Pre-Order in for Project Scorpio edition. Best looking console ever seen, and that original box artwork :D

 

My Forza Edition will be taken care of back into the original box for placement in the future games room, will miss the start up sounds. Gave my day one edition to my sister might replace it with an XS to get that original box and console back as well for future showings.

It bothers me a lil bit having a nice 4K HDR TV and having to muddle along until the new console shows up since I never got an X1S :D

I've known this feeling for way to long now. I think the most suffering part will be refusing to pick up Forza 7 until I get my Scorpio :(

 

 

There's still some available on other UK sites (Currys, Very and Game) but Amazon so seem to be out. 

 

Despite saying that I wasn't going to, I have one pre-ordered from Amazon. I may hang on to it for a while and decide later.

Seriously keep it.  It'll be a huge difference, at least in newer titles.

 

I'm oversupplied on gaming kit but I feel like I could give away most of mine in November if it wasn't for the back catalogs.

but without a 4K or HDR TV it's kinda pointless. 

 

My plan was to make a purchase of a TV and Xbox next year when the prices have dropped a little, but I'm a sucker for limited edition lol

The X1 was poor at 1080p in a lot of games.  I don't know what all you play that will get an update but I suspect you'll like it a lot more than you think.

I probably have around half a dozen games in that list of games that will be enhanced, but definitely interested in games that are coming soon. We'll see. I have some time to make a decision. 

Managed to get the Project Scorpio Edition ordered last night off Amazon... but not sure if I'll go through with it or not come November.

 

Should I upgrade my home PC?

Was going to upgrade to a Ryzen 1700, mobo and 16GB 3000Mhz ram.... but not sure now....

If you haven't yet...I'd say no?  It depends how much you play on PC though.  I'm happy with my 1700 but I really won't need it much anymore in a few months.

Don't think you'll honestly notice much difference if any in gaming with the 1070 you already have doing the brunt of the work. CPU for frame rates but if they aren't an issue yet..? Unless just looking to upgrade to keep up with times before it comes to outdated :)

 

Would say hold for now. But many other factors, have a 4K tv? Enjoy gaming on the lounge? etc..

I think you are right... I don't game much on the PC at the moment (unless I can use my Xbox One S controller) - simply because it is hooked up to my Samsung 4K TV - so I have to use a wireless mouse and keyboard whilst sat on a sofa... 

Looking at the spec of the Xbox One X and my current setup, there isn't much in it.

Keep it for now, see if you enjoy it otherwise resell it. Have nearly the entire collection of 360 games and xbox games plus multiplats at 4K to get out of it. Best time to be buying one with the amount of content out there now.

 

Quantum Break is now getting an upgrade :)

 

Tomb Raider also now gets native 4K... dam son.

Looks great :D Now sure how much RotTR I can take :D Had it on the Xbox One and PC - :p Sold my Xbox One ages ago as it had terrible screen tear on games which ruined my experience. By the looks of it, this one should be fine :D
Oh and the Xbox One was a good reason I went to 4K... my old TV (Sony Bravia KDL46) used to have terrible overscan, which the Xbox couldn't compensate for (unlike the PS4)... so unless a game had the option to correct it, it would cut off a lot of the display area. So I bought a 4K tv lol

It depends how many gens back you are and what you play...the CPU matters more than people think for some games, like you can see here http://techreport.com/review/31410/a-bridge-too-far-migrating-from-sandy-to-kaby-lake/2

 

Newer titles are plenty CPU heavy as well, so it could definitely help em out.  4Ks limiting factor on PC is the GPU, leaving the CPU with less work to do most of the time.

Yes the new games coming out might be more CPU heavy the open world ones but most PC gamers tend to stick to older titles and what they love anyway I've found. No point upgrading unless you need to at the present with how fast CPUs do improve.

 

Is now sold out at JB online, Australias biggest retailer. These are either extremely limited or demand is much higher than Microsoft thought it would be, Elite controller all over again.

It is the day one release, it was a given they'd sell out.  Probably at least half of em are going to people who just want to resell em at a profit heh,

People need to stop buying them off of ebay from these guys for silly $200+ markup, just wait, MS will build and sell more.  Sure we're talking about the limited edition here, so not many made probably, but don't bid, and watch the price drop to MSRP over time when they can't sell them.

Hey it's a solid business plan, even if it is crap.  I could use the money, but I'd rather just keep the machine.

Does this happen anywhere but the U.S? Not a single one for sale in Australia on ebay and the massive forum talk is only of new buyers getting in and others complaining they haven't been able to pre-order one yet. Australia is xbox territory but feel they have a bigger hit on their hands then they thought. Bunch of people jumping in for the first time this gen.

Who knows.  The only way to get a Switch anywhere near a reasonable price here is still to patrol the retailers every so often.  I don't live in town so I haven't tried it.

Shelves are stacked here if you want me to send you one  :rofl: Didn't even sell out on release day, amazing the difference between 2 major western markets very alike. But is $100 more expensive than a One S with 4 games in Australia.

I see not much has changed around these parts. :laugh:

 

I preordered one already because I fortunately can and not because I had to have it.

 

I do have a 4K TV and all of that, so I will see the benefits of the stronger hardware, but honestly if I was not in a stable position with my finances, it really is one of those things that very much seems like a nice to have and not a need to have.

 

I also have been gaming for a very, very long time and have some perspective on things. For many years of my life I was gaming and never even heard the terms frame rate or resolution. I just played games and enjoyed them. Also being a PC gamer for so many years I think helped put things in perspective as well. Many times I chose to sacrifice quality to get a stable/higher frame rate.

 

I also happen to feel that if Player A is playing a game at 1080p and Player B is playing a game at 2160p, they are at the end of the day playing the same exact game. Player B just got to see it look better.

 

But since gaming is my preferred way to spend the little downtime I have these days, and as I said I can fortunately afford it, I did preorder it. Honestly my one and only beef with it is the additional Project Scorpio branding on the console really, really bothers me. I do not like additional branding on my electronics. Keep your lit up logo, make it tasteful, and that should be it. That is a personal preference for sure, but I am hoping to switch my preorder to a non "Project Scorpio" branded version.

    • Subtitle Edit 5.0.0 by Razvan Serea Subtitle Edit is a powerful, free, and user-friendly subtitle editing tool designed for creating, editing, and converting subtitles for videos. It supports a wide range of subtitle formats, including SRT, ****, and SUB, allowing users to easily modify and adjust subtitles for accurate timing and formatting. With its intuitive interface, Subtitle Edit provides a variety of features such as waveform audio display, spell-check, subtitle synchronization, and real-time video preview, making it an ideal choice for both beginners and professionals. The software also includes powerful tools for batch processing, translating subtitles, and converting between different subtitle formats. Subtitle Edit features: Create/adjust/sync/translate subtitle lines Convert between SubRib, MicroDVD, Advanced Sub Station Alpha, Sub Station Alpha, D-Cinema, SAMI, youtube sbv, and many more (300+ different formats!) Cool audio visualizer control - can display wave form and/or spectrogram Video player uses mpv, DirectShow, or VLC media player Visually sync/adjust a subtitle (start/end position and speed) Audio to text (speech recognition) via Whisper or Vosk/Kaldi Auto Translation via Google translate Rip subtitles from a (decrypted) dvd Import and OCR VobSub sub/idx binary subtitles Import and OCR Blu-ray .sup files - bd sup reading is based on Java code from BDSup2Sub Can open subtitles embedded inside Matroska files Can open subtitles (text, closed captions, VobSub) embedded inside mp4/mv4 files Can open/OCR XSub subtitles embedded inside divx/avi files Can open/OCR DVB and teletext subtitles embedded inside .ts/.m2ts (Transport Stream) files Can open/OCR Blu-ray subtitles embedded inside .m2ts (Transport Stream) files Merge/split subtitles Adjust display time Fix common errors wizard....and more. Subtitle Edit 5.0.0 changelog: Subtitle Edit 5 is a major new release and a big step for the project. For the first time, Subtitle Edit runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux from a single, modern, cross-platform codebase. The builds are self-contained, so no separate .NET installation is required, and on macOS and Linux the needed media components (mpv/ffmpeg) are bundled in. Please read before upgrading: Subtitle Edit 5 is a new application, not just an update of Subtitle Edit 4. It has been rebuilt from the ground up to be cross-platform, so: It is not 100% the same app. The look, layout, and some workflows have changed. Some things are in different places, and a few behave differently than in SE4. Not every SE4 feature exists in SE5 yet. SE5 covers all the core editing, conversion, sync, video playback, OCR, and online services, but some of the more specialized SE4 tools are not available yet. Features will continue to be added. If you rely on a specific SE4 feature that is missing, please keep SE4 installed alongside SE5. The easiest way to run both side by side is to use the Portable versions of SE4 and SE5, which keep their settings separate and do not interfere with each other. Which version should I use? Subtitle Edit 5: recommended for most users on Windows 10 (22H2) or newer, macOS 12+, and Linux. Subtitle Edit 4: please continue to use SE4 if you are on an older Windows version (Windows 7/8), or on older / slower computers where SE5 may not run well. SE4 remains available and is the right choice in those cases. To run SE4 and SE5 at the same time, use the Portable versions - you can try SE5 while keeping SE4 as a fallback.

    • Google Pixel 11 series: Here's what to expect by Hamid Ganji Google Pixel 10 series In recent years, Google has successfully turned its Pixel devices into worthy contenders in the smartphone market. The search giant is now preparing to launch the Pixel 11 series in just a few months, and many Pixel fans are likely wondering what Google has in store for them this year. The next lineup of Google smartphones includes four devices: the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. This year, we don’t expect Google to bring revolutionary upgrades to its handsets, and the Pixel 11 series is likely to receive modest hardware improvements alongside a slew of AI-powered features. Here are the rumored specifications of the Google Pixel 11 series ahead of its official debut: When will the new Pixel phones be unveiled? The last two generations of Google Pixel phones (Pixel 9 series and Pixel 10 series) were launched in August, unlike the previous three generations that debuted in October. With that in mind, we expect Google to unveil the Pixel 11 series sometime in August 2026. The exact launch date has yet to be confirmed. Google Pixel 11 CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines How much will the Pixel 11 series cost? Predicting the final price of upcoming smartphones has become increasingly difficult. As you may know, RAM and memory prices are rising sharply, leading to significant increases in the cost of consumer electronics. Recently, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that price increases for some future Apple products are unavoidable, suggesting that the iPhone 18 series could become more expensive. Google has remained tight-lipped about any potential price increases for the Pixel 11 series. If the company manages to maintain last year’s pricing structure, here’s what the lineup could cost: Pixel 11: $799 Pixel 11 Pro: $999 Pixel 11 Pro XL: $1,199 Pixel 11 Pro Fold: $1,799 Given current market conditions, it may be difficult for Google to avoid raising prices unless it adopts cost-saving measures, such as equipping the base model with 8GB of RAM. Google Pixel 11 series anticipated specs: We expect the Google Pixel 11 series to debut with a new Tensor G6 processor as well as an upgraded camera system. The overall design, however, is expected to remain largely unchanged across the lineup. Specifications Pixel 11 Pixel 11 Pro Pixel 11 Pro XL Pixel 11 Pro Fold Display 6.3-inch LTPO AMOLED / 120Hz refresh rate / up to 3100 nits of brightness 6.3-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 6.8-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 8-inch inner screen and 6.4-inch outer display, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness RAM & Processor Tensor G6 / 8-12GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 16GB of RAM Storage options 128GB or 256GB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB Camera 50MP main sensor, 13MP ultra-wide, 10.8MP 5x telephoto, 10.5MP front camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 10.5MP ultra-wide camera, 10.8MP telephoto camera, 10MP front camera, 10MP inner camera Battery 4,840 mAh 4,707 mAh 5,000 mAh 4,658 mAh Software Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 The Pixel 11 series won’t be a major departure from its predecessor, with Google instead focusing on subtle improvements and AI additions such as Gemini Intelligence. However, a patent filed by Google suggests the company is working on a removable battery for its smartphones, and we could see this feature make its way to the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Given that nearly all smartphones today lack removable batteries, such a feature would be a welcome addition to future Pixel devices. That said, it may not arrive with this year’s lineup after all, and the final decision is yet to be made by Google. The Pixel 11 series could also face an uphill battle in the market. In the Android segment, Samsung is performing well with the Galaxy S26 series, while the Galaxy Z Fold 8 lineup is also expected to launch next month. On the other hand, Apple is preparing to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in September alongside its first foldable iPhone.
    • At least AMD is still taking Windows 10 seriously (after the oops) before it consumer extended support ends. @WaltC - Memories, 2x Voodoo in SLI with a Riva TNT with an Aureal A3D soundcard.
    • So size is the ONLY selling point????? People have been plugging in PC's to TV's in living rooms for 20+ years. I would take a bigger box for more peformance. Also lot and lots of SFF/Mini ITX build guides out there.
