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

[Kreeeee]

Xbox are celebrating 20 years of Xbox!
The celebration starts today and continues through November 15, 2021. I wonder what will be released around the 15th [/MEDIA]

Well it's already known that Halo Infinite is scheduled to release on the anniversary of Halo 1 (15 November), so that's not a surprise.

That wasn't known by me, thanks!

So what's the big upcoming release which isn't Halo because I don't do alien fps.

Flight Sim, Psychonauts 2, maybe Forza?

Red Dead Redemption 2 series X/S version

Sorry just got back with it in hand. Yeah email came through mid afternoon, was very surprised!

This thing is heavy.

I got a text at 7pm, I got mine too!

Compared to the PS5 - wow build quality and presentation are fab. The fan, I can't even hear, the ps5 is loud in comparision. Had to check that the fan was actually working.

Not really played anything yet as I needed to download and update. The unit looks really nice. I have ps5 on the right and xbox series x on the right of the TV.
Really digging the understated look of the SX.

Red Dead Redemption 2 series X/S version

Has that been hinted at then? Or is that more of a hope thing?

Yup the fan was the first thing I noticed coming from a PS4 Pro and it's whisper quiet, not heard it once so far in 5 months of having it.

Love the understated look to, have it behind a monitor on a black desk and half the time I don't even notice it's there. I don't want a console based on how it stands out in size/colour or even shape design but one that just works really well without overheating, jet engine sounding fans and with just good build quality/design.

It's expected along with a X/S version for Grand Theft Auto later this year.

Yeah hinted, it will happen as this is rockstar. We all know they like upgrading older games and selling again for full price.

Not that I am complaining, rdr2 on the PC at 60fps is a real joy to play.

 

[Josh]

I bought RDR2 on PS4, PC and just bought on XBO, sods law it'll be refreshed for XSX.

I'll still get it, fave game of all time that.

Agreed, might play through rdr1 again, looks quite nice running native 4k.

Nice! Enjoying unboxing it, such a well designed beast.

I'd better get it setup and installed before the wife gets home and see's it!

 

[Noxia]

Blimey, not even dented FH4 yet.

So many chaps here scared of their missus. LOL. Surely she's going to notice a big black box next to the TV?

Lol; its going in my office; to be fair she probably wouldn't notice the difference to the old one!

I got notification at lunch time that my Xbox was ready for collection from Argos, so went and grabbed it.

I was half expecting the order from Weds night to be cancelled, also 3 days early and just in time for the weekend. Nice one Argos!

Quick question, is the official Xbox headset recommended over third party types? Ignore this - just seen its discussed in this thread!

Just wanna say from the owner of both Series X and PS5.

The Series X really is a well put together box.

Please just give us the games to take advantage and show it off.
