$1800 all digital console with 1TB memory, that will be enough to store 5 or 6 next gen games.

But don't worry, there will be a 2TB hard drive that will cost another $400+ that will allow you store another 10 games.

Games of this quality ara what will help bring Xbox back to where it belongs.

They made the right choice keeping it as a console exclusive.

You've got to feel for poor Josh Daniels. I'm sure he will have been worried about his job these last few months, but that will have been replaced with elation and a huge sigh of relief when told he was being promoted.

Only to be sacked a few days later.

"Oddly, and probably a totally wild and rubbish thought, in this current gen I reckon Sony would be more happy with the industry stopping 2nd hand gaming."

@StonyKL Turns out your 'wild and rubbish thought" was on the money. You.called it 5 years early.

*A link on a current article led me here. In case you're wondering.

As an outsider looking in from a distance, I associate Xbox in 2026 more with bad news than I do with games. It's not a good look.

I realise in this instance, it's not entirely their fault - although, in many way it is. Microsoft's AI push is definitely contributing to this shortage. And they really should have anticipated it - but it's just more negative news to add on to the ever growing pile.

I'm watching through each trailer just now and something I can really appreciate is each trailer includes actual gameplay.

I really like the look of Magicians: The Devil's Deal... It looks like a 90's style FPS crossed with Bioshock.

Why are PureXbox reviews so rare nowadays? There's only been 3 since November.

Well this comment section was a game of two halfs. The 1st half surprised me, while the 2nd half went mostly as expected.

I got Fallout 76 for free off Amazon Prime Gaming the other day. The full game is ready to be installed on my Microsoft Store. The offer ended yesterday I think. I only have a Prime 30 day trial for when I'm back in the UK for Xmas. So it's a decent freebie.

@FraserG There's an even better version of Rock n Roll Racing on the Blizzard Arcade Collection. It has wide-screen and the original artist recordings. It includes the SNES and Megadrive versions as well.

@Nintendo4Sonic I imagine a fair few of the games shown at the Summer Games Fest will come to Switch 2. It will be like Switch, where the Switch 2 ports are announced separately, like in Directs, with most of them arriving months later.

I think there will be a Direct in the next couple of weeks.

Outrun Coast 2 Coast 2.

I've had my eye on this for a few weeks. I really hope it turns out well.I loved Ready 2 Rumble on Dreamcast. I haven't played a new boxing game since Fight Night on the GameCube.

@GamingFan4Lyf From what I've heard, they do intend to expand it. One of the games I'd most like to see is one I had never heard of until it appeared on my YouTube feed last week.It's called Red Earth and has some of the best pixel graphics I've ever seen. It's never been released outside the arcades so it would be a great addition to Arcade Stadium.

@skaarj217 The package includes a remastered version of RnR Racing with widescreen, special effects and extra background detail, as well as the SNES and Megadrive versions. Plus it has not only the original licensed songs, lyrics and all in CD quality but extra songs too like Breaking the Law. It looks and sounds fantastic. @Dandare4479

Blackthorne has the SNES version, 32x version with different graphics and extra maps and a definitive edition that adds a map and dynamic border art.

Lost Vikings has the SNES, Megadrive versions and a definitive edition that combines the best of the SNES and Megadrive versions. This also has the dynamic border art that changes depending on the stage.

On top of that, it includes a comprehensive museum with lots of art work, box art, interviews etc. And the whole thing is beautifully presented too.

For the work that's clearly gone into this, it's a bargain at $20.

@Krzzystuff Just spotted your reply. Cheers for the info, appreciated.

@Menchi @Richnj @BAMozzy @TheNewButler @BlueOcean

Cheers for the replies guys. I meant to get back to you earlier. I've only owned Nintendo consoles for the last 20 years, so the next gen consoles with 120fps and 4k, are surely going to blow me away.

@NeutronBomb A good way to make Xbox friends is through the forums on here.

Is 120fps gameplay a huge improvement over 60fps? I know it's double the frames but how noticeable actually is it when you're playing? Is it marginally smoother to the eye, or is it such a huge improvement that it's hard to go back to 60fps?

@BlueOcean I'll go with

PS5 - £419 / $449
PS5 All Digital Edition - £369 / $399

I wonder if Sony will now come in at a lower price point or match it? With the Series S coming in at such a low price, I don't think Microsoft will be too bothered if they do. If the Series X is indeed 'The most powerful console', then a £20 to £50 price difference isn't going to really matter.

It may well be that it's the Series S that's the biggest seller for the first year or two. I know I'm getting one and I've never owned an Xbox console.

A few of my mates own an Xbox but I've always stuck with Nintendo consoles. However I'm tempted to get one of the new consoles, probably the cheaper model along with Game pass. It's not much of an investment to get access to a huge library of games.

I'll try my best to join you guys here for the stream.
