Are you all starting to get excited? 2 weeks to go!

Opposite, my hype has completely died off...... ended up cancelling my pre order.

Recently bought a very capable gaming PC which has put an end to my desire for a X. Will still keep my One S for MS console gaming, UHD films etc.

I am hoping this can be added via a future firmware update they are already supporting Dolby Atmos so here is hoping they can add DV.

What are the chances of being able to pick an xb1x in a shop on launch day?

ic1male · 26 Oct 2017 at 01:48

Won’t the supermarkets have them? I don’t recall any of them doing preorders.

Having already got a Xbox One Elite I was originally going to get the X for Christmas, but now decided to get the Nintendo Switch instead.
Still plan on buying the X to replace my Elite but it be sometime well into the New Year now.

I been trying to decide over the pass few days wether to stick withy pre order or now.. As I just don't think it will out class the PS4 Pro game wise.

A number of my Xbox friends are holding off to see how it goes, they are hoping for post xmas bundles like the currys one.
I don't have that patience when it comes to new stuff, never have.
Your looking at someone who had a HD DVD add on here.

Though i see this more like buying a Amiga 1200, it will have its advantages even if it isn't the main stream. I think the support will be there from most developers.

To be fair, the best format won as Blu-ray had higher storage capacity and higher bit-rates.

Was funny reading this on Wikipedia

In November 2007 the popular audio-visual discussion site AVS Forum temporarily closed its HD-DVD and Blu-ray discussion forums because of, as the site reported, "physical threats that have involved police and possible legal action" between advocates of the rival formats

Why do people become so tribal about things like that?

That was one of my reasons I cancelled my X order.

Very disappointing.

It'll play them, it will output in HDR instead of Dolby Vision though.

Can't currently watch the video but do you get a mic with the X?

No, just power and HDMI this time around.

Digital foundry didn't have one in the box with theirs. I don't think even the scorpio edition has one

Zhuni · 26 Oct 2017 at 13:16

Yeah just checked on the Xbox website and found details of what's inside. Glad I found out now rather then on the day. Just to confirm there's no mic included

VincentHanna · 26 Oct 2017 at 15:46

8.1 Terraflop Nvidia 1070Ti just announced.

Xbox One X is looking like great value compared to that IMO.

I can't decide wither to buy an xbox one x. I already own a xbox one and a xbox one s. I dont have a UHD tv either.

is worth me buying a x?

VincentHanna · 26 Oct 2017 at 16:12

Wouldn't bother then to be honest.

Tattooed · 26 Oct 2017 at 16:15

Think I'll cancel my pre-order.
