So many good games. I went for GTA 3, though Vice City and SA were a lot better. But for me going from the PS1 to the PS2 and seeing GTA 3 for the 1st time it was like wow. Also think GTA 5 was better than GTA 4. I went to the midnight release of GTA 4 and stayed up to play it and was disappointed with it. GTA 5 online doesn't count.
Mine had WiFi issues, was 1/5 the connection speed of the one X. When in a race in dirt 5 it would stutter and the rumble wouldn't work. The rumble not working is a known issue that codemasters are working on. Tetris effect wouldn't start, had to uninstall and reinstall to get it to run. Though that's a game to show off your email C9 or CX in a dark room! Looks soo good! Modern warfare was unplayable, then uninstalled and reinstalled it. Was a good bit better but still stuttered quite a bit. Then 5 days later the series X died. I got a refund from Microsoft as they didn't have any that they could send out to replace it. 🙁
@BraniclesUK Do they need to though? At the end of the day it's you that's going in to buy tech from them. They're not like PC world, they're not there to push you into buying anything. They don't approach you to ask to help you or what are you looking for? Everything I've bought from them I've walked in, pointed to it, paid and left.
@Nightcrawler71 My series X died on me. WiFi connection was awful and when racing in dirt 5 it would stutter like mad. Originally modern warfare was unplayable. Tried on playing from the external and then moved to the internal. Then uninstalled and reinstalled. Was slightly better but still quite a bit of stuttering. Also had an issue with tetris, after I had downloaded in to the internal drive it wouldn't start. Uninstalled and reinstalled and it started working. Then on Monday morning went to turn it on and was getting nothing to the TV. So it's away back to Microsoft and I've requested a refund. Will stick with the one X and try another series X some time next year. Had ordered this as it is a must have if you're not wanting to keep uninstalling and reinstalling games. Might be on offer black friday 2021. There should also be others released by then. As Samsung only has a set time of exclusivity.
@FraserG @WesEds 😂😂 Can see all the ones that have faked it asking themselves: "But that's the fix for everything tech. How could they not ask me to try that."
Ordered the 1TB expansion card from game today. Currently using a WD 10TB external drive and have a Seagate 8TB external drive sitting to add if needed.
@AJDarkstar Yea, sucks to not have an Xbox for a few days. Hopefully we'll be lucky and get it delivered early. See someone in Portugal has gotten one already!
@AJDarkstar The money has been taken and the site has been updated with estimated delivery date of 10th! Would be great to get it early as I'm getting rid of the one X on Saturday. 😂
Aliens and then dead space for me. I hate playing scary games. 😂 Haven't got round to playing little nightmares yet. I will eventually talk myself into playing it.
Played a good bit of it on the PC and it was buggy and full of cheats. Tried it on the one X, got into one match and it was completely unplayable. Maybe they've improved it since last year. 😂
I cancelled my call of duty black ops cold War pre-order after playing the beta and getting shot by cheaters. So think I'll pick this up instead. Even though I still have the last 2 games to finish. 😂
I love my series 2 controller! When I got it I also bought the Microsoft 3 year extended warranty for £15. Was def worth it and a bit of steal.
I had to send it off to get replaced / fixed as up on the left thumbstick stopped working. They said it could take up to 3 weeks to get it back but was back in under 2 weeks. Very happy with the service.
I'm sorry but I hated having to use the normal controller for that week or so. 😂
Looking forward to the series 3 and would be amazing if they added it to the new design lab.

Oh dam, when you think about how much you spend on gaming. Ah well, roll on the series X! 😂
Unless you're really desperate, why would you not just wait until it starts up again with the new controller? Would be awesome if they offered it for the Elite 2 or the 3 when it comes out.
@Valhalla91 😂 I had a look and they have a "pro" version of the subscription for £15 a month that does get you their latest games. That's def nowhere near as good an offering as gamepass.

Re: Talking Point: What Have You Bought In The Xbox Black Friday Sale?
Got Control ultimate edition and now it's coming to gamepass. 😂
Also got Tony hawks, crash 4 and FIFA 21 (forgive me).
Got a year of gamepass.
@cbodz where did you get that gamepass deal? Or did you convert gold to gamepass for £1?
