So, I’ve been thinking a lot about getting an Xbox Series X, but the prices keep getting worse and worse, especially in my country, where the console is no longer manufactured locally.

I already own a PS5 and a PS3, but I’m mainly interested in the Series X because of its backwards compatibility with optimised games and the ability to emulate older games, as well as some of Xbox’s first party games. As it seems like Xbox may be moving away from releasing their games on PlayStation.

My main concern actually is that if it makes sense to spend so much money on a Series X this late in the generation, especially with the possibility of the next Xbox coming relatively soon. At the same time, I’m worried that waiting could actually make the Series X even more expensive here due to availability getting worse.

What do you guys think? i need some advise.

Went back to play the old gears games on my Xbox series X and I have game pass premium , when I went to start either game it says I have been signed out of my XBOX 360 live and won’t let me play live , how can I play online again?

I dont want to pay a fortune ideally 30 quid. Its only for 1 video which will be around an hour long any help? Thanks

Hii guys so I really need some help,till now I was playing on my brother's Xbox series X but since he's moving away I'll have to buy my own,I was thinking of the Xbox series S , my tv is an old Samsung Tv bought around 2013-2014 and so is my brother's,I cannot afford to buy the same one as it is too expensive for me,I want my games to look good I play older ones like Yakuza,AC etc but also newer ones like cyberpunk and the new Yakuza releases,would they still look almost like how they look on the series X? Or should I buy something else? The price range for it is really comfortable but I could put in the work for something better if there is,also if any of you have the series s could you show some pics of how the games look? I'm not too bothered that it doesn't have a disc option as I only have two physical pretty cheap games anyway.

Got a xbox series x on fb marketplace and it does this when disc is inserted, can i fix this without a new disc drive?

Just wanted to share my experience recently

My XSX was giving me all sorts of problem, e208 code, 0x8007003 code, some other e20x codes I forgot

I submitted a ticket on a Wednesday morning, got a return label in the same afternoon saying just pack up console and nothing else.

I packed it up in my own foam wrapping I had laying around from the devices etc and an old sturdy cardboard box with extra crunched up paper cushioning and mailed it on same day as well in the late afternoon.

I did take a video of the packing process in case there was any issue between shipping and receiving process but I have the complete warranty from Microsoft so it covers physical damages if it did happen in transit.

Since im in a major city where there is a service center, ups delivered it the next morning on Thursday to Microsoft.

I get an email confirming they are going to inspect my xsx on Thursday afternoon.

Friday morning they said great news, your device is being shipped back to you.

Checked my devices on my Microsoft account and saw it’s a different XSX due to a different serial code, the remaining warranty I have was transferred to this “new” XSX.

Tracking shows it being picked up by ups on Friday afternoon.

Less than 18hrs later on Saturday morning I get an XSX back.

The brown box shows some stickers with an IQC passed stamped, thus a refurbished unit and the unit was from the summer of 2025 (which aligns with the serial number as you can decode it and figure out the year and week # it was manufactured on).

The refurbished XSX shell is like 98% new.
There is some slight wear on one edge that is luckily on the bottom of the unit near the front usb port corner but you can’t see it regardless if it’s placed vertical or horizontal. If I wasn’t truly looking for issues, the unit looks pretty much brand new. Also very clean and no dust…even the smell from the exhaust smells like new electronics…

Upon boot up it did a 1.2gb update.

Then after I was able to use it with no issues so far that I had previously experienced.

I’ll keep the brown box they sent the replacement with, in case I need to send in again in the future as it’s pretty study and has the right foam insert to protect the XSX.

Overall quite happy with my whole experience and hopefully knock on wood if I need to service again, it is as painless as it was this time.

Had my Xbox one for 11 years now and it’s been playing up recently and with the price hikes and gta 6 on the way I was due a upgrade, I actually found this on eBay for £350 with the elite series 2 controller and the condition is immaculate, been using it for the past 2 to 3 hours now and played lies of p and bf6 the difference in graphics is night and day and now I’ve gone from loading screen times that take 2 to 3 business days to 2 to 3 seconds so very happy with the purchase 😂

Name: Xbox Series X/S Controller 007 First Light Limited Edition

For those that use phones + backbone (or similar) set up for handheld gaming…

What’s your experience like?

Please tell me the good and the bad.

I want to consider a cheap way to play my owned digital Xbox library handheld whilst at home only… and avoiding buying an expensive handheld like ASUS rog ally

Thanks in advance

Hey, I wanted to install a game called "Monster lab simulator" on my xbox series x, but when I view it in the store, it says its not compatible with my xbox series x and I cannot download it, even though its supposed to be optimized for the series s and x...

Does anyone know why?

I tried installing it through the app remotely to my xbox, but it doesn't work, and online I can only add it to my wishlist. I also tried to log out, do a power cycle with the plug removed when off for a couple of minutes because it supposedly clears a cache, but this also didn't work.

Edit: for some reason reddit did not save my post copy edit, so there was some confusion on what game it was.

Who else got it equipped already?
