did not expect it to be quite so hard to get one, I am on backorder now with delivery in December :(

Yep the demand is even big in some of the countries in Europe who usually don't even like Xbox, the demand is deffenitely greater then expected. Lets hope you get it a bit earlier, Microsoft did say many times they will do heavy-duty resupplying

I can confidently say... The Xbox One X doesn't have 1440P support right now.

Tried it on two different 1440P displays, different HDMI cables (Including the one that came with the console.) and took the splitter out of the equation. (Which I shouldn't have to anyway as it handles 1440P 60fps from my PC just fine.)

No go.

Digging into the issue and doing some research... Apparently it's coming in the future, just like a bulk of the enhanced games (There is only a handful right now), rather than on release. Which sucks.

So I am stuck using peasant 1080P. At-least I can use 10-bit colour though.

Apparantly the user interface is also stuck at 1080P regardless of your resolution, which also sucks.
The bright side is... The Xbox One's UI uses allot of sharp and clean lines, so it doesn't upscale badly, but it would have been nicer if it would have been at native res.

The only thing wrong is it's still an Xbox One in regards to game installs. They really need to catch up. Just put Rise of the Tomb Raider in for both it and the Pro and the latter was done within 5 minutes (updates and all).

Ah yeah, that's my biggest issue with the XB1. It seems like games take forever to install.

If you have physical discs, do this:

Go to settings and disconnect from the internet. Insert the disc. It'll install super fast. Then, reconnect to the internet. It'll download the updates but, while it's updating, you can play.

Some annoyances I have had:
* No 1440P support.
* Console isn't telling me what updates are available for games unless I attempt to launch the game.
* Still hate the UI. It's just not convenient to use with the UI scrolling left, right, up and down, hidden menu's, sub-menu's and so on.
* No Kinect Port. (Yeah yeah, I know. I enjoy using the voice commands to launch apps though.)

Otherwise... It's still very much an Xbox One, with all the good and the bad baggage that goes with it.
The External Hard Drive support is still amazing, Sony and Nintendo needs to catch on... Just plugged my drive in and... Up comes 250+ games already installed.

Also... Not sure I like the texturing on the new Xbox One controllers... Or if I am just used to the launch Xbox One controllers more uniform feel, see how I go over the next few days I guess.

 

PS4 has had external HDD support for quite some time now.

Didn’t MS just state the X1X will support 1440p displays?!

Edit: Seems to be coming at a later date.

The One X will eventually have native support for 1440p (2560 x 1440) monitors, as confirmed by Microsoft’s Kevin Gammill on Twitter. Gammill later clarified that 1440p support won't be ready immediately but is “coming soon.”

UI was initially supposed to be at 4K, but they decided to make it 1080p to free up a bit more ram (8gb --> 9gb) for the developers to use, which is a great move imo.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

Will be getting mine early next year. I want to hear some thoughts on games.

Halo 5 looking amazing
