Why does Ganker refuse to talk about this adorable little homie? I have one and it's honestly the best money I've ever spent in a long time.

I would buy it but I hate gamepass. There are only a handful of games on there that I'd like to play and buying all of them is cheaper than paying for gamepass until I finish all of them.
But I can see why people would be drawn to this. Does it do atleast 1080p 60fps for all games?
900p/30
Lies
You tell me one game that's 900p 30
Not Control or Shadow of the tomb raider 900p but they are super fricking lazy ports. Something happened between M$ and remedy after QB
I thought Control ran at 60 fps. don't know about resolution. Is that right?
It does 900p 60fps but it still isn’t great compared to other enhanced games some boost mode games like alien isolation look better (1080p 60fps)
no disc drive and can't be hacked. so you're forced to use xbox digital store/gamepass.
i'm sure it's decent device, but i don't really want to do either of those
not really much to talk about. i own it though and its the comfiest $300 ive spent. I got it so that I could play console exclusives on Gamepass and Backplat 360 games that I missed out on in my youth.
A buddy of mine said you can pay for dev mode (read on Ganker that theres a way to circumvent paying for it but im not sure) and that way you can boot up some emulators on that.
I was torn between a ps4 for the exclusives or a Series S for a comfy, future proof experience. Guess I'm an xbot at heart. Had the OG Xbox, a 360, and now this.
>A buddy of mine said you can pay for dev mode (read on Ganker that theres a way to circumvent paying for it but im not sure) and that way you can boot up some emulators on that.
yea as far as i know you can pay for the dev license and run retroarch or something. but 300 is pretty steep for emulator box imo.
You don't need to pay for a dev license, you can get added to the retail whitelist. It's free, you don't have to reboot to play emulators, and it saves disk space.
Though I agree it's a bit steep for a pure emulator box, it does add a lot of value for what is otherwise a regular games console.
How do you do that?

Ty based bro
your a fricking idiot, no way would MS use a Google form
It's not MS, dumbass.
if it would let me use it as a pc, i'd get one
but it doesn't, so i won't
classic case of good hardware/bad software
It can literally only fit like 3 games on there. I already got a midrange pc from 2016 if I want to play old games
Yeah I like mine too playing wrc10 can’t wait to hear some info on the Forza Motorsport reboot 7 was shit
I'm just annoyed that it's the biggest missed opportunity ever. A true X 'box', I would have got one.
We have pcs, snoys are the problematic ones
pajeets shit out hourly marketing threads for xbox and goypass every day. what are you talking about
I really like mine, first MS console. I haven't payed for gamepass in a couple of months because I;v;e been really tied up at work and playing Switch games. Will get back to it once I finish dread, death stranding, SSHD and Outer Wilds.
Feels great to finally be an idort.
yeah yeah mr shill, but can it run koikatsu and meiou & taxes?
great for emulating but wouldn’t really recommend for just playing new games
I bought one as a desk companion for when I'm slacking off on my home job. Quick Resume is a godsend.
The only thing I'd want this for is to play my old 360 games in 4K, but as it has no disk drive I can't do that as easily and have to buy the games all over again.
>play my old 360 games in 4K
it doesn't even do that
oh right I forgot, it maxes out at 1440p. that sucks.
360 games aren't enhanced at all, it's still a cool 720p for those. Some are even worse, like Ninja Gaiden II is more like 600p.
really? guess the only different was the higher frame rates then. seems 360 emulation is the only way forward.
This isn't entirely true. There is a level of upscaling for anything running through the 360 emulator on the Series, but it's a 2x scale in either direction with a 1080p minimum.
I know that's true for Xbox games (as it was on the Xbone) but I haven't seen it for 360 games. Do you have a source?
df's review of the series talks about it
?t=1189
Cheers thank you
no problem anon, theres still a lotta good games chained to the 360 but anything that actually is back compat is way better on the new xboxes compared to the original hardware
Ninja gaiden 2 is actually 1170p on series s ninja gaiden black is 1440p most bc games are either 1440p or whatever resolution they had on the 360 lost odyssey for example is 720p
>no disc drive
full moron
I'd rather get a PS5.
Ewww who wants that giant router
What makes consoles shit is that you have to pay to play online on top of the game price.
If you know what you're doing you can get xbox live + game pass for about $30 a year
Not really all the best online games are f2p Warzone,Apex,Rocket league etc you don’t need to have gold/ps+ there is no reason to pay anymore unless you like playing COD 6v6 which is dead af
>no disc drive
>here's your 360 games at 14.99 instead of 1.99+ used
>here's your xbox one games at 39.99 instead of 4.99+ used
>here's your series s games at 59.99 instead of 39.99 used
you can still get games cheap from 3rd party key resellers e.g. cdkeys. it was a popular thing even with last gen consoles which had disk drives. a lot of the time you could just get really cheap digital codes.
depends heavily on the game
Yes....master sir Phil. I will buy the games pass is the best deal in gaming...... for my first 3 motns is only 1 rupee
If it had a disc drive I'd have already bought it even just to play backwards compatible games at higher resolutions.
it doesn't do that tho
series s does not enhance 360 games. it's funny how bad pajeetsoft shills tricked people
It does, it just doesn't offer the one x enhancements. It's a 2x scale up with 16xAF, and framerates aren't really a problem anymore.
Yes it does, stfu moron
This you?
why are pajeets so fricking ugly?
Street shitting/Uncharted is terrible for your skin.
It's very good for most casual gamers, and it's one of the easiest ways to get into the Game Pass ecosystem if you don't have particularly great internet
If you are digital only its dope sure. But I still have a lot of physical versions of games I like to play, so Im more interested in the Series X, plus it seems like a proper console compared to S
Have fun though bro
i have a pc
why does every xbox thread now eventually devolves into discussions about pajeets?
If you don’t know why you are probably the reason why
mindbroken snoys think xbox users dont exist
Got one but I just ended up playing on my PC most of the time
512GB SSD console with no disk drive is moronic
I got one a couple of days ago to use solely for emulation and it's great. I've been replaying all the PS2 games I had as a kid and most of them run really well even at higher resolutions, except for Chamber of Secrets which performs terribly for no apparent reason.
