This being console-less these last two weeks is a getting to me. I wasn't gaming much anyway, so I thought it would be easy. But now that I don't have the choice to game makes me want to game even more! Well, I kind of new this would happen and force me to be more careful with saving money for a Series X. 

 

So far, I have nothing saved as another thing came up. But 3 weeks before release I should be able to save and scrape by. It's going to be a challenge as I'm a mature student. :D  This will be my first console I'm getting at launch.

Yeah... that always happens.  Saving is impossible sometimes.

 

 

 

I've never hated load times as much as I do now.  All these "hands on" previews are killing me.  I want my SSD quickness...now!

 

The crazy fun is soon to explode.  New consoles.  A fine trickle of new games.  Gonna be a good time for sure.

I finally managed to find a buyer for my One X, now it's just a matter of time and twiddling my thumbs until the SX comes out.

I know people are looking for new 

This is the European model#  This fellow is the DF of televisions 

1200 nits, as well as multi-HDR support for only £800.

I could never spend $1,000+ for an offbrand like Hisense. 200-300 more and you could get a Samsung or LG

 

Or go with TCL if you are on budget

I don't know, man. I used to think like that but China electronics are killing it in the last 5-10 years. DJI, Xaomi, Lenovo, Huawei. I've been getting most of my photography and phone gear from China the last 5 years, camera flashes, and hardware. It's a 2 thirds of the price and even half the price of other, more established brands but it really good stuff. But yeah a 1000+ is a different story altogether. 

 

No doubt Samsung and LG score highest and come first in comparisons. But Hisense as some say could be like the new LG. They were once called GoldStar until they rebranded in the 90's they had a hard time breaking into the US market. But now they could well be on their way to be a more respected brand like LG became.

 

I can get this for €399 in a bricks and mortar shop. I'm seriously considering it. I'm also looking at LG and Samsung but HiSense has caught my attention. It will be my first foray into 4K so, there's that to consider too. Of course, I'll be happy with the first upgrade in about 10 years. My previous TV was an LG and the downgraded a bit to my bro's Sony. It's got some damage on it. I think it's 43" so, I want to go bigger as well. 50/55" would be nice.

Time will tell, my past Gaming Laptop and Pc could heat my house.

Cooling requires heat dissipation

 

It's a byproduct of power:yingyang:

Well, this isn't very reassuring, I can't even imagine how how it'll get running a proper next gen game. Hopefully that vapor chamber manages to do its job.

I wouldn’t be too concerned unless it leads to overheating/shutdown issues or something.

 

My phone, old lap top, countless consoles etc all feel warm/hot after extended amounts of use. All that energy has to go somewhere.

Yeah it all seems a bit reactionary. I'm not surprised the there is a good amount of heat. The "ceiling" is the only exit for the heat. 

 

But just a refresher on how the console is designed to dissipate heat gives me full confidence. Cooling and airflow informed the design decisions for this console probably more than any other console Microsoft has produced. 

 

Time-stamped for air-flow/cooling segment... 

 

I imagine the cooling on One X or PS5 is that it's air is taken in and dissipated from almost all sides. Or in the PS5's case it's spread by either side of the tower but the whole length of the tower. But with a Series X, it's more condensed and linear. From bottom to top if vertical or left to right if horizontal.

I was looking forward to the heat.  My old ass house is like a seive and my winter gas bill is $$$.

Haha, no. Link?  EDIT: Tweet was removed :( 

 

I just discovered, having thought Quick Resume supports 3 games, it actually supports 4-6 games. And it works after you turn off the console and turn it on. Kinda new the second part but it's just so impressive to see.

Sony posted an instructional video for how to change the orientation.

 

Xbox reaponded with a cheeky tweet (that looks to have been removed).  Here is a GameSpot article.

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-responds-to-ps5-teardown-video-with-cheeky-tweet/1100-6483029/

 

E:

Yeah...up to 6 games in auto resume even during soft power cycle is a super plus for me.  Honest, it will change how I use my gaming time.  Being able to keep a persistent pause state with something like the Trials games while jumping between big AAA story games means I will clock in more time with the Trials game since I dont have to load and/or sacrifice the AAA and then having to reload that after a few minutes in Trials.

*talk about a run on.

Dunno why it was deleted tbh, Sony had their fun with the PS4 launch when Xbox One was a daily disaster, MS are due their turn, it's not their fault Sony is giving them easy free shots with the poorly designed (from a visual point of view) PS5 that's meant to grace our living rooms.

Yeah I f*cking hate the PS5 design. It's the true definition of "lacking convenience and efficiency to look cool and unique". And it does not even look cool if you ask me. I have no idea why some people like it but different tastes I guess. The original PS4 was absolutely slick in terms of style. It looked unique and convenient at the same time. Though overall I always prefer black to white when it comes to consoles so maybe a black PS5 could look better to me. 

 

I don't understand why Xbox removed the tweet. I mean breaking balls is always fun from both sides. People can't even make a joke these days without people getting triggered. Compare this to back in 2013. I wish we still had the freedom of those times.

This came out in early Sept, I hadn't noticed it here.

If you order Series S,  looks like it will be great!

 

Every time I see The alien autopsy on Sony I chuckle.

MS have been revealing their internals for some time

 

Added this is interesting

https://www.windowscentral.com/gamestop-strikes-multiyear-deal-microsoft-cloud-surface-and-xbox-all-access

 

  • GameStop and Microsoft today entered into a multiyear partnership.
  • The deal makes Microsoft's cloud services the backbone of GameStop's back-end and in-store solutions.
  • Store reps will also begin using Surface devices, and Xbox All Access will be offered at GameStop stores.

The deal between MS and GameStop, should make purchase of Xbox with All Access very easy in the US

GameStop  has some hate in in the US, but my experience has always been good..

also see sony fans (unhappy-conflict of sale interest)

 

But maybe sony can make a deal with Apple 

The Genius bar can help with lateral deployment of Kongsoul//ah console........🙃,,,sorry just can't help myself

 

Prime Day, is usually Meh, but Game Pass deals are gonna happen

last sale(non prime) I was able to get a few at $25 us

 

Looks good 4 Xbox

 

sony: will probably get a bigger boost with their usb c 

 War. War never changes

It's pretty crazy that you can suspend a game, turn the console off, completely unplug it for a whole week, turn it back on, and you can resume your game from where you left it. That is incredible!
