Not really interested in current gamrpass offerings, I could see myself playing cross platform games on it as the most convincing argument to myself.

I only bought mine because I could not get a reasonably priced 3080. If you already have one, and a PS5 on top, you have no need for Xbox. Everything on it that is worth playing is also availabe on Win10.

Xbox Series X available at Amazon UK. Get it while it's there, folks.

Thank you blessed clown man, I have acquired the gaming fridge :dance:

I only have a 1660 Super and my series X is definitely worth it over taking out a Ray Stantz sized mortgage out for a 3080. Even stuff like Destiny 2 looks way better because it's scaled down from 4k. I'm not gonna get 4k/60+fps/ray tracing on my PC until all the cryptominers are launched into the sun.

Sell the 3080 for $2500 and keep the XSX. Quick Resume is that good.

Halo LANs are still a thing and still kick rear end. A month or two ago I went to a LAN party where we played with two Xbox One consoles and a laptop. So, there's some "couch co-op" for you. Btw, console has mouse and keyboard support. So, if you need an extra controller for another player you can always opt to purchase a cheap mouse+keyboard combo instead of spending $50 on a new controller from the store.

It's still listed as EA Play Pro so it probably just hasn't been switched over on EA's side yet.

If it gives you a splitscreen view anyway and you’re all in the same room, what’s the benefit of using multiple consoles and a LAN? Couldn’t you just use one console and multiple controllers/K+M? Or are you over complicating it for the fun of it?

I did exactly the same thing. You will both be able to play at the same time.

Fwiw the prices on these have started to fall a bit and could continue to fall.

I have a 3080 and an Xbox and I actually use the Xbox a lot more these days because the couch is comfortable.

It is indeed, and that's why I play most of my PC games these days using steam big picture on my TV from my couch.

And that is precisely why I need a 3080(Ti).

Own and bearen all the Yakuza games, Doom Eternal + DLC, Control + already own all the Gears and halo games from previous xboxes. There are a bunch missing but all the game pass games seem relatively older and are always on sale to purchase outright anyways, at least until things like Infinite and Starfield

One bullet. One gun. Six Chambers. These are my friends.
If anything Game Pass is annoying because the handful of games I bought for "when I'm caught up on Game Pass" have gone untouched for like six months.

I will say game pass initially was a terrible value for me because I am an idiot who buys games at release for full price anyway, but now that so many titles are hitting day 1 on game pass I might actually just stop buying poo poo, at least on Xbox.

Most games with physical copies don't really sell out on day 1 anyways, may as well wait for a few official reviews.

If someone is in the SF bay area i'd let someone pick it up at cost, haven't even picked it up from Target yet.

I do want to convince myself to keep it for myself, I just remember buying the Xbox One only to play Halo 5 and a couple of Gears games and it otherwise sat for long periods collecting dust while I playing PS4 all the time. It just seems like it would be the same deal if I kept the Series X.

I'll just say that there will be games that don't go pc from console and vice versa. Plus coop will be easier in console depending on the game. I'd keep it in your situation.

If you have more than 4 people, which we did. Then you need multiple consoles.

I'm getting sound issues playing Sonic Generations on my Series X, it crackles and skips every few seconds. Is this normal? I can't find anyone else complaining about this online. I haven't seen this with any other 360 games and it's a huge bummer.
