Still in the queue for game..... Can't see me getting one.

 

[maddness]

ah ok cheers

console arrived

Well, I've got to laugh at all the comments on the Internet about it looking like a fridge in terms of size. It's tiny and incredibly impressive. It's got some weight to it as well, presumably from the heat sink that I've seen is rather large. And oh man, it's so quiet!

Just moving some Game Pass games across from my external NVMe drive, then I'll be giving something a go. Also got AC Valhalla installing now. Can't wait to give that a go too!

I was in the queue for two hours and when I got to the screen it said no stock. This was about half an hour ago.

Damn, less than a min to copy 17GB Sea of Thieves is insane!

 

[antijoke]

Got to shift MW/Warzone to my internal drive to see how it performs.

 

[Zeebedy]

That little Xbox logo light is awesome! Did you get that just for being there, or did you have to buy it?

I bought it separately a few weeks back, just thought it fitting to put in with the new console!

Its a dream isnt it! So smooth.

Yeah, its great! Hopefully the PS5 will be the same.

Good to have HDMI-CEC too, now all my devices sync with power.

 

[rickjames]

ARRIVED. WOO. However, I'm less than an impressed with a big tear on the side of the box...

 

[maddness]

this console is heavy !!

 

[chrismscotland]

Been out all day; come in and just as I load this thread UPS buzz the door, woo

 

[Kreeeee]

Damn, less than a min to copy 17GB Sea of Thieves is insane!

It takes less than 10 seconds to do the same between the internal SSD and external official memory expansion.

My very order has arrived but my amazon order has only just shipped now for delivery tomorrow even though this morning it stated delivery today. Not happy.

It doesnt look that small to me, not everyone has large empty floor space to put it down on, if you have a narrow gap say e.g. 4 inches tall, how does it fit in? But granted it does seem smaller than it looked in review videos.

 

[McBain]

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

Yeah the video sequences are definitely juddery, the gameplay has been silky smooth though.

Question to all the guys who ordered 2+ consoles, what are you doing with the spare one's? it seems me ordering only one console I am in the minority..
