Hey guys this is probably going to sound like a very stupid question but what is the difference between just logging into my X and redownloading everything and doing the system transfer?

(1) Time to download is likely longer than System Transfer; and (2) Bandwidth Costs from your internet provider if applicable

I have a 4K Asus Predator monitor but it doesn't have HDR, still worth getting an X? Is HDR really make the game look that much better?

Its the cherry on top. But X is great on 4K only also. Hell even in a 1080p its awesome and every game gets downsampled by the system. So no fingers crossed needed a dev supports it.

ok I am currently testing my scorpio edition dear god so far its dead silent !!. but then againi its normal because I didn't play any game yet. is there a way I can play a game to test the heat / noise from the console without downloading a friggin 100Gig game ? at this rate I wont play today at all.

I got mine last night (scorpio edition).
The dot gradient is not obnoxious, it is pretty nice and subtle.
Played some Killer Instinct, and it looks nice!
Actually the gradient dots are amazinig. makes the console feels different. I am so glad I picked this over the black edition

also. I do love the boot up it makes. is it scorpio exclusive ?

Can someone confirm that Xbox X has two usb ports on the back? The S does, so I'm expecting the same. I have two usb drives and would prefer not to use a hub.

The HDMI problems on systems always make me nervous. Going to gently insert it into the slot and make sure there is no horizontal or vertical pressure on the cable.

Just ease it in.

The HDMI that comes with the console was fine and snapped in without any problem. the power cable is the one that didn't want to go in for some reason had to use some force I was fearing I would break it lol

Hope everyone is enjoying their X's. No doubt about it, I need a 4tb hdd.

Recommend me a good one. How big of a deal is rotational speed? Seagate Xbox branded hdd is 5400rpm, is that good enough? Will I see a huge difference compared to 7200rpm? Thanks!

When i get an X, how do I plug my kinect in to it? I figure they took the Kinect port off?
No point in losing my voice control capability.

My favorite thing about the console design is how the have the power brick inside of the console. Swapping out my bulky XBO felt so good.

I've only played Forza so far. I downloaded Gears 4 to my new console, but it sends me back to the home screen when I launch it. Any suggestions to fixes? Tried restarting, didn't work.

Can someone link me to some definitive Xbox one x settings for my Samsung KS8000? Not sure what to use under bit depth..... Any help would be awesome.

I mostly play COD and Battlefield, will I see a noticeable improvement?
I did play a little BF1 , which does not even have a patch yet, and it was a very significant upgrade in performance. now it runs like a brisk. gfx were clearer too, but not like as if it was patched.
For COD ww2 you can expect full scorpio support => very significant upgrades in visual and performance aspects

my amazon order shows arriving tomorrow... anyone able to chat with them and get some $$ back? I thought this was a release day delivery?

Just called. Here's what I was able to get.

$25 to spend on my next order
1 free month of amazon prime
The supervisor also said to call back after I receive my item and they can provide an additional discount ("up to 50%") on the Xbox One X, but they can only apply it once I recieve the item. I'm skeptical about this, but I'll provide an update on Thursday.

The key when talking to representatives that work for large corporations is be friendly but assertive. Tell them what you want. My initial request was that I wanted the current order to be discounted, because I preordered the item in August and Amazon didn't fulfill their end of the bargain. He put me on hold to talk to a supervisor and then countered saying that he could offer either $25 on my next order or 1 free month. That didn't seem sufficient, so I politely requested to be transferred to his supervisor who offered (above).

Up to 50% discount for just 1 day delay on delivery date?
I would take that any day!

I know this is probably a dumb question, but does the X supersample 4K video as well? And if it doesn't, would supersampling video content make any difference?

My Scorpio edition is sitting at my house waiting for me to get off work.

My wife sent me a video of the box. I suddenly feel like I need fake illness and go home for the day.

I'm legit sick, still at work...lol. Leaving early though. Had a temperature of 100...so may be here for like 1 more hour.

I'm such a graphics who're. I'm not even into sim racers, but I'm going to get F7.

Turn all the assists on...except for maybe the assisted steering/assisted braking, and follow the braking line (aka brake hard when it says to). You'll be fine.

Yeah, I don't want to spend money on a 4K TV with HDR but missing out on HDR kinda sucks, I feel like I wouldn't be getting the "complete" experience.

I might just hold off alltogether for now, $500 seems a lot if I don't have viewing experience I want.

My Amazon UK order just dispatched with Royal Mail.

Due tomorrow.

Better late then never but I'm never pre ordering a hardware product from Amazon ever again.

Complete shit show with no communication and awful customer service.

Just grabbed my regular edition @ Best Buy. They had about thirty or so preorders sitting behind the counter. Only a couple of them were of the Scorpio variety.

I had a Scorpio preordered at Amazon, but they couldn't guarantee me release date, so I went with Best Buy. Bummer. But at least I got one. Excited to hook it up once my daughter goes down for her nap. The happy coincidence of election day and Xbox One X release day got me a day off.
