If I were to buy a next generation console, and I currently have no interest in doing so, I would probably buy a Series X/S first. Backward compatibility matters to me, and these systems have the most comprehensive BC we've seen since the Game Boy Advance.
I just want to know more about the Series game pad, though. I might just buy one for my Xbox One S if it's compatible and the D-pad is really as good as the rumors suggest. (And the rumors of thumbstick drift are exaggerated. Why is this a problem with this console generation specifically?)
Oh, forgot to share this here...
Between now and the last time the thread was active, I got my hands on an Xbox Series X controller and wrote out my thoughts and impressions on it.
One negative with playing Gamepass/PS Now versions of games downloaded on your system is if they have DLC it’s usually not included. Gamepass let’s you buy the DLC, but that just seems like an unsound idea to be buying DLC for games you don’t actually own...
Well, since we don't know how these contracts work, I'm not sure we should feel bad. As far as we know, it could be profitable for them - I hope they get to enjoy this water faucet while it lasts.On the other hand, I kind of feel bad for the devs since the general vibe I got for this game was everyone was waiting for it to be put on Gamepass, despite them repeatedly saying it wasn’t coming there. Kind of feel like they got bullied into cutting their losses here.
External HDDs in the X can only play games not native to the X itself, so it helps only if you have a bunch of 360 and One games.Once again, procrastination is the wisest move!
Does an external hard drive actually help anything with the Series X? I’ve got one hooked up to it, but games are all downloaded and played off the internal drive anyway so all it seems to do is obfuscate how much storage I actually have
Yeah, well, the problem with MS having such a fuzzy line between generations is that some optimized One games are native Series X games and other are fancied up One games... so the answer is complicatedDoes that apply to One games that aren’t optimized only, or all of them?
Microsoft’s Xbox backward compatibility program returns with 76 new games

Whoooole whack of new BC games; including a bunch of things that I missed dearly.
And also a bunch of things I didn’t miss remotely. But I’m focusing on the positive
