Could be a digital version of the series X to complete with the PS5 digital. Or could be the planned name for the console refresh in a couple of years time. Xbox Series X Slim

@Blessed_Koz something sounds wrong there. 2 controllers under 1 year old are not out of warranty. As @swedetrap says you can just go onto the website to get them replaced. Same in the UK, I got mine replaced as up on the left stick stopped working. Its just a matter of logging into your account and raising a case against it.

@Anti-Matter Nice, the OG Xbox was great. Loved the green and crystal versions. If you can get an unmodded one that's been looked after you should def go for it. 360s are a bit more of a hazard when buying 2nd hand. Best getting from a store that offers a warranty. I went through 8 back in the day because of the RROD! Was there not a new dance dance game out recently or did I dream that? Hope my post didnt come across as bashing, was just suggesting sticking with those other generations.

@Anti-Matter you want kid games then go for Nintendo, that's always been the way. The Xbox has never really been geared towards that market. 360 they gave it a try but didn't really work. PS is good for the exclusives, even then I only played ghost of tsushima and fall guys on my PS4 pro this year. Why don't you just buy an Xbox or xbox 360? It's not like you can't buy them anymore. So not sure why you don't have them but have the physical games? Maybe that's the generation to stick with for ur children's and ur gaming needs. Never thought I'd read anyone pining after a kinect game. 2020 still has some surprises left it seems.

Anyway I think it's been a great year for Xbox overall. Yes there were things that could have been done better or differently. But this hasn't really been a normal year and I think the Microsoft team have done a great job overall. Think Gold really needs kick up the butt, though in saying that it did get me into the WRC games. So there were nuggets of gold (hee hee) in there. Think the series X is the strongest Xbox has ever gone into a new console generation. Mine died, but I'm putting that down to them trying to get them built so quickly. I am looking forward to being able to order another one when in stock. Gamepass is brilliant and continues to get better. The addition of EA play grew my already too big backlog even more! Happy new year everyone and roll on 2021!

It crashes on the one X as well. My series X broke before call of duty could break it. 😂

@djshep1973 Exact same with me! 😂 Was considering trying to get a refund. But then, by the time I get round to playing it, it'll probably be off GP. 😂

Ahhhhhh! I bought little nightmares a couple of weeks ago. It's not safe to buy games anymore. 😂

Oh, WRC 9 is 50% off. Will pick that up, since dirt 5 was so disappointing.

Who will be facing the bots this time?

The scalper bots win then.

As has been said, it's stupid to pay over RRP for anything. The only thing I miss about the series X is the faster load times. Though is that worth paying £450 for? Nevermind £700+!

Despite being burnt with the 1st series X, I've signed up for the draw. I never win anything anyway. 😂

@Jakovasaur Yea the DLC is probably worth it. By the time I get round to playing it, it'll have left gamepass. 😂

@ResoluteCustoms CEX are offering people more than RRP for their consoles. In the case of the series X if you give them a boxed version they give you £100 over the RRP. Not sure I agree with everything being over priced. I've found them quite reasonable for most things.

If the snipers don't stop you from getting one, the people packaging and delivering it will.

Just after I bought Control! 😭

Oh no, will need to play some more of untitled goose game!

@cbodz Cool, thanks! Will have to see if I can add another year with them. Will need to see how many years of gamepass you can build up. I'm currently sorted until July 2023. 😂

Got Control ultimate edition and now it's coming to gamepass. 😂

Also got Tony hawks, crash 4 and FIFA 21 (forgive me).

Got a year of gamepass.

@cbodz where did you get that gamepass deal? Or did you convert gold to gamepass for £1?

Setting a challenge: 2021 can't be as bad as 2020.

Craig for president 2024! Maybe he'll understand boarders more than Trump and Biden. 😂

@Bmartin001 100% mate!

Horizon is far better than motorsport. For me it's the best racing series ever. So many good memories.

So many good games. I went for GTA 3, though Vice City and SA were a lot better. But for me going from the PS1 to the PS2 and seeing GTA 3 for the 1st time it was like wow. Also think GTA 5 was better than GTA 4. I went to the midnight release of GTA 4 and stayed up to play it and was disappointed with it. GTA 5 online doesn't count.

Battled the bots originally. Not doing it again. Waiting until near the end of next year to make sure all the bugs have been sorted out.

Mine had WiFi issues, was 1/5 the connection speed of the one X. When in a race in dirt 5 it would stutter and the rumble wouldn't work. The rumble not working is a known issue that codemasters are working on. Tetris effect wouldn't start, had to uninstall and reinstall to get it to run. Though that's a game to show off your email C9 or CX in a dark room! Looks soo good! Modern warfare was unplayable, then uninstalled and reinstalled it. Was a good bit better but still stuttered quite a bit. Then 5 days later the series X died. I got a refund from Microsoft as they didn't have any that they could send out to replace it. 🙁

Went through something like 8 360s! Was cursed by RROD! Still loved the console though.

@BraniclesUK Do they need to though? At the end of the day it's you that's going in to buy tech from them. They're not like PC world, they're not there to push you into buying anything. They don't approach you to ask to help you or what are you looking for? Everything I've bought from them I've walked in, pointed to it, paid and left.

The elite series 2 is the best controller I've ever used.

@Nightcrawler71 My series X died on me. WiFi connection was awful and when racing in dirt 5 it would stutter like mad. Originally modern warfare was unplayable. Tried on playing from the external and then moved to the internal. Then uninstalled and reinstalled. Was slightly better but still quite a bit of stuttering. Also had an issue with tetris, after I had downloaded in to the internal drive it wouldn't start. Uninstalled and reinstalled and it started working. Then on Monday morning went to turn it on and was getting nothing to the TV. So it's away back to Microsoft and I've requested a refund. Will stick with the one X and try another series X some time next year. Had ordered this as it is a must have if you're not wanting to keep uninstalling and reinstalling games. Might be on offer black friday 2021. There should also be others released by then. As Samsung only has a set time of exclusivity.

Mine arrived today and is going back tomorrow. 😭

Need to remove mine from the numbers. 😭

@FraserG @WesEds 😂😂 Can see all the ones that have faked it asking themselves: "But that's the fix for everything tech. How could they not ask me to try that."

He couldn't get a pre-order either then.

Ordered the 1TB expansion card from game today. Currently using a WD 10TB external drive and have a Seagate 8TB external drive sitting to add if needed.

I'm actually gutted! I wanted to get a green one floating

@FraserG That's some list! I think you should review them all running on the series X hardware. 😂 😂

Microsoft have let me down, it's not getting delivered until tomorrow. 🙁

So glad I cancelled my pre-order during the beta.

The stuff of nightmares.

Microsoft have not sent mine yet. I want it!

I ordered mine from the Microsoft store so I've my Fingers crossed!

@AJDarkstar Yea, sucks to not have an Xbox for a few days. Hopefully we'll be lucky and get it delivered early. See someone in Portugal has gotten one already!

@AJDarkstar The money has been taken and the site has been updated with estimated delivery date of 10th! Would be great to get it early as I'm getting rid of the one X on Saturday. 😂

@dmacc20 Might send them a message and tell them to get shipping. 😂

@AJDarkstar I'm in the UK as well, but my payment hasn't been taken. Will just need to keep checking.

I'm getting worried. I ordered mine from the Microsoft store and its still sitting at pending.

Aliens and then dead space for me. I hate playing scary games. 😂 Haven't got round to playing little nightmares yet. I will eventually talk myself into playing it.

Pure scum, they're a bunch of whiney wimps. For badness they should delay the game to next year.

Looks soo good, can't wait for the 10th!

It's for all his just eat leftovers.

Glad I cancelled my pre-order

Played a good bit of it on the PC and it was buggy and full of cheats. Tried it on the one X, got into one match and it was completely unplayable. Maybe they've improved it since last year. 😂
