Have they sold out (been scalped) already? I can't seem to find them anywhere other than the official MS store but they're out of stock there.

Coming off the back of playing Halo 1 to 4 and Reach on the Master Chief collection recently on my Series X I thought I'd give Halo 5's campaign a go. What's with the game running in 60fps and then certain enemy animations running in 30fps? I never played 5 before. As a campaign how does it rank against the others? I loved replaying 1,2,3 and Reach. 4 had it's moments but the story made no sense. Currently on 5 I'm fighting Prometheans that just seem to stand in front of me without reacting whilst I blast them in the face and when they move in the distanc

What's the general consensus regarding using the supplied stand when the console is being placed vertically? I didn't read the instructions so I only thought the stand was for horizontal use.

Wow. I was wondering why my amp never displayed Dolby Atmos on it even though it supported it. I didn't even know I needed to download a separate app for the Series X. Turns out the Dolby app is free for AV amp support. Thanks.

I used this one but struggled to buy more than one off ShopTo's website as it was restricted to one per customer. I was able to by pass that by creating multiple accounts. https://www.shopto.net/en/dwnld46902-xbox-live-prepaid-12-month-gold-membership-card-p83275/

I tried to get into Connected mode and some other modes a few times last night with no joy. I even tried turning the router off and on but still nothing. The servers are a joke and it makes me sad. I'd be up for some Connected games on an evening. My gamer tag is Onze.

Untitled Goose Game - Those geese can be pretty violent.

There's a Camera Zoom option in the Gameplay settings. Have a play with that so you don't have to use the Left Stick to Zoom in each time.

Quick resume doesn't seem to be working. Swapping between Gears of War 5 and Tetris Effect Connected seems to go through the full load sequence for each game everytime.

UPS has finally delivered.

I just re-opened my Microsoft Store website basket that I was receiving the payment error on this morning and it allowed me to check out. This was about 5 minutes ago.

I've just bobbed to my local Currys/PC World which was about a 5 minute drive away. I've put down a £5 deposit on the Series X. Hopefully they'll get enough stock allocation. They seem to have their stuff together regarding Covid safety. All the staff either had a mask or visor on and I was all masked up so it all felt pretty safe. I was in and out within 5 minutes.

Just tried Brave now and it's still a no go.

That's a BIG if. I've had it in my basket on the MS website for over 1 hour and I can't check out. I spent 40 minutes on hold on my mobile for a support representative but I finally gave up.

So I let my Xbox Game Pass Ultimate expire a couple of days ago. I did the Xbox Live Gold 12 month upgrade to Ultimate for £1 last year at some point. Just to confirm that the 1 to 1 ratio upgrade from Gold to Ultimate is still available. I bought 2 x 12 Month Xbox Live Gold Subscriptions from ShopTo today for £39.85 a piece and redeemed each Gold subscription. When I redeemed the first 12 month Gold sub I turned on Auto Renew to gain 1 month extra. I then turned off the auto renew and redeemed the second 12 month Gold sub and once again turned on Auto Renew to gain ano
