I didn’t realise that, thanks. Seems like an opportunity missed to keep things simple.

It’s the same as it is now on the Xbox One, except that Microsoft are pushing their studios to use it more.

I expect almost no third parties to use it, just as they don’t use it now except for the few games that split multiplayer off as an additional download.

Why sell a game once for 2 systems when you can sell it twice.

Hopefully more games will go down the smart delivery route, as said before this generation is essentially just like turning the settings up on an upgraded pc. Imagine if you had to buy a pc game again to go from normal to high settings :o

Ahh, I see. As I've completely given up with CoD, I haven't read anything about it. Naturally, they're just going to try and get as much cash as possible out of people for the minimum effort again this generation.

Mostly since MW original one they have indeed been crap but the modern MW is good (excluding Warzone imo)

Think I’ll stick with my Astro a40 and mix amp pro for the time being. I had the arctis 8x wireless headset and I sold them when I got my astros. Wasn’t a fan of the sound and the wireless was sketchy at best, had quite a few drop outs whilst gaming. Updated them and everything but didn’t help, I find the Astro’s to be better sound wise plus with the mix amp I can adjust how much voice I want to the in game sounds. The steelseries was a royal pain in the ass to get it perfect for me.

I've never used them but they seem to have moved away from bluetooth and now have a usbc wireless adaptor which makes connection issues disappear.

I also have an Astro mixamp but its quite old now (Gen 2?) So not sure if it would even work on XSX.

You can adjust the ratio in the Xbox os.

Ahh ok if they are using dongles then that will alleviate those issues.
I doubt the gen 2 will work, I know with mine ie gen4 there is an update to enable sound over usb as the series x has got rid of the optical connection.

Yeh I tried that and still didn’t find it that good compared to the astros and the mix amp.
 
managed to get my pre-order sorted at the weekend.

Ive been on all-access for 12 months already so im upgrading, I think we are given priority because non where in stock at the time, the series X wasn't even visible on their site.

What happens to the console you've already been using with All Access? Do you have to send it off somewhere?

Yes they send you a box and you send it back from what I have read.

^This

My payments have stopped now, my credit has been accepted for the series X, just waiting for launch now and for my box to send my one x back.

You only need to send back the console/controller/power cable.. so the box etc is kept.
 
I'm sure this is common knowledge already, but I found out that quickresume works even after the machine's been turned off (as in, unplugged and moved type of off :) ). Given that I seldom play more than 3 games at any time, it's pretty epic and all the games I'll have installed would be in a QR state!
