The CX is largely panned from what I understand. People were buying used b/c8/9 as there was banding issues on the CX.

The B8 I have doesn't do 120hz at 4K which I'm fine with, but felt it was worth mentioning as a cheaper option than a c1.

I buy a new tv every 10 years so I'm not the best person to ask I guess. My old Bravia died a few yrs ago and the jump to the B8 was incredible.

The CX is still considered the best option, right before the C1, at this time. Every issue has now been solved with firmware updates, it's a fantastic gaming tv according to HDTV-test and highly recommended by him.

The one/series naming convention is as bad as the Wii/Wii U and the only reason I know the difference is that enough people actually give a poo poo about the series X, but I still call the Xbox one X on accident 95% of the time.

Really videos games failed at naming their consoles when they stopped using words like "super and mega" in the new one. Super Xbox would have been a good name. Or naming consoles after predators. Xbox Tigers would have also been good. Or Jeffrey Epxbox.

If MS hired me I would have called it Xbox Load Blast. it's a very powerful name that implies lightning fast SSD load times, but also very subtlety makes you think about cumming which is a thing almost everyone secretly enjoys.

Really enjoying Forza Horizon 5, turns out my wife loves it.

She’s cruising around, doing a bunch of the open world item collecting and box-ticking activities, I do occasional races that she’s got no interest in, and play spotter when she’s hunting another barn find.

It’s worked out we’ve barely scratched the festival quests part of the game, but will have mapped out the entire world by tomorrow morning, and knocked off some of the “top 2%” achievements, just from my wife tooling around drifting into poo poo and ticking boxes.

Finally her intense, competitive, completionist approach is focused on the important stuff.

I have a CX and I can confirm that it is an absolutely wonderful TV for both 4k movies and for gaming.

Xbox Museum spirals me into an existential crisis by showing me how much of my life has been spent on Xbox, let alone other gaming.

Rainbow Six Vegas is the crowning achievement in my life, apparently.

Every demon wants his pound of flesh
Was trying to log in to the Xbox Museum site on my Series X. Wouldn't let me, got some error message, then another telling me I didn't have enough "memory" to log in!

Then I deleted all local app cache. Foolishly, instead of typing the address in manually this time, I BINGED "xbox museum", and none of the results were for the site itself. Bing is truly the Devil's work.

Edit: Heh, first console I played was "Xbox Series" with a picture of a 360 there. Hilarious.

Is that their ploy to get you to use Bing more, give you poo poo results until you run out of keywords to try, then just use Google? Like Bing is sometimes insultingly bad.

Well that's frustrating.

I've been playing Dicey dungeons on the PC quite a bit. Done about 20 of the episodes. I thought I would try it on the Xbox. It did the synching thing and had no save game so I assumed it was not a cross play title. Turns out it is and it erased my save on my PC as well. All that progress lost.

What’s the best gaming tv that people are always talking about? I know it’s an LG but there’s a bunch with similar names and I don’t want to buy the wrong one, but the idea of reading about TVs repulses me.

Any B- or C-series OLED is Pretty Good and Great, respectively. Reviewers love them both. The G-series is even better, but even more expensive. The second digit is just the year designation, with "X" taking the place of years that end in 0 (e.g. the LG CX was their 2020 model, while the C1 is the 2021 model, and the C9 was the 2019 model.)

The first game played on my Xbox 360 was GTA IV and the first game played on my Xbox Series X was Burnout Paradise Remastered and my most played game is Metal Gear Solid V. This is fascinating information and I enjoyed sharing it with you.

My first achievement overall is called "Spectacular Start" apparently. Wish the museum would let you dig more info up cause what the hell game is that, I can't figure it out. I got a 360 in november of 2005 so there weren't a lot of games, or is that an error placeholder

This Xbox museum thing is either operating off some funky data or its deliberately trolling me.

It is doing things like 'Most played game' - showing a picture of Halo 3, (accurate) with the title 'Call of Duty Black Ops 2' (never played it?)

My first console has a picture of a OG 360, with the title 'Xbox Series' - I don't own anything newer than a Xbone.

Similarly, my first online game was Destiny apparently. Despite me owning the console for 5 years and playing hundreds of online games before!

My rarest achievement is 'Welcome to Los Santos' from GTA5, which im sure you get by simply starting the game. I guess not many people must have played that game.

I wish I could tell this thing I got an original Xbox in 2003 but couldn't connect it to Xbox Live.

Does it only count Gold as your first time connecting to Xbox Live? Because I got a 360 sometime in 2008 but it says I first connected it to Xbox Live in 2009, and I'm pretty sure I had connected it to the free Live as soon as I got it.

It said I first logged in to Xbox Live in 2008, but I didn't get a 360 until 2009. It says my first 360 game was Fallout 3, but I played that on PC. It was the Games for Windows Live version, so I guess that counts as logging into Xbox Live?
