Is there any way to dim the light on the console itself? I do not know if it is because the console is black again (my S was white) or it is just brighter, but the White XBox light on the front of the console seems much brighter than before.

Yikes. For some reason my Xbox is downloading at kilobytes a second. I should be getting at least 100 Mb/s. Anyone know why?

This thread is not helping the fact that my Amazon shipment was delayed. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to feel true power with the most powerful videogame console in the world when it's not here!

So Forza 7 looks amazing as expected but one game that has blown me away with the patch... World of Tanks.. holy shit its beautiful.. crisp and feels like my PC when I run that game. Having a ton of fun playing all these games at this resolution and patch.

are you using the same hdmi port? on some of those sony tvs, i've seen people say they had to reboot the tv after turning on enhanced mode for it to start working on 4k capabale devices.

Same port, swapped cables, rebooted TV. Nothing.

S still works perfect. X isn't working at all.

Support is run by idiots. Says they can't troubleshoot the TV so I'm fucked.

My Scorpio edition is fucked.

I have a Sony 850D. The S worked perfectly in 4K HDR on it.

This won't even let me select 4K. It sees the TV as 1080p. FUCK

Using the new HDMI cable that came w/ the system?

Same thing happened to me when I bought an XB1S took me an hour to figure out it wasn't my TV or the console but the cable in my AV setup just did not play nice.

I tried the S cable and the X cable. The S works fine on BOTH. 4K HDR perfectly.

The X won't even let me check the 4K box in Advanced Video Settings.

Pretty envious of all of you rocking the OneX with a 4K tv. I'd love to get a Pro system but our 1080p tv isn't old enough to justify a replacement. Trying to hold out for decent OLED tv prices before upgrading!

Try using different hdmi cords, switching ports, checking your TV's menu and switching between settings for the input you're using, completely unplugging the television [and X, cause why not]...

You know.. fiddlin'!

[seriously, this sounds 100% fixable via fiddlin']

AC Origins looks significantly improved on my TV over a standard Xbox. Its just so damn clear. Played a few minutes of Gears 4 and that looked a lot better to. Finally I played some Forza 7 but I did not play that on the OG so I have no point of comparison there, other than that its stunning. Seems well worth it to me if you've got a 1080p set.

Wonder is there much difference with assassin's creed between a pro and an x on a 1080p TV.

I did all that. Again the S is still working perfectly. The X won't even detect 4K

Same thing has been happening to me on and off all night. Doesn't make sense since I'm on a hardwire 300mb connection. The download speed is extremely erratic, going from 5mb to 225mbs. My OG did not do that.

If it makes you feel any better, I have a gigabit connection and my speed never goes above 90mb.

Just finished setting it up and now waiting for the update to apply. I can barely tell it's on... thing is super quiet so far.


Initial reaction when taking it out of box was how neat everything was inside and how heavy this thing is. This is a very nicely built piece of tech. Coming from an OG Xbox one I was really surprised at how small it is.

It recognized my external for my restore from backup. But now it won't recognize the same damn external that has all my games on it....


Anyone else experiencing this? The light comes on the external and I can feel it moving. Tried a hard reset...

Mine was having issues; I powered it down, waited 30 seconds, then powered it up and reconnected it. Has been fine ever since.

Same here, one thing I noticed is that if a game is actively running in the background the download speed is pretty sporadic. However, if you quit the game, the downloads speeds go into turbo and the speeds are fast. Might be a bug or something, can you guys test that?

That isn't the correct stand; this one is: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075KXL7N5/?tag=era0f0-20

Can anyone with the Scorpio Edition tell me whether the included vertical stand seems to allow any airflow through that side of the console? The reason I ask is because the aforementioned stand that I ordered for the regular edition hasn't shipped yet, and I still kind of want to stand it up on its side to play it in the meantime. I'm curious as to whether just standing the console on its side blocks airflow anymore than the vertical stand in general would.

That's weird, considering the seller has Xbox one x all over the description...

I can't believe how stunning Forza looks on the X. I spent half my time crashing as I was staring at the cliffs in the back ground on the Dubai track

Just got done trying out Gears 4, lawd have mercy...it almost feels and plays like a different game. Both visual/performance mode look absolutely beautiful on a 1080p tv. I can only imagine how this looks on a 4K set.

Outstanding update, I have an Xbox one s as a back up console but after experience this thing....I can't go back. Hoping I can test out Halo and one more game before I call it a night.

The HDMI cable that came with my S was also faulty.. wouldn't work if you set HDR or if you set 7.1 audio. Changed the cable and all was good.

How does dolby atmos work on the X? The trash built in sound bar on my lg tv has dolby atmos speakers but never used the feature. Does the system or game have to support dolby to work?

Dumb question but do you have an external HDD or something plugged in? Try setting it up without any controllers, external HDD, etc plugged in and see if it updates. That was an odd issue with the OG Xbox too. Sounds dumb but I fixed a bad update that way with mine in past

I had an Xbox out for delivery from amazon at 3pm and I just got a notification saying it was delayed and set to arrive 7-9th

Christ I hope the driver just tapped out for the night and will resume in morning. I don't get how a delay hits that soon and for so long.

Nope, nothing like that.

It booted back up and the update is going through now. I might have to still return it even if it completes, just to be sure...fuck

Try ACO or Quantum Break if you haven't...both are stunning. ACO in particular feels like a totally different game that what I played on OG XB1 last night. And QB is just gorgeous

Alright, pretty good first impressions for the Xbox One X and the X1 ecosystem in general; everything went as intended but I have to reacquaint myself with the UI. It's not slow at all like people used to complainbat the old site. But it is slightly weird swapping from PSN.

The system itself is quiet except for when installing stuff. There's an ever so slightly audible whirring sound. AC Origins looks great, but it doesn't quite blow me away like Horizon Zero Dawn did. Maybe I need to get deeper in the game.

I have to study for my exam now LOL so I can't wait to continue tomorrow.

The huge difference on ACO from the S to the X. My lawd.

Played through the first part in Wolfenstein 2, so fucking great.

Also, I bought the surge on the XBL sale and it's almost 6 gb (I think). That's the correct size, right?

Seriously, anyone got any tips on how to resolve the washed out colours with 4K UHD Blu-Rays? Limited / PC RGB makes no difference. It's just blu-rays. Everything else looks great.

Yeah, you can tell that it won't fit by looking at the way it connects to the system. In the questions for the incorrect stand, someone even mentions that it doesn't fit the Xbox One X. It's a shame that Microsoft didn't just keep the stands the same between the two.
