nah I first thought it would open like the PSVR box and ended up laying it on the wrong side when I couldn't get a hold after removing the stickers :downs: it's all good tho, the foam thing worked

Some TVs let you do 1440p 120hz if it can’t do 4k120. It’s a good visual compromise

I think that’s option my LG offers, not sure why I thought it was 1080p. So all things considered I guess I wound up lucky.

I'm afraid I'm one of the unlucky ones today. FedEx tracking is still showing it's in Memphis (showing that since Friday) yet delivering today by 8pm CST. No clue if/when it will show up, but it looks like I'll be waiting at least another day. Bummed level: 100.

So happy my setup allowed my One X and Series X to be connected via ethernet cable. I transferred all my games at 570Mbps. :cheeky:

Lol just checked my download queue. It's almost 11am down under, started downloading at 6pm yesterday and still have like 30 things to go. Definitely don't have to worry about it filling up before the SSD expansion comes today.

Can I just plug it in as it's chugging along?

That's what I'm doing, did you directly hook them together? I'm going thru a switch. Maybe I'm loving up here.

Edit: looks like the switch I was using was the problem, switched to a different one and now I'm getting 680Mb. MUCH BETTER!

PS5 is targeting checkerboard 4K at 60fps, which is what the game already targets on the PS4 Pro, so it sounds like they haven't upgraded the renderer for PS5 at all yet

It’s intense in VR. I do recommend at least a good pair of headphones when you play. The soundtrack really is that good.

My series S is up, but I can’t keep a connection to XBL long enough to log in. Servers are either getting pulverized by new logins or my internet is being poo poo thanks to thunderstorms.

This is going to sound crazy, but if you’re using a wired connection, make sure you’re not using an old Ethernet cable. I had my xbox360 connected to my switch with the original cable it came with (probably 12 years old at this point) and just plugged my Series X into it this afternoon. I was getting 90-100Mbps transfer rates going from my One X to the Series X, with them both plugged into the same switch.

I made a new cable and swapped it out, I’m currently transferring at 500Mbps now.

I know it's not unique to the Series but the settings menu where it shows you a list of all the features that are and aren't supported by your currently connected display is really slick. Definitely helps with troubleshooting and making sure you're getting the best picture you can at all times.

Definitely. It told me my tv was incompatible with hdr, and sure enough, that port was set to legacy mode for some reason

Is there anything to try 120hz on besides rs siege?

There's a few : https://www.pocket-lint.com/games/news/xbox/154481-xbox-series-x-120fps-fps-games-list

The one's I'd want are Gears of war 5 multiplayer and Halo MCC campaign and multiplayer (in 6 days time). My TV doesn't do 120 tho :|

I've been playing MCC and GTA 5 quite a bit today, and they both feel so much smoother than they did on my old xbox one. Moving from stabbing in Sekiro to driving in GTA in 9 seconds feels like it should have always been this way
