It has its moments where it drags and those parts are carried by the dialogue. Probably drags more nearer the end, the it’d worth sticking with as there are some real highlights along the way.
That’s one of my biggest problems, especially when switching between the XSX and PS5. Why oh why do they both have an ‘X’ button that’s in a different place!!! QuickTime events in games screw me for hours until I remember.

Sure, or mute TV, it it's not really a solution
Yep but I would prefer the less power usage method, and the xbox fan seems to stay on while in that mode. I used to have the quick resume setting enabled but only just stopped it and now see this issue.
It's at the midday part that it's freaking loud, I imagine that is the max volume setting possible, as in the other noises are set to 30 percent, then it jumps to 100 percent volume available, then back down again. Then when using xbox, fame sound etc will hover around 60 percent. It's way above any other noise.
Put your phone/pc on max volume and tell me this isn't a stupidly loud start up noise.

Hmm can’t seem to run any games at the moment, sign in errors for a game that I bought and try again later message for a Gamepass game. Anyone else ?

Found that too, getting messages saying that I haven't bought games that I own.

Premise of this sounds pretty interesting.

that does sound interesting i'll take a look when i log on to the xbox later
I don't have a PS5, but swapping to the Xbox this gen had the same problem. Muscle memory just wasn't there and had to think all the time, whereas with the PS controller I never had to think. I still have to put a milliseconds' worth of thinking when I have to press LB/RB/LT/RT instead of L1/R1/L2/R2

WHats the best value, new Series S or a 2nd hand One X?

Get the series S. It's great and will make your kid happy. Have a look at how you can get the game pass for £1 per month and like £30 for a year, will give endless games and both these things will save you money left to treat yourself for at least 1 hooker

I use the xbox companion app and there is no delay whatsoever. I play dead by daylight which has quick time events and you'd notice a lag if there was one while playing that, to the point that I can't use Bluetooth headphones on my TV as the tiny delay means I miss the quick time events. The xbox companion app doesn't have any issues.
Not sure how well to a WiFi connected laptop it will work but fairly certain almost any game will be fine.
The app is free so give it a go and test it I guess.
