Does atmos work on every headset, even those with simulated surround sound? I thought I read it works with stereo headsets, so should it work with my headset if I put it in stereo?

Not sure how it works with the headsets i have a home theater setup. Those are the only games I've found that light up the atmos symbol on my reciever.

Happy to live in the midwest where data caps have mostly been something i hear about from my east coast friends, rather than a reality of daily life. Much sympathy to all you who have to deal with them.
I'm with Cable One and the service and speed have been great, but the cap sucks. If I moved 10 miles away, then I'd have no cap. Ah well ‍♂️

what's your monthly limit? I've heard for some people its as low as 50GB, which seems entirely untenable.
1TB, 200meg, I pay $105 Plus tax a month for this. If I get gigabit, the limit is 1.5TB but I'm not paying $200 after taxes for internet.

There is a 50GB plan but that's for the 15mb plan.

Yep, it works on my turtle beach 800x elites. The site will never say it because they use DTS, but like everyone said, put it in stereo mode and you'll be good to go.

Xbox just sent me a code for a free copy of the Lego Batman Movie in 4k for being one of the first Xbox One X customers. Why the hell would anybody want a kids movie? Give a game that shows off the system. Cheap as hell.

This post me laugh so hard. Ungrateful as hell, no offense. I like free, it's my second favorite F word. I haven't got a code yet and my nephew would love to see Lego Batman so as a Scorpio owner I'd like to get one.

Xbox keeps hooking me up with free stuff! First I received $5 code to use for Black Friday and now I just received a code for this:

Uuuh this is a great movie (far better Batman movie than DCEU's stuff, actually) and visually stunning.

Thanks for the help everyone. Probably a stupid question but I need to change my audio settings back when I'm not playing atmos supported content, right?

Also does it seem like there may be a slight delay? Dialogue seemed off from the facial animation during the opening cut-scene in RotTR. Otherwise it sounds amazing. I thought my headset sounded great before but the surround effects are even more impressive with atmos. Was also impressed that the feature recognized that my headset uses an optical cable.

I really hate Upload Studio anymore. At times I can get videos to upload to XBL and other times I can't get them to upload. Yes I check my queue but it just so sits at 0%.

So I just found out my cable company will be rolling out 1Gig (1,000 Mbps) download speeds in my area next year for $129.95/month. It's actually available in some areas already. Might jump on this when it finally hits.

Damn, those prices are terrible.

I'm currently paying 25€ for my 150Mb (no cap; Germany).

Edit: wrong quote at first

That's a really fucking terrible offer. Asymmetrical and with cap and for 130 USD/month? This cost 20 USD/month with VAT, no caps. Here in Europoor Czech Republic near Prague: http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/6831632484

Those US internet prices are TOO DAMN HIGH (and with caps).

Played through the whole Star Wars Battlefront 2 campaign yesterday. Despite all the shit the game is getting from all sides ... I really enjoyed the campaign and I think graphically it was the most beautiful game I have ever played. Epic moments, insane environments and great details everywhere.

My jaw dropped in some of those Starfighter Assault missions. I couldn't believe this is running in 60fps and nearly native 4K. There is so much going on and the lighting is insane.

I also just finished this just now, and I was constantly wow'd by variety and detail of those insane environments and details also throughout the campaign.

Still yet to try the multiplayer, but afraid those rubberbandit afk's will ruin the game.

What are the best enhanced games to play on XBox One X? I'm buying a One X in the next days and wonder what to play first. Since I own a regular XBox One I already have some games: Gears 4, Forza Horizon 3, Forza 7, Sunset Overdrive, Rise Of The Tomb Raider, Killer Instinct, Master Chief Collection, Halo 5.
I also own a PS4 and I'm afraid I played nearly every major release this year. The ony one I haven't played is Wolfenstein 2, so it's a no brainer I'll buy it with the One X. But since there is a sale for games at Media Markt by the end of the Week (buy two, get one free) I'm looking for another one to buy with Wolfenstein 2.

A bit of an obtuse question, but what multiplayer games lately have been known to have most pubs using the voice chat?

I need to find a surefire test that I've got voice chat setup correctly on my headset. Alternatively, if anyone's willing to send me a friend invite so they can be my guinea pig for a party chat later, that would be swell too.

Is there such a thing as community party groups, via clubs or whatever?

Damn why you have to make me feel like like a lowly peasant like that? Lol. The worst part is that that price is probably on the cheaper side compared to other places in the US. That's what we have to deal with over here. :-(

Noticed I got my Lego code too. Mighty nice of them.

Looks like you already have many of the showcase titles. I haven't played it but a lot of people seem to be impressed with Assassins Creed Origins. Quantum Break is also another gorgeous title but some cut-scenes have performance issues. Speaking of performance issues, while more than playable, Wolfenstein 2 does have some minor performance issues on the 1X as well.

I concur. Best looking game I've ever played. The MP is fun too. Even Blast (TDM) is a good laugh.

Really like the game, such a shame EA screwed it up.

And mind you, we have 22% VAT, so ISP receives ~3/4 of that price from which they need to pay taxes as well, so it's really incredibly cheap...

Wonder how it's going to be after FCC fuck things up, as far as I know they don't this time what ordinary people are saying....

Lmao... Could you be more entitled? "God damnit Microsoft, the free shit you're giving me isn't good enough!"

If you don't want the code, don't use it.

I was the one who posted the loud Xbox One X video in this thread.
https://youtu.be/GqCozmM-Ako

I took my Scorpio Edition Xbox One X back to Best Buy yesterday as it seemed to be getting worse. I did an even swap with a standard edition Xbox One X. But they let me swap controllers so I still have the Scorpio Edition one. I actually like the look of the standard Xbox One X more, so win-win!

Anyway, the new Xbox One X didn't make a single peep all night as I played Assassin's Creed Origins! It's silent!

If your Xbox One X's fan gets really loud during game play (mine sounded like a strong wind through a gap in a window), there's something wrong with it. Take that sucker back!

Too bad I'm already 40 hours in AC Origins. But thanks for reminding me of Quantum Break. That's a game I always wanted to play but I always thought "Nah... next time". I guess now is "next time".
