So, I've noticed a high-pitched whine that is constant and slight whenever I have a game going. It's definitely coming from my One X Scorpio Edition and only when I have a game running. I'm all digital, so no disc drive. I've searched the internet but can't find anything on it. Anybody heard of this? Is it normal?

Could be coil whine.

Definitely liking Witcher 3 waaaay more than the second game, which I could only put a few hours into before I gave up. Combat is much better in 3, though I'm still not completely sold on it.

Witcher 3 looks phenomenal on my OLED, even without the 4k textures. HDR really does bring IQ full circle, and I'm talking about in general, not just in W3. The implementation here is great.

I really hope they add the 4K textures to The Witcher 3, I played that game on a 2gb 7850 and used the ultra textures, I'm sure they can do it.

Agreed. I played it at Ultra settings on PC (though I had a 1080P monitor at the time), but this is something else.

Okay so to end this struggle:

I restarted the device control and used the "Guide Me" option and the TV worked but the AV receiver did not. Bummer.

So I try lots of different things before calling Microsoft help. As I'm on the phone I notice I can enter in the model number. Yep, that fixed it.

So yeah, enter in the mode number if you know it and can.

No IR cable needed so that was a waste of $7.

Got mine last night. Early christmas present from my girlfriend cause we didnt want to drag our presents when flying to my folks...anyway....

What a glorious machine. Havnt honestly followed a lot of details but booting it up and see a selection of the digital games ive owned (44 total) was incredible.

I knew about the Gears 3 remaster so I booted that up and i was beautiful. Same with Ninja Gaiden black. I have PS4 only this gen so coming back to Xbox has brought up a lot of old gaming memories.

Game pass is awesome. I have Gears 4 and Halo 5 ready to get when I get back and I can see a lot of other classics Id lik to play.

In terms of what the box itself does, this is the impressed I have been by a console. If they can get the games on next year, this thing will be a winner.

If you didn't already play it on PS4, I highly recommend picking up Rise of the Tomb Raider 20th Anniversary edition on sale for $20 right now. Other big games like Final Fantasy XV or Forza Horizon 3 (soon to be enhanced) I'd say "If it's your thing" but I feel Rise of the Tomb Raider has a universal appeal and it's insanely polished and perfectly balanced. Cannot be missed.

Has anyone else's X (Scorpio) been dropping WiFi multiple times a day? Launch Xbox one never did, and none of the other devices I own drop either. I don't even know how to troubleshoot it. Selecting "Go Offline" And then "Go Online" from the Network tab let's it connect again, bu it sucks when I'm doing a NFS race and get the "youve lost connection" error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, I was experiencing exactly this, but it doesn't seem to happen anymore. I honestly don't know what the solution is. Wish I could be of more help. It just kinda fixed itself, I guess. I did stop using instant on a week or so ago, but I'm not convinced that's what made things better.

I was dropping a wired connection the last week or so, but I chalked that up to Comcast. I'm running on Verizon WiFi now and haven't had any issues. Yet.

I'll be buying the One X in the new year because of PUBG and Cuphead. I really hope we see more commitments from MS in 2018.

The wifi had some issues. Wich the base Xbox One didnt had.
But that got fixed after some preview updates. Wich got adressed also in the patch notes. I had problems wich i never had before and after the patches it was oke.
Maybe the people who still have problems didnt get those patches yet?

Got one of these reserved to pick up Boxing Day as a Christmas gift to myself. Already own a first run Xbox One, but since getting a 4K TV last year its time to get a machine to match it.

I'm going to rebuy Witcher 3 (already own on PS4) as I hear that's the biggest showcase. Any other must-haves?

Wildlands looks lovely on the X, though the game is weaker as a single player experience. Assassins Creed:Oranges is great looking too, though I've not put a ton of time into it.

Origins is the only assassins game I played through and loved. Definitely get it

Looks damn good too

Would I be right to think that all existing current-generation games, even those released before the X that used to run with slightly better performance/resolution on the PS4, will now run at their best on the X even unpatched?

I've only had a PS4 until now and would like to know if I can swap to using my X for everything (except the Sony exclusives obviously), even older games.

It depends whether the XBO games are locked to a maximum 900p resolution. Many are, which means that they fail to live up to the PS4 version even when the additional power. But games like Doom for example, with no 900p limit, are improved on X over PS4 (or Pro) with better framerate stability and texture filtering.

The month of Game Pass that comes with the X... is that just for new members? Like a trial? Or is it literally just a free month? I basically wanna know if I can do my £1 first month and then use that code from the console, effectively getting two months for £1.

I had the same problem with the controller that came with my X. Luckily I already had an Elite controller, and that has worked with no problems. I've been meaning to call MS about it, actually...

Ask for a replacement, seems broken. Had the same once.

Will it sync using a USB cable? I had to use USB to do the initial sync of my pro controller

I guess I'll contact support then :/

And yes, SirVilhelm. It connects just fine when wired!

Same here, I played it at Ultra settings at 1080p on a Lightning Z 1080ti, higher framerate there and gsync is magical but I'd say that it's definitely prettier on Xbox One X seen at 4K with HDR on my Sony xe9305, I think I took like 10 screengrabs at my first sunset lol
Character closeups are nuts as well

Dear Microsoft,

It's Christmas. We all want to play Red Dead Redemption and Fallout New Vegas enhanced for the Xbox One X. It would be amazing. Please make it happen in 2018.

Just for new users, and I believe the $1 promotion as well, so whatever you choose first you won't be able to use the other.

Edit : and, if we're already subscribing, you can't have either :(

So how much heat is acceptable with this system? It seems to pipe out some pretty hot air and the system itself is always warm to the touch when it's being used.

Just got me an OLED television to compliment my X.

My god.

Glad I spent the extra for OLED.

It's an LG 55B7. Anyone here have one and have any tips for settings changes I might not see straight away?
