I was just about to open up my new Xbox, but had to hesitate. I bought the Xbox Halo collection bundle, which includes MCC and Halo 5, but nowhere on the box does it say that the system has an UHD BluRay drive, which is the main reason I bought it. It just says 'play Blu Ray movies and stream 4k and HDR". Now that I look at it again, it doesn't actually say 'Xbox One S' anywhere either. Just 'Xbox One'. It sure looks like the 'S' consoles I've seen pictures of, but the lack of information on the box has me second guessing myself. So before I open it: this thing for sure has an UHD drive, right?

If you got this: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/consoles/xbox-one-s-halo-collection-bundle-500GB/home

Then yeah, you're good. It does UHD.

It does, but like it was said, needs a connector.

Using a credit card to buy stuff is a good idea, because you often get protection from the credit company and also should be getting cash-back.

Just pay the card off every month. The problem is when you charge thousands of dollars and then do the minimum payment so you'll be paying massive interest over 10 years.

Anyway, the All Access deal is a good deal.

Got one from Amazon before they were gone. I would rather pick it up in person from Best Buy, so maybe that'll happen. They're still at coming soon though. Wonder what happened with them.

Seems like each local Target got 4 Series X in stock. They're all sold out now within 5 minutes. If you live in the boonies there might still be hope for you.

I was entering my credit card information then it kicked me out and said none were available. That's a lovely way of holding an item.

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.

At least you're not in Amazon limbo. When will mine arrive? Who knows! Maybe by the end of the year!

What are the chances of me being able to buy a Series S at retail price between now and Christmas? Or is that anyone's guess at this point?

Probably a decent chance. Watch out for the Black Friday ads. The S seems to be easier to get than the X.

Why won’t they just add a captcha to their sites. It can’t be that hard to add one.

They had me do infinite captchas because I guess I dared to refresh at 3:00 until it came up.

Then I tried on the app and it kept giving me errors before saying it was sold out.

the only reason to play the game is for nostalgia where you have your buddies over to play split screen and eat pizza and drink mountain dew and smoke weed

Yeah I can't imagine playing it online is gonna match the experience of playing with friends in the same room all yelling about peeking at their screen which you fervently deny while continually doing it.

Is there a thread where I can get advice on how to stream on Twitch with an Xbox? I suck at using the search funtion.

It's pretty simple but been a while since I did it. But really all you do is open the twitch app and do a quick setup then start streaming.

Nah UHD discs have noticeably better picture and sound than any streaming service. I forget this every time since I don’t play discs much but it’s always a nice little surprise :D

UHD with a dolby vision TV is loving absurd for the picture quality.

Persona 5 is great but yeah it is very slow. I still say Persona 4 Golden is the best. It's still long but you get most of the crew together a lot faster.

They really are huge time sinks though.
