What is this and what is going on?
Another reason not to own an xbox, gg.
Even less incentive to buy an Xbox. Good job Microsoft.
The very idea that it would be fine in retail was dumb to begin with. What were people expecting ?
No fun allowed.
At what point do we pass the line where it would be better to just ditch the Xbox and have a living room PC instead?
Serious question, what are the downsides?
Would I miss XB1, 360, Xbox games or are those emulated on PC?
I really just want one box to run old and new games. No jank.
Have you used Dev mode?Just use Dev Mode.
Another nothingburger lol, OP is on a roll!
release the influencers, on my mark
Emulated without issues?Those are emulated on PC. If you can build a SFF PC that’s powerful enough, go for it.
Retail mode let's you install emulatorsWhat is this and what is going on?

From my experience emulation is far from perfect, although it iis a few months back it was not really stable with lots of dips...That beiing said my emulator has been updated like 10 times since so maybe it is better now.And it is also possible that I wanted to play the wrong games too.Emulated without issues?
Can I use my old discs?
Would I miss out on frame boost or could I get that through emulators?
What’s a SFF PC?
List all the downsides. I’m seriously considering this. Would mean I could play Starfield with mods and at 60fps in the couch with home theater sound

Much less convenientJust get the Dev mode, ffs.
People like to poke the hornet’s nest.
Exactly my question.How many modes does Xbox have?
Could we start a serious thread about a Xbox to PC swap for the living room? No platform warring allowed, only serious talk. Is it possible? Maybe with help from mods to keep the talk serious?Its time for me to sell my XSX and bulid a PC
Well you won't find any more jank than on Windows. However, it's made by the same people who did the Xbox OS, so..No fun allowed.

Did this happen back then or just recently?Xbox can fuck right off with this banning. My ancient 360 is perma banned. Not my account. My whole fkn console. Not even game updates. Nothing.
Just because I played halo3 before release…. Single player…
I also think it is less convenient, but it was the only sane choice in my thinking. I did Dev Mode from the get go to avoid getting on white lists, Discord channels, potential MS blocks and bans.Much less convenient
Windows jank is way more intense than switching to Dev Mode…Could we start a serious thread about a Xbox to PC swap for the living room? No platform warring allowed, only serious talk. Is it possible? Maybe with help from mods to keep the talk serious?
With no emulators and MS not doing a Pro I’m thinking I’ll use the XSX much less going forward, will use PS5 Pro for multiplats, leaving XSX used for 1st party games and some of those I already play on PC, plus the occasional console exclusive Gamepass release. The kids play some Lego games and Viva Pinata too.
But I need unbiased and detailed info about all the upsides and downsides before doing a swap, all the real consequences from seriously not owning a Xbox. ”Just buy a PC” has never been a realistic option.
Plus, I would like case recommendations, fans vs AIO water cooling, etc
Tips for emulators needed for XB/360/XB1, possible consequences there too and if possible tips how to work around issues and avoid jank.
I use Windows every day. Zero jank.Windows jank is way more intense than switching to Dev Mode…
Not a reasonable take.
At what point can't you just buy Dev mode?No fun allowed.
Nintendo?You know who else banned you for using emulators?
I’ve had dev mode for many years.At what point can't you just buy Dev mode?
So what's your issue then?I’ve had dev mode for many years.

That’s the main issue. It just takes too long to reboot, essentially means I don’t bother using it.I first have to go into a menu to reboot in dev mode, I clocked it when dev mode was new but can’t remember the time now, was a couple minutes, it’s not like a normal reboot
