Yeah I believe so

deathstar1000 · Jun 14, 2016

For those wanting to use the Kinect on the X1S...

Awesome! I knew I got my 4K TV (minus HDR - Grrr) for something!

deathstar1000 · Jun 14, 2016

Here's a good reason to upgrade:

Completely pointless without a 4k tv.

deathstar1000 · Jun 20, 2016

Best Buy has the X1 plus a free controller for $280.

Red Dead Redemption is coming to backwards compatability on Friday. One of my top three all time favorite games.
I've actually been thinking of playing that again this summer, so this is great news.

Xbox One S releasing in 2 weeks!

Anyone else get this?

deathstar1000 · Aug 2, 2016

Best Buy is offering $125 trade-in for an XBOX One. I'm taking mine after I get everything transferred over. I don't think I can get much better than that.

deathstar1000 · Apr 6, 2017

Scorpio is being revealed today!

deathstar1000 · Jun 11, 2017

So who is watching the conference today?

deathstar1000 · Jun 11, 2017

Looks like you can stream it in 4k!

Hail_Lord_Helmet · Jun 11, 2017

Nothing mind blowing. Did love the total Xbox backwards compability coming soon. OG XB games here we come. Forza looked amazing. Not sure if I'll upgrade to a Xbox One X 1X 1

DarkManX · Jun 11, 2017

no VR? blah. System sounds good but it isn't enough of an update for me to buy. I'm a pretty casual gamer, so this probably isn't really aimed at me.

deathstar1000 · Aug 19, 2017

Preorder info for the XBX is supposed to be released tomorrow.

deathstar1000 · Oct 24, 2017

Original XBOX games are now compatible with the X1!

now if they'd just get EA NCAA Football 2014 backwards compatible I'll be able to sell my 360 for $20

Lobotscomb · Oct 26, 2017

I hold on to most of my games and systems, and they take up the whole walk in closet. the one major game i need compatible is Rogue Trooper. a damn fine game. they released it for wii much later on, but i hate controlling ti with motion control gimmick

deathstar1000 · Nov 1, 2017

What external drive are you guys using? I plan to get a 4TB one the XBX.

Masterfett · Nov 1, 2017

Same here, I'm at 90GB's and afraid that it will be full with the next game. I've been eyeing the Xbox one by Seagate just to avoid any compatibility issues, but it seems you're paying for the name. As you can get one about half that price. So I've been comparing the WD easy store from BB. Not really sure about brands I've never heard of, but HD's can't be to complicated now days.

Flacksguy · Nov 1, 2017

I've been using a 4T WD for years, no issues with it at all.
I think either would be fine, so long as they use AC power and not power from the console.

Just saw Best Buy has an 8T on sale for $179, normally $300. I would have jumped on that if I didn't already have one.

Masterfett · Nov 2, 2017

What's wrong with drawing power from the Console? My power strip is maxed out as it is, so i wasn't looking forward to adding another unit that requires power.

Flacksguy · Nov 2, 2017

From what I understand.....and I'm definitely not a computer guy mind you...but the powered drives have a larger internal disk, and they run at a faster speed. I have no idea if you would ever notice the difference if you were playing a game directly off your drive or not, but that was enough reason for me.

deathstar1000 · Nov 6, 2017

Got me a WD 4TB drive this weekend and have transferred everything over. Now to wait for the X1 to be unleashed!

deathstar1000 · Nov 7, 2017

Picked mine up a little while ago.

Flacksguy · Nov 7, 2017

Nice,
let us know how it you like it once you take it for a test drive.

Flacksguy · Dec 7, 2017

Might be a little late for this, but Best Buy has an 8 T Hard drive for sale for $140, today only.
Its normally $300, so a pretty great deal. I grabbed one for myself.

Flacksguy · Dec 21, 2017

Todays Best Buy deal of the day is a 4T hard drive for $85.
Its actually the same one I've had for over a year, and it's worked great for me. No issues at all.
Pretty great price, I think I paid around $120-140 for mine.

Xbox Live is selling the digital version of Elder Scrolls Online for $10. It's just the base game, but there is a ton of content in there for a great price. Bought it today just to have it digitally and not to have to fool with the disc.
I didn't care much for ESO when it first came out, but they fixed everything that people had issues with, and now it is awesome. I put a ton of time into it, just playing it as a single player game.

Flacksguy · Feb 11, 2018

Shadow Warrior is free this month with Xbox Live Gold.
It's a great, mindless shooter/slasher, well worth your time if you haven't tried it yet. The dialogue is just hilarious, but you definitely don't want to play it around kids.
I already have it on disc, but I downloaded it again to have it digitally and to have an excuse to play it again.

deathstar1000 · Mar 27, 2018

12-month XBL is up for $40.

You have to log in to see the price.

deathstar1000 · Jun 11, 2018

So a new Halo, Gears & Forza.

Although, great, I really wasn't blown away by their press conference.

Most of the games shown were not even exclusive.

Hail_Lord_Helmet · Jun 12, 2018

Apparently word is MS is looking to the next Gen. Yeah they’ll still pump out games, but they are basically taking the loss this Gen and looking to the future...

Flacksguy · Dec 9, 2018

If anyone on Xbox One hasn't gotten Battlefield One yet, CD Keys has a tremendous deal for the digital version: Battlefield One deluxe, including all four DLC and deluxe edition content, and Battlefield 1943 for $5.29
To be clear, this is the Battlefield that came out last year, the WW I game. Worth it for the excellent campaign alone.
