FYI a retail version (i.e. no need of developer mode) of retroarch is now available for Xbox: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/p/retroarch69/9mx29m0p7rqc?rtc=1&activetab=pivot:overviewtab FTP app for transferring files: https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9NKPZMQ8R1MR On Xbox One, retroarch used to struggle with Gamecube/Wii games but on Xbox Series X, the emulation seems near perfect. Even 4K resolution seems to work well. However, the motion control of Wiimote are a bit difficult to perform with the XSX controller. If only the XSX controller had gyro.

When I used to buy each game and when I had a lot of time on my hands gamerscore was an excellent motivation to thoroughly explore each game I purchased. But now with GWG, Game Pass and a huge backlog I no longer feel motivated to get every achievement in a game. Still achievements hold some value for me. Some games have achievements that give a real sense of achievement in getting them (e.g. Mile High Club on COD:MW) or are plain fun and I still go for those but for many games they are just designed to prolong play time (i.e. the collect 500 markers which are all the same but scattered randomly around the map) and I usually skip those these days.

Take a look at https://www.trueachievements.com/ for achievement hunting and stats. It also displays the total number of completed games excluding DLC (similar to PlayStation's platinum).

Got my XSX delivered today from amazon. I had placed the order on Nov-10 and it was originally supposed to arrive on Nov-13 but then got delayed to Jan-2 then once again to Jan 5. But then they shipped it on Jan 2 and it was supposed to arrive on Jan 3. It was even showing out for delivery on Jan 3 but didn't come. Anyways it arrived today. Import date is Dec-2020. Going from OG Xbox One to XSX is a revelation.

I got the same mail but with delivery date as Jan 5. I had ordered on Nov-10. Hopefully this is the last time the date changes.

Mine is still showing "Arriving Friday" but hasn't shipped yet.

Got one as well!!! Will you let us know when it says it will arrive for you? The mail from amazon says arriving Nov 13th for me. But the amazon xbox series x product page says available 28 Nov.
