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

    I've changed my vote in the poll from "S" as I am now looking to get an X. Mrs. EMarkM has realised that she would still use the bluray drive on it, plus we have convinced each other that the X will be a little more "future proof". With that said, we have a 1080P Hitachi TV and a Panasonic...

    This. This is the answer. I would much rather have non-proprietary batteries.

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

    I'm pretty sure I remember playing the first two Call of Duty games online with my pals on the Xbox. World Wars I and II? They were really good, and had pretty fair single player modes too. I have to confess I have never felt moved to touch any of the rest of them since.

    Well, at the very least, you need to “check it’s working”. And, of course, not starting to use it straightaway is wasting the warranty...

    Christmas presents I don't want

    I'm in my late forties. Via parents, partners, friends, etc. over the years, I've received quite a few things that were either misjudged, inappropriate or simply not what I wanted. But I'm the kind of person who gets a massive buzz from telling other people that they've done well and really...

    It would have to be, wouldn't it? :D

    Are you going to change your WFH routine when the clocks change?

    I have to agree: there’s a lot of media speculation but no official announcement. You’d think someone would have the courtesy to tell us!

    Hmmm, interesting, that. As a potential, nay, likely S purchaser, I’m starting to need some cold, hard facts regarding its performance.

    License question - CBT? [One year update]

    So, to keep OP Hades interested, what are we all riding? I started in around 1991, and have had a fair few bikes. One of my favourites was my A reg GPZ 750 - a real classic :) We currently have the little Honda CMX 500 twin Rebel - a nice, relaxing bobber to pobble around on :)

    Are you going to change your WFH routine when the clocks change?

    I mentioned this on the previous page, but no one seemed to agree :D Even though the UK is leaving the EU (no further discussion about that), because of the fact that northern and southern Ireland are physically joined and remain with a very close relationship, it wouldn't make sense for the UK...

    License question - CBT? [One year update]

    Well done so far! That clutch control will come with just a little more practice, as will things like using your back brake for slow manoeuvres and hill starts. Enjoy it :)

    Are you going to change your WFH routine when the clocks change?

    We won’t have to think about it for too much longer: doesn’t the UK’s time zone change to BST permanently in March?

    The Good ol' days

    Ha! I remember spending minutes at a time just connected to the AOL home screen, with no other purpose in mind than simply "being", "existing", whatever - perhaps hoping that either someone would spot me or that something magical would happen. HA HA!

    *The Official PlayStation 5 (PS5) Thread*

    @Chris1712 : Yep, I totally get that. For me, there’s so much stuff on GamePass that I never got around to playing that I feel it will be a long time before I need to buy any games :)

    *The Official PlayStation 5 (PS5) Thread*

    I still can’t bring myself to choose PlayStation instead of Xbox this time, despite not owning or even touching an Xbox since my original issue 360. But I still want the PS5 to do well, if for no other reason than healthy competition, and I genuinely hope that all who obtain one enjoy it to...
