Fantastic, that did the trick.

I'm excited to finally be able to play KOTOR for the first time! I've heard good things.

I'd get rechargeables for sure. Ikea's Ladda gets my recommendation. It's the same product as the much more expensive Eneloop Pro, just with a different sticker. Comes from the same factory at the same specs and they've gotten virtually identical test results.

Obviously you also need a charger to go with those.

Another alternative of course is Microsoft's official Play & Charge set but I feel it's a bit overpriced in comparison and not much more convenient.

Thanks! I appreciate the recommendations.

So the Xbox won't recognize the external SSD (well internal, but it has an enclosure now), plugging it into the system shows it's being powered. The only thing was since this was originally a PS4 and still has that data, I assume it needs to be reformatted. I assumed that the Xbox would prompt me to do that, but it doesn't appear to recognize it. Do I have to reformat it on a PC, if so what settings are needed for the Xbox?

Did your order go through completely? I've been stuck at "Pending" since yesterday morning, and they charged my card...

Prior inquiries by others online suggest that "pending" means "getting ready to ship" but I'm super skeptical right now.

I think you just look it up in your microsoft account under purchases, granted I'm not sure how far back it goes.

I went to the Microsoft site to see if I could find my game library anywhere and noticed I've still got a Series X in my cart and the delivery date now says 11/16. Seems like good news for anyone that ordered them when it said 12/23

There doesn't really seem to be a good way to check what software licenses are tied to your account without logging into an Xbox though. Nothing in the account history on the website. On the Xbox though it shows you every single game you've ever bought and can download.

If you've got an OLED TV you really need to play Ori2. At supersampled 6K with eye-popping HDR and a smooth 60fps. My TV isn't cool enough but I bet 120hz looks even crazier.

Mine is still pending as well, and I have a charge on my card, but a goon was saying yesterday in this thread that this is a test charge and doesn't actually mean anything. It's just to make sure you actually have the funds and your card is legit. It'll be removed in a few days and then you continue to wait, I guess? If I am understanding correctly. I've never seen something like that before though, and with it being a federal holiday today, that makes updates even slower.

So I was able to reformat my Samsung SSD, but if I plug it in it only shows up as being for media, pictures captures, does anyone know what the proper format required for the Xbox Series X is (or Xbox one as apparently you can just plug one in with no changes) and what tool I can use to do it. I'm kind of at a loss here, despite making some progress.

"For those that ordered on 11/10 from Microsoft: UPDATE."

quote:

I spoke to a CS rep today as I needed to find some stuff out about my order and I was informed that essentially, yes, the 12/23 delivery date IS a placeholder. They set it like that due to COVID, holiday shipping and reduced shipping workforce at places like FEDEX, UPS, etc. The guy told me that orders should be updated as soon as tomorrow, and that it could ship very soon but that they did the 12/23 date as a precaution so no one is mad if it’s not right away.

I had to try different USB ports on my OG Xbone before it would let me format an ssd for games. After that it worked fine in any port. Maybe try reformatting to a different file system (try exfat/fat32 or ntfs if you haven’t already).

Transferred all my games from my xbone to series x and the fucker refused to play my xbox one x version of NMS. So it downloaded the entire app again all 13gb. I mean, it looks friggen amazing but I could have lived with the X1X version till it downloaded.

Blessed there isn't a RDR2 Series x version. Fuckkk downloading another 100gb.

Hey, if I could play in the basement on my 1080p tv or projector without dragging my SeXbox down, I'll accept it.

I just realized you can remote play on windows 10, so I'm set, I can probs throw together an extra comp that'll handle it.

Okay, the problem was it keeps detecting it as setup for media, so I'll give the other formats a try, thanks! This is the only way I'll be able to install COD without having a stroke. Although credit to Microsoft for making Game Pass so good, that I filled up a HD in less than 12 hours of owning the system. lol

EDIT: No luck with exFat, same thing, listing it as media storage.

Yeah I was asking about that earlier, and apparently, as of the moment it's not an option. I have to think it's high on the list of features for MS to add in.

Remote Play on Windows 10
Known Issue: Console streaming to a Windows 10 device from an Xbox Series X|S will not work through the Xbox Console Companion app.
Workaround: This feature is only supported through an Xbox One generation device. You can currently stream from an Xbox Series X|S console to an Android or iOS device via the Xbox app. Keep an eye on News.Xbox.com for any updates on further support for additional platforms like PC.

Have you tried this yet (from
https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/storage/manage-storage )

"If you cancel formatting when you connect a storage device, you can set it up later:
1. Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide, and then select Profile & system > Settings > System > Storage.
2. Select your device then select Format."
