Xbox One X

Phil Spencer has said previously he wants to get the OG Xbox games running on Windows. That should be a pretty easy job as it’s all x86 code.

Yeh but this is of limited use - basically Xbox/360 only exclusives. For example KOTOR is being hyped (one of my fave RPGs). I have had that on Steam able to play on my PC for years.

not really the amount of exclusive BC games far outweigh those available on the PC.

Yeh as I said the exclusives that aren't on PC.
There are very few games that I personally wanted to play on BC that aren't also on PC. If different for you then an Xbox makes sense (One, S or the X).

Just got rid of my trusty old S, £160 spondulicks from the gum of the tree.

All my games and apps are backed up onto an external already from my new X

Had a look on eBay and some chancer is pre-selling his Scorpio branded controller for £99 :eek:

I take it one can not back everything up, just at the cost of the time it takes to download everything to X? I got rid of my external hard drive a few years ago!

It backs up your current Xbox settings/profiles and you can move all you internally stored games and apps.

When you get the X I assume you just plug it in and it does its stuff.

I might be cracking here, was going to hold off buying an X but after a series of successful football bets and £80 on my Game card I'm very tempted to flog the S and take the dive.

still trying to find the best deal , Very is saying pre order now for delivery on the 28\11\17 ?

Humm Tesco is now saying the 16\11\17

Is there an easy to follow guide for moving from Xbox One to Xbox One X ?

I was just going to start from scratch but I've read the Forza has a 100GB 4K update so think it may be a good idea to plan in advance instead of downloading everything on the day.

I ordered about 3 weeks ago from Very and they are quoting 18th to me, so that's probably about right.

Thing is - I don't need it on release anyway as the only game I want to play on it is Star Wars: Battlefront II and that's not out until 17th

Super Mario Odyssey will keep me busy until then.

How much would an xbox one be worth on its own with no controller? Wonder if I could get £80 or so for it and put it towards my one x.

Very still have 7th Nov for my scorpio. Ordered on 1st day

VincentHanna · 30 Oct 2017 at 19:16

Yeah they do it by order priority, which is a good thing.

To be honest my order confirmation says 'direct from manufacturer' So I guess it's sent from a Microsoft warehouse.

Mine is the 8th but I don't mind waiting an extra day for the £90 saving

I only (only, first world problems) managed to bag 10% and they refused when I told them it should actually be 20%. But I couldn't cancel as it was still the cheapest!

Cancelled my Scorpio order, the Paris event with all the PS4 exclusives was the nail in the coffin for me.
