Xcloud only works if you have decent Internet, and if you don't it just becomes a stuttery mess as this week on holiday has proved. As others have said if and its a big if MS produced a handheld I would prefer it to be a hybrid device, but I couldn't see this being cheaper than a series x.
@FraserG, After talking to Microsoft Customer Support via web chat Microsoft Complete is not yet available in the UK for Xbox Series X/S. The service support agent also was not sure when this would become available in the UK.
I’m starting afresh (coming from PS4) so after watching the very informative Digital Foundry video I’ll be going down the external SSD route for backwards compatibility and leaving the Series X SSD for the Series X games
I haven’t spent any real time with an Xbox since the original. What I have been doing is picking up digital games cheap in the sales. So I imagine if mine comes on the 10th it will be the case of setting up the Series X and then waiting for games to download.
Ordered a Series X through the Microsoft Store, but it sure was touch and go! Selected the Series X but it didn’t appear in my basket! Order finally went through at 8.20am.

Re: Microsoft Explains Why The Xbox Series Expansion Card Is So Expensive
It reminds me of the Vita memory card pricing, but at least I can use an external HDD to store the rest of my games. For me price needs to come down.
