It would go completely against their vision to leave one of the consoles behind, especially when we're talking about emulating 15 year-old games.

I wonder... If they had included an Elite controller for that same $499 price, would that tip the scales for any of us at launch? That's essentially a $100 difference between the base model.

At the event, Phil Spencer said it will launch "across the Xbox One family," so I assume that means all consoles. The original XB1 isn't different enough from the XB1S to really do one and not the other.

We missed the first two generations of Xbox, but we're aware of a lot of games that we'd like to enjoy. I'm hoping this is disc based, as you can still find a lot of the old games used.

Re: Xbox One: $249 now, so I guess we have to change the title AGAIN

It looks like I already was pushed my Mixer mixpot of stuff from watching the conference, as it is all queued to be installed on my Xbox one.

A question on Rare Replay digital. It is installing Rare Replay, and each game. There are two copies of each game though one with a Rare Replay logo at the top, and the other (I'm assuming the Xbox 360 backwards compatible title) without the Rare Replay logo. Does anyone know if it's safe to delete one of them?

I'm trying to remember where I put all of my OG Xbox games. I don't remember getting rid of them, so I assume they are in a box somewhere.

Oh man. I can't wait to play these games for the first time. Especially PDO. I think I read about it long long ago and always wanted to play, but I was a Nintendo man at that time. Any estimated date of implementation?

Just login to mixer with your linked Microsoft account, and watch one of the E3 daily shows at https://mixer.com/Xbox. You get a free digital copy of Rare Replay which includes PD0, and others.

They said it will launch later this year, so I'm guessing around November, like the 360 DC did. It's possible they may do another Insider Preview as well.

Rare Replay doesn't have Panzer Dragoon.

Does it have to be live stream? Is there a certain amount of time you have to actually watch? When do you get the game? Though I think I have it and def don't remember Panzer Dragoon...

Will this have the TV passthrough again? Or are we going to back gaming only?

Because that's a Sega game. PDO when talking in the Rare ecosystem means Perfect Dark Zero.

They're keeping HDMI passthrough on the XB1X. It's not something they're going to remove this generation.

The Duke is back — or at least a reproduction of the original, notoriously gigantic Xbox controller will be available this holiday season for Xbox consoles and Windows 10 PCs, thanks to a partnership between Microsoft and Hyperkin.

The retro controller will be “a faithful recreation of the original controller's form-factor with some updated features: a logo display screen, left and right bumpers, and a 9 ft. detachable cable,” according to the description accompanying the YouTube video above.

Will it be bigger than the X console itself? It'll be close!

Knew I had at least a few games left, even after the ones I sold during that awesome buyback program Target had years back where I got a ton of store credit. In total still have 15 games left, highlights: PGR
PGR2
HALO
HALO 2
GTA San Andreas
Oddworld Munch's Oddysee
Metal Arms
and oh yeah Crimson Skies

I guess I need to dig out my old Xbox games. I have them in a box in the basement somewhere, along with a Duke controller

It would be awesome if I could plug the controller in as well.

Wow... Poker Smash is being removed from BC as of 06/12.

But at least they gave me Hexic 2 for free because of it.

So if we didn't bother to install the game on our X1, we don't get Hexic 2?

Re: Xbox One: S $249 Now / X $499 November 7 2017

So... "smallest Xbox ever" I guess is technically true, but barely According to the chart, looks like it's heavier though!

http://www.anandtech.com/show/11536/...9-november-7th

Microsoft is going for a super slim design on the console, announcing that it’s the “smallest Xbox ever”, placing it below even the already slimmed-down Xbox One S. At 300mm x 240mm x 60mm, the console is 5mm wider and 10mm deeper than the Xbox One S, but it's 5mm shorter than said console. Or to put things in terms of volume, it's 98% the volume of the Xbox One S, indeed making it smaller, though just slightly so.

Re: Xbox One: S $249 Now / X $499 November 7 2017


Microsoft unveiled its new Xbox One X game console last night, and the company is using a variety of logos so consumers can tell which games are enhanced for the new system. A new “Xbox One X Enhanced” logo will be visible on retail games and in the Xbox Store, and Microsoft says it lets gamers know “when a developer has done special work to take advantage of Xbox One X’s 6 teraflops of performance, and to distinguish it from existing Xbox One titles.”

That “special work” might not always be very clear, but Microsoft expects dozens of titles to be updated and “enhanced” for the Xbox One X. Microsoft is using three logos in total for new Xbox One games, including the enhanced logo, a 4K indicator, and a symbol for HDR support. The 4K support will mean a game has a 2160p frame buffer output, that includes Native 4K, Checkerboarding, and Dynamic Resolution. HDR support is just the regular HDR10 standard that already exists on the Xbox One S.

Enhanced for Xbox One X will be the slightly more confusing out of all three logos, as developers can choose from a range of ways to improve their games for the new console. At the minimum it will mean existing titles are updated to take more advantage of the hardware capabilities of the Xbox One X, or that a developer has used the most recent developer tools. Even if games aren’t specifically enhanced for the Xbox One X, Microsoft claims they’ll still play better on the new console.
