Anyone have any idea why the rollout of titles showing up as enhanced is seemingly so random? I still have just Gears 4, but own at least 10 titles with confirmed support.

I own most of them, including Gears 4, but none show up under the 'enhanced' short option at all lol
Safe to say it's not working properly and not worry about it too much.

XB1X uses a standard two pin power cable, same as the XB1S. You should be able to use a standard 3 pin -> 2 pin adapter if you wish to plug a 3 pin into a 2 pin port.
Also I'm not at home so I can't check for sure but the PS4 Pro and XB1 uses this type of 2 pin power cable, which has a similar form to the 3 pin but contains only 2 pins inside.
My theory behind the games not showing up as Xbox One X enhanced yet is because the tab looks for the flag in the game internal description and if it hasn't been updated yet it does not say Xbox x yet so when the update is downloaded that's when it will show up in the enhanced tab.
that's my theory
that's my theory
I think im going to box mine up, unless they do a discount on them.

Is it confirmed that there won't be an offer for X1X system upgraders like there was for those last year going to the X1S?
Does not seem like it. I am sure they put a tweet out to the effect. Shame really because I still use my Kinect but maybe it's time to retire it.

I got the free adapter when I bought my S. I haven't used it as my kids have the Kinect on my Day One console.
But when I get my X I'll pass the S to them. Then they can use the adapter.

I only have the original Xbox One so I'm going on what I can find online.
The one I own has this power connector.
Which is different to the PS4.
And the PS4 Pro.
The Xbox One version that I own uses the same type of cable as the Pro but that actually plus into the power brick rather than into the console.
As you can see from that the other end is, from what I know, A proprietary connector only used on the Xbox One.
This is the S version, which is identical to the X version of the console.
Are people saying that it's identical to the standard PS4 power connection? Because to me, it looks like it's a different shape to the standard one because
These are the ends of the power leads of the three consoles next to each other, maybe I'm missing something obvious but I'm just not seeing that the Xbox One version is anything close to the other two which is why I'm hoping to get some sort of adapter so that I'd be able to use that PS4 or PS4 Pro leads that are already being used.

Has it posted to your card or just an authorization?
Walmart Canada is notorious for doing holds for the amount of preorders on cards. It might disappear after a few days.
I don't quite get it either. They have been doing it with the games I preordered from them.

So my debit card at my bank got compromised, is it ok if I change the card on amazon? Or do I have to call

With the PS4, I had to change my card because it expired, and I had to call.
Shouldnt be a problem, but I'd call to make sure.

This is where I'm at. I consume a lot of media on my original Xbox One currently and use voice commands constantly to control that - the X1X is going to replace my current Xbox as my main media player and ideally I'd bring over headset-free voice controls to it. But paying for an adapter and introducing and extra wire and especially a power brick to the situation when the X1X is supposed to streamline that is unattractive. Unfortunately I'm not set up with a smart TV or other media player devices that can do voice controls.
Hopefully MS comes up with a contemporary, discreet, inexpensive solution for Kinect-style voice controls. Let me use my Echo Dot that's in the same room, I know Cortana and Alexa became friends recently.
I'm considering keeping my old Xbox somewhere else in the home and I'd leave the Kinect on that. However, I already game share with someone (who does not live with me), and I'm not sure how my old Xbox One will act as the third wheel. Anyone have experience with this? Will it not be much of a hassle for me to use my account on the old box and to play my personal library of digital games?
It's a pain in the ass, but I like having the kinect setup for stuff like signing me or my SO in when she uses the Xbox. And using voice controls without having to use a headset. I think for simple things like that it's worth the $29 investment.
But yeah it's annoying.

Speaking of pre orders.. I just pre-ordered a licensed Xbox one mouse and keyboard. Thoughts?

Brilliant, thank you. That's what I wanted as I have one of those connected already and because I hide all my leads it's a lot simpler for me not to have to unplug and plug in the extension that I use.XB1S, XB1X and PS4 use the exact same connector
In the Xbox One family only the original model uses a proprietary connector. Also the middle pin on the power connector of the PS4 Pro is not connected to the console.
I'm happy with that!!

I sold mine a month ago waiting for the X. But at least I still have 360 and a bunch of backlog games.

I just put in a pre-order from Best Buy because I'm feeling the hype.
I can't believe they're not going to provide a Kinect adapter though. Why?
Also, if I do end up going through with getting the X, looking to sell my Xbox Launch console (sans Kinect). Seems like Amazon is the best bet for ~$100. Any other promotions going on for resell (US)?

Did Sony have a big hype train for the Pro? All I remember was the same kind of Taco Bell promotion that MS is doing with the X.

Because they stopped including Kinect with the system like 4 years ago & clearly have been slowly phasing it out since then.

They didn't.
I still need that hype train. I think it's a matter of waiting for enough patches to drop so they can send units out to journalists. No use sending them out if there isn't enough Xbox One X Enhanced content to play.

I was hoping they might do the free adaptor for upgrades like they did with the S.
I may well just pack it up, shame I have the whole family setup for auto sign in if it sees them, was handy.

I'm not installing mine. As much as I thought I'd use it for Skype it never seems like the right situation when I'm sitting in my gym clothes paying videogames.

Just a shame , I guess I assumed they would since they had it for the S. I still use it for audio commands literally every day so it's essential . Can't believe the adapter is $50.
This.
I have had my Kinect disconnected since I got my S and it sucks not being able to give voice commands

Holy moly, what model was it and did you include any games? I only have a 500Gb One S, but it seems like I'll be lucky to push past $150. Not gonna complain as I only paid $190 for it, but still...
For a day 1 thats quite a good price, not much value in these now though Id there, guy at work offered a bit above those trade cash sites so saved mucking about.

I'm just thinking...
These 'where's the hype / where's the adverts etc.' posts...
It's sold out hasn't it for release day and the next few weeks after that. So why the need to advertise?
Just a thought.

Thought I would take a gander and see some salty scalper tears however why are people buying pre orders on eBay for more than the price you can actually buy it for. It's so backwards, just go to Amazon and pre order it and if you want the Scorpio edition, it pops back up now and then. Yeesh, save your money.

Same here, scored on it at Target a while back... Sent it in a month or so ago for $165 to decluttr.
Enthusiast purchase I guess, they don't need mass advertising. I'm sure Microsoft will slap S and X with most powerful console together in promos but that's about it. I don't know if it will be a hot holiday item so maybe pointless doing anything huge.

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
I got the free one last year with the S, and its a fucking mess of boxes and cables and an additional power supply. Its awful.

It's not my image, I just wanted one that showed a clearly defined image of the shape of the power input inside the cutout because the original Xbox One and the PS4 have very similar looking connectors even though they are in fact very different.
I dont quite understand... thats not the power connector, its the HDMI IN.
There are many images showing the power input but they weren't clear enough to show the detail that was needed.
EDIT:
Sorry, I appear to have taken over this thread with my talk of power cables. I'll go away now and leave you all in peace. ��
