Out of stock now.

Re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
 

It oddly doesn't say out of stock when I login to my account, but the estimated received date is about 1-2 weeks after launch with free shipping.

Re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
 

Yeah, they re-stocked it, Now I see it available as well.

Still gonna wait on getting one as I don't have a 4K TV and will be getting a PS5 at launch for my Next Gen games.

Maybe I will get a Limited Edition model with the next Halo game comes out...

Re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
 

I think I’ve decided to wait on finishing Control. The load times are just ridiculous. 1 minute vs. 10 seconds!! It’s one month. As much as I’m loving and addicted, I die a lot on boss fights. Maybe 50+ times on one boss or the other. That’s 50 minutes of waiting! And I only play a few hours per week!! Now, 5 minutes!! Just think how much more playing time I would have. I got to, I just got to. It doesn’t make sense not to.

:lol: What? I eat more junk food when I game. I can't be the only one. :shrug:

Re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
 

I’m sorry, but what’s the bottom line up there? Better bc using internal SSD? Are games going take up less space now?

Re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
 

Yakuza: Like a Dragon gameplay on Series X is no longer under embargo. Nothing too special in terms of game fidelity/performance but this is a cross-gen game, so I don't think people expected too much.




Still... the game looks fun and ridiculous as hell. :lol: I'm almost done Yakuza 0, so I'm thinking I'll dive straight into Y:LaD with my Series X in November before playing through the rest of the game series. Should be fun. :)

Re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
 

Hah yeah, even entirely maxed out on PC it isn't the fanciest of game series.

Re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
 

I wish I had enjoyed the Yakuza game I played more. It seems like it has character, but the gameplay wasn't clicking for me.

Re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
 

I just got this. Figured I would need it for the optimized and then newer games. Hopefully, GB is smaller on downloads, but we don’t know yet, do we? Anyway. I’ll have the 2 SSDs and 8TB HDD to plug in, I think I’ll be good and can at least not have to keep adding and deleting game from storage devices...

Re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
 

Anyone else getting another SSD on release?

Re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
 

Probably not. I don't play that many games at once, so deleting and redownloading isn't too big of an issue for me.

Re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
 

Yeah, not for a while. I've got a legacy external hard drive I'll use for storage and previous gen games. If/when I start maxing out the internal SSD on XSX games, I'll store them on the hard drive and transfer as needed. When that gets annoying, I'll consider an add-on SSD.
I do hop around between 3-6 games, but some of those are less resource intensive GamePass or back-compatible games.

Re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
 

Do we even know how big the games are this time around? like how many games can the regular hard drive hold?

Re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
 

I don't believe I've seen anything for the new Xboxen, but we know a few for the PS5. (Some of these have been officially listed; others I found on a Google search and may not be accurate.)

• Destruction AllStars - 26 GB
• Sackboy - 32 GB
• Godfall - 50 GB
• Miles Morales (standalone) - 50 GB
• Assassin's Creed: Valhalla - 50 GB
• Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition - 60 GB
• Watch_Dogs: Legion - 65 GB
• Demon's Souls - 66 GB
• Cyberpunk 2077 - 70 GB
• Miles Morales + Spider-Man: Remastered - 105 GB
• Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War - 140 GB

MS did say that developers can deliver 1440p-quality assets to the Series S, so filesizes could be something like 30% smaller there than on the Series X.

Re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
 

So if those are close to Series X, I should be ok with just the base drive if I put all the backward compatible stuff on an external AND I avoid Call of Duty (and probably Battlefront and NBA 2k) like the plague.

Re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
 

You could put all of them on the Xbox Series X and all but 1 on the PS5... so unless you plan on playing those many games at the same time... safe with a regular external hard drive.

They all add up to the PS5's 664GB available, but you know there will be updates...

We will know for sure next month! :D

Re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
 

A fun trick I saw on ResetERA if you preordered from Amazon...!

My Xbox Series X preorder has been saying "Order received" from word one, leaving me wondering if it'd actually be here at launch. Tonight, I clicked 'Change shipping speed', didn't actually change anything, clicked 'Confirm', and...voila!

Re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
 

Boo! That didn't change anything for me. I did exactly what you did, but it still shows "Not yet shipped. We will email you when we have an estimated delivery date."

Re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
 

The theory is that it’s geographic. If “your” fulfillment center knows how many consoles they’re getting, it’ll update. But as you saw, it’s definitely not working for everyone. :(

Re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
 

Fake news, ADAM!
;)
I tried it with my PS5 game pre-orders, too, because :shrug: but it didn't update. Ah well.

Re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
 

Worked for me. I wonder if it's legit.

Re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
 

Cool. Did work for me as well. May not mean anything but it feels better :) Thanks!
