Xbox Xbox Series X|S Thread

[Dave McFly]

anybody know if the One accessories work with the series x? I really like my Turtle Beach headset that work's over the system's wireless setup for the controllers (no USB dongle needed). I would really like to keep them as they sound good and have a great batt life (16h per charge).

I believe they said One accessories will work on the Series X (except Kinect, of course).

I’m still bummed the Kinect didn’t take off. I remember playing bowling on it early on with Kinect sports and feeling certain it would turn into something big.

Cloud Gaming with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Launches with More Than 150 Games - Xbox Wire

And it seems Apple will allow cloud gaming on iOS (kinda):
Apple’s new App Store guidelines carve out loopholes for xCloud, Stadia, and other apps that Apple had blocked

If this pans out it will be an important part of which phone I upgrade to in November.

Using game pass on my Pixel now and playing some Hellblade, which is pretty lag free.

Well sucks for Xbox..

PS5 with disk matches XSX price
PS5 digital undercuts XSX by 100$

I know there is a XSS but that is not in the same talk as the above.

I know for a fact MANY people would have liked a XSX without a disk drive, but MS thought differently. Never have used the one in my X1X.

I will have to think about this for awhile. Probably will still go with Xbox.. but still PS5 for 100 less.

I know it wont happen but MS should now come out and say.. as a thank you to the fans we are reducing the XSX to 399 and the XSS to 249

That would be wild. But I want that to happen so Sony could adjust their prices as well.

 

[Dugath]

Interesting..

Canadian Prices .. (I am Canadian so this matters to me..)

Xbox Series X before taxes.. 599.99
PS5 (with Disk) before taxes .. 629.99
PS5 (no disk) before taxes.. 499.99

I think XSX is cheaper because Microsoft has a strong presence here (compared to Sony).

 

[Dave McFly]

how can people be putting these on ebay when they do not even have them pre ordered yet at least the PS5 ones they have them pre ordered?

 

[terry78]

Because that's what we do, proverbial counting unhatched chickens.

I would not doubt that the 10,000 xbox Series X someone buys on Ebay does not ship until after the release date.. use your money to buy it and keep the profits.

Even with the PS5 people would be foolish to buy from Ebay. Just wait, not like there are any console exclusives on launch day anyways. Everything Sony said was PS5 exclusive was bull and well.. Xbox SX.. (I hear crickets when it comes to next gen games).. no need to rush to be first.

 

[Dave McFly]

well the PS5 would not be shipped till it hit the store either but I just wanna know how they can even list it if the seller does not even have that pre order. what if a seller goes to his local game stop or game store and tries to preorder it and there are none he will have to cancel that auction and return any $$$ back to the bidders? I personally think it is shady as hell personally.

 

[XtremelyBaneful]

I wonder if the preorder launch will make every website crash all over again

 

[psylockolussus]

If there's a demand for it sure. But in Japan, definitely not.

 

[X Knight]

Well, talk about a last minute mic-drop game-changer!! MS buys Bethesda!! Holy ****!!

 

[Dugath]

Nice, Xbox/PC exclusive.. Doom, ElderScrolls, Starfield, Quake, Fallout and more... yes please.

 

[X Knight]

I wonder how this will affect Starfield and ES VI, which are already in development.

IMO, it would be a HUGE missed opportunity to not secure exclusive rights to those games.

 

[terry78]

Damn.

 

[Dugath]

Gamepass gets even better now.
