Might as well get it started. Who's looking forward to it? I personally think that it could beat PS5, that is if they don't screw up. They need a basic UI, more first party titles, and focus only on gaming. They own the license to Rare games, we need to see new Conkers, Perfect Dark, Banjo Kazooie, etc. They did alright with Killer Instinct, I'll give them that, but they're sitting on a lot of games that needs remade, remastered, and sequels.
As far as I know, it's slightly more powerful than the PS5, which isn't a big deal. But what is a big deal is that it will come with more storage. XBSX will have 1TB, which I admit, is not much by today's standards. The PS5 will have 825GB, which is ridiculous. I'm guessing that the next gen games will be around 100gb or more in size on average. If that is the case, I expect the discs will be on 4k UHD blu-rays.

Bean gets to make use of his employee perks. What's the cost with the discount? If it's 50%, I think it's worth it.

I paid 20 for a used SN30 Pro wired controller with a sticky R button
Well, it got sticky after I got it. Something about slopping maple syrup on it. I chug 150oz of maple syrup a day, don't worry about it

Sadly, no... Not on the custom. I've been asking around for weeks, can't find any discounts.

I gave up on 3rd party controllers many years ago, but this could be interesting.

$220 for a controller seems unreal to me Says the guy with a logitech force feedback wheel and pedals to play racing games
When I moved out for the first time and had a tiny economy apartment by myself my first 3 REAL paychecks bought 1) xbox 360 2) a pinball machine and 3) a custom built racing chair pod from Craigslist.
So I feel you.
I sold the racing pod, the pinball machine lasted 2 more moves and I sold it.

I started on the S. Have to get the RetroArch front-end up and running.
I just want to get classic stuff, I've been jonesing for a Donkey Kong Country series playthrough.

Anyone mess with emulators on the Series S or Series X? I see you can do it from retail mode now.
If this is true then this is what I'm going to try this weekend on my Series X

I paid like $19 to enable "developer mode", i don't know if they're implying its free now.
I don't know.
I have to program it on a day that i don't get super stoned.
results to follow, its easier than the PS4 so far

FYI there's a core white BNIB Elite Series 2 controller on Amazon for $110 shipped. Thinking of picking it up at this price although I told myself I was going to wait for like ~$75 or so used/mint.

i still cant justify spending that much on a controller
I can totally see doing that for a specialty controller. I've spent that much on a good arcade stick for example.

Sweet. I want to try this but do not want to spend too much money on it so this is ideal.

Ya I heard it was kinda dull in the first few hours. Glad it got the game pass treatment.
