Not sure what you mean about on offer but this is the drive. I’m running standard Xbox games from it :

Back to it after Bake Off and it's not signing in here either, looks like we've hit the after delivery and after setup splurge of sign in attempts hehe

It is still installing stuff in the queue though.

Hold up, I'm in, maybe, it's on the syncing data screen for Forza

Coming from an XBox One the UI and load up times do seem quite snappy. The console is much quieter as well.

Yes it's fast, loaded Forza Horizon 4 just now and apart from everything being much sharper and shinier in 4k than my OG Xbox One, fast travel from place to place is so quick now.

Thanks for the link.

Sorry should have clarified. I remember reading about a price on an SSD. Either on PH or maybe Reddit but thinking about it might have been Prime day. Bad memory laugh

Thanks again.

Does anyone have a XB1X to compare back to back? Is it worth getting?

Considering you could get decent money for it used currently I would.

Selling my old one s for £150 locally which seems crazy money but is the going rate. Means the upgrade is only £300 to last me many more years!

CEX are when you need life saving drugs for your family and no one else in the universe will buy it. They also sell things for more than new prices.

Apart from games (and even then if you were late buying someone's birthday present and you needed it immediately) you'd have to me mostly mental to use them.


They are the Donald Trump of games shops.

Facebook marketplace is the thing for these atm. £200-250 for a one x around me.

Happy with the upgrade to the series X! Load times are much quicker and everything just looks better. Looking forward to firing Valhalla up later on.

Where's everyone selling their One X? Seen above that Facebook marketplace is good but I don't use Facebook so that's out of the question. I'm leaning towards Ebay but not sure if I can really be bothered with the hassle.

I played a lot of GoW5 on XB1X, I played the enhanced version this morning and it looks no different to my eyes.

No doubt playing side by side you'd see a difference, but I don't think 'old' enhanced games are going to look that much better.

Maybe Forza would be a better contrast between old and new games?

I've come from a One S and Forza looks stunning but I wasn't on 4k before either
