Did it just not power on out of the blue or did you have issues prior

Unfortunately it wouldn't power on at all, I even went to a different store to buy an S and try the power lead from there but it made no difference.

It's completely dead. I tried different power outlets too, although I was skeptical the power outlet was the issue when other devices were fine.

Initially I thought I was being stupid and just forgot to power it on at the plug or something, or maybe not connect the cable properly, but I spent about an hour earlier trying everything I could think of.

I can get another X eventually but minimal chance of another Scorpio I imagine....

Some supersampled 1080p shots off the X. Looks amazing on my 1080p oled. Less impressive on my 4k monitor since 1080p doesnt scale well on 4k sets. Overall really impressed. Assassins Creed, GOW, Forza, and Halo look incredilbe

For everyone having issues with your console not working, make sure to call MS customer service and let them know. My launch OG Xbox One broke on launch night and MS gave me Dead Rising 3 and Ryse for free. Not a bad consolation prize for waiting another week to play.

So, updated the Xbox One X

put in a copy of Forza 7, it's installing & downloading a 95 GB update

I assume the 4K assets are an additional download after ?

If you have an x then no it'll be part of the patch.

For everyone not in the know, you can see what games have already been Xbox One X Enhanced by going to your games and apps, then go to the right and change the games that you want to see to “Xbox one x enhanced games”

I downloaded 4 games so far...

COD WW2
WOLFENSTIEN NEW COLOSSES
REDOUT
KI

As you can see from the pic, RedOut and COD WW2 still have not received their patch. IDK whats going on, but these should have been ready by now.

It’s been off for about a month or so, so it’s cold, if anything it should have acted as a heat sink. Fingers crossed this was a one off, I went through 6 360s over the RROD

Were they all in front of that radiotor too?

I killed a 360 when I moved someone and my setup was in front of the radiator. First thing I noticed was it was louder than normal, then the graphics went weird, then it Red ringed

My captures play as HDR just fine from thumb drive on my smart TV, but when uploading to YouTube, YT complains that it's missing HDR metadata. From what I'm reading, YT has pretty narrow HDR support. Hope this can be addressed soon.

Ya same play fine on USB to TV. Ughhh this needs to be addressed .

Just played for about 3 hours. Assassins Creed looks amazing and has great performance. Battlefield 1 feels like a whole new game on 64 player modes. Stable frame rate and resolution.

No, I have moved since then. Since I moved I have only had a Wii, PSP, fat PS3, and a PSVR fail on me. None of them near a radiator.
 
I'll never get this..first amazon fucked me now target.. says delivery by 8 pm today.. it's still in Tennessee as of an hour ago. No way it gets to VA...

Those Sennheiser's!!! YES
They're fantastic. I've been wanting to get a new pair of open headphones for a while now and the HD650s had been at the top of my list but I didn't really need them, so I waited ages until I saw these on MassDrop and it was just silly to say no at that price.

Although these are HD6XXs the only difference is they're a different colour and you get a shorter cable. I do actually prefer the colour of the HD650s over the HD6XXs but not so much that I'd be willing to pay twice as much for them.
What did all that run ya?
it wasn't too bad really.

I got the Sennheiser HD6XXs from MassDrop for $199.99, which I paid for months ago. I'm in the UK though so I did have to pay the expected import charges but it's still an absolute bargain for what is essentially a pair of HD650s in a different colour.

The Scorpio edition was the standard £449.99 UK price.

I've actually spent more time today messing with the headphones than the X. :)
 
Still the PS4 pro got the update, the Xbox One S still didn't, and now on the Xbox One X as well.
Google isn't the friendliest to their direct competitors.

Youtube seems to be a favorite weapon of choice for them, too. I think they pulled some shit with the FireTV YouTube app for awhile to get something from Amazon.

How does the 4K HDR footage look like on your PC? When I watch the HDR captures on my 5K iMac the colors are very dull. I understand its HDR footage on a non-HDR computer but I think the difference is too big. When I watch it on my LG 4K HDR OLED it looks amazing of course. But for now I don't see the point of using these captures on my computer or YouTube with all these dull and flat colors.

Trying to use my 1440p monitor with my One X, the most I can get resolution wise is 1080p.

1440p support is probably something that'll be coming in a future build. I know some MS higher-up confirmed it would work, but they tend to be working on stuff well ahead of the public builds, and have a tendency to forget how much stuff is in the builds they're using that isn't publicly available yet.

Hmm, I've got a Scorpio edition and not encountered any issues as of yet though I'm only running it in max 1080p. If I had a problem with the cooler, I'd probably see issues at even these resolutions right? What I don't want to happen is have it running fine in 1080 but when I do get a 4k TV it then stop working

Seriously, what's with this super slow initial update? 45 minutes and only 55%.

I just want to play!!!!!(hopefully it doesn't burn itself out on the update)

Is there a way to buy an extended warranty for this thing online? I just googled it and the only thing I see is to request it in a Microsoft Store within 45 days of purchase? I mean I would but I don't think I have any MS stores near me? I know they used to allow it online... hmm. I turned down the Gamestop warranty because I just planned to get it through MS.

Following up on my previous posts:
Local Gamestop manager just called me a few minutes ago, told me someone cancelled their preorder and I could get it. I asked him about the $200 S trade towards X deal and he confirmed is available for 1Tb XBS. Gonna go pick it up as soon as mine finishes transfer and do the factory reset on the S.

Strange. Just traded in my Xbox One S Gears of War 2TB system, and only got $180.00
 
Damn...so console is good but my Scorpio controller right trigger has a slight scrape when using it. Very annoying. I'm guessing we can exchange these through Microsoft too, right?

Wait, on the S I could record 10 min clips. On X only up to 30 seconds. Am I missing something? Why can't I record more than 30 seconds?

I’m much more impressed by gears 4 or even killer instinct than forza 7
There is still some aliasing in there even though it’s native. I mean I think GTS is cleaner.

But damn KI image quality is absolutely insane.

My GameStop told me I would get $150 for my Xbox One S 2TB. I asked if I would get extra since it is 2 TB. They said nope.

Mine was at $150.00 also, but they told me if I upgraded to the elite pro member I would get extra trade in value. I had enough points, so the upgrade was free. After all was said and done it still was $150.00 and the guy was puzzled why it did not go up in value. He pulled over his boss, and was told to override and give me a extra $30.00 in trade value. Perhaps I got lucky?
