Can anyone out there with an S confirm that the X-enhanced 360 games like Viva Pinata, Gears 2, Red Dead Redemption are running at 1440p on Series S?
Poll: *** Xbox Series X|S - General Discussion Thread ***
Yeah, I read your post about The Witcher 2 and I thought "what the heck are they on about?" as I can't remember any 360 games getting anything beyond the 3x resolution increase. I'll have to go check out Digital Foundry's spiel on it.

So it does appear there's more to it.
So far... they are working on it for Series X. Gears of War Ultimate is the only one they've shown though.
So from Google searching in my case it's not Xboxes fault. Activision have released two versions of the new Cod and aren't using smart delivery. My game says Xbox One / Xbox Series X on front, so it's the Xbox One version, it needs to say Xbox Series X first
And have the Optimized for Series X logo in the top right corner.
How is it possible for a game to cause hardware faults? I thought the OS was supposed to be guardian of all such things with its protected memory, sandbox this, that and the other. I don't think my Windows 10 PC has locked up ever in the 2.5 years of ownership and yet you'd think that would be a more likely scenario than the Xbox.
The only real negative Richard has is the SSD space. He points out that you are bound to run out sooner rather than later and the expensive cart is the price difference between S and X. It's a shame because if the Series S came with the same 1TB SSD, it would be just perfect.
If you are only using it as a game pass console though, a handful of games at a time then delete them, it's not really an issue. It's only if you keep multiple service games like Call of Duty at 100GB+ that you're going to have problems.

Bagged meself a Series S for 180 notes (reward points) from the Microsoft Store. Not being delivered til after Christmas though.
It seems any game that is still being built with the old Xbox Development Kit (XDK) will run from external drives even if it has the Optimized for X|S flag. There's a way to find out by getting up some info bar on each game but I can't remember how to do it on the top of my head.
I can't see that at this time of year. All the stock would go because it's Christmas. I wonder if maybe it's that some have been air freighted and some on boats. All manufactured at the same time but some take longer to get here.
Flippin 'eck. Do you have to get her an iPhone 12 Max Pro as well?
I'm hoping MS Store will have regular stock by mid-February or else I'll lose my reward points. Knowing my luck, I'll end up having to buy the 1TB SSD and have no console! 
There's only one OG/360 game that has double the FPS, that's Fallout 4. Everything else is the same as it was originally.
No need to. I know you're wrong.
But I was wrong in my initial post - Fallout 4 (the only game to have frame doubling) is an Xbox One game, of course.
Just for the simple fact that the S will play all next-gen games and has an SSD makes it worthwhile in my eyes.
Wonder why there's so much Series S available in regular intervals where the X hasn't been since at some places since November. MS were supposed to be making more X than S.
How're everyone's consoles behaving at almost a month after launch? Anyone had a duff one or bricked theirs?
Great to hear all the good reports.
Do OG Xbox games have cloud saving too? Or is this feature dependent on the backend at the time, i.e. it only came along with 360 so nothing before then.
Seems like Very have some of the S in stock.
A part of me wants to get it because it's available and the other part of me wants to hold off for an X
You're exactly the same as me. Every time I see the S come in to stock on Microsoft Store, I add it to my basket and then sit and wait with my brain tearing itself apart weighing up whether to proceed with checkout or wait for the X. I think the X is due in next week...
