I like the fact I will keep the 360 games even when my subscription ends. Have got LOADS of games in my list I haven't even touched and with gamepass I'm spoiled for choice. I remember when I paid for Live and got nothing but online. Happy for anything "Free".
Loved my 360. My first one eventually RROD. I then bought a second hand one from GAME that got banned. I took it back and spent more and got an Elite. Only sold that bad boy recently. Some amazing memories of playing online with friends. L4D, Borderlands and PES. Great fun.
I'm good till 3/5/23. Mainly because I used a promotion on an energy drink that gave you 2 weeks of ultimate per can. My local shop was doing an offer of £1.50 for 2. Probably killed half my internal organs but have ultimate for next couple of years for next to nothing. Yay!
Saw someone on Facebook getting lots of abuse for trying to flog a series X for £600. Rightly so. Quite a few series s around £350 mark popping up as well.
I've got a 8tb external HDD. Took 4½ minutes to transfer 35gb from internal to external so honestly no skin off my nose to do this. Can wait for Xbox storage to come down in price.
It's the same but a lot nicer. Pretty much what I wanted. Outer wilds I had to look up in the store as didn't appear in my owned games. Bit strange. Hopefully not any other games I've bought not showing.
@Fenbops freedom! Just been told can go half hour early as quiet... Think my manager didn't even finish her sentence and my coat was on. Home by 6. Sadly say hi to my wife and son before hooking up the beast!
@Fenbops I'm in work and my wife's been waiting in today for it. Not happy it hasn't come yet... I will face the rath when I get home (and hopefully a shiny new series X.)
My wife complains about nothing on Disney plus to watch. Mainly because we are old and watched most of the stuff on it. To my 5yr old son however it's a wealth of cool stuff he hasn't seen. I'm looking forward to new Marvel content and Soul. Have had my monies worth out of the service but any discount/freebie would be cool from Xbox.
Red Dead redemption with its 4k patch. Love the first game so much. Need to give the second game a chance as only a few hours in and sadly didn't have time to play with everything that's been happening in my life.
I'm currently rocking a 1080p 55" Sony TV. Will be getting a LG OLED 55" 4K with ability for 120fps for my 40th bday so everything is going to look better to me. Happy days!
@redd214 4 inches is massive (or so I keep telling my wife.) Xbox series X will fit nicely into my TV cabinet. PS5 would have no chance. I'm going to wait for smaller model to arrive before I get one.
I can honestly say I can't wait to get my series X. Everything I've seen ticks all the boxes for me. I'm happy to wait for the exclusives... And they will come! The list of studios is amazing.
Any month that stops me missing not having an Xbox till I get my sweaty hands on a series X is fine. Better bring their A game for November! 😄 Usually when I buy a game though it ends up on GWG. Expect Code Veronica in November then.
I was okay with £170ish for this. Still would have waited as got an 8tb external to use. £220 though... This is one expensive gen. Lucky my backlog is huge so will enjoy all the graphical upgrades on older stuff for now.
I'm so looking forward to getting my one. Have been promised a 4K TV for my 40th birthday in November the whole family are chipping in. Having this and my switch I'm happy. Will be following digital foundry to get me even more hyped.
Son waiting to go to school me also needing to get to work. MS site was like a slug in treacle. Got my order in finally on the stroke of 09:12 and most of that was trying to access the confirm payment. Son dropped at school just on time and I'm in work able to quickly grab a coffee before I start... Stressful. Now time to stress out in work. I see heart condition at early age in my future...
Got a 8tb I used for my One X that will migrate to my series X when bought. Really don't mind transferring between the internal and external for games. Just can't wait till 10/11/20!!
I've sold all but my kidneys recently (stripped my man cave completely so me and my boy can have a little boys cave, a 4k TV and a series X.) Has meant parting with some amazing retro consoles but am looking forward to getting something new and shiny. But it takes the shine off not knowing how much my new and shiny thing is. I've made enough not really to worry about price but would be great to know how much I'm dealing with, if I will get one and how much I can plow into a new TV( this is a major factor at minute with most 120hz TVs being the very, very, very high end of my budget.) I just need to know at this moment. Please someone break the stand off!
This is one I'm looking forward to. Tempted by getting it on Switch but then again would love to see it on Series X (if i actually manage to get one this year.)
Sold my One X before price decreases ready to throw the money at a series X. Just need to know how much more to pony up for the rest of it. Need prices! This close to release and nothing.
One of my all time favourite games. I have dipped back into it on regular occasions and like a few of you here playing it on switch (lovely ports.) Looking forward to seeing what the next installment is going to be. I sadly bought a vita when it was announced for that. To this day I wonder what it would have been like.
