Mines showing as delivery on the 22nd September

Guess they are waiting for the next batch of refurbs to come in. At least they are being pretty good about returns, any issues and they'll send out a replacement.

 

[Buckster]

And that shows whole thing makes little sense as if you order now its showing in stock 4th ?? !

 

[Puzzled]

I know its odd, I expect my date will move forward once stock is confirmed.

 

[Buckster]

I'm half expecting mine to move to 22nd

If it did dunno if I'd cancel

 

[Too Tall]

Has anyone tried XBOX streaming yet? I was wondering if any of you had got it working outside your home?

I can use it fine when both devices are connected to the same network but I just get an error launching your game when trying it away from home. No menu or anything.

Mine turned up today

But is now in parcel quarantine

I've already used the £1 gamepass deal so I guess I need to create a new account to make use of the cheap Brazil live codes.

 

[Buckster]

Woah when did you order ? Glad arrived for you though

I ordered on 22nd and no movement on order status

 

[Puzzled]

Ordered on Monday, a couple of others on hotdeals have had the same today so just seems to be a bit random.

 

[Buckster]

Does seem random. Unusual for Amazon tbh

I did read people saying depends on depot but I've had stuff dispatched from all over counter and even from abroad (UK order) when suits so not sure depot lottery would make much sense

 

[KraniX]

My replacement console was set for delivery on the 8th, now reduced down to the 3rd.

Seems like a weird postcode lottery going on, some moving further out, some sooner depending on depot I guess.

Sorry slight hijack; when streaming from your local console does it offer profiles to select or just run off the main profile?

 

[Too Tall]

I only have the one profile on the xbox.

Ok thanks, I'm desperate to understand this... I currently use streaming boxes (nviida shields etc.) for the kids to play games on streaming from a PC but it doesn't do windows profiles so was hoping the xbox may be more suited.

You can use any profile.

 

[BlizzardX]

You can use any profile.

oooo tell me more... does it allow you to select which profile when you start the stream?

It’s as if you turned on your Xbox on your tv. The only difference is that the output is streamed to your device instead of the tv.

 

[BlizzardX]

Awesome, thank you. I currently use Parsec and Steam Remote Play to stream my games from the PC to my android TV devices (all wired 1gbe connections) - what is the quality of the xbox local streams?

Pretty poor even on maximum quality settings, and noticeable input lag due to the slow compression methods.

 

[BlizzardX]

hmmm not promising; I'm used to Parsec which is a low latency streaming software but it does sacrifice qaulity... nVidia Gamestream is better but at a latency cost... oh well the kids won't care and I've still got my higher powered PC which I use!

Maybe it’s better on the next gen console, but it’s not great in the One X.
