Xbox General discussion **No Order Chat Here**

Sorry if this is a stupid question.

I have a 4TB external harddrive that most of my Xbox one games are on. Can I just plug this into the series X and they'll be ready to play or will I have to download all the games again?

Thanks

I dont think so.

There are proprietary expansions for Series X. Your games might run off your current harddrive but not games optimized for Series X or next gen games.

Incidentally, Sony said they may not have expansions currently compatible with their SSD by launch. Im glad Micrsoft sorted this by making proprietary Seagate expansions to avoid people getting incompatible ones.

I put down a deposit in Gamestop Dundrum for the X yesterday, totally forgot to ask where I was on the list. Just rang to ask and they said they weren't doing a list as of yet, they expect to have more than enough consoles. Said they were for the PS5 as interest seems to be much higher. Fools!

Pretty excited, and I know I should box up the One X here, and bring it in, but my son would kill me if I took away gamespass for the next two months!

That why im gona cancel my ps5 perorder in Gamestop and preorder in smyths should know Wednesday when sony opening perorders.
I think smyth we have a good idea of how many ps5 they have at launch as well as series x.

Is that risky Incase you don’t get the preorder?

I’m thinking of doing the same

I have a boxed Scorpio , got it from GameStop as they offered 2x credit if trade in a ps4 pro

Got 500euro credit

Scorpio was 500

I'm in no rush, PC is where I'm gaming now, I'm only getting the new console to keep access to my library of games. And also because it's costing me very little.

They will be ready to play. You can play Xbox One games from your current external harddrive on the new consoles but you won't be able to use it to play Series S and X games. I believe you can store next gen games on there tho to swap between harddrives when needed instead of having to redownload games when you have to make space.

Well just sold my Oculus quest for 400 euro so all ready to pre order the series X, have a one x but not doing without until series X arrives. I only have an elite controller I wonder is it possible to trade one x without controller or would I have to sell privately

I would get a cheap wire xbox one controller you might lose a little in trade but then again you might not.

Do Gamestop take trade-ins without the box?

Anyone know what they are offering for a One S at the moment? Have an extra one at home and will trade it in before the Series X comes out.

CEX are offering €156.00, but would prefer to get credit for GameStop.

They do. You just need the console, controller, HDMI and power cables.

Not sure what their value is on a One S atm as it isn't listed on their website. Doubt it is as much as the €144 cash unboxed CEX are offering though.

CEX are offering €156 cash for the 1TB model, so will probably just go for that.

Or would GameStop potentially do trade in offers for the Series X?

They are doing trade offers. Expect a maximum of €200 trade for a One S with 2 games from the trade list. I wouldn't be surprised if it is €150 though.

The €144 cash in CEX I quoted was for the 500gb version.

Gamestop given €100 for Old version of the xbox 1 the 500gb and €125 for the old 1Tb model so I say they give €150 for the xbox one s model.

Yes, this is correct, I believe.

Comment from YouTube that pretty much confirms what you said:

Also, you’re still able to STORE your games on external USB 3.0 mechanical/SSD hard drives, you just won’t be able to play off them. So essentially, you can have as much “cheap” storage as you want. You will just have to transfer games quite a bit, which will still be faster than redownloading.

Gamestop will give €136.50 credit for the Xbox one Slim 500GB (without a box and Level 1 )

Better off going to CEX atm unless you have a level 4 card, €143 at level 3 and €149.50 for level 4.

CEX are currently giving €144 cash or €177 credit unboxed.

Took my one X into gamestop today, upgraded my loyalty status to level 3.

Got 260 euros trade credit for the console, dying light, and borderlands, the handsome collection (the only games I have physical copies of)

Roll on November 10th, 40 euros more and I'm ready to rock!

This is probably a stupid question but is there any option to sign-up for the deal above, get onto the pre-order list but hold onto your existing console until closer to the Nov 10th?

highly unlikley.

you could always put down a few bob to preorder the console, then take your chances with what you'll get for your trade in close to the date, but you'd have to imagine that theyre going to start seeing an influx of second hand consoles now, which will likely drive the values down as time goes on.

Not to mention the Series S having a price point of €300 will drive down the value of Xbox One X, S, OG and the All digital edition.

If they play their cards right, the One S could be priced in the 'impulse buy' price range - decent games console and 4K bluray / streaming box.

Has there been any video comparing a game released this generation to it's upgraded version yet? I can't seem to see anything anywhere, Xbox or Playstation. You'd think they'd want to give people more reasons to upgrade and actually show what improvements there are.

Only the Gears 5 comparison on an unoptimized XSX build afaik. Ran at a comparable quality and speed to a 2080TI with everything maxed out.

From what I remember it was more along the lines of a 2080 or a 2080 Super not a 2080ti. Still impressive anyway as it only took a couple of weeks to get it at that standard.

well PlayStation have shown games running on the ps5.were as Microsoft haven't showing games running on Xbox series x which is strange just Gears 5 and minecraft most of game's were showing off running on pc with similar specs.
