I'm still playing it. I'm about 170 hours in and still have plenty to do. It's not perfect, no, but I'm really enjoying myself. I like exploring the galaxy, doing the side quests, and talking with all the NPC's to listen to their stories. I'm really taking it all in. I don't feel a need to rush through the game to get to other stuff. I'll get to other stuff later when I'm done. Until then, I'll continue enjoying the vibe.
Since I got my XSX in early March I've spent a good chunk of my gaming time with it and have been pretty impressed. It feels like the most complete Xbox system I've ever used right out of the gate and making it one of the best consoles I've ever used in its first year. The fact its fully backwards compatible with all things the Xbox One could and even improves on many of those games with faster load times, better visuals, and better performance, it's so nice. I also want to note that, because some stores were only selling both Xbox Series X and S via Xbox All Access, I was actually able to obtain it. It helped to sift out all the bots and scalpers and get the system in the hands of normal consumers, which makes me very happy.
As for complaints, the only complaints I have are very specific to me as a multi system owner. Those being they've moved away from remote play on PC that they had already working on Xbox One requiring you to download a separate app and it doesn't work quite as well. Also they removed the HDMI in from Xbox One, which I was using as a work around to stream 360, Wii U, and Switch. Thing is, there's work arounds for all those things. As noted, there's a separate app for PC streaming and I just bought a cheap capture card for other systems that worked as good as using my Xbox One to stream. Outside of this, I have no complaints. I got a lot to play on it thanks to BC and the massive improvements on many games and I have Game Pass for 2 years which gives me access to a constant library of games. I'll be getting a lot of gaming out of this.

Re: The Console Wars Are Over: Ed Zarick's Dual Format Laptop Is a Thing of Beauty
This is actually pretty cool. If I were to decide to get the systems, I may look into getting this instead.

CD Projekt Red is way too awesome!
Re: Sunset Overdrive Hits the Charts in Japan
It's good to see something on the system making some sort of appearance in the charts there.
