Poll: *** Xbox Series X|S - General Discussion Thread ***

[McBain]

Now this make me sad . preordered the 22nd still have pending payment on bank account for 3rd day and still no movement on the order from Microsoft

Exactly same boat as me. Rear end is starting to twitch.

Its upscaled 4k for christ sake

LOL, I can only imagine the angry messages you send on Xbox

 

[Goodie]

Still not a peep from Smyths since my order confirmation in September for AA

 

[2Thumbs]

Where did you get that fantasy from, or did you just make it up?

Yes it can do native 4K, it just lacks the GPU and the RAM to do it on most games and has specs targeted for 1080/1440p.

The Touryst runs at 4K naively on the Series S for example, but it’s stupid that I have to even back this up with evidence as it’s just a widely known fact.

I found it funny that he skipped past a number of people's comments negating his argument and went straight to the one person who he thought agreed with him.

 

[Huggie86]

Just got an email from Microsoft store saying its been dispatched

 

[Robert]

Cool cheers. Sod all here, still sat at pre ordered

It best rock up on Tuesday otherwise the wrath will be severe

Mine is the same :/

 

[crazy8s]

Nothing from Currys, though I was in on the second pre-order window. Wonder if any of those will be for day 1?

Was thinking simplygames would dispatch AC Valhalla today but may not be til Monday

 

[Kreeeee]

Microsoft themselves say series s doesnt even install 4k textures

You’re not related to Donald Trump are you? Multiple developers have stated that their games run at a native 4K, this is a fact.

The Series S being designed to work best at 1440p and having the capability to upscale to 4K does not mean that it isn’t able to run some games at a native 4K.

Textures have nothing to do with output resolution, why have you mentioned this?

Why are you twisting what others say to suit your made up narrative?

I spoke to Currys earlier to cancel my 2nd wave pre-order and they couldn't because it's been picked and packed, ready for shipping. Mine still says "Order confirmed" so I reckon it'll go out today. I've got to refuse delivery of mine.

Not any old Haribo, OCUK Haribo

 

[Matrix]

No payment taken from MS still....

Mines the same took pending payment last Tuesday but still says in Pre-ordered Estimated delivery 10 November ,Strange.

 

[RedStarRiot]

What games folk looking to play first on release?

Assassins Creed for me. Ordered it since Cyberpunk was delayed. Looking forward to getting stuck into it now, wishing my weekend off away!

 

[CHokKA]

Nope, I've got two coming, one from MS and the other Currys. One was for a friend that's changed their mind. So as the Currys order hadn't shipped, I wanted to cancel.

Coming from an original xbox one I'm looking forward to Doom Eternal which I haven't played before Fallen Order and also going back to Red Dead and Horizon 4 again

 

[xaldub]

Xbox Series S stock available for pre-order on the Jungle site if anyone wants it ... unfortunately no additional stock for the Series X.

I forgot about Doom Eternal as was waiting for it to come on PC.

Could be the first GamePass game I play on the Series X after AC Valhalla

Does RDR2 run better? Felt clunky on PS4 Pro

 

[crazy8s]

Speaking to Currys, processed but not dispatched (or picked?).

Guess I'll play the waiting game like the 30x0 folk

I have checked and I see that the order has been processed and further updates will be shared once the order has been dispatched and out for delivery to your address.
