I've been trying it at home. Can't say I'm really liking it. Although if I were at work and using my workplace's internet. Then it could really help. But for home use? Best to get a console, imo.
Thanks, guys! I got extremely lucky on this. Just happened to sit down at my computer and check Target's site when I saw it in stock. Tried multiple times to order it from my local Target just down the street. But naturally, by the time I go through the whole checkout process, it says unavailable.
Ha, crazy! I doubt too many have done it for both consoles. I couldn't be bothered with any of that. A friend told me the Microsoft site had some going and I instantly tried to buy and it worked. So just luck for me as well. No way I was going to try queueing or anything competitive, especially with bots and scalpers out there. Have you still got your PS5 as well? Keeping both?Thanks, guys!

The Target in a city 40 minutes away said it had 2 left in stock. So I tried to order from there and got it on my first try. Then, I had to drive through pouring rain to pick it up. And when I got home, I got my 2nd Covid shot.
I've been pretty sick these past few days after that shot, so I haven't had a chance to test out my new Series X. But, on the plus side, at least the box is nice!!
Oh, and after going through it twice with both the PS5 and the Series X, I NEVER want to play this game of russian roulette trying to order/preorder a console again. This **** needs to be fixed!!
Hell yeah I still have my PS5! And for the amount of **** and hassle it took to get both, I am going to keep both!
Nice. Definitely the best place to be with having both. The later part of this generation I think could be quite unpredictable. You are seriously committing to gaming then haha. Congrats and hope you very much enjoy both!
Haha. I wouldn't say it's a matter of being seriously committed/dedicated to gaming. If I look at my decision to get a Series X strictly through that lens, then I'd say it was kind of an impulsive, impractical decision. I know my time commitment to gaming is definitely NOT going to go up in the future, yet I still ended up getting both next gen consoles.
That's surely on the cards as part of the cloud rollout, although they might just have an app on smart TVs too.
I’d heard about The Coalition working on another project but not Bethesda. As long as ES VI doesn’t get delayed as a result I’m all for it. If Starfield is as good as Skyrim and Fallout 3/NV, then they are going to have to juggle 3 huge franchises that take years of Dev time each even without any new IPs. Hope they are staffing up with that Microsoft budget!
True, but supply related again. I look forward to when supply issues are no longer relevant so we can see how much demand there really is for these next gen consoles. I think it's going to be a massive generation for all 3 console manufacturers.
supply related issues may go on for another year, Sony basically said it will
Yeah, not looking like ending anytime soon. Will be hard to get an overview of real underlying demand until that's resolved unfortunately. I'll be glad when everyone who wants a next gen console can just walk into a shop and buy one whenever they want.
who knows when that's gonna be...I think within 2014 the Ps4 was easier to get. I guess the pandemic makes it that much harder
Yeah that’s about right. Series X is also a beast of a backwards compatible box which is even better combined with gamepass. I love the design too. It will come into its own once all the first party studios start delivering.
Feels like a year away but very hard to predict with all this unmet pent up demand for many products that require components.
