Nice! But how does this compare to the 1X? I would think it looks/plays almost the same?

One X is unable to hold 60 fps.

Those who were lucky enough not to buy a Series X at launch but still want another chance to buy it can try at midnight on 28th Nov. It will restock on Amazon.

Also my first series s video.

 

 

 

 

 

Looks pretty good. Is it worth it at the price? I am seriously considering this, instead of SX, till PS5 is released.

Even apart from this mode 

every other mode barely has any advantage over PS5 

like 5frames at tops at any given time,sometimes not even that (in gameplay) 

 

Game loads 35% faster on PS5 

 

 

chaale gaya 20% graphics advantage bhainswa ki aaaankh mai 

 

Xbots ki sumbdi mai kumbdi :- 

 

This is clearly an optimisation problem. This game was built for last gen. 
 

Even Miles Morales is only able to draw only ~60% of potential PS5 power.

 

Should wait for next gen games built for next gen before concluding anything.

 

Also, just watch digital foundry x1x vs pro for red dead redemption 2, wolfenstein 2 and shadow of war. Pro loses very badly - that’s called real losing

Yeah it is if you get it at 30k or below. I will get Series X eventually though, but so far this console is fine. Not a single game had performance issue yet, and all unlocked framerate games ran rock solid at 60 fps.

Holy sh@t! Just received a message that my XSX is ‘out for delivery’. Ordered on 9th Nov, receiving today! Will share pics once I get it!

If that’s making you feel better today 

then why not 

 

 

also congrats on the shipment

Ironically, I am currently playing Marvel’s Spiderman on PS4 Pro. I thoroughly enjoyed PS exclusives. But Pro’s multi-platform gaming performance is so disappointing compared to one X 

 

Another example, Rise of the Tomb Raider - amazing game but the Pro only offers high fidelity enriched visuals mode at 1080p, looks blurry in my TV. One X does Enriched Visuals at 4K - come on man!

The whole world knows & admits that 

& there is Scientific reason for that 

 

PS4pro & XBoneX were never direct competitors when it came to hardware 

 

Pro was $100 cheaper & full one year early to the market 

inflation adjusted,it was about $200 cheaper console & you get what you pay for end of the day 

 

 

That’s not the case with PS5 & SeriesX 

nor was it with PS4 & XBone 

 

I already said this numerous times her to Zodak & Trigger 

but I guess you weren’t around 

1 saal main 100 dollar inflation

It’s technology inflation 

not aalo pyaaz bhindi 

 

Tech changes faster than you think 

There is no 100% inflation in tech either and that too in 1 year. I dont believe 100 bucks in 2017 are worth 200 bucks in 2020.Not sure where you got that calculation from

Who said 100% inflation 

see you got it all wrong 

 

PS4pro was $399 at launch 

Full 1 year later it must have taken a lot less to assemble the same machine 

 

say maybe $299 

 

how is that 100% inflation 

You just said it cost 100 dollars less, and 200 dollars if we adjust for inflation..

One would think MS would have learnt a valuable lesson after the a*s whooping they had recieved from Sony in the beginning of current gen. Seems like they're just not talking about it openly and letting people find out after they've bought the console. There's a saying in kannada that literally goes, A dog's tail is always twisted.(no matter how much you straighten it) 

[ZooZoo]

This is going around on twitter since yesterday that Xbox cant be setup without the DRM activation while PS5 can be. Looks like some things never change  I thought MS learnt their lesson from last gen's a*s whooping but I guess they are now sadly addicted to it

& not an actual DRM interval like they planned for last gen 

 

You need to get games registered. Else they stop working. Some games need constant internet. DRM has entered the building again.

There's no question, X1X is more powerful compared to PS4Pro. I don't remember Sony marketing it as a native 4K machine, it was meant to upscale to 4K if I'm not mistaken. And today even the mighty PC is more driven towards upscaling tech than native 4K. Anyway, DF's John has said it multiple times, it's no longer about resolution but proper utilization of upscaling techniques, something Sony has become really good at. DF even picked PS4Pro as preferred system for Watch dogs legion thanks to its optimization, despite X1X having better resolution. As for real losing, that's selling less than 50M units compared to 115M sold by the competitor. 

Also, for some reason you sound a lot like that wolf guy.

[radicaldude]

there is a workaround though.

 

 

But this is abhorrent. Game preservation my @$$ if BC needs constant updates/ internet connection. Phil Spencer needs to learn from their (tainted?) history.

That's what I thought too. But seems like after a cold boot, people are not able to play disc games that they already activated, it's expecting to be connected to internet for activation again. 

 

I don't think this is a big problem though, if there's enough backlash I'm sure they'll revert it, just like they did with day 1 patch of XB1. But it's kinda shocking they continued with this after what happened current gen.

Who the f**k are these idiot youtubers? This personalisation thing has been there since Xbox one vcr. You can't play xbox games offline unless you have made that console your home console. It was kind of a step to prevent game sharing indefinitely. Like Sony's primary PS4.

Bunch of noobs who bought xbox first time ever??
