Funnily enough, on Sunday I completely rewired my Internet so the router is in the TV stand. This gen I intend to be wired.
Always been WiFi before, but I felt that it would be a good idea given he increase in game size and my tendency to play online shooters
But yeah - I reckon most people are on WiFi as to be fair modern Internet connections with WiFi are pretty good.
Oh dear. Did you order the correct console? Mine definitely shows as an Xbox Series X! What's your warranty information?
Ordered an Xbox Series X and PS5 as I couldn't decide which I wanted (still unsure tbh!). Xbox is being delivered today but is anyone else finding themselves tempted to sell back on again? There aren't any games I'm desperate to play just yet (albeit I'd like to play COD/Dirt5) and the premium they're fetching at the moment is tempting to pocket...

I have it in my possession 
Now I just need AC.
I'm like a kid at Christmas. The only difference being I can buy it when I want

I haven't received mine yet, but it's there as 'Xbox Series X - 1TB' with the serial number, etc. visible when I click on it.
I remember one in the box with my One but oh well.
like a woman then - with a man for years and still complains about the length
A button seems fine but I think I prefer the Xbox One controller, this one feels less bulky to me.
Well I have a Series X set up in my living room so I definitely got the right console. Lol
Warranty is until December next year.
Ok wow just went on the game website to see if there was a slight chance to nab a series x.
Placed in a que for about 15mins, my turn came...sweaty palms as last time it crashed at that point. Website said add to basket, I did, went through to the payment screen and entered my payment details expecting it to crash out on me.
BUT NOPE IT WENT THROUGH!!!! And I now have a series x in order. Just checked my account details on game to make sure and lo and behold it is there. Only issue is that I’ve been charged £10 for delivery but at this moment I just do not care, I just want the damn console lol.
Haven’t received any emails saying my order has been confirmed so I’m not going to get too carried away just yet. As anything could happen ie they could cancel it but I hope to god they don’t.
So if anyone wants a series x then get on game and hopefully you may get lucky. I didn’t expect that nearly 4 hrs later I would be able to nab one.

Picked my Series X up from GAME about 9.30, no queue so nice and quick. Still plenty in bags ready for collection.
A lot smaller than I was expecting. Feels quality though. Pad feels lovely alittle smaller.
Only issue is the disk drive doesn't sound right at all
Install modern warfare from disk and it's rattling, buzzing it's working but doesn't sound healthy.
I'll try a blue ray later and another game disk when assassin's creed Valhalla turns up.

Ethernet cable
My X has arrived, at my workplace. Just need it to make its way to me now.
The streaming is still laggy on the new consoles, and a bit blurry even on maximum detail. I'm glad I got an S for the office to go along with the X in the living room.
I asked the question earlier about Dolby Atmos, it's free for speaker usage. £14 for headset.
Initial impressions:
1. Very quiet, UI is so much snappier than the One X
2. Download speeds are great, im maxing my 100Mb Virgin connection which my One X never did over Ethernet
3. Setup super easy, expansion card plug and play
Downloading AC:V, FH4 and Borderlands 3 as they're all Series optimised so will add gaming impressions later
