I had no issues trading my PS4 at Game.
The sales assistant advised me that I was better off with the PS4 but didn’t hesitate to do the trade.
From the thread of Hot UK Deals, it really does vary a lot based on store and who you get.
Last I heard the offer had been extended so may still be in.
I’m still super happy with my Series S. Love the little thing!
I have an X and an S and I wish they brought in a feature to allow me to download and play the game on my S if the disk is inserted in my X.
My S is now gamepass only and whilst it’s brilliant for it I’m playing AC Valhalla and Mass Effect and it’s annoying not being able to just play them on the S (both disk rented from boomerang).
Expansion SSD on sale at Amazon for anyone interested.
What I’d really love is a 2TB base console…
There was one year between Xbox one 500GB and 1TB release dates, but I have no concept of how stock was back then and of course no reason to think it would be exactly the same this generation.
If it were likely that there’d be a slightly updated Series X in November I would definitely wait. But I don’t know if that’s likely and if I’d just end up cheating myself out of my One S’ trade in value…
Given the price of SSDs, I think it’s going to be a good while before we get to that size of included storage, at least for base models.
The cheapest I could find with a quick scan was £300 for a 2TB PCIE4 NVME from a no name brand.
There could obviously be more premium console versions, but given the component cost is more than a whole Series S, the price isn’t going to be pretty.
Yeah I’m sure you’re right tbh.
A shame that that Seagate is still the only NVMe expansion card/drive. Just checked and it was def mentioned that it wouldn’t be the only supplier forever around launch time.
As at least some more options there might help a little.
Each to their own but I genuinely love my S.
Guess I’m not hardcore but the visuals are amazing to my eyes. I love the small size and the total silence. Fast load times and instant switching are what really make it feel like an upgrade to me over the last gen.
Only real compromise for me is the relatively small storage but for the money I’m so impressed by it.
Be good to know how you get on. Set up using the Xbox app was pretty streamlined compared to most TV devices.
On the storage: more is definitely more, but I’ve got Resi 7, Forza 4, Flight Sim, Streets of Rage 4, both Oris and Mega Man 7 installed with no issues.
And the storage you lose to enable fast switching is definitely worth it.
The size really is fantastic, makes it feel much more like an old school console than the behemoths we’re now used to.
I feel like Sony got it right with their support of M.2 NVME SSDs. They’re expensive right now but over time they should come down.
I’m not sure that Seagate have any incentive to reduce the cost of their expansion.
Microsoft will be bringing these games to you via xcloud so you will have a way to play. Granted the newer box will be the better solution though.
Hadn’t actually done it yet, and had seen re UK release too, but thanks for flagging!
Am still very tempted - currently thinking I might make it a birthday gift to myself come early October 
The port-less iPhone is still one rumour I struggle to give a lot of credit to. We’ve been seeing it for what must be coming up on five years? But as far as I’m aware, it’s never got to the level of WSB or Ming-Chi Kuo saying actually happening, as opposed to being worked on.
I’m sure it will one day but I would be crazy surprised if this year, and still fairly shocked if before 2023?
There are a few good ones, including the Razer Kishi, quickly reviewed here:
Picked up some real bargains on the Icelandic Xbox store. Have to say that being digital only really hasn’t been an issue so far on the S.
Both. So when there’s a sale they’re great value.
E.g. Red Dead 2 for £13.
I have used VPN for things like this in the past.
You can just change the region on any page in the store using the link down the bottom left of the page. No VPN required.
Even easier than I thought. Cheers
If anyone is after the SSD expansion, this is scorching hot.
Bit miffed not to see anymore Halo! Especially after the lack of launch co-op announcement.
Here’s hoping for tomorrow’s show 
Well!!!
I guess I got my fucking wish.
Even managed to pre-order the limited edition Halo Series X! Xbox Series X Halo Infinite Limited Edition bundle | Xbox
Haven’t really tried to get an X yet but was going to start getting serious in a couple of weeks, so this is just brilliant for me.
