I played it through to completion last week and I really enjoyed it, it perhaps got a touch stale in the middle around the skif in the snow, but other than that I thought it was good?

Playing this on my Series S atm (about 4 hours in) and it runs very well. Have read that it's 1080p 60 fps in the campaign and 120 fps online (but haven't tried this yet). It generally feels really smooth, but you can feel it dropping down some frames in certain areas (very minor). It's also very pleasing on the eye IMO.
Having never played a Gears game before, I'm enjoying it so far. The pacing is good with some nice cutscenes breaking up the gunfights, and I'm even interested in the story
. Found the controls a bit tricky at times, but I'm getting used to them.I'm loving this little Series S though! It's such a slick looking bit of tech and seems to have the power for ~1080p 60fps if the developers optimise, which is excellent for the price. It's also nice and quiet (so far) compared to how loud my Pro gets in some games
. I think that I prefer the feel of the new controller to that of the One too.
Gears 5 and Tactics (you didn’t specify) look fantastic on the S and have perfect performance.
I think all of the discord announcements are delayed, I expect paid services get exclusive minutes to get orders in.
any law needs to be on the retailers not the buyers, otherwise retailers will just say "not my problem boss". It is clear retailers can do a "lot" more but just dont seem motivated, I seen one uk retailer do invite only for ps5 consoles, and not any other retailer has took initiative instead just happy to use random drop systems which the scalpers are thriving on.
it gets retailers off the hook, not so much the manufacturer, one could e.g. buy it unopened of ebay, then register it on the manufacturer website and have manufacturer warranty.

As a 4K whore, I thought I'd be peed off at playing 1080p or below on my Series S but I'm actually loving it. Even if the games are the formerly-janky Xbone S versions, they perform really well with the extra grunt on the new console. The loading times are fantastic and the new controller is the best I've ever used. Very pleased.
Is there much extra grunt over the Xbone on the GPU side? CPU side, sure. I thought the GPU in the S was about equal with the Xbone?
Sorry that's what I meant. Keep forgetting there was another Xbone before the XBX.
MS really do love the letter X, don't they. Looking forwards to the Xbox Xeries XXXXXXX when they refresh this gen.
I’ve had to do it in the past.
I got the same, coming tomorrow hopefully. I’ve never had it before, might be a new thing?
I believe its to stop thefts of consoles. Think a lot of couriers were pocketing the consoles stating they had been delivered

Not had any email yet..... And it's still not despatched.
It'll probably be later, mine says delivered by 10pm tomorrow. I normally get despatch emails in the early AM.
Oddly me to. Probably have a ton of orders to be fair, just after Christmas and so on.
How does yours usually get delivered?
Mines normally via Amazon Logistics i've had emails as early as 2-4am stating despatch for same day deliveries.
