The Xbox One X does, it still renders at 4K internally but then just downscales it. I don't see why the Series X shouldn't. Note - it wasn't a feature that was available right away, Microsoft added it in a while later.

I'm going to pick All Access at Smyth's first and if they don't have it, I'll buy it outright at Argos.
From what I've read, which could be a load of nonsense, the All Access Game Pass Ultimate entitlement is stored in the console settings. It's only when you manually activate it, that it gets added to your Microsoft account. There could be a time limit of 12 months to do so though. I don't think there's official word yet.
I'm hoping for another sku of the X in a smaller form
Yeah, that's what I was hoping. I'd rather go digital with the Xbox than the PS5 but that's the way it's going to work out for me. X with the disc drive and PS5 without.
Please don't take my word as gospel though. Need to find some confirmation from MS themselves.
There's this blurb on the Xbox site -

No mention of any time limit to redeem there.

Yeah, I like that idea. I'm thinking I might use my MS Reward points to knock some money off the console price instead of using them to get the 1TB SSD and therefore buy it from the Microsoft Store. I'm not 100% keen on having 2 years of monthly payments. Especially if there's periods when I might be gaming on the PS5/PC and never touch the Xbox for a month or two. I'd be paying for Game Pass Ultimate for nothing then.
It is though? It has a next-generation GPU (RDNA 2), a current Zen 2 CPU and NVMe storage. What's missing in terms of next-gen? The ability to produce a resolution higher than 1440p? A lot of PC gamers would disagree there.
HDR is yesteryear now. The Xbox Series are eventually going to have Dolby Vision which will be a step up further.
I'll let you know about the credit rating on Tuesday as my finances are awful, too.
Game Pass Ultimate is tied to the console. So you can choose any gamertag to redeem it, either during initial setup or later on down the line.
Yes, of course, I meant primarily HDR10 when I said "HDR is yesteryear"
And the Xbones do support it, yes, but I don't think there are any games using DV yet, just streaming media?
Pretty cool reading about all those BC tricks. I wonder what games will be getting the select treatment and having frame rates doubled.
Doesn't that happen automatically with a resolution increase? Textures become sharper because there are more pixels drawn?
I was thinking about it but I don't see how you fit it on to a sheet of A4 paper to maintain the correct size? Am I missing something?
Cashed in my reward points on Saturday morning and now have £235 of free MS credit for my XSX pre-order
Good god. How long have you been saving them up for?
Or you could just use the All Access monthly payments to get the Xbox and then buy the PS5 outright (or non-Game Pass Xbox games) with the money you aren't immediately spending on the Xbox.
I was... but I know at the end of the day I would feel sick to my stomach not having 4K output on a 4K TV. I'd only buy XSS as a last resort, personally.
HOLY NUTBALLS!
Haven't read the link yet but does that mean none of those titles are on PS5 now?

As a gamer, I really should not want that to happen. They ought to come to PS5 as well. But the devil in me is rooting for MS this coming gen and if they are in it for a fight, they should keep all those forthcoming titles to themselves.
The only thing they may be thinking of is that they will be free on Game Pass Day One whereas PS5 owners will have to fork out the £70 for them. Could be a factor that swings things in their favour without causing mass upset.
