I cancelled my call of duty black ops cold War pre-order after playing the beta and getting shot by cheaters. So think I'll pick this up instead. Even though I still have the last 2 games to finish. 😂
I love my series 2 controller! When I got it I also bought the Microsoft 3 year extended warranty for £15. Was def worth it and a bit of steal.
I had to send it off to get replaced / fixed as up on the left thumbstick stopped working. They said it could take up to 3 weeks to get it back but was back in under 2 weeks. Very happy with the service.
I'm sorry but I hated having to use the normal controller for that week or so. 😂
Looking forward to the series 3 and would be amazing if they added it to the new design lab.

Oh dam, when you think about how much you spend on gaming. Ah well, roll on the series X! 😂
Unless you're really desperate, why would you not just wait until it starts up again with the new controller? Would be awesome if they offered it for the Elite 2 or the 3 when it comes out.
@Valhalla91 😂 I had a look and they have a "pro" version of the subscription for £15 a month that does get you their latest games. That's def nowhere near as good an offering as gamepass.
@Tasuki The series X version should be unreal. Really looking forward to November. Really hope they're working on Horizon 5 as well as Fable. This series is too good to drop.
I love 3 and 4 and they're def the better games. But horizon 2 has a special place in my heart. They're probably the best racing games I've ever played. Enjoy the Dirt series as well, but that can't touch Horizon.
I need one, I don't want to have to do a lot of moving back and forth between my external HDD and the internal memory. Too many games and not enough storage! 😂 I get PS2 memory card vibes when I look at it. I demand different colour options! 😎
@Iceman5x5 Yea I'd wait to see what drives are officially supported on the PS5. Like they have kept on about how fast their storage is. So you would think only top of the range ones will be supported. Also doubt they'll be hot swappable. Like a lot of things Sony have not been very honest or upfront about this new generation. Will be a few years before I get rid of the PS4 Pro because of it.
@Pi3rc3y @BlueOcean I saw something that said the series X will only use 40G. The 48G can be used with PCs though. Hopefully we don't have any issues like the new Nivida 30** cards. Dolby vision and atmos support with the Series X is like the icing on the cake. 😁
@BlueOcean @Pi3rc3y The B/C9s are hard to get now. I had been going back and forth between the C9 and the CX. Currys made my decision for me as they removed the C9 from their website. 😂 Would recommend them to anyone. Especially if you play in a dark or darker room, then they're just magical with the perfect blacks.
@Dezzy70 same here 😂 If I miss out on getting a pre-order then I'll (try to) wait for a limited edition. No way would I support these people, proper scum. They're like the ***** that would do YouTube videos waiting in line and then smashing the product in front of the queue of people.
Blue controller looks good. I'll be sticking with the Elite 2 controller. Ms really have done a great job and making everything back compatible is another sign that they're customer focused.
@abe_hikura Oh it totally was, can see this making a lot more people want to get it. Just means we're going to really be ready to pre-order at 8am. Going to have a few sites open in order of preference.
If I was MS I'd be cancelling those exclusive deals for Sony.
The falconeer looks interesting but has future gamepass game all over it.
The other games will just be gamepass games and the free upgrades to what I already have.
Everything coming out about the PS5 has really put me off getting one. The new Spiderman was the only real game from their launch line up I wanted. Will probably leave it until the end of next year before picking one up.
Def getting the series X, but still on the fence about switching the PS4 Pro for the PS5. I was way more hyped for the PS4 release than I am for the PS5. Only about 4 or 5 games shown so far interest me and most of them are not launch titles. So might hold out for a GOW limited edition version next year.
Will def be getting Dirt 5 and I've been holding off playing Gears 5 since they said it was going to be improved. Will also play some horizon 4 to see the difference.

@Valhalla91 Did you think EA would give u access to all their new games for £5 a month?
Re: Guide: This Is What You'll Get With EA Play On Xbox Game Pass
@Mckilmer it is, but wait till you see. They'll get everyone on it and then the price will triple. 😂
Re: Guide: This Is What You'll Get With EA Play On Xbox Game Pass
@Mckilmer sssssshhhhhhh! Don't say things like that. 😂
Re: Guide: This Is What You'll Get With EA Play On Xbox Game Pass
Cool, I think I'll hold off on buying FIFA 21 and just wait for it to be added to this.

Re: Xbox Teases 'Crazy' Addition Coming To Xbox Game Pass Soon
Cyberpunk and that would be another mic drop moment.
Re: Guide: Is Your TV Ready For Next-Gen Gaming With Xbox Series X?
@NEStalgia Yea unfortunately it's probably gonna be a while for them to come out. 🙁
Re: Guide: Is Your TV Ready For Next-Gen Gaming With Xbox Series X?
@NEStalgia @BlueOcean It was announced a while ago that the Xbox series X would support Freesync. Same as the Xbox one X.
Re: Guide: Is Your TV Ready For Next-Gen Gaming With Xbox Series X?
@themightyant Ah got ya. I believe the Samsung Q80T, Q90T and Q95T all use hdmi 2.0b for their gaming port.

@FraserG Need to treat yourself to one. Early Christmas present.

Got a LG CX about a month ago in preparation for the series X. Blown away by it, its stunning even for the one X and PS4 pro.
Re: Guide: Xbox Series X & S Pre-Orders: Where To Buy The New Consoles
@Medic_Alert Had the same issue with amazon, its nuts.
Re: Guide: Xbox Series X & S Pre-Orders: Where To Buy The New Consoles
@FraserG I've never been so nervous about a console pre-order before. At least we won't have to go through this again for a while.

@Medic_Alert Same here, I got mine from the MS store. So happy! Game stuck me in a queue to just log in. Smyths toys crashed.

Re: Xbox Acquires ZeniMax Media, Parent Company Of Bethesda Softworks
Insane! A mic drop moment for Microsoft.
This will have a massive impact on Sony in the years ahead.
Imagine these remasters coming to series X next year or the year after:
Fallout 3
New vegas
Skyrim
That's a solid 6 gaming franchises that are now xbox and PC only:
Doom
Dishonord
The elder scrolls
Fallout
Wolfenstein
Prey
Why couldn't they have waited until tomorrow! It's going to be even harder to get a pre-order now!
Re: Pick One: Which Is Your Favourite Gears Of War Game?
Gears of war 1, mainly because I played it in uni with my friend Dom.
Re: Guide: What Games Are Coming To Xbox Series S & X At Launch?
Games I'll buy will probably be:
Blops Cold War
Dirt 5
FIFA 21
The falconeer looks interesting but has future gamepass game all over it.
The other games will just be gamepass games and the free upgrades to what I already have.
Everything coming out about the PS5 has really put me off getting one. The new Spiderman was the only real game from their launch line up I wanted. Will probably leave it until the end of next year before picking one up.
Re: Gears Of War Has A New Limited Edition 'Locust Horde' Xbox Controller
Why release older versions when the new controller version is coming out. Waste of effort and money.
Re: Sony Responds To Xbox With Official PS5 Price Reveal

Only about 4 or 5 games shown so far interest me and most of them are not launch titles. So might hold out for a GOW limited edition version next year.
Re: Talking Point: What Will You Play First On Your New Xbox Series S/X?
Will def be getting Dirt 5 and I've been holding off playing Gears 5 since they said it was going to be improved. Will also play some horizon 4 to see the difference.
Re: Pick One: Which Of These Newly Announced Ubisoft Games Are You Most Excited For?
