    Anybody made their minds up 100% on the X?

    I'm all in, day one.

    Yep, have amazon credit ready to preorder once it goes live

    Have a PS4 and Switch for exclusives only, XBX for multiplats and MS games.

    Picking a TV is the hard decision.

    I can't but recommend, believe it or not, the Philips 6401 series. I have an LG 650v myself, and it's great, but too much in the wallet department. If I didn't I'd be going for the Philips if I imagine

    Honourable mention for Hisense too.

    Ah about bloody time, time to dust off Elite Dangerous and start spamming the Xbox Gaming thread to let people know how great it is again.

    Ark is very demanding game on PC so it's impressive to see the power of the X.

    On subject to of travel, I know Xbox one games are region free, but if I buy in the US, will any additional dlc be available to buy online when I get home? Thanks.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Yup, everything Xbox One game related is region free. There's even a thread on here for deals spotted in foreign regions, sometimes there's great deals due to currency exchange rates that you can take advantage of.

    The actual process of doing so though, isn't allowed to be discussed on boards, due to fake addresses almost always being required.

    Switzerland uses 230v so you will be fine unless you have a 110v power brick.

    Perfect, thanks. Just used to Nintendo shenanigans that I'm always a bit wary.
