Poll: *** Xbox Series X|S - General Discussion Thread ***
Why would they include one?
That would be very surprising, I expect they will be expecting most people to use wifi, given they removed the optical audio port I am surprised we even have an ethernet port.
Why would there be?
First game installed - Untitled Goose Game to get the 25 reward points..
£450 to play that
Game is pretty hilarious though to be fair.
Loving the console so far. The dashboard, game starts and generally everything is so snappy compared to how i remember my old One X being. Its genuinely like using my PC and you can tell its all running off an NVME drive.
My other half did exactly the same - she loves it and I've been told once I'm done at work I need to play multiplayer
because its 2020 and your average homeowner has all his tech on wifi
Very low percentage of users needing one. Those who do want to use one are likely to have one. Environmental impact of supplying one in every box.
Damnit!
Left dpad button a bit dodgy on controller. Misses many presses.
Wonder how I'm going to get that sorted as don't want to return entire console for that
You just raise a ticket with MS and they'll replace just the controller for you.
Sadly nothing. Booked day off work too lol

You’re a member of OcUK and you care about the Xbox having an Ethernet cable in the box? 
But wired is 100% better for online gaming IMHO.

I would make an assumption that if you have Ethernet ports around your home , that you have plenty of Ethernet cable already.
Yes this is correct. But The_One's point still stands. The majority of console owners are just using wifi.

No, I’m just playing devils advocate passing the time until my series x turns up.

Ethernet cable 
- to be fair, mine will be hooked up because I want to Stream to my PC, but I don't think they'd put a 25m cable in the box.
My X has arrived, at my workplace. Just need it to make its way to me now.

100% of people need the HDMI cable and power lead, but how many wire up their XBoxes? 10%? Maybe 20%?
I figured this was the case, which is why I ignored the questionNo, I’m just playing devils advocate passing the time until my series x turns up.

Even if they did include one you would still have people complaining about the length.
