Also it was a 2016 model not 2017, I hosed up, so at this point might as well get one of those purty new ones with weird Aussie voltage and sad face plugs. Only once I have settled though... gently caress moving Wait, are you moving to Australia? Cause all of their stuff is hosed and stupid expensive.

I always read about how awful it is to be a gamer in Australia. Horrible internet that is both overpriced and slow, and stupidly inflated prices for video games.

4K and HDR is really amazing, but in order to get this you need an absurdly expensive TV. My TV has HDR, and Xbox One doesn't even support it, I have the wrong kind of HDR. Unless you're willing to throw down $2500+ for a TV with Dolby Digital HDR, then don't bother.

univbee posted:What the gently caress? There are TV's without HDR10 support? As i've learned the hard way, yes. :/ But I couldn't afford a HDR10 TV anyways, so whatever. The jump from HDR8 to HDR10 and then Dolby Digital, is steep.

All of my movies are digital on Amazon, who doesn't even offer 4K on their digital service, just 1080p. I'm honestly fine with this, and Xbox One S scales all video to 4K anyways. Which I realize is not as nice looking but it still looks really good.

Beastie posted:I put the Blu-ray for SW: A New Hope in and I was loving floored with the picture quality. I've rented a few UHD movies off of Live and they looked pretty good. Watched Planet Earth 2 on Netflix, they have it in native 4K and that was pretty amazing looking. I can't imagine the blu-ray version.

Beastie posted:The hummingbirds in 4k Planet Earth are just unreal. Love it! It's mostly their original content that is in 4K, and documentaries, but I love Netflix original content. The wife and I recently binged the Crown, and Lost in Space. Both are goofy shows but they looked beautiful in 4K and were fun to watch.

Motherfucker, excuse me while I throw my Sony TV out the window. quote:Pairs 4K Ultra HD picture clarity with the contrast, color, and detail of Dolby Vision high dynamic range (HDR) for the most lifelike picture Welp, now I know better and have throughly owned myself, and there's really nothing I can do about it until the TV I have now dies. I could sell it but it's really not worth it to me to go through that effort right now. I said come in! fucked around with this message at 19:41 on Aug 9, 2018 |

derk posted:I'm sure your Sony TV is really nice, but these tvs get really good reviews, i was only referencing for the $2,500 price point as this for an alternative. I do appreciate the link a lot, and thank you! Everything I saw said these TVs were super expensive. So i'm kicking myself for being super wrong.

Be sure to claim For Honor today if you have Xbox Live Gold. This is a pretty good fighting game with a unique fighting style and mechanics. I have it on PC with the season pass, but it'll be awesome to play it on the TV now.

EA just recently launched Origin Access Premier on PC, which is $100 for a year but gives you instant access to their entire library of games, including future titles available right away on launch day. I hope that service comes to Xbox.

UnfortunateSexFart posted:Amazon.ca just killed the 10% preorder discount on games, already was reduced from 20%. I guess they finally figured out that Canadians are used to price gouging/corporate collusion. I thought they'd at least wait until Best Buy and EB Games went under. This change is worldwide. Now it's $10 off.

Xbox Ambassador posted:Define “great”. Because it’s not last of us and god of war lol. It’s not Spider-Man. Xbox has great games and the fact that all Microsoft stuff is day one on game pass is even better. There’s enough to last a life time and I’ll be happy to play the best version of RDr2 on Xbox one X. The Xbox shill gimmick you got going is really weird.

Laserface posted:Sea of thieves literally put me to sleep while I played with friends. Yeah, the people saying Sea of Thieves is a good game, are straight up trolling or shills or both. The Xbox One has a great controller, and like you I mostly play shooters and racing games on it. Currently playing Call of Duty Infinite Warfare because it was on sale for $20 the past week and I had never played it.

Things Xbox Ambassador will pretend to own: https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2018/08/29/xbox-elite-controller-white-xbox-one-x-fallout-76-bundle/ Microsoft announced a Fallout 76 bundle that is a pretty neat looking Xbox One X that is in white. I want to maybe replace my Battlefield 1 Xbox One S bundle with this in November if finances will allow for it.

American McGay posted:Why are people posting about PS+ exclusives in the Xbox thread, that's my only question. Doesn't make much sense to me. There's a Playstation thread on this forum somewhere, I'm sure of it. This thread is primarily for hating on the Xbox. That said, with the exception of like one poster in here who is pretending, everyone else actually owns an Xbox at least, and usually both consoles.

VideoGames posted:If people want to talk about, and like, the xbox, then I do not see the harm in doing that in this, the xbox thread. If people own an xbox and dislike it, they can do that too. It was a little bit confusing to me because he wasn't the one that posted about the PS+ deals and he actually owns an Xbox. I don't get why Xbox Ambassador is allowed to continue with his gimmick when he legitimately doesn't own an Xbox and is clearly gimmick posting. There's no way his fanboy level love of the Xbox brand is sincere and its been the contributing factor of the vast majority of slap fights in this thread lately.

univbee posted:One of the big issues with all the complementary offerings (and somewhat more pronounced with Gamepass and sort-of with PSNow since what you get with them is a bigger but not huge batch of titles) is that the better a customer you are for the provider, the worse a deal it is for you since you might already own most or all the games you would care about. I've noticed there are a couple publishers that you can count on almost always giving away their games at some point. UBISoft, Square-Enix, and Konami are the big ones that come to mind.

Wasn't Return to Arkham an awful game though? I only really liked Arkham Asylum, but I remember reading that the remaster was messed up and looked worst than the 360/PS3 versions.
