Xbox Series X / S

Coming from a OneX I noticed it was faster but I wasn't exactly wowed due to it being essentially the identical interface to the previous gen. It was a rather underwhelming first experience honestly but doesn't make it a bad console, just didn't feel "new" like the PS5.

At first I wasn't all that wowed as it looked like the One S and I got it when downloading was coming in at a third of my line speed.
But after loading a game it was a different story.

Suspect GamePass is eating all the budget so they tossing scraps into Live Gold box

Example: SW Squadrons that is on PS+ for next month was on GamePass for a while now. Same goes for Stranded Deep and Battlefield V that is on Plus for this month..... "We been having it" :)

can anyone with a series x confirm if this is normal, when I boot the console up - no disc inside, I hear a weird thud or clunk sound.

this is the disc drive and is normal apparently, but I wanted to ask and see if anyone else has this sound?

Got my console in December and I can't say I've ever heard the disc drive at all (never used it). Your problem sounds very odd

I've only heard the disc drive when it spins up. But the annoying thing is when you eject it, it sucks it back quickly

Haven't heard anything on my XBox.
 
Hi guys, weird issue and not sure hiw to fix it. Was watching a 4k movie (external drive) and after "rewinding" the movie the image started displaying in blocks and weird colours. Even now on netflix, the 4k content comes up in these weird blocks and colours. I have restarted the console, adjusted settings but not getting it to work. Any idea?

Not the same problem but my TV went blank on 4K playback.
I had to set my TV to PC/Game mode in order to fix it, maybe try that.
 
I have not heard any noises from my Series X, the box is dead quiet.

I should also finish up Destroy all Humans tonight, that was a fun game.

Resolved my issue, after watching an LTT video about the diff between windows shutdown and restart, i restarted my xbox and it worked

Aaah the old "suspend/hibernate" vs proper power cycle problem.

I had a USB drive that used external power and gave me crap when the system suspended but worked fine after proper restart.

Since fixed as I swapped it to a USB that powers via USB cable.
