Good thing I'm in no rush to buy an S then. I'm trying to save more money even though I have enough to buy two S's. @FraserG you put Xbox series X twice (5th paragraph according to my tablet).
I stopped playing it on Xbox because of the glitched textures on basically everything. Been playing it on ps4 instead where the base version looked much better than Xbox One. Hopefully the S version won't have glitched textures.
Was waiting for Dying Light to be on sale as that was the last physical game I have that wasn't yet digital. Can now use all my physical games to put towards an Xbox series s on store credit.
I'm getting an S but when things settle down after christmas. And to those complaining about no disc drive, you have to install games anyway so I just thought 'F it' and bought all my physical Xbox one games digitally when they were on sale. Going to put them towards the price of the Series S lol. Also digital means less game cases to clean when they get dusty with not being touched in ages.
Now I know how PlayStation fans feel with a lack of info. I want to see games for the S/X running on the hardware and not 'running on a PC representative of target performance' like with Scorn. All they've shown so far is backwards compatibility. Still getting an S though.
I'm binning my Fatbox One once I get a Series S. I'll factory reset it and chuck it into the communal bins. Get people rooting through them. They could sell it off themselves after giving it a wipe. Keeping the controllers though.
@Fath thanks. I used to think my job was easy but boring. Now it's incredibly boring because I'm wiping the same damn things everyday since the pandemic started lol. Handles, switches, chairs, keyboards, mice, tables, drawer handles, filing cabinet handles, phones. Can't even focus on playing games much now.
Hoping I'm still alive to get it. Just found out where I clean there were two confirmed cases of coronavirus last week, and one of them was in the office next door to the one I was cleaning because I heard a lot of coughing, and today that office was locked and taped up. I hate 2020.
@ralphdibny if they're still available where I buy them from (B and M, where what you buy is there one week gone the next forever) I'm all set for 70% alcohol wipes for cheap. I'll be wiping my S down when I eventually buy one, but not before giving it a quick sniff for my first experience of new console smell.
Wait until they're easily available. I'm in no rush. Also plenty of time between release and catching coronavirus so I'm following all OCD urges and washing my hands to the bone and not touching my face until I get home which means blinking a lot if I get a fly in my eye walking home from work.
I hope you can download mods for Skyrim via the backwards compatibility. I want to run all the mods that previously made my game crash and then do laps running through Dragon Bridge. That place nearly always crashes no matter what mods you use.
November 10th seems so far away considering I live in Preston which is currently one of the top 5 for infection rates for coronavirus in England land. Hoping to bag an S from brick and mortar when they're easily available.
I suppose I can wait until the series S is available to buy for a new controller. You have to press A hard on my current controller which wouldn't be bad if it weren't a requirement to go faster on Tony Hawks 1 and 2. That game convinced me I needed to buy a new controller but none are currently available and I ain't buying no wired one.
I never pre order consoles. I've only pre ordered one game (portal knights) and I'm never pre ordering again because it didn't have public multiplayer (friends only). Series S will be my first none pre owned console if I'm still alive by then if you know what I mean with current events.
Off topic but saw someone on Twitter say that now they should do a doom/halo crossover, or add doom guy to halo lol. Or Killer Instinct.
You can tell he knows that we'll never know it's there even though it's technically in full view. Would've been funnier if the 'speaker' was shown with a radio placed next to it.
I'm in no rush to get one. Waiting until it's easily available. Until then I'll keep adding to the small but slowly growing nest egg I've been saving thanks to coronavirus. Currently have enough for 2 S consoles lol. Coronavirus got me scared of touching money which has made it easier for me to save up. When I do spend money it's with a glove on my right hand and the money is kept in a food bag in my left pocket so my ungloved left hand can get it out.
Maybe someone can leak what happened to the Xbox one controllers. I can't find any new wireless ones anywhere where I live. No way I'm buying a wired one. They break easy.
S all the way. Most of my games are digital now thanks to sales. Still got the physical versions lol. I'm too lazy to change discs and with having to install discs anyway I might as well go all in on digital.
Going to save even more now lol. Need some spare change in case my dog has to go to the vets/rspca. If things go as I hope this will be my first non-pre owned console. I need to smell new console smell.
Weird. I was at work cleaning today and I think about things because it's boring and repetitive, and one of those thoughts was can pc users use an Xbox one controller for Horizon zero dawn.
Provided I can play it on a standard HD tv, I should be able to outright one, provided the cheaper model exists. I have a nice nest egg thanks to coronavirus pandemic and not wanting to buy what I don't need.
For a next gen game he looks worse than vanilla Skyrim facial expressions wise. At least you know on Skyrim when they're angry. Craig looks not bothered.
I know I can easily switch my region then switch back but I don't want to as just the thought of doing that annoys me. Also I'm paranoid I might get banned as rare as that may be.
@F3NIXII I could do that but I shouldn't have to do that, especially now that it's going to be available in the uk on steam from a list I saw that someone screenshotted on Twitter. Also I'm not doing that because I'd rather have it available to download without jumping through hoops. Really pi55es me off when Xbox locks out some of their player base and makes things US only.

If I had more money I'd get that over the S just for the box.

Re: Poll: Which Next-Gen Xbox Are You Currently Planning To Buy?

Re: Poll: Will You Be Picking Up An Xbox Series X This November?
I'll be getting the cheaper one as long as I can play all games on my standard peasant HD TV. Also to see if Skyrim is more stable with mods.
Re: Xbox Insiders Can Playtest Hotshot Racing For Free This Weekend

Re: Phantasy Star Online 2 Heads To Steam, Includes Crossplay With Xbox
@F3NIXII I could do that but I shouldn't have to do that, especially now that it's going to be available in the uk on steam from a list I saw that someone screenshotted on Twitter. Also I'm not doing that because I'd rather have it available to download without jumping through hoops. Really pi55es me off when Xbox locks out some of their player base and makes things US only.
