N3CR0 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I'd like to get one at launch. Depends on if I can afford it at the time. Hope so. Nowt wrong with my One right now but it is 4 years old and nothing lasts forever, would like an upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zennon Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I was hoping for £399 but yeah I will get one at launch, very excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
major masingil Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Benormus I am so tempted... 4K baby! I know I'll end up getting one. Just don't know if there will be any good games at launch to justify it right away. Zen, i haven't seen anything in the XB1X specs to see if game chat will be supported via Bluetooth like PS4. Have you seen any announcements relating to that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen any announcements relating to that? I have not heard and a google search does not find out the info. I am going to carry on use a mix amp with my latest headphones the monoprice M1060's and a modmic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well guess since they just announced the darn thing, I'll cut them some slack. Maybe someone at E3 will ask. I'm running the mixamp with the phillips fidelio x2's still. it's good stuff. I did get in on the kickstarter for the Ossic headphones I just sent a link to you about. Kinda stoked, but most likely they'll work for crap with consoles. I am encouraged the XB1X specs mention "spatial sound" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zennon Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Messaged you back. The Phillips X2's / Mixamp / Dolby combo is really great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonicBoom Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I'll be getting one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iAmMoDBoX Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 For that price it's almost impossible that it runs native 4k since not even high end graphics cards, which cost more than the whole system, can do 4k at a steady 60 fps. More than likely it's just upscaling a lower resolution to 4k. Kinda like how games now run at weird native resolutions like 900p and then are upscaled to 1080p with all kinds of fancy anti-aliasing effects to hide the nonsense.

Everyone knows it's powered by magic. Hopefully not the same magic that IW runs on where it grinds a bit when too much stuff it going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yam Yam Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I think they could have come out with a better name, the XBox X ?... I mean come on... They called this gen the XBox One, I was expecting Two then Three & also, X can be represented for the Roman numeral 10. No doubt though that it'll be a hit & already said to be more powerful than the PS4 Pro <--- another silly-ish name in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N3CR0 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 No doubt though that it'll be a hit And will probably be broken on launch. Both the last two gen consoles have had to go back the next day due to something not working. My One came with a disc drive that wouldn't read anything.

Yam Yam Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Another suggestion could be that since we have two releases of any flagship phone a year, consoles have started to take on this trend ?... but obviously not two console releases per year, maybe a little longer but shorter than 10 years like ps3/xbox. I hope not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzy clam Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I'm even tempted to get one if I get healed up,it looks cool and the specs are nice but as always the big question... Will it preform at launch without a ton of issues, this comment is not strictly speaking of XBOX,I said the same thing about Playstation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zennon Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 That's why I am keeping my One as a back up, just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColonicBoom Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 XBox One X = XBOX I hadn't even noticed that, doh. If they've got any sense they'll brand it with XIX instead of writing the words across it. This damn thing is water-cooled. Oh I'm getting one. I'm 99% sure that mine will be the 1/1000000 that springs a leak when I power up the first time. That's why I am keeping my One as a back up, just in case. I've got a stack of consoles that I can barely reach the top of, there's a Dreamcast with two light guns down there somewhere. When does the preorder start up? Don't think it's been announced yet. I've got the 'take my money now!' thing going on. XIX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legion DC Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Think I'm gonna wait 8-12months when the price drops on the XB1X before I buy. If it had strict exclusive titles I'd probably be eager to buy it in it's Nov 2017 launch in a hurry. For now, I'm sticking with my og XB1 w/Kinect which I've purchase in Nov 2013 on Black Friday. Can't forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
