Xbox one controllers also work with this right ? Just wondering about a 2nd controller...

Yes, all accessories for the Xbox One will work with Series S/Series X.

I thought eBay had a policy that specifically was aimed at combating this? Like you had to have the actual product and it couldn't be for things not owned? Maybe I'm making that up, but Im sure I remember reading something like that.

what ebay say, and what they do are two completely different things

Yep im keeping my PUBG Xbox 1 pad for this reason

I've ordered 2 as I wanted to be sure I get one I'll be cancelling one of them closer to release.

You staying Eggbox this time or going PS5 as well?

You still play any CoD? Haven't seen you on for ageeeeeeeeees, since we played MW that night.

Looks like Smyths fell over before any pre orders were actually made, thats impressive going.

They need to get themselves a new IT team

The word "unprecedented" really annoys me. It simply wasn't. It was very much expected.

I just woke up and went straight to Very and could get one, albeit with 3 months gamepass but thats ok. I'll decide what to keep closer to the time.

Shopto have Series X/S controllers up for pre order now. Seems to be £5 cheaper than everywhere else.

I can only see standard Xbox controllers, is there a difference?

EDIT: Ah, I see a Black or White version.

Only Series S left at Currys, I should have checked the message in the queue and closed the window then

Same, with the Elite controller 2 - I would've been mega p'd off if it didn't work!!!

Eggbox as my main and probably a ps5 for exclusives. I don't play MW at all as the maps are poop. I'll be trying the cold War beta though. Hopefully it's a bit less poopier than mw.

I think Smyths online melted as never managed to get an Xbox showing as buyable

 

[McBain]

Have to laugh at the 'Accidental order Series X' listings on eBay. So cancel then? At least take pride in your dirtbaggery.

Very still has stock of the Series X with additional pad if anyone is interested.

You can share games you buy this way, but you cant play the same game on two different consoles. Ie you have to be playing different games.

That's not true. Set the S as your 'Home' console, anyone on here can use gold and any of your game pass games. Login with your main profile on the X, only you have access to gold/game pass. You can all play together at the same time on the same games. My kids do it all the time with Minecraft and Rocket League and the like.

Interesting that no-one's mentioned Google Stadia in Microsoft's buyout of Bethesda. Is this going to be another nail in their coffin if MS chooses not to use that rival cloud platform?

Thats weird Dark Souls 3 kicks my son offline if I start to play it. Will play around later, cheers.

Got one from MS store. Has any dealt with these before if you have a problem? do they repair or do they swap for a brand new one? never used MS store before.

Think that coffin (stadia) was nailed shut a while back

I think those 10 owners are probably worried about it.

Just been thinking that in a few years how good will the gamepass lineup look: Halo, Forza, Gears, Flight Simulator, Fable, Elder Scrolls 6 amongst others plus ea access and the entire back catalogue....Microsoft are really going all out this generation, could this be the new golden era for gaming?
