Re: Xbox Series X Mini Fridge Pre-Orders Open Next Week, Arriving This December

Hang on!
It only holds 12 cans?
What happens when that gets full?
I'll have to decide what cans I'm keeping, that I need, and then decide about the another ones that I just need to use up and get rid of!
I know you're gonna say that I have to be more organised, but still.
Is there an expansion slot?
Will Seagate get the exclusive for the overpriced expansion to hold an extra 6 cans?

Re: An Xbox Series X|S SSD Storage Adapter Could Save You Money

Porridge2215

When the news first broke that you could get an adaptor and a card a few weeks ago I started investigating and this story kicked that off again.
From what I can tell both times, at £30 for the adaptor, and managing find the exact spec and the physical size of card to fit in the adaptor, might as well just buy the official card.
Nearly I've done my maths wrong or wasn't looking at the correct shopping sites, but to me it really just is not worth it.
The new 512gb will be the option for me in a several months time, until then my 480gb SSD connected is working just fine

Re: Unlike The PC Version, Far Cry 6 Won't Support Ray Tracing On Xbox Series X|S

@SplooshDmg, what I came on here to say ! I even I think I'd rather play a 1080 30fps with RT

What I can't understand is that with dynamic scaling can't they just let the frame rate drop to a minimum of 1080, maybe a maximum of 1800 (so there isn't that dramatical a changed between resolution), keep Ray tracing even at 60fps

I'm simplifying a lot, but would have imagined that Ray tracing was an on off switch? (I think pc games have that sort of thing) And wouldn't dynamic resolution be a Min Max slider anyway, one which the developer would have access to?

No problems with wired, playe a LOT with the PowerA, which has 2 programmable buttons at rear
NEARLY bought these, as I thought it was the one with 3d Atmos license as part of the package, but realised it wasn't
In the end, got the wireless 3d and STILL have to buy Atmos licence...
This would be a great story, but isn't, as addicted to ps5 immortals fynex rising (35% complete), so won't be buying game pass ultimate for a few weeks or more...

Re: Surprise! Sam & Max: Save The World Remastered Is Now Available On Xbox

On the pc originally, I just remember clicking on everything in screen and getting a humorous, but aggravating, comment.
Every single click, Every time, annoying,
"You can't use that here"
"You don't want to do that"
"Hey I guess you wouldn't wanna put that up your nostril"
Okay maybe i exaggerate, but, still...
But I would play it on game pass, for about 2 hours

Re: Xbox Boss Phil Spencer Gives His Initial Thoughts On Valve's Steam Deck

64gb storage? I'm sure it's fast and all that, but seems a crazy small amount!
i'd leave the steam deck purely for steam game, not Xbox streaming, as isn't 720 a bit too low-res to be streaming games to? Could you read text in Xbox games?. A large 6.5" phone with £10 phone_controller-holder is probably perfectly functional for streaming.
I wonder is there a 1080 streaming device about 7.5 inch about, cheap, as an alternative?
