Nice

I wanted to get this green one since seeing it being released around June this year, a few months ago.

I had a red Xbox One controller, so I passed by the red Series controller and went for the blue one when I got my Series X console.

Yeah I don't need more then 4 so getting one now would be a bit overkill :-)

I went with TAL merely for their fairly painless returns policy if things go pear shaped.

I follow Prima Interactive on Twitter. They're an Xbox distributor in SA, so as soon as the new Xbox controllers are released I get a notification :cool:

Off topic, has anyone come across carry/storage cases for Xbox Series controllers? I see there are a couple different ones for the Xbox One controllers on TAL, but none yet for the Xbox Series controllers.

They are basically the same size so they should be fine

Six month later, and I'm still loving this console. Gamepass is the #1 gamechanger for me.

Granted, I'm a bit of a bargain bin hunter that is prepared to wait for specials, never buying new games at R1000+ anyway, but I have not purchased a single game yet.

I've played:

Doom Eternal
Rage 2
Maneater
Outriders
Call of the Sea
Outerwilds
Darksiders: Gensis
Ori 1 & 2
Gears 4 & 5
The Medium
Control
Starwars: Jedi Fallen Order
Forza 4

and various indie titles with backwards compatibility (Caste Crashers! )

Sold my PS4 this weekend as it's just gathering dust now.

And what would be your top recommendations?

I've been spending an unhealthy amount of time on recently added FIFA21 as well as UFC3 (something like 800 fights done now...). Also doing Outriders from time-to-time when I have co-op available - probably once or twice a week. Spent a lot of time surviving in The Long Dark. Enjoyed Fortnite oddly enough (that's free, not part of GamePass). I recommend Lonely Mountains: Downhill for some seriously chilled out, fun, challenging indie biking, as well as "Yes, Your Grace" if you have the patience for a choose-your-own type of story game (also quite good for when you just want to kick back and take it easy). On my to-play-when-I-can list are Desperados 3, Mass Effect Andromeda, Star Was: Jedi Night, Night Call (leaving soon) and a bunch of others.

The drawback is there is a lot of crap on Game Pass too, as well as many games that I just didnt connect with and uninstalled after 15 minutes of playing, like Cricket....

I also haven't bought a single game yet, however, I am keen to get a game or two soon that can test the console. Im sure Valhalla will be on a decent sale soon and considering Hot Wheels when it releases.

There is a lot of crap, but there are a lot of gems too:

* Doom Eternal
* Jedi: Fallen Order
* The Medium
* Gears 5
* Ori 1 and 2
* GTA V (Story mode is boss. Wait for the "next gen" patch coming near the end of this year if you can - 30FPS isn't a great experience)

I've hit a bit of a slump myself, and the last few gamepass additions haven't been for me (lots of sports stuff). So at the moment I'm switching between these:

* No Mans Sky (proud to say I preordered this on Steam, so I am one of the OG beta testers)
* Maneater
* Aliens: Isolation
* Shadow Warrior 2
* Hellblade

I had a lot of fun playing Minecraft: Dungeons with some friends too.

Different tastes and all, but I have never been a fan of turn based games, so Desperados didn't work out for me. While I played the OG Mass Effect games, I just couldn't get through Andromeda. Even though they fixed a lot of the problems, I have now started that game twice now and I still can't get into it. I have officially given up.

Unfortunately for me, I really hit the gaming hard when I got my series X, so I played and finished all the good stuff quite quickly. Since then nothing has really gripped me that I've gone home to play every night. I suppose it's a good thing in a way.

Problem is Rockstar is still milking GTA V and want to charge full price for the next gen version of an 8 year old game. They can ****.

If you want to play it for free, the next gen version is likely not coming to GP anytime soon so we're stuck with the 30 FPS version...

Holy #@$%!!!

I'm clearing out my study, and found some original Xbox (pre-X360) games, that I wanted to throw out now, because they never worked on the X360. For laughs, I just inserted Jade Empire into the X Series and it's busy converting it!!! What the actual hell is with this backwards compatibility? Now I'm going to have to go through each one of them. Original KOTOR anyone? Burnout 3? Cassics!

Actually worked on the Xbox one :) but yeah the BC is great.
