re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
I'm all digital these days, or 99% of the time at least. So is the Series S fully compatible with Series X titles?

That box does look sexy... normally the box the product comes in means nothing to me.

It makes sense with the conversion rate, but still. I feel for my friends up North, but then I remember they don't have to deal with {REDACTED}. ;) If by some miracle MS announces that you can use the external NMVe drive to run Windows 10 on the Series X - I'm buying it Day 1. Otherwise, I'm probably going to wait for the price to drop a bit. I have a One X, so even if the Series S is more powerful - it's not as big a jump as I want/need. I plan on playing Flight Simulator on it - so that's going to need all the juice possible. |

re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
:lol: Stupid I know, but I went to GameStop and asked how they were going to do pre-orders? The girl behind the counter said, I don't know, but if you want a system and controllers, you better pre-order because they have already said we wasn't going to get any extras to sell. I was like, I figured that, that's why I wanted to know how things will be set up. If I didn't have so much store credit, I wouldn't even fool with them.

re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
They both look better in real life, seeing him handle the units and comparing the size to a PS4.
They're just the shells though, not working units. |
re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
The X doesn't look large at all. I really like the look of it.
The S looks tiny. |
re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
Noticed that they have taken the HDMI In out of this now. Right now I do not have a 4K tv but still looking to get the X since I don't have a 4k player either and want the best possible once I do upgrade my tv. Right now my Day 1 has been really acting up on me the last few months so figure might as well get a new system.

re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
Hmm...don't think the Series X would be able to fit in the small space where I currently have my One X. I'll figure something out. Looking forward to the Series X. :thumbsup:

re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
So is xbox one x still better than the series s? it has 6 teraflops vs 4 for series s.
or does the way better cpu propel the series s ahead of it? |
re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
^ the latter should be true. Teraflops are only one aspect... literally everything else should escalate the Series S over the One X.
But, that said... I'm sure the folks at Digital Foundry will be diving deep into that stuff the second they get a chance. |
re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
Don't forget that the S has an SSD. That is a HUGE factor for load times.

re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
I'm sorry, I'm still boggling as to the physical design of the X.
Aren't most home theater storage units horizontal and narrow? I don't even know if that will fit in mine. And I could put it beside it but that kinda defeats the purpose of having an entertainment center. So Series S (the digital one) is more powerful than the current One X? (with the exception of not supporting 4k) |

(with the exception of not supporting 4k) It's an odd design to be sure, but I don't think too many people will run into a major issue with it. That unpacking video actually shed a lot of light onto it. |
re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
I think the bigger problem may be the PS5... it's not as high when flipped horizontally, but because it's so tall - when horizontal it could be too wide for some entertainment centers or racks.

Oh hell yeah...
@Dolby: Introducing the next level of gaming. The Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S are the first consoles ever with gaming in Dolby Vision® (coming soon) and Dolby Atmos® (available at launch). @Xbox, welcome to gaming in Dolby. https://t.co/5lkpVT8ntb |

Nice.

re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
I've been assuming all along but I guess I should confirm: the Series X will play 4K movie discs, right? Cause that's a big reason why I want one.

re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
Yep 100%.
it's just not clear if it'll support Dolby Vision from 4K movie discs or if it'll be limited to HDR10 like the current consoles. Not a deal breaker by any means, but frustrating if they leave that out especially after the announcement that they're doing DV for games. |

Yep, just like the One X and One S - it has a UHD-BD drives in it.
