Good. this will also push the issue on whether or not they'll support VR goggles on xbox. It would be quite a selling point if they supported PC headsets.

See, who said bitching never got you anywhere?

3-6 coming to PC and xbox.

KAC · Jan 18, 2021, 06:51 AM

Looking forward to boning Medium on the box. Then I discovered it’s available on PC as well. Wtf?

**SirBaron** · Jan 20, 2021, 04:00 AM

It's PC and Xbox gamepass, just hope it's not ****.

KAC · Jan 23, 2021, 11:16 AM

MS increasing sub cost of Live Gold to 60 bucks for 6 months (double the price). Get your gold cards ASAP and convert to $1 3 year GPU ASAP. Too bad I can’t do much since my GPU will last till April of next year. Was thinking about stocking up on some gold cards but that might be futile as the 1:1 offer of XBL to GPU may expire by then or XBL might be phased out. Decisions.

**Cyko** · Jan 23, 2021, 12:50 PM

They changed course. Not increasing the price anymore and f2p games will not require gold to play online.

DeathKnight · Jan 23, 2021, 01:44 PM

Yeah, they changed it in less than a day after they saw the backlash. I'm guessing some executive bean counters railroaded the increase through without thinking. I can't see the likes of Phil Spencer being ok with it.

KAC · Jan 23, 2021, 11:14 PM

Seemed like a stupid thing to do given GPU is already priced high enough to make wallets bleed. Glad they back tracked.

Overspent my budget on a new GPU, CPU and now monitor so more than happy TBH. Bought Dirt 5 for PC and can now play with RT and Ultra settings at amazing FPS way above what the XSX can do. Might wait 18 months when they're struggling to sell it for £250.

Making Backward Compatible Games Even Better with FPS Boost

**SirBaron** · Feb 17, 2021, 01:00 PM

Now if only Sony/Nintendo were not so backwards with their backwards compatibility.

Amazing stuff. ms is definitely doing some things right.

OverclockN' · Feb 17, 2021, 04:57 PM

Man, this makes me want a new XBox Series X even more.

I just want one for backward compatibility at this point.

All the old games are currently dirt cheap. Wouldn't mind collecting a bunch of them and playing them at higher resolutions and framerates.

With the lack of good new games coming out (for any system) and the huge backlog of games I already had I'm loving the Series X...I'm getting all sorts of games from Game Pass and I get to play most of them at better resolutions/frame rates than when those games came out

Nascar24 · Feb 18, 2021, 09:35 AM

Is the FPS Boost active now? Is it automatic? Would be nice if you flip a switch before launch so its not a guessing game.

DeathKnight · Feb 18, 2021, 10:53 AM

It's active now for the titles mentioned. You can turn the boost on and off. Press start on the game card and go to manage settings.

LordHawkwind · Mar 13, 2021, 09:24 AM

Still no stock of the XseriesX in the UK but the crappy S version is available to buy. I know the reasons but still a total cluster***k that nothing available four months after launch. Luckily the lock down in UK ends 28th March so all those work from home people will be drifting back to their offices so less time to waste on console gaming.

You'd have thought that M$ would be prioritising the All Access version which ties people into their ecosystem but it appears they can't even accomplish that

I've bought Dirt 5 for the PC and Madden 21 is now available on EA Play for the PC and XboneX so further diminishing my need for the XseriesX.

I bet it's interesting at M$ board meetings when they ask Phil Spencer how many new consoles have we sold this month? Err none they're not available to buy I'm afraid. Don't worry Phil your job is safe

I know they're selling every console they make but nearly all are being bought by scalpers which is of no benefit to M$ in the medium/long term and just damages the brand in the short term.

AMD need to get their finger out and I bet there are some interesting conversations between Lisa Su and Jim Ryan/Phil Spencer. Wouldn't mind be a fly on the wall during those calls.

Tyr-Sog · Mar 13, 2021, 10:27 AM

Fallout from Covid still I'm betting.

The auto industry is having the same issue with lines going down due to
shortages in computer chips.

Have to imagine it's across the board.

Here you can buy an XSX in a grocery store since it is available everywhere.

kboye · Mar 17, 2021, 07:22 AM

Some beer, chips, and an XSX

(just not for me, not yet

An expensive 3rd party title on Game Pass Day 1. Glad I didn't buy it

Nope, there's no baseball games on xbox. Nope.

Nice! I'd likely never buy it but will definitely be giving it a go when it's out on Game Pass.
