Xbox Series X / S

So the console is amazing and quick. Love it! The setup was so quick and easy.

I do have one disappointing problem though. The controller that came with the XBox makes this static noise when the headset is plugged in. The extra controller that I bought does not have that problem. And I really don't want to send back the whole console just for that. Will contact Microsoft and find out what I can do.

Update firmware on the controller ?

See! This is why you have test the thing properly :laugh:
 
Anyone heard anything from TakeALot in respect of the JHB deliveries of die X?
I havent heard anything today, no updates to the order status, so hopefully it will still arrive tomorrow as they promised over the phone yesterday. Fingers crossed!

True- I am just concerned that it has not shipped yet. Usually they ship the day before delivery.
 
Can tell you one thing that loads of online vids already said but don't really register till you see it in person

Series S is bloody small. I was seriously not expecting it to be THIS small. My Huntkey Mini ITX PC gonna look odd next to it.
I'd be interested to see the difference in switching in between games between the S and X. I don't know if I'm ready to fork out R12k on something that only I will use. I have two girls and they had a PS3 onto which I loaded dozens of games. They played for the first month and then lost interest. I ended up selling it to Cash Crusaders for R600 and bought myself booze and meat when I was broke one month
 
Loot has stock if anyone's looking

A better bet is Avo because with the R1k you save, you can get another controller :thumbsup:


Then sommer grab the play and charge kit for R399 as well
 
Is the new AC worthwhile ?
 
Let me tell you a little story of how I got an Xbox Series S and lost it on the same day :(

Sidenote: Mrs really loves her new media center. Oh and it streams in 4K easy.

Anyone getting the new AC?

I'm pondering if it's worth it, haven't played an AC game since AC2 >_>

The game and combat mechanics have been overhauled completely since Syndicate. Its got more RPG element to it now. It gets repetitive as much as any looter/shooter/stealth game would but still fun. Odyssey was by far my favorite.
 
Update on Media remotes (Seeing that official ones are limited in stock)

Rii mini works ok but doesn't have esc (back) mapped on the top so you have to flip to keyboard side to go back. Not reccomended Also Air mouse function kinda useless as it mostly ignore mouse movement.

Rii i8 On the other hand woks well also no flipping to use the keyboard on the Xbox Series. Buttons all work including play pause rw/ff in Kodi.

I am ordering a L cheapo to replace the Rii i8 in bedroom so will update if it works just as well or not.
