Those will be the X enhanced titles downloading via Smart Delivery.
Mine is still 04....something something.
Hopefully updating will help. Mine did itself a couple of days ago....

I hope there's a patch coming to hide those wires!.

Any pictures of the new consoles in real world settings? I've only seen the rendered pictures be nice to see one in the flesh.

Got a 55 CX5 arriving from Costco for £1220, can't wait until Black Friday and I doubt it will drop much more.
Can't face my faulty Samsung anymore, gonna take nerves of steel to put off playing my SX until it arrives though.
And got two long weekends off work on the 23rd and 30th which swayed me

I'm more impressed with the S than I am with the X, but that is not factoring in next generation games of course.
You definitely want to buy an external storage drive though.
The biggest different is with the frame rate. Even simple games like Deep Rock Galactic ran at 40-45 fps on the One X, which all now run at a locked 60 fps on the Series X and Series S.
The On X CPU really is atrocious.
For the backwards compatible games? Yeah I would do - presumably a mechanical drive would do the job?
Wut?!

Funnily enough, I just measured it myself because it was worrying me after leaving it downloading all night! It's currently pulling 45ish watts whilst installing a disc copy of Metro and downloading the patch at the same time (neat!). Playing Gears 4 briefly during my lunch break I noted 160-180 watts draw. I measured it earlier after putting it in standby mode; it does generate some heat and remains warm. For the first 5 minutes or so it was drawing 26ish watts, this then dropped and stayed at 10 watts. I estimate that's about a quid per month for the convenience of standby mode....
Nice, but.........mnakes me glad my Samsung has a OneConnect box so that I only get the one cable going up the wall!

For years I've read this forum and the mantra has always been gameplay. When a better console from another maker comes out, gameplay. Now you're all drooling over a **** poor gears of war game (single player) and visuals. So all you have taught me has been a lie 
It's like you learnt nothing from being the beta tester on the last 2 poor xbox launches! Spending £500 and then £200 for extra HDD space to play old games! Madness. FOMO at is best, it's like when HP had that useless tablet they discontinued and 1000's on here were trying to find stock rather than that missed out feeling
Looks a great bit of hardware, if you play Gears versus then the 120FPS is an advantage but to play a poor single player game, is it really worth it to be a early adopter? Even load times in MP doesn't help if the rest of the lobby is on a Xbone. I was hoping they would bring out an elite 3 to go with it, rather than the complete lottery of the version 2.
Can't wait to see the actual games that come out optimised for this console.

That's why I buy the X myself, then she can buy me gift vouchers, accessories and games
