Nah, Xbone pro would be the same ram and a slight clock speed bump. This is a new console that's backward compatible with the old console.

Video Games can we not start off this thread with blatant lies on the first page?

Playstation install times always take forever for me since download speeds tend to cap out as 30mbp/s, whereas xbox downloads rarely drop below 140mbp/s and even gets up to 300 on a good day. I have never been able to find out why this is the case as sony says it's my isp throttling my bandwidth, and my isp says it's sony doing the throttling. Kinda annoying since review copies are all sent via download codes these days, the last physical review disc I ever got was Just cause 3 and that still took a good 40 minutes of installing to get off tutorial island.

It's likely Rackspace throttles PSN downloads.

People have been able to significantly boost them by running their PC as a proxy for the connection.

Re: This doritos xbone auction thing. Not that I want to do it, but how does it work? How many "bids" do you get per bag? Because I'm looking at this auction for an xbonx plus 12 months of game pass, and the high bid is 32,000. I know this person didn't buy 32,000 bags of doritos.

Edit: I dug further into the site. 9.75 oz bags of doritos give 200 points. In order to get 30,000 points, I would need to buy 150 bags of doritos. According to Walmart.com, the instore price for a bag of doritos is $2.98. So I would have to spend 447 dollars on Doritos to bid for an xbonx. No thanks.

The roulette bags he bought gave a 2x-5x multiplier.

That's why he drove an hour, to find one with specifically a lot of those kind.

Eventually you're supposed to be able to stream your Xbox one to a PC and use an Oculus Rift to play your xbox one games in a nicer VR living room.

The Xbox living room is not nearly as nice as my real one.

I haven't said a thing about how people spend their money. I waste tons of money on video games, no judgments here. We're talking about perfomance of games.

It doesn't matter, buying Steep is a stain that doesn't just go away with a refund.

Still, the video points out X1X framerates are the highest of any version on average. I think anyone saying the video declares one version over the other the winner is misrepresenting it--each has its pros and cons.

For things that actually matter, MHW is amazing and I'm really glad I bought it. Like a lot of people have said it takes a bit of time for it to "click", but once it does, it's such a fun game. The combat felt clunky at first but once I got used to it it's actually really rewarding. I've been sitting at work waiting to get home and play it all week--it's been a while since a game had its hooks in me like this

They're all dumb though because apparently they aren't locked at 30?

A steady 34 is less desireable than 30.

Only if it's a cheap one, or you're daisy chaining power bars.

You aren't actually supposed to plug all electronics into the wall only, especially if they have to write things to memory. It's just a shortcut for tech support so they don't have to troubleshoot a dollar store power bar with you.

This is a really good deal, you're paying a small fee monthly and still getting a good bit of a discount at the end, instead of having to drop 300+ bucks at once plus payment for online etc. and you keep the system forever. why do people here have a kneejerk reaction to anything about the xbox lol

this is really great for people who wanna get back into gaming but didn't have the 400 dollar deposit, and it has true backwards compatibility unlike the other systems which is really nice. i dont get the vitriol

True backwards compatibility means everything would work.

Hold up, iirc you dont get that upgrade until after a certain amount of time on your contract, my memory thinks it might be 18 months which would be a longish wait for an upgrade (although scarlett wont have any games the 1x cant play in that time frame so its moot i suppose

Yes, or you can buy out your overpriced Xbone and upgrade right away.

Okay, I figured it out. It depends on how you log on to the Windows store. I googled "Halo Reach Windows Store" and got a page that had reach listed as Console game pass only. I then found a link from a news story that was an identical looking page, but had pc game pass included.

Honestly the whole Microsoft Store experience is truly loving abysmal. Anytime I need to search for, install or update a game it's like pulling teeth. Forza Horizon 4 took me 2 weeks and several unsuccessful "download/delete/reset store" cycles. The fact that Microsoft is so bad at this on their own platform is baffling.

There's no obvious way to tell if you're looking at the PC or console game page from the URL or anything.

You need to scroll a bit down and it will say Available On, and either Xbox One or PC.
