Apparently the Titanfall 2 X Enhanced patch is having issues so you might want to put a hold on that until it gets another patch if you planned to play it.

 

I hate embedded ###### in my forum posts so fix the link yourself. :p

I already finished it on PC so no loss.

Waiting on my X to be delivered. Had a bit of an issue with Amazon getting it to me today, for some reason it was going to come on Thursday even though I preordered it the minute it went up and it was supposed to be Release Day Delivery. So I reached out to Amazon, asked what was going on, and explained I did not think I should have to pay the $12 for One Day Delivery to get it today. The customer service rep Chris I talked to agree, and credited my account $12 so I could choose 1 Day Shipping.

So it is on it's way to my house. Already have everything prepped on my external, so it should be a pretty painless process setting it up as well.

 

Looking forward to finally play Forza 7. I only played an hour or so waiting to play it on the X instead.

Mine hasn't even shipped from Amazon yet.  I also spoke to a customer service rep and he too will make it a next day delivery; fingers crossed I get it tomorrow.  Either Amazon or Microsoft dropped the ball on this.

Oh! I must apologise to UPS, despite the tracking number saying tomorrow, it just turned up. I'm going to have to play with the console a bit later though as i have school run to do and ###### like that!

 

EDIT: Couldn't resist nipping in to the house to have a look, just took it out of the box and it's small, small and solid feeling, quite heavy. Unplugged my external from my old XB1 and plugged it in to the new one and within minutes it knew who i was, signed me in to Xbox, signed me in to my home network and started downloading an update.

I grabbed my Project Scorpio Edition from GameStop last night...  decided to give things a run... 

 

Setup: if you have a current Xbox One and saved a config file to an external HDD, it will grab the settings, and perform a 730MB or so update ...

 

Once you are past the update, you are free to tinker as you like.  I hooked up another external HDD for 4K capture to the external

 

The main Dash still appears to be 1080p or so.  This must be the compromise when Mike Ybarra and his team giving devs 9GB of RAM for games instead of 8GB. This is a smart move if you ask me.

 

Video capture on YouTube, or Twitcher, or Mixer even does NOT do the 1X any justice.  This consolse 

 

People say power doesnt matter... <----- THIS IS A LIE... GEARS 4 has a whole new level of detail...

 

The already Legendary Halo3  look even more LEGENDARY' ER... 


Halo 5 ... seems like a completely different game, based on visuals alone.

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?

You can grab the disc and install and play, But if you want 4K benefits the assets are another download since the game came before the X and an additional download. Would just grab physical to save at least half that massive download and actually have a physical item of worth to :)

 

Mines still set for delivery today, hasn't arrived yet :(

Everything looks great.  No, it’s not perfect on day one but...99% of it is!

 

The Crew still looks a little...off.  I doubt it’ll get an update but who knows?

Had some pop in on Wildlands but it still looks much better.

I’ve been loading up a little bit of everything and can’t see any reason to go back to my PC except for titles that don’t have an X1X patch yet.  

 

Rock on.

And since me and my mates will be using this as our online multiplat machine now I decided to treat myself and grab a new pair of A50's for it, been waiting to open. I've had the A50 Sony pair for my PS4 for awhile now and best headset ever used couldn't fault them.

Not had much time yet, so just been flicking through various games and the Insects tech demo, and it's all very pretty and powerful. It's pretty enough and smooth enough that it'll more than likely replace my need to go to PC for that extra oopmth.

 

Got Planet Earth II on UHD HDR, so going to start watching that tonight :D

I'm going through my usual buyer's remorse after a new purchase. Spent 3 hours downloading Forza 7 last night and while it did, I loaded up a few games I hadn't played in a while since my XB1 just gathered dust. Diablo 3 was on the enhanced list but looked exactly the same to me. Same for Rocket League.

 

The overall experience of the console is pretty positive as it is very fast and Atmos is stunning.

That was my first experience when I got my 4K setup. You'll love it. I loved the first Planet Earth and II was absolutely stunning in 4K.

You can do network transfer also if you have both hooked up to the same network, no need for an external :).

 

My Forza 7 assets are taking an age to grab at the moment, I transferred the demo and updated that. Looks like an entire new gen, never seen a racing game look this good and smooth. Will have to pick up Planet Earth II with these suggestions first UHD player also.

Funny thing is, they said Scorpio was limited and once pre-orders were sold it was gone... It's been in stock for the last 2 days at Amazon US.

? With only 5 left for $699 US price now. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Xbox+Scorpio

It's in stock at Microsoft too

https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/consoles?xr=shellnav Sold out

 

https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/store/b/xbox?icid=CNavDevicesXbox Sold out

 

Are we mistaking the normal Xbox One X for the Scorpio edition? :shifty:

    • TerraMaster F2-425 Pro review: a low-powered Intel NAS that ships with AI (OpenClaw)

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.

      I doubt that Google will keep the same price... it may go up from that list published.
    • Sennheiser's audiophile grade HD 600 hits lowest ever price on Amazon Prime Day 2026

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Sennheiser's audiophile grade HD 600 hits lowest ever price on Amazon Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen If you are in the market for high-quality audiophile-grade over-ear headphones then Sennheiser's HD 600 are a great choice for sure, especially today on Prime Day 2026 as the product has hit its lowest ever price (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Sennheiser HD 600 has long been regarded as a reference headphone for listeners seeking a detailed and natural listening experience. It is an open-back design that is built around the idea of acoustic transparency which is essentially said to allow sound waves to move freely for a more spacious and accurate presentation by reducing turbulence and the type of distortion that can result from it. At the heart of the product is Sennheiser’s proprietary driver system featuring a 42 mm driver paired with a lightweight diaphragm and aluminum voice coils. The company says this design helps deliver fast response times and better articulate sound across the audible frequency range. Comfort and durability are also key aspects of the HD 600 as the headphones feature soft velour ear pads designed for extended listening sessions. The HD 600 comes with a detachable 3-meter cable, a 6.3 mm stereo connector, and a 3.5 mm adapter for compatibility with a wide range of audio equipment. The technical specs of the Sennheiser HD 600 are given in the table below: Specification Value Transducer Principle Dynamic, Open-Back Ear Coupling Circumaural (Over-Ear) Frequency Response 12 Hz – 40,500 Hz Sound Pressure Level (SPL) 97 dB (1 V) Impedance 300 Ω Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) < 0.1% (1 kHz, 1 V) Cable Length 3 m (9.8 ft) Connector 3.5 mm Stereo Jack Plug Included Adapter 6.3 mm (1/4") Stereo Jack Adapter Weight 260 g Magnetic Field Strength 1.8 mT Driver Size 42 mm Dynamic Driver Diaphragm Size 38 mm Get it at the link below: Sennheiser HD 600: $237.00 (Sold by Electronics Expo, Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $449.95) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

      So the card is targeted at headphone users - so the review should be from someone that uses this - maybe I can review a card next time.
