You can. But you cant if you set the tv to 1440p/120

Like one goon said earlier, the new controller is quite clicky. I hope it wears in and isn't so noticeable after a while.

OutRun 2 isn't backwards compatible and probably never will be because Sega let the car licenses lapse and removed the later 360 game from sale years ago. Which is a bummer!

Hitman with quick resume is a must have so those took up like 200G, and Forza is like 100G with all the DLC. otherwise nothing huge for me so far. I don't care for CoD so that automatically gives me some wiggle room.

Ok I am seeing comparison videos of original Xbox and 360 games running on the Series X and is it dumb that the most impressive thing to me so far is that they managed to make old games look so good

Like I have never in my life bought an xbox but I really like that this could be an emulation box for every 3d console game.

I am thinking of getting one and literally just playing whatever is on gamepass and nothing else

PC gaming is just not an option. I can't sit at a desk anymore after work, and I tried a beast living room PC and it was more trouble than it was worth in my limited playing time, usually less than one hour per day for three days a week. I know of goons are flabbergasted by this, no need for barons cyber whatever to chime in again.

Im biased, but this is basically why I own a Series X and why when I moved to japan I got rid of my PS4 but kept my One X. Game pass and its backwards compatibility is just really really good

I haven't played an EA sports game in years. Of the stuff available on Game Pass, is the latest Madden or NHL pretty good? All I care about is create-a-player career mode and whatever mode lets you play a regular season, so that card stuff and multiplayer doesn't matter.

That mode basically no longer gets updates. If you haven't played in years any one will do, but basically every single aspect of the sports yearly updates is Ultimate Team

Maybe I will finally have an excuse to play the FF13 sequels. Those aren't on gamepass oddly enough even though FF15 and FF9 are (the ones more likely for people to actually want to pay money for)

Also like that they are giving free upgrades to older games to basically make them a full Series X game, last gen this is something they'd sell as another full price release

Remember though that you can plug in any old USB hard drive or SSD and use it for all the games that are not specifically Series X/S enhanced (and it works as cold storage for games that are).

Got my Series X yesterday and set everything up. Fantastic job on packaging by Microsoft. It hates my receiver and refuses to output 4k@120hz so I'm going to go straight to the TV and use ARC I guess. Quick Resume didn't seem to work on a few games I looked at, particularly some BC games. The interface is OK, seems the same as the Xbox One UI from what I recall of the last update. New controller is fine if a bit clicky, especially the dpad. I think the middle buttons are clustered a bit close for my taste but I'll get used to it.

Tried to grab AC Valhalla but the store kept crashing to home screen, updated that then it was fine. Played a few Gamepass titles while waiting and it seems...fine I guess? I didn't notice an amazing difference or anything. Ori looked better and the framerate was good. Forza 3 was still beautiful but it was before too. Console itself is quiet and chunky, barely fit into my stand horizontally. Big improvement in loading times for several games, that was really the standout.

I don't know, I guess I'm adequately whelmed. It's a shame Microsoft launched this thing without any software because it makes it feel like a mid-cycle refresh instead of a launch. I think this is also due to the UI being pretty much the same, for a company that redid the Xbox One UI 5 times last gen I'm kinda surprised they went with the same ol' here. You can customize it a bit more than before but still has annoying unremovable sections on the home screen.
