Huge props for the pre install feature. I was undecided with Valhalla but pre installed on my external just in case, and transferred it over when I set up.
Mrs Flintty just got me the physical game and all I need to do is download the XSX patch, which I had already started. Love it.

The visual smoothness is amazing. This game seems ripe for a 120fps patch at some point as well.

Heads up for those having synchronization issues with the included controller , my controller wouldn't sync at all until I plugged it with an USB cable and it updated. After that it worked as expected.
I tried Crackdown 3 for fun since I didn't play it when it launched because of the bad reviews.. loading is really fast and gameplay is a lot more fun than I expected. It's almost as good as the first one, but the quality of the environment and the art direction is all over the place. Next game will be Jedi Fallen order since I didn't finish it on my X one X because of the bad framerate, looks like it wont be a problem anymore. For those who tried AC: Valhalla, is it worth it? Since Cyberpunk was delayed I'm looking for a good ''next-gen" game to try in the meantime.

Holy shit, people weren't joking about FH4 on Series X. It's ridiculous how good it looks.

Even quieter than my One X, which I seldom ever heard.

If you mean “quiet”, I haven’t heard a peep from this thing. Even the air coming out of the stack is barely warm.

I think I might have spoken too soon. The patch finished downloading but it kept saying I don’t own the game. So I launched from the disc and it’s now downloading another 46GB patch
Edit: Yup it’s a whole new fucking install and I have two versions of the game on my drive. What the fuck MS?

Yes. I switched from my One X controller.
The headset adapter with volume controls works on the new controller too.

The 60fps changes the sense of speed in that game dramatically. Feels like you're flying in 60 fps.

Has any tried skyrim or fallout 4 do they run smoother?

Fallout runs at 60fps and I believe I read that Skyrim really benefits from the SSD.

I only ever heard it when the kids played Fortnight (yes, definitely 'the kids') and for some reason my X's fans would go really, really loud and the console would get really hot.

Well, i just loaded up gears tactics to carry on a game, it came up quick resume then it threw me back to dash.
now i try to start gears tactics, i just get a black screen.. I have tried all sorts to start it and nothing is working.
I hope i have not got to reinstall it.
I have a feeling this quick resume might be more trouble than it's worth...

I took an infrared thermometer and pointed it everywhere inside the top of the XSX along with a flashlight immediately after 1 run on Halo Exp. in FH4, then while car just sat in the race on the second run, and the highest temp I could register was 50°C, mostly ranging in the mid-40s. The surface was ~32°C right at the edge of the top vent, then around 20°C on the rest of the unit's surface. The air feels warm and the fan runs at a relaxed speed with very little perceivable noise coming out of the system.

The game has a ton of QOL enhancements, additional quests, a 2D side story w/ the ability to play the full game in 2D, and an orchestral soundtrack. It is a huge step up over the original the only downsides are the lower render resolution and low res muddy/soft textures. I would assume the former wouldn't be an issue on Xbox/PC and the latter is somewhat masked by the art style. A shame that there is no true definitive version with the S enhancements and original graphics but don't let that stop you from playing it. Absolutely fantastic JRPG.
Frankly the lower quality graphics on JRPG titles like DQ don't bother me. What JRPGS lack in graphical fidelity they make up for in story and gameplay. Really excited this game is on Xbox now. I've encouraged several friends to try it.

While I'm over the moon with the X I'm a bit pissed off at 3/4 of my games don't show up when i connect my external drives. There's possibly 160 missing but when I connect back up to my One X they are all there working. Any Ideas Or anyone have the same problem? I don't have the fastest internet either.

So I just tested Skyrim loading into various places across the map, and it loads in literal seconds. Framerate also seems far more stable than it was after the initial 4k update, but I don't know if that was fixed before the Series X was released.

I still can't believe there was no new consoles in the wild yesterday. My cousin drove all around town and I have online alerts put everywhere. What kind of release day is that! My concept of release day and Microsoft's concepts seem to differ. I'm just salty lol.

Get my Series X tomorrow. So excited. Disappointed I did not snag a PS5.
Question for you all- what is the best 32" or smaller monitor to take advantage of all the Series X capabilities?

No monitors exist with HDMI 2.1 yet, so you'll miss out on 120hz. If that doesn't matter to you, Digital Foundry has a really good list
The best gaming monitor 2024: Digital Foundry's picks for PC, PS5 and Series X
The best 1080p, 1440p, 4K and ultrawide gaming monitors on the market recommended by Digital Foundry, including 144Hz and 240Hz options.

Make sure it's 4k, has Freesync and HDR and is at least an IPS.
