All next gen exclusives will use it to varying levels.
All it does it’s take the load off the CPU for compression/decompression, so any game in quick resume also uses it to compress/decompress the RAM image.

I was thinking of waiting but decided against it in the end. Runs flawlessly and looks pretty damn good on SX. Quick resume straight back into the action has also worked every time.

£230 is a bit more than I want to spend, is the mouse any good?
A wired set up would be a USB hub extension for about £10 and I can probably play it sitting low on a little stool in behind the coffee table lol
Edit - Going to give the USB HUB a go first, i might not even like the experience anyway.

What is the compatibility like for games?
Could some one trust me a xbox live code please ? We are trying to play battlefront with xbox home share but it only seems to allow one on at a time.
So after some experiments, you can share games pass games between consoles, not ea games
So we got a 30 day ultimate code and it worked

Very limited by the looks of it. Bit pointless buying it at the moment tbh.

Found some in stock about 8 times today and failed every time, once got in a queue , once got in basket, got past paying with paypal only to be told it's out of stock.
Odd, Dolby vision isn't even mentioned on mine under Playing games and I'm pretty sure we have the same tv CX?
Your tv setup supports up to native 4k at 120 fps and you tv supports hdr gaming is the only two.

I think with the CX OLED if you have freesync enabled in the TV settings then it won't allow dolby vision as an option anywhere.
You can still get VRR and dolby vision without freesync enabled in the TV settings as it will just use the hdmi 2.1 built in spec for VRR rather than "branded" freesync

It’s part of the latest dash available through the insider program. From what I have read Dolby Vision gaming needs the full 48gbps bandwidth of HDMI 2.1. CX and newer only support 40gbps hdmi.
The C9 supports the full 48gbps but it’s still crossed out as something about it not being fully implemented yet.

But the series x hdmi 2.1 is capped at 40gbps as well.

That's strange. I have a Series S in my living room (set as the 'Home' console to be able to share Gold and Game Pass with the family) and my Series X upstairs.
Both consoles are able to download and launch all Game Pass games (Inc EA Play titles).
I take it only at the same time if you're using different profiles right? I'm quite annoyed because I have to sign in on my profile when my kids play because Minecraft content is tied to your profile account and not the game, so I can't play on my Series X when they're using the Xbox One. It's really annoying and I wish there was a workaround.
You could always pay for two subscriptions/content if you want to use it simultaneously on two systems

I could do, but as I said, the only thing holding back the ability to play is the fact that for some reason Minecraft content is tied into your account and not the game. If it worked like other games and their content, I wouldn't be having this issue.
You will have this issue with all games that support cross-platform progress.
Yeah I get that. I was just hoping that perhaps there was a magical solution because even getting another account for Game Pass would mean not being able to access the Minecraft marketplace content, and if I used that account the progression wouldn't be saved for me in my games. My Xbox account has been around since the launch of the Xbox 360 so I'm quite attached to it!

Nope; different profiles.
The console that I want anyone in the house to have access to Gold/GP is set as the 'Home' console in settings (have you done that? If not, you can read the support article here). The other console, that only I play, is obviously not set as the 'Home' console but picks up my game licences/Gold/Game Pass via my Gamertag when I log into that.
With the above, I can be on my Series X upstairs, and my wife or kids can sign in with their own gamertags on the Series S downstairs and play any game I own, or have access to via Game Pass (it also worked this way one Xbox One, we had an OG Xbox One downstairs and a One S upstairs).
Yeah I've done all of that. The issue I've got is that my kids need me to login to the home console under my profile so that they can access the Minecraft marketplace content that I bought for them using my profile when we only had one Xbox. Now that we have two, you can't move the content to their profile so I'd either have to buy it all again, or they use my profile for it. It's a bit limiting.
