    On second thought I'm not sure

    They do I seen in Patrick St cork that if you trade in your 500gb Xbox one they will give you the one s for 175 I think being honest that is quite a bad deal as works out about 75 euros for your Xbox one as you can pick them up the one s for about 220 pound online.

    Also I sold my own 500fb one for 175 euros today so you will get good money from adverts.

    So any recommendations for a decent value 4k screen of at least 40" for this. My Netflix plan is the correct one.

    With 4k I think you need to go at lest 50 inches 40 I don't think you will notice my H of a difference.

    I would go for something with HDR on it.

    Probably looking at lest 800 euros min for a TV sadly.

    I'm more interested in the HDR for the Xbone tbh
    Size wont really matter in that case


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,168 ✭✭✭Grahamer666


    From my understanding, some of the cheaper 4K tv's that have HDR have a version that isn't the same as the more expensive models. Is this correct?

    Anyone notice if the dashboard runs quicker on the S?
    It has gotten progressively slower on my One

    Do you have any particular scenario you want me to check?

    It seems very snappy for me so far anyway. Before preview update & after.

    Cheers, nothing in particular.
    Was just wondering about general navigation, load times etc. And what difference the more efficient CPU and a slightly faster GPU make.

    Haven't really noticed a huge difference in load times or navigation but boot times are much faster.

    I went with cex (€134) and bought the console from Smyths. Gamestop were useless when I'd issues with controllers before.




  • So CEX gave me 134 for 500gb Model
    17 Euro for the Kinect
    And 6 for the Headset that came with it.

    All cash

    Not bad

    299 for the Xbox one S with Fifa 17 (Looking to sell that)

    You'll get €40 for Fifa on adverts.

    The gears of war 4 console is much nicer than the white in my opinion.

    I didn't like the white at all when first revealed but after seeing it in person I really liked it.

    The gears one looks unreal tho. I'd like to see it in person.

    Even if it's made in China, it's nice to see Ireland on it. Last time I seen Ireland on an electronic device was a Dell laptop about 10 years ago :p

    do you not use the kinect Mick?

    tbh, i wouldnt be without mine, if only for pausing netflix or something.

    I'm waiting on the adapter for the One S and it's horrible having to sign in, press buttons to open notificatios or record stuff.

    Yes I am lazy :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 892 ✭✭✭Fuzzy Logic


    Just got on to chat support to get mine ordered. Said 10-14 days to wait for it




  • do you not use the kinect Mick?

    I haven't used it in about 12 months so sold it.
    For me personally it's a gimmick. I want my console for playing games. That's it really.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,152 ✭✭✭Lord Spence


    out of interest I have ordered my one s kinect adapter, will this work with windows?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 768 ✭✭✭breeno


    Hi Guys,

    any ideas of the best deal out there for a one s? Hopefully with Fifa but any deal would be considered!

    Just seen on Xbox UK's instagram they're bringing the Storm Grey S to the UK market soon.

    That looks close enough to black for some who might want it.
