RD2 online at the moment but keen to experience the full story. Bit concerned the mechanics or controls etc might be a naff.
