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

[KraniX]

I find the load times on the One X fine - on my One they were a pain

Subnautica is painfully long, thankfully it's only really bad on the inital load.

You can't really compare 6tf from last gen to 4tf next gen.
Its already been confirmed that the series S will do everything the series X can, just at a lower resolution

I agree, it gives an indication of performance though, and like I said I'm more bothered about other benefits over resolution.

 

[KraniX]

I would rather have a switch than a new gen xbox or ps5.

Buy them all, enjoy them all.

nah man new gen consoles are horrible lol

Be interested to see frame rate comparisons Series S Vs One X.

I personally think there might be some surprises but maybe wishful thinking as a One X owner

Really doubt there will be any surprises. CPU and storage will be far, far faster on Series S. RAM is likely faster. And the GPU isn't likely any worse. All that power is then set to be deployed for 1080p/1440p gaming, rather than 4K.

Series S is going to represent the same leap over current gen as Series X. It'll just be at a lower resolution.

Digital Foundry are doing a tech analysis of it. Maybe this week.

So is EA Play getting rolled into GP or just for a certain period?

It is astounding value, wonder what happens if you already have an EA sub (got 10m left)?

 

[t@xman]

Really interested to see now how Sony replies to this - that is some serious value with EA Play included, and gives a huge array of games to play on day 1.

 

[chroniclard]

Also means I can cancel EA Play and just have Ultimate.....I think.....

 

[Dannyb01y]

£249 / £449 Nice!

 

[Mark1989]

I genuinely don't think I need the Xbox but with game pass and now EA play I'm starting to consider going back to it and have PC for upstairs play and Xbox in lounge

 

[t@xman]

I'm astounded - Xbox really seem to have played a blinder on this.........if only they had the first party games that Sony has!

wok so doing the maths (badly) it costs me 19.99 a year for EA play and £10.99 for ultima. so across the year that's around £152 a year.

if I dump the ea play and take the £29 a month deal that was posted above that means the xbox would cost me an additional ... £196 a year or £16 a month over my current subscription... seems good.

You mean month not year?
