Assassins Creed Origins for sure! I am highly anticipating that game.

I've been a fan of the series from the start but I'm feeling it's been too much, I held off on buying Unity and Syndicate day one like I did with the others.   It would've been better to space out releases but Ubisoft had a hit on it's hands and put the peddle to the metal till sales took a bit of a hit with Unity.  

 

I really want a new Splinter Cell, need my stealth fix, even though they keep working on the stealth side of AC, it just never feels quite right to me.

Have you enabled the option in Settings? If nothing is downloading, then it's likely the updates aren't available from XBL yet.

Yeah.  From what I'm hearing, Gears 4 and Halo 5 have their updates live but I'm not sure anything else is yet.

I am excited for this Assassin's Creed mostly due to the setting that they opted for this time. It is intriguing. I can't argue with you though. A new Splinter Cell would be a good change of pace. Personally, I am a fan of vehicle simulator games. I wish they would release a new version of Silent Hunter with modern 4k graphics. That would be insane!

I'm all for Splinter Cell in general, I just don't see what they can do with it that hasn't been done.

But does it need to be something new? Better graphics, larger levels, improved gameplay and I'm in

 

Just last week I cancelled my Xbox One X pre-order. Hopefully someone else managed to get my Scorpio edition

Nooo it had so much to live for 

 

Damn man I've been playing stuff on my X1 and in general it looks fine but there's just so many obvious low quality bits.  It's not a good 1080p machine by any standards.

 

In some games it doesn't matter as much as others at least, but ugh.  I'll be glad to be done with it.

I just find that I'm finding less and less time to play. 

 

If I paid much more, it would have been fine, but given the lack of time and the amount of money it would be. I'd prefer to wait either until Scorpio 2 or when I have more time and it's cheaper...whichever comes first.

[spaceelf]

Fair enough.  I should have less time to play...but I don't.

[dipsylalapo Supervisor]

Hopefully this works via mobile but those who have the One X will have a slightly different boot animation 

 

 

[techbeck]

MS just charged my account.  So should be shipping soon!  Suck I will be out of town 1/2 the week next week.

[George P Global Moderator]

It's cool how they tweaked the boot animation a bit, at least you know for sure which Xbox it is when you cold boot it.

[spaceelf]

Lookin at the 7th...everyone else was freakin out about what amazon was telling them in the chat app or whatnot but I figured why bother I'll poke things if I actually need to

 

Currently enhanced games list, and it's supposed to go up to 70 during launch week.

It's on the way.

[WildWayz]

Nice. Kinda regretting cancelling my order... I think... Hmmm

[dipsylalapo Supervisor]

So who's managed to get the One X already?

 

I had an alert yesterday saying that the Scorpio Edition was back in stock on Amazon and almost caved and bought it  I'm still going to make the most out of my Day One Xbox One. I'll probably jump with whatever comes after the X. 

 

Looking forward to seeing your thoughts!

Good thing you didn't because that's a lie. I've just spoken to Amazon's customer services because they aren't going to deliver my order this week, apparently they haven't even received them from their supplier.

Oh really, that's pants  Hope they manage to sort it out soon 

[Vandalsquad]

Was meant to be delivered today, only just arrived in Sydney warehouse this arvo  Will arrive tomorrow morning and will post a bunch of comparison photos and start an official launched thread.

Unfortunately MS chose to use UPS as their designated logistics service, and UPS is pure crap around here so not expecting mine till tomorrow, will report back!

That's interesting. Down here in England they're by far the best and only reliable logistics service. I hope you get it soon!

Yeah it's unfortunate. I've been looking forward to this a lot and sold my Xbox One a few weeks ago.

Yeah, I never had an issue with them in London, but here they just tend to save up as many deliveries as they can for one big trip rather than deliver on demand. They've denied it in the past but it's more than a co-incidence that no matter what day I'm due a UPS delivery, I always get it on the Wednesday.

That does sound suspect indeed! I hope they make an exception for you today.

Of all the consoles, this is the only one I've preordered. Can't wait to get it today in UPS!

 

I have a ton of games on my XB1 which is the original 500GB version and I have 3TB external storage. Is my best strategy to delete the games I don't want to keep, transfer everything to the external, and plug that into my XB1X? Will it just start working or is the X going to want to format it as new storage?

 

Also, it's been ages since I've bought a physical copy of a game. If I don't feel like waiting for Forza 7 to download, can I buy a physical copy and play it without having to load the disc?

That's what I've done, apparently you then plug the external in to the new X and you'll be good to go.

Don't take my word as absolute truth, but I'm fairly certain you'll still have to download a huge (50GB or more) amount of data.
