COD WW2 is on the list now - just as enhanced but no details

...but are waiting until launch day to promote the fact they'll have hdr, 4k, better textures etc.

Call Of Duty WWII for one has it on the box art but is missing from the list. That might be some sony related exclusivity deal to prevent saying it looks better on xbox but still, the point is the list is incomplete.

12 days to go!

COD WW2 was officially confirmed last night by Xbox. I don't know if the list has been updated yet.

Activision's deal with Playstation is prohibiting Xbox advertising that there will be enhancements released for their games on the One X. At least until the game is just about to launch or on it's launch date.

Hmmm. The Kodi devs tweeted a picture of Kodi running on an Xbox One, and then deleted it. Glad that they're making progress anyway, will be great when they're finished that.

XBMC is coming home :eek:

I'm trying to change my pre-order Scorpio Edition to just the standard One X but so far Smyths say I won't get the console on Day One if I change. I had awful trouble with the controllers of my Day One Xbox One and don't want the hassle of having to send the controller back to MS if it's faulty. My One S controller was dodgy and Smyths changed it for me straight away as it was just a regular controller, not Day One so I'd much prefer the standard console. I'm waiting to hear back from them again to see if they'll change it.

Just take the Scorpio Edition andd swap it with someone who gets a normal one?

Also the controllers are all the same they'll just have a different shell on them.

Is it €20 to pre order the Xbox one x with GameStop?

They made me put €50 down, but that was way back shortly after its announcement.

Its a €50 deposit in-store or €20 online.

Just back from GameStop - trade in value is â‚¬210 for a 500gb One S against the X.

News of XBMC and playing KOTOR in the space of a few days ... Wow, the nostalgia is strong at the moment

started downloading Ninja Gaiden Black last night before bed, the first game I ever bought digitally,

It'll probably kick my arse later but looking forward to trying it again.

Nice one! So that's 80 euro in total for the X in Gamestop for me. Going to drop in one S tomorrow and the other on Monday week.

Had a few hours on it earlier. It’s just as brilliant as I remember it.

The Scorpio Edition, and regular units, will all be identical barring the few cosmetic differences.

OmegaGene · 26-10-2017 07:17PM

Picked up doom and Tom Clancy in Argos €25 for both, might come in handy for a rainy day

Plus the vertical stand with the Scorpio

Internally, they'll be identical to non Scorpio editions. There's a misconception that Scorpio Editions will in some way be different to non Scorpio's

Is anyone having trouble signing into Xbox live and/or fifa? The brother rang me asking if I'd heard anything about it online but I don't see anything anywhere.

I haven't used either of my consoles in ages but when I tried to update the xbox after he rang, it stopped updating twice because of an error. Never seen that before so I guess there's something up.

Yeah I know, but stores won’t replace a controller that has ‘Scorpio Edition’ printed on it, same as they wouldn’t replace one that had ‘Day One’ printed on it in 2013. They replace a standard controller no bother. I’m just trying to avoid the hassle of returning controllers to MS if they break.

Ffs, here we go again with Gamestop employees. The offer is in black and white in their own bloody offer emails and website.

Someone was in a GS earlier and said it was 210 for a 500GB - that's the 140 + 50% exactly!

I put this down to poor management in the store itself as HQ send out emails
in my local the manager prints it out and puts it into a folder under the counter
so easy access for the staff to check

Gamestop are doing a midnight launch for the X in Henry St, Dublin.
