PieFacE Posted November 30, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 30, 2020 One of the things that amazes me most about this console is how quiet it is. Have not heard a single noise from it. It's absolutely silent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NurembergVillan Posted December 1, 2020 Moderator Share Posted December 1, 2020 I got an alert that the X was in stock on Amazon Germany so managed to bag one before they sold out. Also got an alert a little while later that the X and S were in stock on Amazon UK but the X was gone within 15 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Been following it on twitter, there seems to be a lot of people from the UK shopping for them in Germany as well as obviously a lot of Germans Seems to be it'll be sporadic for the next few weeks so it's pure luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted December 1, 2020 Moderator Share Posted December 1, 2020 Absolutely. I had a look at their Twitter but it seemed inconsistent so went for the email route and it paid off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Did anyone buy one from Game in the last batch that they released? I've had order confirmation but nothing else since. Getting impatient now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ender4 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 a question from a PS4 owner... What made you pick a new X-box over a PS5? Are you happy with your purchase? Did you swap from PS4 to X-Box or stayed with X-box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you happy with your purchase? Did you swap from PS4 to X-Box or stayed with X-box? As an Xbox owner I'll respond to this. Reasons why I bought an XSX instead of PS5. 1. I've been playing primarily on Xbox since the initial Xbox which came with Halo CE which I adored. 2. Game Pass is the best deal in gaming by a country mile. 3. I like what Microsoft are doing in regards to all their recent acquisitions and I believe there's a lot more to come on that front. 4. I like what Microsoft are doing with Xcloud and the infrastructure they are building. 5. My friends are generally on Xbox too. 6. I've owned PlayStation's over the years but I'm not a huge fan of the single player story driven narrative games that everyone seems to love so much which is Sony's speciality, but it's just not for me. PlayStation's I own largely collect dust. I think in the whole of the PS4 era the only games I completed on PS4 were Uncharted and Horizon Zero Dawn. I bought others such as God of War but couldn't get into them. And yeah, I'm very happy with my purchase. Pair the XSX with an LG TV that supports 2.1 HDMI and it's quite excellent. That said, I'm sure the PS5 is awesome in an equal setup too. Edited February 1, 2021 by PieFacE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really game all that much tbh, very much the definition of a casual. I do play the odd game that pops up on GamePass such as Ori, Doom, A Way Out which are great on the new console. When it comes to first party games for both MS and Sony, the game that swings it for me is Halo even though it's not been in the best place recently. How about you?

Growing up I put so many hours into Fifa, Call of Duty and Gears of War (generic stuff like yourself). Used to get home from school and work and just play all evening with my mates. I had a 360 and loved it, then I converted back to PlayStation 4. Since then, losing contacts with friends as we went our separate ways etc, I’ve just fell out of love with gaming. I’ve tried getting into so many of these amazing titles over the years, even GTA 5, but I just can’t stay interested. Gears of War was the one for me though man, I absolutely loved that game. I kind of lost track after 2 though... not sure what number they’re on now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
