Looks clean! Congratulations!

I recommend grabbing an Elite 2 controller to further enhance your gaming experience. Its worth the price for how premium it is, and its got a 30+ hour battery.

Lucky enough to have demo’d an elite 2 it’s a game changer for sure, there’s a bunch of things I like about it like adjusting the triggers and that dpad.

To be fair I pillaged the Sega Saturn on its death bed too

Bro, that PS3 super slim needs dusting.

 

[El Muerto]

My Series X gets more use than my PS5. It can do more and seems like there's more games to play on it. Do yourself a favor and get your gamepass keys from Cdkeys, eneba and gamivo are ok too. Also check out the MS rewards if you havent and earn points so you can redeem MS giftcards to buy more games or gamepass.

I still think this is a troll thread as I feel like I remember this guy having a Xbox before (if this is addressed in the thread my bad).

BUT

I actually just got an Xbox today, my buddy was selling his so I got a Series X with Elite Series 2 and the 1TB WD expansion card for $350. He's trying to save money for a trip and it was a good deal. I have a ITX PC and have been pretty vocal about most people not having any sort of need for a Xbox if they have a PC but I figure I'll still get use out of it while also helping a buddy out.

I also bought the Xenon controller for it too for when I play 360 games for the nostalgia.

That’s a deal to cheer about and I had an Alienware 15R3 and played gears that means I had an Xbox?

Don't let the haters get you down EverydayBeast

We are here for you.

I might have been thinking of someone else.

But yeah it was a great deal. I’m thinking about selling the Elite controller as I don’t want an Elite but not an Edge.

 

[phant0m]

It’s quite literally the worst time to buy an Xbox. Not just the doomed stuff, but with the rumored beefier version coming out soonish.

Don’t think we’re getting a new one.

If we get anything it will be “Series S but handheld”

Welcome to the Xbox crew.

 

[Sooner]

Cool. I was going to go pick up a Ouya and sign up for Stadia myself.

 

[El Muerto]

It has chromium edge so you can do geforce now or stream games locally from your pc. You can also do emulators with dev mode. There's also more streaming apps and apps in general. Looking at games, there has been more exclusives on the Xbox Series compared to the PS5. And there is also free backwards compatibility all the way back to the og Xbox, and if you have a series X most of those games are enhanced.

 

[Sooner]

Why not?

Same reason you don't book your next cruise on the Titanic as the water starts rushing in?

 

[LectureMaster]

'LTTP aboard a sinking ship' would have made for a better title.

 

[Cre8]

I though this is a Weekend drunk thread.

@kretos does not approve.

Bring him back!!

[James Sawyer Ford]

Will make for a nice collector's item.

 

[StereoVsn]

Retrogaming is getting pretty popular, you did OK.

I mean that’s what I mostly use my Series X for, Xbox OG and 360 games. Their BC program was top notch till they killed it off.

 

[adamsapple]

Bring him back!!

 

[hemo memo]

You did good. Enjoy.

May the Dorito pope bless you with great joy and happiness

The bot is in the wild

 

[adamsapple]

Tired of the ill will Xbox threads, especially when the game line up looks good (Indiana Jones, Gears E Day, Forza, Starfield, Halo Infinite 2 etc.) and for a little while I was on board with PlayStation but we’ll call it a non shooter console, feels like a date night console at this point everyone reaching out for Astro bot and a ps4 remaster. Yuck.

So here’s the console itself

Dust off your PS3, damn.

Shiny Xbox looking beautiful. GG.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Don’t think we’re getting a new one.

Both are rumored.

 

[RickMasters]

Ok….. Two things:



Firstly : This is the WRONG place to ask that question

Secondly: Enjoy! Can’t speak for others but I love my xbox. My friends and I have been xbox users for years and we ain’t going anywhere until MS pulls the plug. , so I guess we are just happy in our little gaming bubble.


Good selection of games. GPU is well worth it.hardware and controller are great. But yo…… this is a bad place to ask what you asked!

 

[FeralEcho]

Congratz,you bought the world's most expensive hard drive of that size!

 

[demigod]

God damn 2nd post, GAF doesn’t disappoint.

This is literally you.

They just can’t help themselves

[duck_sauce]

Buying an Xbox now and asking Gaf what it thinks about it is like the worst bait and troll attempt or simply the wish for humiliation and pain.

Tell us what it is so we can accommodate you better

His death hit me hard. Much harder than expected. I actually cried.

Same, bro. Not ashamed of it at all. He seemed like a seriously good dude.

 

[Kvally]

Ok but what does that have to do with Xbox?

That’s real nice Clark. Real nice.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Xbox series x is a great way to enjoy gamepass...would i advise anyone to buy one outside of a firewall deal...no way.

But, enjoy op. It's awesome hardware.

 

[Sooner]

Are you really asking what Xbox consoles have to do with a sinking ship?

 

[StereoVsn]

Lucky enough to have demo’d an elite 2 it’s a game changer for sure, there’s a bunch of things I like about it like adjusting the triggers and that dpad.

The biggest issue is that it’s unreliable AF. Get it somewhere where you have good return warranty.

But overall it is a great controller.

 

[Mr Moose]

I might have been thinking of someone else.

But yeah it was a great deal. I’m thinking about selling the Elite controller as I don’t want an Elite but not an Edge.

I think the mods need to downgrade EverydayBeast 's ChatGPT version, 0.1 is being generous.

This is what happens when you train your AI model on data from DenchDeckard .

Why buy a dead console ?

 

[Shaki12345]

Fantastic console. GamePass is amazing value for money and there is no console with greater backwards compatibility. It even has VRR and upgraded graphics and framerate for most of tha back catalogue. As a multiplatform gamer you'll be in for a treat.

Xbox also has a LOT more functionality in the form of app support, media servers and it has a internet browser and developer mode.

Oh, and the deals are better compared to PS if you're a GP member. You can even save money on your subscription by playing games.
