villa4europe Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Sonys strength are the AAA titles MS is game pass Next gen doesn't look like changing that at the moment, MS have obviously made moves to increase their exclusives but theyre not on the horizon yet Theres no directional change with either console from the last couple of years, agree that its different from the xbone launch but game pass is now 3 years old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to queue up for one like some sad virgin if it's pre order's only. With covid restrictions and very low stock it would be impossible to say unless certain stores tweet out they have stock to buy in store. I'm glad i got my order in ages ago. I still have a second one on order, i offered it out to everyone i know, but they all turned it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I've seen the S on sale still and heard plenty of podcasts suggesting that they should really try and flood the market with those this xmas but the 4k upscaling has put me off the s I'm leaning towards trying at launch to see if I can pick up a cancellation or some extra stock, still a slim chance I think, in reality I think the PS5 restock will be around march and im already losing a bit of interest in the idea of picking up games on the ps4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted October 28, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted October 28, 2020 The Series S is extremely small. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had Mine delivered just, it is very small and extremely quiet. Its fast turning on, doing updates, loading games Transfering games to and from hard drives to the internal, moving around the menus. It also has the ability to have multiple games on at once without closing them down soon as you put another game on.

The question is do you have a 4k TV or better, if you dont just go for the Series S as I've done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'll have to wait it out until next year. I have a 4K TV so going to go with the Xbox Series X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I'm going to venture in to town later to see what the crack is, hoping that unfortunately for someone they couldn't fulfill their preorder Gamestop are also taking orders for wave 2 which they think will be 7th December The S to me seems less and less appealing every time I hear anything about it, its not big enough a jump from an xbone, especially now with what games are available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted November 10, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 10, 2020 Got the X today. Looking forward to trying out some 120FPS gaming. Though, just waiting for everything to download now. Shame it's not launching with Halo. The launch lineup is so weak but Microsoft will be Microsoft I guess. Hopefully things will look a bit better in the next year or two on that front (you'd hope so with all the acquisitions at least) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I’m in a difficult predicament, I’m not 100% if the OH is buying me one for Christmas. If I ask and she is she’ll be pissed off that I’ve ruined the surprise. I’ll have to wait and see, it doesn’t seem like I’m missing much this side of Christmas anyway.

PieFacE Posted November 14, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 14, 2020 Call of Duty Warzone and Cold War at 120FPS on the Series X is an absolute joy. Loving the Series X at the minute. Looking forward to when the first party games start rolling out to Game Pass. Microsoft are in a really good position this generation and it's a complete reversal of Xbox One launch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 (edited) Microsoft are having a shocker really if they can’t match the launch demand.

Activision aren't doing Smart Delivery (cos they are greedy ****) so you'll have to buy the cross gen version of CoD which is an extra £5 I think. Activision are the worst. If you have a 4k TV with VRR I'd probably get the X tbh. But it all comes down to your personal scenario.

dubbs Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Word of warning for COD cross gen. On the playstation version you have to buy the Cross gen version to get things like Ray tracing and other next gen improvements. If you just pay to upgrade via the store you don't get them for some reason. Might be different on XBOX though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not one to obsess over the visuals tbh so I think the S will be fine. For the extra fiver I might get the cross gen version now on my XBOne then and wait until the new year for the new console. Maybe the series X will come down a bit in price to sway me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
