Anyone order from Argos? how did it go and who delivered it?

I had no update via email or text, account didn't say out for delivery. Just came via UK mail

Think MS servers re getting hammered speeds are all over the place

Most of my downloads will be done overnight.

Still no AC Valhalla delivery - at least I can download it ready I guess.

 

[Ysmalari]

Oh so cruel, mine has arrived, got it setup and stuck my WD Legion disc in it and the next gen update is 37GB!

Still, I've never been so excited to watch download progress

I’m getting a solid 600-650Mbps on all of my downloads. It’s not using my full bandwidth though which is annoying.

Make sure you close all games when downloading or it runs at about 80Mbps.

What the hell to play first. There must be 300 games on here as part of game pass ultimate, and 83 EA PLAY Titles.

 

[McBain]

Fired up AC:V and my word it's glorious and silky smooth, impressed.

 

[chrcoluk]

Woo! It's like Christmas

congrats, I was hoping to be the first one to show S box.

No quick resume on FH4.... seriously?

seemed a little juttery for me on the first section, but it's most liekly my tv not being set up right!

Looks like my luck is going to be out;

Microsoft order via UPS sat in the depot since 4am with no update.
Amazon order is as with others likely to be tomorrow.

Wasted days holiday.

Came 5mins ago. To my mums address 20miles away. Lucky we need shopping

At least you know where it is now! Did your Mum get the texts for tracking instead of you?

Finally the interface doesn't feel slow and clunky!

 

[HeX]

Well mines all set up, plugged in my external SSD and it's picked up the games and what needs updating so I've left it doing that while I get back to work. Looking forward to testing out some games this evening

I posted mine yesterday afternoon.

I've downloaded Ori and the forest, Resident Evil Biohazard, Forza and Fallout. That'll keep me busy until COD/Cyberpunk. Didn't even look at EA yet.

Its a dream isnt it! So smooth.

The clunkiness and delay in the interface/dashboard and the loading times are why i didnt have a very long time owning an Xbox One X. Gave up after a few months and went back to PC.

This time around that NVME drive is making the whole experience brilliant. Games load in no time at all. I think possibly even faster than my PC!

Gears 5 or FH4. Optimised so should give an idea of performance uplift over last gen. Pick whichever type is your preference to play.

My S is all set up now. I even linked it to my Amazon Echo so I can shout at it (I was one of the five people who liked the Kinect, purely for UI navigation though). Just waiting for FH4 to install.

I'm not sure but I'd expect so

Early/Mid December for PC I believe.
