@Nightcrawler71 depends on the HDD controller that utilised the actual usb. You could have usb 3.0 (or 3.1) with slow or fast controller, or usb 2.0 with same... Also spin speed of the HDD eg 7200 or 5400 RPM?
So, no way of telling without a huge table showing combinations!

I must be heartless, nothing jumping out at me that I haven't already got or already finished...

Don't get me wrong, it is appreciated, but 60fpd at 4k is sort of pretty 'standard' for the Xbox series X
I'm sure it'll be silky smooth and responsive and so on but I'm more interested in ray-traced 30fps.
The games that seem to render at 6k and downscale are pretty interesting of course!
As long as games are a steady 30fps, I'll be ok with it.
I'm thinking of my experience playing deliver us the moon at 4k30fps, instead of lower 60 frames per second.
It's probably why I'm slightly surprised at AC Valhalla been 4K 30fps and it doesn't have any Ray tracing...
Of course each to their own - as long as we all enjoy ourselves on launch day 😉
Just occurred to me to ask - 60fps on an offer gen console vs 30fps on a new console with much reduced latency - what would be the best experience?

I could do with a reveal of a AAA exclusive game that actually is going to hit us, say, Easter.
Obviously something that's not Halo Infinite

Oh that looks good! I picked up the GOTY version as soon as they announced a free upgrade, so I will just wait to play it then

4k at 60 FPS isn't coming in at on XSX is not that big a surprise...
1080 in the XSS raises a few eyebrows, well, 2 here to be exact, i expected more from that system

Game UK rang and asked if they could book a half hour slot to pay in full the week before (I chose Wednesday 4pm)
Didn't send to make much difference a all the money is in game wallet...
Slightly concerned that they started talking about the 30 minutes would cover my options re games and accessories!
I'll be in there for 2 minutes to pay for the console, sod them for this cheap and tacky up-selling strategy

Played first 2, voted 2, just cos more to do, but I remember both as very repetitive

Nah, to many other TV subscriptions available, plus, I really cannot stand Apple

Wow, such long comments, debate and discussions!
I only hopped on to say that the GP (ultimate) works out really well for me, and I'm really looking forward to what's coming up in future.
Great to see not only the creativity and freedom, but also the thought of blockbuster games that we haven't really had before.
Someone above doesn't like the GP model, so to don't subscribe, but I'm like that with PSN, I detest that Sony close down their multiplayer servers, especially VR ones, cos only a 'few' people play

Not fussed about the delay, other things to play.
All things come to those who wait

Half tempted to get this, but to much to do in other games first.

Impressive. Can't help but wonder what the ps5 comparison is? Same but with dynamic 4k? Would don't admit to that?
Are all these 60fps stats actually dynamic 4k, but XsX will sustain it better than the ps5? Much better?
Or, from reading about a buyout on 9th, is that why we haven't got an equivalent story on ps5 sites ( like we normally would in multi platform themes) ?
And if Unisoft are being bought out, would you still but WDL in disc, or wait till games pass?

I don't understand why don't we just have 2 different areas of coating for the armour, weapons vehicle etc instead of just 1?
And if that means changing a 7 layer shader into 2 lots of 3 layers, then surely that's not breaking the resource bank? Obviously I do not know what I'm talking about, when I'm talking about layers or shaders, but there is some logic there!

And people were worried about the Xbox Series X running too hot?

I'm sure it won't taking too long to integrate some features into.
what I think is really good as they voted to pre-download before you buy

This feature still be very handy - even though I tend to play through 1 game at a time, I like to try different ones and dip into different online games (not midgame, but even at the load screen will be handy)

Nice idea re stick, I'd get one.
intrigued by platinum level!

Oh God, please do not get into bed with Oculus Facebook!

I'd been saying that this is a big area of next gen, but more so Xbox, that MS and Devs will find difficult to put across when more gamers want or expect there to make the big boost in graphics (and sound) that we would have had in the early generations.(they will be disappointed, until raytracing properly kicks in)
It's a worthy headline but most people will just look at the graphs and say Eh? What?
It's an early that I'm looking forward to for one, even though I'm far from a professional gamer

Excited is an under statement. Cannot remember the wait being so bad last gen...

Having worked in corporate branding, this is a big oversight. Presuming a mistake and will be fixed

I didn't do good on AC Origins, and sorry of regretted it, so went gold with AC Odyssey.
Reckon gold is a must for me on ACV, looks good content

So I've got all my old Xbox One X games on external SSD and HDD. Will it smart delivery update them on those drives? Do I need to transfer them to the internal? Will it offer or force to move games from external to internal? Just the smart delivery games?
I'm probably more confused now than ever

The reveal of Xbox one X a few years back convinced to me that MS were serious about (internal) design.
At the start of the year (?) the way they got journalists (inc DF) to actually put together the components showed they were really getting serious, and importantly, getting it right first time for this next gen.

Earned respect back

I'll use s clip for the dual shock 4 I kept over from a trade in

Hoping to try this sometime but lots to do before that, so good to hear it might be long term

This is fine by me, performance mode later might be good but I want my Ray tracing

At the minute I'm on level 15 of 15 in Luigi's mansion 3 on the switch.
However seeing the image of good old Blinx, I have 1) amnesia as to whether I actually finished the game or not (I suspect maybe) and 2) a real hankering to play this classic once again. I had completely forgotten about this, despite all the hype of how I could never have been recreated on the opposing console, because of its use of capturing your position on the hard drive, to be used for the term travel sections. Wow, really brought back some memories.
The Xbox series X cannot come fast enough

Crazy move but if anyone could do it and if anyone would do it it's going to be the big MS.
Could you imagine Sony doing this? LOL !

Xbox series series X? Xbox series X X?

Thanks all for the feedback re 4k assets, system ram and whatever. Guess it was a good choice for speed and resources.
The PS5UI looked good, I remember a patent for the video help system popping up a few years ago, thought it's the kind of thing I would use, but having to have PSN to support it is a big no nay never.

It's funny how I read all the article, and all the valid comments above, and the only thing that really captured me was the single word STARFIELD.
The rest was just... other stuff.

Dragging my mind back to the topic, a few exclusives would be nice - if it's good enough for Sony then it's good enough for MS.
I'm pretty much getting the PS5 for r&c, so will others do the same for Elder 6? Well, yes, they will

Good on him! would an hour be enough?

@BlueOcean pretty much the only reason I'm getting a PS5 is to play Ratchet and Clank !
I just can't see myself owning that many games on the system even over 5 years.
Nearly everything will be game pass ultimate for me , plus whatever Xbox exclusives and then games released for both consoles will get purchased for the Xbox.
I've it all worked out

I will get round to playing this one day...

I'll still not be buying it, didn't like the whole exclusivity thing with Spiderman... That's just me being huffy

If it makes it run fast and smooth then no harm I suppose, but how come Gears 5, with all that AI, maybe ray tracing (you get the idea), is at 60fps, and this is just a glorified menu?!
If it miraculously restricted quick resume to 6 instead of 7 games (no idea what the upper limit is!) then it might be more acceptable,
It does begger belief though

Nice to hear all these positive comments. What will be interesting - in a couple of years when all the novelty of fast loading and quick resume has worn off (their handiness won't wear off I know!)
Then when the new releases, built for next gen, come out in 18 months time we will be able to see what difference teraflops and faster SSD etc make to head to head comparisons.
Until then I'm sure no matter what console you get, we'll all have a great fun

Improvements might be in the final build, and I'd guess that it hits true 4k more then the xb1x dynamic 4k (?)
another thing to consider that this wasn't built from the ground up for the series x...
But still the load time is still mightily impressive.

That's a good lineup! But I think Borderlands 2 awaits, hasn't long started it before trade-in day

ACV is well out in front! I voted for it, but it's surprising because it didn't seem to be be bells and whistles (eg ray tracing)
I know graphics aren't everything!
Tetris interests me, but it won't be several hours gameplay, but something to return to every so often.
My other biggy was to be watch dogs, but how is it going to push it with no main character (not that I know of!)
Whatever way, I hope you all enjoy your next xbox come release date peace to you all

It was always out of my price range, and I have quite fancied one for a while, but my word Power A controller with 2 programmable buttons on the back is all I ever use.
Looking forward to using the XSX controller, but without the gigantic step up that Sony has made with the new ps5 controller, I'll probably still use the Power A

Amazing to see the effort here, fanatic job by a company that actually cares about the player.
Even more amazing is the turnaround from the company they were when the Xbox 1 one was announced, all video input, picture on picture, TV, and no talk of games.

Android ones interest me, debating how much time I'll actually spend streaming. Cost might price then it of my range though

Glad that they are hiring to talent, and also glad that those people can shift to a more 'humane' workplace

I'll give it a replay eventually, in pretty sure it's a game I got free, (maybe a bundle?). Too many other titles to play.
Mind you, articles like this will make me want to revisit it (eg getting a few hours outside!) to see fps and hdr.
I wonder if I'll notice the difference - couldn't see it on the video!

I'm interested to see if my backwards compatible Alan Wake save game on the Xbox One X will transfer to the 360 when I play it next week

Not long finished Borderlands 1 on backwards compatibility. I was only a few hours into Borderlands 2 handsome collection, before I traded in, but was very impressed at the graphics improvement.
So it will be interesting to see how big a jump this is!
On saying that, I will finish 2 then prequel, before I actually start on 3, so might take a little while
