Any HDD recommendations?
I tried out three (WD Elements 2TB, Seagate STDR4000200 Backup Plus Portable and an old one form Toshiba) and they are all causing stuttering during the intro cutscenes in AC Origins and COD WWII) :-(

Wait ???? When did this happen.I'm no longer in the beta but watching the 4k blu rays on the 1S didn't show washed out blacks

Nor me. I have got a UHD Premium set though.
That was never recorded as an issue from AV websites either, only the colour reproduction being incorrect due to an RGB conversion that occurred

Question! I noticed the YCC 4:2:2 option on the X. Should this be checked for best IQ on my TCL P? If this isn't checked off will the X output in RGB? I believe the PS4 Pro can output 2160p 12-bit (HDR) YUV422 (17.82Gbps), which is ideal.

Does anyone have a LG B6 OLED hooked up to the X? I can't get it to check off the 50hz option under advanced video settings. Everything else is checked off fine.

Anyone else have an extremely loud disc drive when installing games? Playing 4k blurays makes zero noise but as soon as i pop in a game it starts vibrating.

If you're not in a PAL region I wouldn't sweat it. Which, even then, it doesn't it matters much these days. HD/UHD doesn't adhere to that old standard.

EDIT
The only time that setting will matter is with PAL DVDs. Does anyone even watch those antiquated DVD discs anymore? ;-)

The TV doesn't support 50hz in non PAL regions. Do you have a PAL/SECAM dvd you need to play or some pirate station still broadcasting in 50hz? If not, you're good. :)

Tomorrow a store in my country is having a 22% discount on all catalog (at least they say so...). I already have a Ps4 Pro and a gaming PC but for <399€ I'm willing to buy the One X.

The controller wont make you a pro, but it can definitely give you the edge in an otherwise evenly-matched fight. My tips:

1. If you dont already play Bumper Jumper, force yourself to use it. Finish the campaign using Bump Jump and you'll be used to it. Assign left shoulder to jump, right shoulder to grenade, LT to aim, RT to fire.

2. Only use two paddles at first (or permanently even). Four paddles is great and all but you can get 90% of the benefit from two. Assuming the above control setup, use your paddles for sprint and 'thrust dash' or whatever it is called.

With this bumper jumper + two paddles setup, you will literally only ever have to take your thumb off the right stick to switch weapons, and switching weapons is a time when you typically arent needing to aim. This will allow you to run/sprint/jump/thrust all at once while still aiming with your right thumb, meaning you can out maneuver/outgun someone in a 1v1 much easier if they arent using an Elite. It can DEFI ITELY make the difference in an encounter.

Thanks man. And bumper jumper is a profile in the app? I'm gonna take a look later on. Will this be good for Battlefield 1 and Battlefront 2 too?

I see that destiny is getting 4k HDR, but where is 1080p/60fps? I wish this was possible.
It's probably thier engine or some ....other reasons....that could be speculated because more and more games are starting to give the option like gears 4.... personally I prefer 4k ultra over 60fps like gears 4, but I agree that fps need to be 60fps like halo and doom, COD,battlefront etc, most are true 4k and 60fps or 1080 and 60fps with other improvements

In terms of an external HDD, is it worth me getting a SSHD in an enclosure? Would that be a big improvement over just a standard external HDD? I've got a SSHD installed in my Pro.

It's tough to say really ... I have an SSD hooked up to my X and to be honest, there really isn't a night and day difference between either my external 7200 or the internal 5400 drive

No, only use it if necessary. It's converted from the RGB output anyway.

I saw that you can let the Xbox upload every screenhot you make to your Xbox profile and the website, is that also somehow possible with OneDrive? I don't want to post every screenshot I make, that's odd, since I don't know if everyone even looks good, but OneDrive would be nice.

Isn't this one of their "premiere" stores? Would make sense they get a ton of extra stock. I know the stores near me are out or almost out since launch.
I don't know. Picture is from reddit.
24 consoles up for grab to be exact.
But that is not even close to Black Friday / Holiday season pallet madness

If by GameStop you mean Microsoft Store you are correct.
Hmm i wasn't certain. Thanks for that.
The Shadow of War Bundle is exclusive to Gamestop and MS Stores. I went with GS

I'm 100% digital for games on the X but my drive is definitely not a "zero noise" drive, tbh I think it's too noisy to be used as a 4K bluray drive. Thinking about getting a dedicated one instead. Haven't tried using it in combination with the projector though (since it's only 1080p), it might "fix" the problem I guess, by being even noisier :P

It is definately a Microsoft Store, we have a similar situation 50+ no money down preorders on the Scorpio but no one picked them up, with the demand we've been getting while they were on reserve hold I don't expect them to last the weekend.

Ok, I might just get a 7200. I just feel like games in general are taking a bit longer to load on my X (internal) than my Pro (with SSHD) , but then I'm not comparing the same games so it's not a scientific analysis, just a hunch!

I have had multiple issues with ROTR. It started with my, apparently, too small 30GB DL (or maybe it's the full DL? Who knows.)and then continued immediately following the first London cutscene transitioning into Syria cutscene. I just got a bright white screen. I could pause it and see menus, but that was it. I reinstalled AND deleted my save, and that fixed it. But I had to delete my save and start over to get past the white screen of death.

Sounds to me like scalpers backed off and they will be sold to consumers who actually want them. That's good.

Keep in mind the file sizes of the games ... I'm pretty sure the X has a lot more data to deal with than the PS4 .... that's the price of those 4K assets I guess

Nothing bad would happen if I turn it off and then turn it back on? This green Xbox One screen has been looping forever

i'm at 78%...i really don't want to have to stat all over...

edit: so apparently i forgot that i had eventually gone back and beaten this sometime last year...was able to get in to an alternate save (by pressing RT+LT on my save) and played to the end again...oops...

Anyone know a solution for moving/copying games from internal/external constantly stopping?
Im trying to move Horizon 3 and Halo wars 2 into my internal but it constantly stops.
Tried copying it instead and it still stops.
