I got mine on Monday, upgraded from the 360.
It's a quantum leap.

The 360 odd gigs of SSD space got filled yesterday.
You may want to attach a USB 3 HDD for your 360 and One games.

Doom eternal is over 100 gigs, and most others are over 40 gigs.

I already have a 2Tb external which I have been using on the xbox, so I'll just throw him in the mix until I can get expansion card much later

Same here.

You can move games between the drives, but it looks like you have to use the internal SSD for Series S / X games.

The 360 games I've played off the external drive work just fine.

The official expansion drive is over 4K. A bit crazy.

Its a bit of a hard pill to swallow so I will leave it on the back burner for a while.
 
controllers can memorize sync! -> Hold "sync" to recall last mobile/PC device (flashing 2-3x) -> Double-tap "sync" to switch back to your #Xbox (flash once)

will test it a bit later...cool feature!

Whaaat need to try that though syncing isn't hard.

I've given up on those. They start losing their charge sooner, and then it's 500 bucks a pop to get another one...

Are you not maybe thinking of the old Xbox 360 ones?

Those were old tech NiMh, these new ones are Li-ion and don’t suffer the same problems.

So, ummm

Turn on the box ! then it wants to update Cyberfail 2077 ! I say no...

POOOFF gone ! have to download it all again

Dayeem you Xbox and your update methods - BRING ME the PS scalpers ! I'm switching sides bois !!!

EDIT: Which over paid tool at MS/Xbox thought it would be a FANTASTICAL idea to allow people to cancel the update only to completely remove and uninstall the game ! WTF !!

That’s definitely not the normal expected or designed behaviour.

Didn’t you maybe hit the uninstall button when you meant to say cancel? I do recall they are close together.
 
Just got reminded again today why I use to love PC games

Ya no.... think I'll move my gaming PC into the lounge again :D

Edit: Forgot to mention the really sad part... re above example, and that is that I own most of them on both Steam and Xbox :(

I am a changed man. After experiencing the Series S for a few days now, it has really sparked my "want" to game so much more. The reduction in loading times is so massive that I cannot fathom ever going back.
I was quite unsure about the Series S and its lesser performance as apposed to the big boy X, but damn has it surprised me over and over again. Series S + Gamepass is really a winning combo

I know what you mean,
Even after my comment re prices above... I still ended up buying Dirt 5 for Xbox.
 
Loading times even with older games is amazing. Only 2/3 games so far do not make a difference, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Far cry 4 and Spyro. They all load about the same.
 
Just bought myself an XBOX Series X over the weekend. Traditionally I've been a Playstation and PC gamer but that's not an option here yet. I skipped the last generation entirely to focus on PC, and the thing that swayed me this generation was that in order for my to get the 3060 GPU's I'd probably need a faster CPU to prevent a bottleneck, and that means a motherboard etc. It was going to be R20k+ to play unoptimised games like Cyberpunk and I just don't have the appetite for it. So pulled the trigger on the X, and with Gamepass, very happy I did. Finding lots of cool stuff to play - Currently busy with UFC3 and Cricket 2019 lol
