Oooh... Xbox Series S crashed this morning during the firmware POST. During the Xbox logo, the sound hung and the console flashed and restarted itself. Hope that's not a sign of something serious. It came back on perfectly normal second time around though.
 
Has that changed in the last few years then? I'm sure I was able to play xbox one games I got through gold even when my sub had expired. That was a long long time ago though

That’s never been the case, only OG+360 games as said. I bet long time members have got a really nice library of 360 games.
 
How far have people pushed the Xbox refunds for digital purchases ? I keep buying games then getting buyers remorse. I’ve already refunded two games last week and now want to do two more. I have purchased and downloaded them yesterday but not played for more than a few minutes.
 
Crashes seem to be more frequent for me, I have hardly had any at all since getting the console, now I've had 2 or 3 sound lockups and crashed to dash in as many days.

Yup me too. The last system software update has really mucked things up in the stability department. Mine crashes at startup now every 3rd power on or so.
 
I bought a Series S on 23rd December. Started doing the rewards points on both the web and the console and I've almost amassed £50. Incredible if you ask me. By this time next year, I should have nearly half the cost of a Series X so it's well worth doing.
 
Can someone have a look at Disney+ on Xbox Series X and tell me if it does 4K playback? Star Wars Episode IX should be 4K but I can only see it as HD on Xbox Series S (console is in a HDMI 2.0 port).
 
Bethesda deal has been approved by the EU so Microsoft's acquisition is going ahead. I can't wait to see what comes to Game Pass. I've really been enjoying Doom Eternal on Game Pass so I'm hoping the Wolfenstein games make a return sometime soon!

There's going to be some kind of special event later this month, I think, which will give us all the gubbins on what's going to happen. It's quite exciting!
 
The console itself is more than capable, the problem is that it gets the Xbox One OG/S versions of Xbox One games and not the Xbox One X version which can mean they look a blurry mess on a big 4K T.V.

That’s the only downside but then of course more than half the Xbox One library (guessing) will not have X enhancements so won’t look any better on XSX either. I don’t regret buying my XSS one bit but I feel like I’m missing out and will need to get XSX at some point.
