Topic: General Xbox Series X|S Thread

@Ryall It certainly would - I just thought the image was funny - not meant to be taken seriously or looked at from a practical perspective LOL

Now this went to some surreal level.

@Senua That was incredibly interesting and informative...

May have to get an external SSD via USB now instead of the external mechanical I have on my XB1X. O never thought the 'slight' benefits of an external SSD offered enough of a reason to spend 'silly' money per TB for - but now I see that was more down to the 'poor' Jaguar CPU. The difference is staggering!

@BAMozzy Imagine the smooth experience in games built on XVA which according to Microsoft, the custom decompression block offloads work of 2-4 Zen 2 cores.

I read the Digital Foundry article and by all accounts the Sata SSD is the way to go regarding external hard drives when playing X one, 360 and OG Xbox games

Absolutely destroyed those hypocrite journalists at Polygon in just one line.

Take that Geoff Keighley and notebookcheck. 🤣🤣🤣

I have a question, If I buy a xbox one game, download it on my xbox one s, what is the process to get it on my xbox series s, does it need to support smart delivery? or does it automatically transfer? The game is Halo MCC by the way (I tagged you guys because I see you frequenting the forum)

@AkashTheGod99 You'll download it again on Series S or use an external HDD to bring the game to your new console. If they upgrade the title for the new consoles you'll get the update automatically and free.

You don't need Smart Delivery because every Xbox One game will be playable on Series S. Smart Delivery means that you can buy the Xbox One or Series version of the game and get the appropriate version for whatever console you want to play the game on but in this case, there is no "Series" version yet. If they release one, you'll get it, meanwhile you'll play the game as it is on both consoles (with better performance on the new console).

Game and save file will transfer, no problem 👍🏻.

Guess we will have excess of games after Bethesda acquisitions.
Xbox hater journalists will be complaining like xBux gOT tOo mAnY gAmES NoW 😭🦄🤮🤧 and here’s 1000 words on how that’s a bad thing. 😂

I can see those "journalists" already, "Xbox has lost its focus with too many games", "The Xbox identity has been lost in an excess of genres and titles", "100 exclusives and still no trace of something as stirring as The Last of Us II Remastered"...

Guys do you think that Series X (NOT the S ofc.) could be setup offline or it will be the same as with the Xbox One?

There were rumors before that you can update your One offline with USB storage (the first time or after factory settings reset) but it did not work.

I watch the unboxing videos and the BC test with the hope to see offline profiles again like on the 360.

Hey guys, I pre-ordered my Xbox series x, and I wanted to ask you guys something about getting an Xbox series s on launch. It has it listed as 3.AM as the release time, so would I have to stay up all night, or could I wake up in the morning, and then order it.

That's pretty much it.

@AkashTheGod99 You can pre-order at anytime - if they have stock available. I don't know what difference the release time makes unless you plan to queue up at the store (assuming its open) and pick up your pre-order. If you pre-order, it will be 'reserved' for you to pick up when you want and/or dispatched to your delivery address in time to arrive on launch day.

If you wait until launch day and try to purchase one, you may find they are out of stock and have to wait until new stock arrives. Its going to be better to order one as soon as possible because I expect that people will be ordering between now and launch and the next 'few' deliveries could be sold out before they even get to the shelves.

It seems that the Series S is not in as high a demand - I heard that shops were getting quite a few less Series S's but still sold out of Series X consoles much faster. If you can find a store with Series S's and you definitely want one at launch, pre-order as soon as possible before someone else does. Shops may well also take orders for subsequent deliveries so the sooner you pre-order, the higher up the queue you will be. As soon as shops get new stock, they will be working through the queue and the sooner you order, the higher up the queue you will be.

@BAMozzy
Thank you! and I made a mistake, I meant buy, so what would you recomend, I am planning on buying it from Best Buy, what would you recomend I do,
