Forums - Microsoft Discussion - So, I ordered an Xbox One S.

If there are games you shouldn't wait for a deal on Xbox, it's Forza. The games are super good and for some reason they don't get good deals. They are like Nintendo games. Until the release of the next one you'll find them expenaive. And the deals they get usually don't worth the wait. GET FH3 NOW.

Hey guys! I did it! My 500 GB Halo bundle should arrive on Monday, October 3rd!

So, obviously I'm getting Halo 5 and the Master Chief Collection. What other games should I get? I want Forza Horizon 3, but will probably wait for a deal over the holidays to get it.

What Xbox One exclusives would you guys recomend picking up?

I knew you will get an xbox one. It was only a matter of time. Also, get Gears 4 when it comes out and some of the 360 backwards game. I'm going to get COD 3 soon.



Nice! Just got mine a month ago too. Love forza 6 and gears remastered. Getting forza horizon 3 soon too. Microsoft really did a good job turning the One around since it's launch.



1. Forza Horizon 3
2. Killer Instinct
3. Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare
4. Battleborn
5. Gears of War 4
6. Assassins Creed: Syndicate

I think you'd be better off to get a 1TB hybrid drive.  The Xbone has some serious load times with some games.  A hybrid drive will help a lot with that, without the high cost of SSD.  I say 1TB because that, in additional to the 500GB internal, is more than enough to hold the games you're playing, plus a handful that you just want to have at the ready.  Any other can be re-loaded later, if necessary.  Then, take the $150 you save over the 5TB drive mentioned here, and buy some games with it. 

My 5TB was $120 so it wasn't that expensive. I have used 3.2TB of 4.5TB, and I don't even buy games that often. For some really avid gamers, they will definitely want at least 2TB or more. I think size is a little bit more important than download speed because if he only buys digital it won't even matter how fast it is.

Haha well, I said I probably would. I just wasn't expecting to this early. But, between you and I, I only paid $160 for it.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Hey I'll play halo with you add me GT: OLT Unbarred.

what are you HDD/SSD setups???

 

 

@everyone

there isn't a Xbox one s 2tb in black???

White is banned from my entertainment center for lighting reasons.



Rare Replay, as others have said is Fantastic. MCC and Halo 5 are no brainers. I personally really enjoyed Quantum Break. Ori was one of my absolute favorite experiences, ever. Anything with Forza in the title is infinite quality and fun. Gears of War series is a must.

I skipped the other posts so I'm probably repeating a lot of other people's comments.

This!

I would also add Ryse, KI, Rare Replay, Dead Rising, Forza 6, (all cheap now and we'll worth it).

 

 

I would also add Halo 5 and some third party titles like BF4 and The Witcher 3.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).
