That's another can of worm. Really, how difficult is to build a Universal power supply?

I remember people buying step-down voltage regulators back in X360 days.

 

Yep. Used to have the step-down voltage converter. Don't use it anymore since the power brick fried. Replaced it with the Indian one.

Early launch maybe? There were rumours floating around.

Handson Controller on One X before the launch..  what is Series S supposed to be? Digital Edition right ? Would be bad idea to have a lower spec console as Series S

Microsoft has quietly abandoned its Xbox 20/20 announcement branding

 

Quote

Microsoft has ditched its Xbox 20/20 branding announced back in May, after only using it once.

The term was coined as part of Microsoft's plan for a monthly Xbox Series X marketing "moment", which began in May with a third-party games showcase. But, after that, Xbox 20/20 was never used again.

XCloud is Full-launching in September, that is why.

Many people will need stand-alone controllers.

If I'm not wrong, they already said via Twitter, like a month or so back, that they're not going to do the 20/20 format due to Covid. Pretty sure it was even discussed here.

There's not much difference between the old and new controllers but yeah, maybe.

xCloud is launching for everyone, even for those who never owned a console or a PC.

 

If they want to do it right, they should be having bundle with Android phones, with xCloud subs, with mounts like this given for free.

They announced a partnership with samsung so maybe in future phone samsung will bundle it.

Speaking of mounts, anyone knows where to buy a DS4/Phone mount? I had one ages back, can’t seem to find it. Amazon or FK have no such listing.

Controller has one year warranty. If you go backwards it lands on 5th Nov launch. Everything is leaking

I was really hoping the September/October launch rumours were true. :/

 

Also, 1 year warranty on the controllers? That is quite nice! The ones right now only have a 3-6 month warranty, right?

 

PS - Just checked. 90 days.

Limited warranty is one year. The other one is 90 days.
