Blue controller looks good. I'll be sticking with the Elite 2 controller. Ms really have done a great job and making everything back compatible is another sign that they're customer focused.

Was getting a series X anyway. But this news is insane.

@abe_hikura Oh it totally was, can see this making a lot more people want to get it. Just means we're going to really be ready to pre-order at 8am. Going to have a few sites open in order of preference.

If I was MS I'd be cancelling those exclusive deals for Sony.

Insane! A mic drop moment for Microsoft.

This will have a massive impact on Sony in the years ahead.

Imagine these remasters coming to series X next year or the year after:
Fallout 3
New vegas
Skyrim

That's a solid 6 gaming franchises that are now xbox and PC only:

Doom
Dishonord
The elder scrolls
Fallout
Wolfenstein
Prey

Why couldn't they have waited until tomorrow! It's going to be even harder to get a pre-order now!

Gears of war 1, mainly because I played it in uni with my friend Dom.

Games I'll buy will probably be:

Blops Cold War
Dirt 5
FIFA 21

The falconeer looks interesting but has future gamepass game all over it.

The other games will just be gamepass games and the free upgrades to what I already have.

Everything coming out about the PS5 has really put me off getting one. The new Spiderman was the only real game from their launch line up I wanted. Will probably leave it until the end of next year before picking one up.

Why release older versions when the new controller version is coming out. Waste of effort and money.

Def getting the series X, but still on the fence about switching the PS4 Pro for the PS5. I was way more hyped for the PS4 release than I am for the PS5. Only about 4 or 5 games shown so far interest me and most of them are not launch titles. So might hold out for a GOW limited edition version next year.

Will def be getting Dirt 5 and I've been holding off playing Gears 5 since they said it was going to be improved. Will also play some horizon 4 to see the difference.

Voted for Immortals as well. Riders Republic trying to look "edgy" like the new watchdogs game.

@S1ayeR74 😂 That's what I was thinking as well. Everyone knows a wired connection is more stable. In the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter that much though.

This is great news, but would really have been better if they could have had some new expansion to release with it.

My gamepass ultimate is up in June of next year.

Should I get the series X at launch and buy a year or 2 of gamepass on black friday / cyber Monday.

Or just hold off getting the series X until June with this deal?

That's an insane price, but it's def going to be needed. As 1TB doesn't store a lot of games. I have nearly an 8TB external full of games and an additional 10TB one to add when the time comes. It's annoying you're going to have to constantly be moving games about. Should bundle one of these with the new black ops game.

Roll on pre-order time! Great price, will be interesting to see what Sony does now. Though really hope the rumored price of the 1TB expansion isn't true! Need that extra space for the games.

I'll be getting the series X. What games do "high end" PC gamers even play now? Still CSGO and PUBG? I haven't turned mine on in a year, so it's not high end anymore. 😂 I got sick of how many cheaters there were.

I'm not sure what all the hype is for? Don't know what the point of the game is, what ur doing in the game. Are you just going to draw circles round trees and save animals? Nothing that's been shown makes me think that it's a must play game. Was 12 minutes of waffle. Positives: it looks nice for a cel shaded game and will be on gamepass.

I do like the look of both consoles. Series S is more of an evolution than a completely new design. I think the series X looks better overall.

@Z3u5000 cool story bro

I like the design of it, it looks closer to the one S/X design that the series X. I'll still getting the series X. Could see a lot of people being tempted to get this and a PS5. Think with this price point the series X will def be under £500. I'd guess £450 for the series X.

Samsung note 20, the series S and game pass all for one monthly price. Was also talk of Samsung TVs going down the pay monthly and upgrade after a couple of years route. Could end up being a massive monthly bundle. 😂

I got 6, I stopped playing after underground

All of them will have been remade twice in that amount of time.

@NotoriousWhiz Not my first rodeo, have had it happen during previous generations. The deposit is to guarantee the product will be available for you. The money is taken off the total price of your order when the time comes to pay the balance for the product/s. Like going back I remember having to pay £5 deposit for each PS4 game along with a £20 deposit for the console. A game or two I pre-ordered with a deposit hadn't made the day 1 release. The deposit money from the games could be refunded or taken off the console. They're not going to charge you more than what the product actually is going on sale for. If they try to then report them and cancel the order. Another example is if you buy a blu-ray or dvd from amazon, they charge you the full price and then if the price drops before release they refund you the difference.

@playstation_king If Sony or Microsoft change the price and stores and retailers have started taking pre-order deposits they will just change the price at the final sale.

@S1ayeR74 😂 You order it and Microsoft come round to your house take your bank card and ask for your pin.

I voted November. At this rate both consoles will go on sale without a price. You'll have to add it to your basket and then it'll show you the price for 2 seconds before dissappearing again.

Worst new generation release in history! The lack of information being given especially so close to release is a joke. For both Microsoft and Sony.

I've not played any of these, so good month for me. I'll get round to them some time. 😂

Microsoft will soon want PS now to start performing better. Sony are paying to use Microsofts cloud. The more VMs, storage and network bandwidth Sony need the more they have to pay Microsoft. 😂

I'm not sure if I'm ready to stop playing modern warfare yet.

@Krzzystuff Do you really think Phil is actually man managing every person and thing that is happening in every studio they have? They have what? 16 studios and 343 industries alone has 450 staff. But damit Phil why are you not in there on site watching everything that's being done by everyone! There are levels of management in a corporation this size for a reason....... It's not his job to design, create, code and build everything. That's on the studio and their management. They would have had a deadline to get the trailer sent in by, so Phil and his management team could review and sign off. Maybe the deadline was missed and it was either show this or nothing. He might have been better not showing it and starting the show off with an announcement saying it was being delayed. Due to the amount of hype that had been built up he probably thought showing something was better than nothing. Blame him for showing the trailer, but blame the studio for the state of the game/trailer.

@sandman89 I couldn't get into battlefield one. Really wanted to as I had heard good things about it. I want to play through all the halo games too. There's most likely loads I've forgotten since I last played them.

I went for modern warfare, though I did really enjoy blops 4. Never got into WWII as much as the others. Blops 2 multiplayer was good too. Can't say I remember too much of the blops single player campaigns. Modern warfare was the best series.

@Tharsman yes smart delivery should only give you access to the files that you need for the Xbox you are playing on. That's why we were saying the bug is it's given everyone the series X upgrade data by mistake. So hopefully they're able to give people the opportunity to delete the excessive data they don't need. As they have actively promoted deleting data for the game modes you don't use to free up space. If it's nothing to do with the series X upgrade then it's a crazy useless patch as I was playing after it installed and noticed no difference.

@Tharsman they have said that they will be updating MW for series X. Hoping it'll be a free update, but knowing them they'll probably charge for it. Though this would be a bit early to release the patch for it. Though could be as you say getting ready for it. As the last patch they released did apparently do some house keeping. I guess it would be good if they give people the option to remove it if they're not planning on getting the series X. I can't wait for November though.

@KelticDevil I know, it's insane! They said they going to be giving people a free upgrade for the series X. I think most ppl will turn it down. It'll take up the whole of the extra drive you can add to the system. 😂

@Vincent294 I think I can remember seeing a slide from a talk or something that says the xbox one has 3 layers to it.

Hypervisor
Windows
Xbox one OS

I belive that is why they've found backwards compatability easier than Sony. They just have a 360 VM running on the hypervisor. More recently the OG xbox OS. The problem is licencing to get the games to be playable.

@sandman89 what's ur go to multiplayer fps shooter?

Boo! I haven't got one! 😭

Can't wait for the next COD game. The ultimate edition is going to come with its own external HDD.

Will grab shadow of the tomb raider. I didn't get finishing it while it was on gamepass.

What the heck is going on in the world! Everything is wrong. Buy a game to play a demo? They can take a long walk off a short pier. I'll wait for this to join gamepass rather than giving them money and encouraging this practice.

I'm def getting it day 1. Can set myself a challenge to play through all the other halo games before the new one comes out. 😁 I was also going to start playing Gears 5, but when they said it was being upgraded I decided to leave it. I won't be rushing to get a PS5 for a good while. Still a good lot of games to play through on the PS4 first. They haven't really spoken about their backwards compatibility. Got to say I hate this dragged out approach to this new generation. It's shocking, I hate it so much.

I hope the last month of games with gold will go out with some great games. This months aren't great tbf.

@AJDarkstar No cookie, don't feed trolls

@Tharsman You're right, I had forgotten they are going more open world. 😂

@DavLFC Linus on YouTube did a video a while ago comparing the different refresh rates. Def seems to be a benefit.

@FraserG you guys do a terrific job. This site has been a revelation since its return.

Agree with all here, it def needs a map! It's a lot better than I thought it was going to be.

Kind of strange having the single player and multiplayer at different FPS.

@AJDarkstar well done, I guess?

@kuliddar 100%

Ah so close, 14 out 15. Soo many good games!

Wow, such negativity. I guess 100 games at launch just isn't enough for some people. Def a better showcase than Sony put on.

Couldn't watch it live, but checked the live blog. Now watched this and I'm read through all the news articles. Been great coverage by everyone at PureXbox!

It's looking good, can't wait to play it. Will be interesting to see what they've done with the career mode. Until then will just keep playing the older games and horizon 4 getting an update will be great to see.
