Xbox Series X - The next Xbox that's boxy but sexy xXx

1.4 is fine for current setup. You need 2.0 for 4k resolutions.

So I guess I need some kind of cable that will convert HDMI to HDMI and red and white cables. Is there something like that?

I use a splitter like the ones linked for the consoles in my bedroom so I can run headphone-plug audio to a bluetooth transmitter. Works fine, no noticeable lag for me.

This applies to PS4/PS5 too but here’s the “small print” for cross play, progression, upgrades etc. for going from old to new consoles for Ubisoft games.

I really disappointed to read I can’t start playing WD: Legions on PC and move to Xbox Series X later.

I tend to use electronics as long as they keep working

Heh, this is me, too. My receiver, I bought in 2001 when the OG Xbox came out, being the first console with 5:1 surround sound- it’s some surround sound package I got at Costco. I keep thinking I should upgrade it, but then think “eh, why bother? It still works fine”. I did finally replace my 1080p Westy TV a couple years ago, that I got with the 360. Similarly, there’s a little part of me that thinks I should go in for one of those 48" LG OLED TVs, but not at north of $1500, when my current 43" tv is only 3 years old, is 4k and HDR, and cost me $350. Meh.

I’d be open to some Gears co-op too. Though I’m on Pacific time, so it might be tricky.

I’m a night owl, so probably fine.

The guy who accidentally ordered 100K black refrigerator costumes really lucked out this year.

My credit card just got charged for my Xbox - we’re just a week out, woo hoo!

First round of entertainment apps.

Apple TV and Your Favorite Streaming Apps Available on Xbox Series X|S at...

As we all suspected, no OneGuide or LiveTV app of any kind.

OTOH, I haven’t heard any peep of PS5 having one either, so I guess I’ll keep my Series X pre-order going.

Really? Where do you have it with? MS? My piece via them said they’d charge when they shipped. I think they charge me via PayPal, though, so I may not see that email for a day- it seems to lag.

So excited.

[divedivedive]

Yes, I went with MS store.

[Don_Quixote]

Cool, me, too. I had it done by 8:02am when they turned it on. Should be good to go.

Still no update on my order with Amazon, and we’re a week out now. Getting nervous.

“We will email you when we have an estimated delivery date.”

Bestbuy sent me an email asking me to confirm my shipping details.

Go into your Amazon order and select “Change Payment Method”. You don’t need to make any changes, just click Continue with the current payment method selected. This will refresh their status page and you will see an actual ETA if there is one.

THAT WORKED!!!

Arriving Tue, Nov 10 by 8pm

Thank you!!!

[Rock8man]

My Walmart order still shows Nov 12th. I’m content with that.

[KevinC]

Welcome! :) Sorry if my post sounded a bit like “this one weird trick” crap, haha.

Your doctor will hate it!
