    I got a question. I got an Xbox One. I'm planning on buying the digital version of Forza Horizon 5 on it, since I'm able to, and have no Series X. I'm thinking about the future when I eventually get a Series X. I'll put the Series X in the living room and make it my main console, and put the One in the bedroom. I understand I can log onto the same account and play Forza on both systems, but I was wondering if they have the same save file? So if I play Forza on the Series X and get a bunch of cars., then later go in the room and fire up the One to play Forza, will I have all my cars?

    Thank you! I looked it up and got the answer to my followup question, which was Cloud saves are available even without a Xbox Live Gold subscription.

    I actually found a used Series X at Gamestop the other night. I had to ask the employee if I was seeing things. Snagged that real quick. My Christmas bonus and the small amount that I get from a mineral lease paid for most of it. Ended up only having to pay about $100 on my credit card. 20220112_205830.jpg

    Nice, you seized the opportunity! I was fortunate to get mine right out of the gate, thanks to my sisters boyfriend.

    I swear, something told me that I needed to grab the cash from my bonus and my credit card, and then stop at the local Gamestop.

    I'm playing on it for the first time now. Playing Far Cry 6. It seems to load so much faster than my One X.

    It's actually painful to go back to an One X. I'm trying to get a second S to go in my area while the X and emulator S is in the main area.

    Are there or is there a site I can use to find a XSX in my area? I'm too nervous to try to purchase online.

    My launch version of my Xbox one won't display on my TV. I tested on my dad's tv and used different HDMI cables and nothing.

    I'm either looking for a xbox one s or an XSX but I'm have some trouble hunting one or the other or both.

    EDIT: when I get Xbox one S, can I use my account I have on my first Xbox one to redownload Killer Instinct to my new Xbox one s without using the cloud or will I have to buy the game again?

    You shouldn't have to rebuy the game, it's tied to your account so you should be able to redownload it without issue

    No problem, and yea, as long as it's a backwards compatible game, I'm 99% certain that on xbox you can just redownload it on the newer systems, just like how xbox one could redownload games and dlc originally purchased on the 360

    finally got this beast this week and am in love. loading is so quick i feel like im playing carts again. most games locked at 60fps out of the gate is something ive been crying forever for. finally prioritizing framerates and control for minimal graphical loss (usually unnoticeable). love love love.

    also managed to snag it on offerup for only 570. tax in my area is close to 11% so that was only like a $20 markup.

    only thing im not a fan of is 80+gb downloads but i guess ms just wants to put game keys on cds now which is lame. all these games will be unplayabe if ms ever takes them down which is the whole point of physical media. makes me really debate why im buying anything physical for this system and not just getting ultimate and being a slave to the man.

    20220315_122305.jpg 12 Series S the most I've seen in store. Year and a half and still haven't seen X or PS5 in store, thank God I got mine during the 1st run of pre-orders.

    I was able to finally order a Used (Like New) X-Box Series X on Amazon for 300 dollars. Really shows on how good things come to those who wait. Now the only thing to do is the search for games to play on both past (Thank goodness for backwards compatibility) and current.

    Get gamepass, that will solve a good chunk of your current and past games.

    been playing this thing for about a week and a half now and I'm over the moon.

    truly feels like a next gen console, not a bandaid or a gap filler. to me that hasn't happened since ps3/360 days.

    I know there's not a handful of killer new releases out but damn the series x upgrades makes up for it. been playing through tales of arise, forza horizon 4, gears 5 and cyberpunk currently and I just feel like those are more than enough right now.

    I'm not even a halo or shooter fan but I'll probably be picking up quite a few shooters on this just because of how good gears 5 looks and plays.

    to finally have a console that has made a priority of framerate optimization is just absolutely mindblowing to me. I hope this mindset in gaming never changes. prioritize framerate & responsiveness, make graphics overkill a secondary selection if the player wants to drop frames for better visuals. absolutely in love!

    Anyone needing a Series X, Costco.com has it in stock, 1TB with second controller for $550. Saw it a few days ago and just bought one few minutes ago on the whim.

    This'll be my second Xbox system, first was the OG. There really isnt much XB exclusives I want but I do wanna try Gamepass...so we'll see if I end up keeping it.

    You could always just use gamepass without an xbox, the xbox cloud has a lot of good games on it as does the pc branch of gamepass.

    Nice, I kept checking costco a couple weeks back when I was trying to buy mine but they never got a restock.

    I got the 20th controller as my extra though and that thing is awesome so I don't feel too bad about missing the bundle.
