Looking forward to this launch. Xbox is back! Looking forward to so much coming to this console with Forza 7 in 4k/HDR/60FPS to the new OG Xbox games that play so much better on the newer hardware.

I really want to see Xbox continue on this new path with Phil, I think he has help turn the ship around over the last few years tremendously from the Xbox One's launch in 2013.

I don't think any new games will be announced at this event.

I remembered the PS4 and Xbox One launch events and no new games were announced at those events.

Seeing the titles Xbox has available, I just can't get excited about them being displayed on a beast of a console. Hope it does well though and shows MS/Sony that a number of console folk do actually care about graphics and performance.

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
MCC news made me cave and get another preorder in. Getting a bit excited now.

Off-topic: I’m happy to see so many familiar avatars in here.

I had one preordered, but decided to cancel it. Just not enough games to make it worth it. I do plan to get one early next year. There's just too many games coming out this year that that money can be spent on.

I've pre-ordered the "Day One Shower Nonce" edition, which comes with the promise of Evilores elongated fingers rising through the plug hole with every shower to finger your anus.

What? You cancelled bc there isnt enough games, but will spend your money on too many games coming out? There will be plenty of games to play on it.

This only makes sense if you're talking about Japanese third parties and exclusives that are automatically relegated to the competition consoles.

Awesome, this will give me something to watch while I'm waiting outside gamestop to pick up my scorpio. Glad to see Microsoft building some hype for this.

Anyone remember if there was a launch event for the PS4 Pro? I don't think my gamestop even did a midnight release for it. I just walked in a picked it up the next day. Microsoft seems to be handling this much better than Sony did with the Pro.

Oh it's on the 6th huh? Then I'll definitely watch it. If it had been on the 7th I wouldn't have checked it out because I'm busy with my own One X then.

MS could do big showcase for Spring line up, good time to show new trailers for Sea of thieves, State of Decay 2 and Crack down 3, time to build the hype!
Give us a lot of useful informations, could be a great show.

I already have a PS4 Pro. Everything coming out for the X I can get on that for the time being. I mean no exclusives that make owning an Xbox worth it right now.

Congrats! Currently only have a nice 1080p 120hz LED TV but still super excited for the X and Assassins Creed: Origins. The texture res. looks incredible even at 1080p. Hoping amazon updates their shipping estimates soon 🤔

Edit: spelling

Anyone know if their Gamestop is having a midnight release for the One X?

My Gamestop (sadly) didn't have one for the PS4 Pro, although it seems like the Pro is getting nowhere NEAR the hype of the One X

I don't know, but I think you're right that X hype seems way higher. I've got to assume it will have a midnight release, at least at major locations. I'll definitely be at a Microsoft Store just to participate in the tournaments if I can. Unfortunately I'll be out of town for work so I'll miss the launch day gaming festivities.

Fuuuuuuuuuu, pretty pumped about this, I was in line to get the original xbox so many years ago, then switched to PS. I was going to pass on this, but then my PS4 blew up, I got a 75 inch 4k tv, and my bday is on the second. Triple witching season baby, I'm in!

Really still debating if I should pick on up. Yes I would like to upgrade to the One X but at the same time no 4K TV.

Talking about Cuphead offcourse.



Well you made it sound like you are waiting for X to see the extra stuff.

Nah, I haven't had an Xbox for years, and I don't like playing shit on my PC that isn't made by Blizzard so I am just excited to play everything console exclusive on this thing. Cuphead just happens to be my most anticipated.

Anyone else think they going to announce PUBG is now available on launch day? It’s not like the game needs a release date to hype it...

I got a sneeky feeling...
