Xbox Series S for 299!

[eXPHorizon]

The S can’t do 4K natively, so I’d say that’s more for people with 1080p televisions who don’t want to upgrade yet. If you have a 4K tv, you’ll definitely have a better viewing experience with the Series X.

Yup, I'm one of those non-4K people ;P

Me too at the moment. I think I see a 75” Samsung 4K TV coming my way this Black Friday though.

Good choice of TV ! The Samsung 4k 120hz Screens are AMAZING ! I honestly couldn't tell the difference between the QLED & OLED Side by side.. Maybe because im half blind or Samsung just rules the market . And the OLED ones really got some serious Burnin Problems :S :S

Otherwise for which model are you aiming at?

I was thinking about this one: SAMSUNG 75-inch Class QLED Q70T Series - 4K UHD Dual LED Quantum HDR Smart TV with Alexa Built-in (QN75Q70TAFXZA, 2020 Model) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0849QPL5B/

It seems to have everything I want, and I like the idea of a 240fps mode as a bit of a future proof option. I’m open to better suggestions if you have any.

I’m also open to suggestions about ambient light products. There’s quite a few of them that vary a lot in price. I just need to light up a little area as my TV cabinet is in a recessed wall niche but would like it to change colors accurately and well.

I not such a big console gamer, still using my PS3 at home from time to time. Overall I prefer playing on a PC instead of a console. But if I would be buying a new console this year it would definitely be an XBox. The new PlayStation is just too expensive and they are ripping of people with new games. The pricing of the new PS5 games is crazy, European have to pay more than USA and Asien players. This is not fair and we should all Boykott the new PS5.

Got my Series X tracking #.  Won't be long now. 

I think I've decided to go with a SAMSUNG 75-inch Class QLED Q80T television.  I have room for an 85" but I'm worried that might be too big and blind me.  However, I do like the idea of having a little space with a 75" so that I can also add a Philips Sync Box for an ambient lighting experience.  Anyone got any experience with this, or have any opinion on a 75" vs 85" screen?

It is certainly good news for Xbox fans and I hope that this Trend will spread a general lowering of price all over the world, however despite the technical characteristics I continue to prefer the Gaming PC with which obviously can also be done other things  than playing ,and can be assembled more or less with a low price

A big number of users who play on PC do it with a Xbox controller, I'm one of them, and I'm not really interested in buying a console because my Alienware can run any game that i can run in a XBox with a decent quality.

But a new console for $299 is a fair deal, this was more like a personal challenge to PlayStation and his $600 dollars new console.

Can't wait for payday so I can order this. The price is phenomenal.

I feel you.  I've been playing a lot of games on my PC while I was waiting for my Series X.  I will say this though, the Series X is better than my gaming PC and still quite a bit cheaper.  I'm back to playing on the console again and think at least for the next year or so, the console is back on top of the gaming experience.

I just take a look at the spects, and looks like really interesting information to share here, because i wasn't even aware the Ram DDR6 was already a thing:

Graphics - 4 TFLOPS, 20 CUs @ 1.565 GHz Custom RDNA 2 GPU
Memory - 10 GB GDDR6
Memory Bandwidth - 8 GB @ 224 GB/s, 2GB @ 56 GB/s

You are right, this piece of hardware is really powerful. Maybe we should use them for mining! hahaha, just joking. Now i'm thinking about get one too.
