Xbox Series |OT|

During the current Xbox Series X Launch stream (https://t.co/B1pnelr6ID), Mighty No. 9's final level ran so bad that the framerate drops to 0, crashing the Variable Refresh Rate to 0, and breaking my capture card. Please enjoy this clip of that happening. https://t.co/yWYgnYgnca

edt: I tried again and now morrowind works.

real edit: yall posted before I could edit!

i'll remind you that during the xbox previews lots of reviewers showed crashes during quick resume.  i particularly remember alanah pearce showing some crashes...



...and this is why i avoid pre-ordering consoles.   xD

Yeah it seems like the disc drive is just really weird and loud sounding from previews. Perhaps there's something weird in the design which means its normally fine but can break easily.

It sounds like it has a vault door or something. Once the disc is in, something clamps shut.

Hopefully ps5 has no issues.

I wouldn't know, but I'd assume it'd be as smooth as PS4's.

i trust playstation more than xbox for hardware reliability.   MS has had too many issues thought the gens.

Are you able to levitate a ping pong ball above your series X?

Sadly that was fake. Not at all enough air flow.

(yes I tried!)

Really enjoying Forza Horizon 4. Still an older game, but at least makes the console feel like not PS4.

Played the first one back on 360 so this is simultaneously a nostalgia trip and a next gen trip.

Forza Horizon 4 is fantastic and I can imagine it's still one of the best looking games out there with the next gen enhancements.

Thank you for supporting the largest launch in Xbox history. In 24 hrs more new consoles sold, in more countries, than ever before. We’re working with retail to resupply as quickly as possible. You continue to show us the connective power of play is more important than ever.

We can't believe we have to say this, but please do not blow vape smoke into your Xbox Series X.

Isn't this the first Xbox launch that's been pretty much worldwide?

yes. more MS spin.  probably good numbers too but too much spin to really know.

I think the lack of context is fine. It's a near meaningless statement for so many reasons so it just boils down to them being happy about launch.

Hopefully we actually get numbers eventually. I'll be much more frustrated if they only talk about MAUs like xbox one.

we'll only get numbers if they think they are winning.

Which sucks and is bs.


On that note, when do y'all think either unit will start being in stock?
