If I'm playing on a 1080p TV, am I even going to notice the resolution changing as long as it doesn't go below 1080p?

If you're playing on a 1080p TV, an S and X will likely look the same.

Downsampling is still the best looking form of antialiasing, stuff like power lines should look way better

I don't know about you guys but the moment a game drops from native 4K to ~1728p I experience a spontaneous blur-induced vomit reflex. I have ordered an extra sick bucket for next gen

Note that 360 and OG Xbox games won't get the One X benefits on Series S so there are disadvantages there.

Also, while the difference is mostly subtle, games do look better rendered at a higher resolution and downsampled to 1080p than if they're rendered at 1080p natively.

Here's an example.

Native



Downsampled



This is a somewhat extreme example from a PC game, how pronounced the difference will be depends on how high the rendering resolution is (e.g. a 1080p downsampled image that's natively 4K will look better to a certain degree than a 1080p downsampled image that's natively 1440p).

We already know that’s not true. For example, Devil May Cry 5 doesn’t have ray tracing on the Series S.

I'll agree on the accents, I've come across maybe one person with a standard london accent, everybody else is doing the young "gangsta blud" thing, posh, or from india.

Wow, I'm guessing you've never actually been to London? God knows what you think a "standard" London accent is.

Take it from someone who was born in, spent most of his life living in, and right now typing this in London: the accents are fine and reasonably representative. Sorry to inform you that there are a lot of people with "gangsta blud" accents living here.

I guess that is recent since I left London in 2007 and I can't remember people saying Blud being that popular back then.

You've guessed wrong, I've lived in London and frequently visited courtesy of having family there. by Standard I meant a variety of English accents from the regional points of London, instead of just Rich/thuglife/from abroad. I guess I wanted more variety, though I ran into a scottish woman and now 50% of clan Kelley gang members are yelling in Scottish so who knows whats going on with the algorithm

Mine says 'Arriving by Tuesday' on the order page but no email confirmation of shipping yet, probably won't be until Friday/Saturday at the earliest.

Congratulations on living in London and managing not to interact with any young black men, I guess? Jesus, London is one of the most multicultural cities on Earth it would be incredibly weird not to hear many accents “from abroad”.

Best Buy people:

I got emails recently saying I could book an appointment to pick up my console, so I set it nice and early just in case there’s a stock issue as I don’t leave work until late usually. All good.

Got a voicemail today (swear my phone didn’t ring, swines) from the local store asking me if I wanted to set up an appointment. So, same thing I’ve already done.

Anyone else get a similar thing of the local not realizing it’s in place already? I tried to call back to speak to the guy who left the message, but 45 minutes on hold to the same 4 Xmas songs and I burned out.

Pretty sure I can but I need to double check.

I can just unplug my external SSD from my current Xbox and plug it into the new one and everything will work correctly right?

I’d rather not have to redownload 500gigs worth of poo poo.
