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

    Bit of advice after investigating my dead series x: I recommend turning off the quick startup in the power options, it seems to be killing the SSD and subsequently the Xboxes (I’m sure it is now off by default now which says to me Microsoft know it is) I removed the SSD to test and it is dead...

    Is Intel making a play for the console market with Arc?

    I long for days gone by of the exotic architecture in different consoles rather than basically the same box with different name on, given that ray tracing will be a big selling point next gen I’d say nVidia has a bigger shout than anyone, AMD will be several generations behind by then, I could...

    *** Starfield ***

    I seen a quote about Starfield that summed the game up “as wide as a galaxy, as deep as a puddle” :cry: I started skipping dialogue by the time I got to new Atlantis, the drawn out monotone voices got annoying fast, and yeah the loading screens seem a step back this gen (they are pretty fast...

    *** Starfield ***

    I probably sound ungrateful but this doesn’t look like they’ve spent over 10 years working on this game…..what the hell have they been doing all this time? I know space based games are very ambitious given the sheer scale of them and they are on a hiding to nothing but there are certain things...

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

    I thinking the same, usually I’d be all for mid gen upgrades but this gen has me feeling a bit meh, almost three years into it and we’ve yet to have a truly next gen, AAA blow your socks of game, I think there’s still plenty to tap into on these consoles and I’d rather a have a big leap than a...

    It just stopped working after crashing a couple of times, the power light comes on but there is no startup beep sound and no HDMI signal (cannot boot into safe mode to reset and cannot link a control pad to it)

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

    Just wondering, would my series x (launch day model) that has gone bust be covered under the consumer rights act 2015? am I right in assuming the retailer has to either repair or replace up to 6 years after purchase?

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

    Thanks for the links I will check them out, I have tried different HDMI cables and different TVs to rule them out and still no luck, Xbox website quoting £300 repair! No chance I will pay that, it’s not as if I go on it loads to say it’s wear and tear (when I was a free and single teen/twenty...

    No it won’t even boot into safe mode, no signal at all and there is no startup beep sound anymore, it doesn’t seem to be a power supply issue as it switches on but everything else is dead (apart from the cooling fan which spins for a few seconds then stops) Edit: also cannot link a controller to...

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

    I think my launch day series X has give up the ghost, it has crashed a few times recently, I factory reset the console and this seemed to fix it but last night it crashed a couple of times and the last time I rebooted it there was a long message on screen but before I had a chance to read it, it...

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

    Thanks for that, I couldn't remember how it worked, so if I set their console as my home console it won't deactivate my series x as my primary console will it?

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

    Im having a bit of a brain fart so excuse if stupid question: I have got my two young sons a series s for Xmas as they have started to play on my series x, now if I setup a child account on the new console for them do I have to buy a game pass subscription or is there a way they can piggyback on...

    Finally got mine setup after having it since Monday (a week off work has turned into decorating :() Having a blast of Astro's playroom with the kids first and really enjoying it, the big standout for me is the controller, it really does feel premium (my series x pad feels cheap in comparison)...

    I think the best RT utilisation will be from first party studios which can work their magic coding to the metal....which is frustrating when you see naughty dog making uncharted remakes instead of focusing 100% on new next gen titles
