Same. If not, I've heard turning the brightness down to 48/49 gets rid of the grey blacks, but not sure how well that would work with HDR.

yeah that’s one of the things i saw too but didn’t want to be messing around with settings and having it mess up HDR stuff. i’d just end up leaving 4k 60 VRR on and then going to 1440p to do 120 i think. will be able to test in a few hours i guess xbox is out for delivery at least

My Xbox Series X is 5 stops away. I have just cleared out all my previous gen consoles and cables and I am now sitting looking at an empty space, waiting. Absolutely buzzing.

I was really hoping this 65GB update had a little something extra for XSX users

I guess XSX sells, not only is sold out everywhere, but just this week it sold around same numbers which Xbox one OG did here in 2 years (which is technically one year, since CZ was Tier 2 country):
Picture says: "This week 1974 customers bought (the item)"
However PS5 still won obviously 50k console was sold out in hour and since then there were no more stocks since then. And my info about Xbox One is limited as with receipts, however I am on one of the "Czech Neogaf" type of forum where a lot of people works at shops and distribution channel in here and there was confirmed by mutliple people back then, that by 31/12/2014 half of stock was sold and stock was 5k consoles. It was simply too expensive and nobody gave a fuck about kinect. Not the mention PS4 had at the end of the year some discount.
XSS is still available tho.

I got mine (well, first of the two I ordered) two hours ago or so. I set it up as soon as possible, as there are plenty of updates, even though I had the games preloaded (WD: Legion, Valhalla etc).
When I'm done with work for the day, everything should be ready to go

Just tested with my LG CX and there's flickering when going to 120 Hz and 10bit, 120 Hz 8 bit is fine.

The 8-bit setting is recommended, anyway. Xbox automatically switches modes, when necessary:

Well, day two with the Series X, and I was able to spend some real time with it tonight. Firstly, the noise. I'm still in awe of how quiet this thing is. Living in Australia, I was concerned about the Australian Summer®, which has a pretty bad effect on some machines *side eyes gaming PC*. Anyway, today was pretty damn warm, and even after three hours of full-on gameplay in this heat, the Series X stayed absolutely silent. Cannot praise that enough - it's a dream come true for someone who avoids using the PlayStation 4 Pro sitting under their TV.
So, anyway, the games. Up until now, "4k60" has been some wonderful buzz words, but I never really bought into it. I game in 3440x1440p at 100FPS on my PC; I know what good image quality is. After a few hours with Gears Tactics on the Series X... I'm a believer. I was watching the cinematics, thinking they're well done high bit-rate pre-rendered videos... and then my unit customisations showed up. Unbelievable image quality. No aliasing, no stutter, no texture pop-in, no awkward transitions, no long pauses on black screens. Four missions in, and I am utterly blown away by the visual presentation. It's faultless. This is a turn based tactics game that looks better than most high profile titles I've played in the last year. If this is a cross-gen game, I cannot wait to see what lays ahead when the exclusives start dropping.
Also... why did no one tell me Gears Tactics was flipping amazing? Its XCOM without the fat, and it fits the Gears Universe so damn well. Amazing launch titles for the Series X, and instantly one of my favourite titles of the whole year. If you're even remotely interested in it, pick it up; you won't be disappointed.
Fun anecdote: after Gears Tactics, I went back to Forza 7. I'd forgotten about quick resume - the reality of it hasn't sunk in yet - and I pressed play on the game icon from the menu, and went to stand up to go and get a drink while it loaded... except that in that time the game was already loaded back to the menu ready for me to pick my race. I kinda just stood there confused... so I just sat back down and started racing. I don't think I actually ever went and got that drink. I legitimately don't know how I'm going to adjust to this.
The Series X is quickly becoming my favourite launch Xbox - though, I do wish there was just one or two more big titles at launch. Amazing experience. Also, whoever decided to put the textured grip on the rear of the controller? They deserves a raise - I can't go back to the One controller.
Can't wait to see how everyone else enjoys their new consoles as they start landing over the next day!

So then I fear it will start flickering when the game switches to 10 bit.
I'll test with Doom Eternal once it's downloaded.

I quickly tried Ori and the Will of the Wisps (LG CX) and didn't notice anything strange in the 120Hz or 6K modes.

Tested with Doom Eternal, 4K 120 Hz 10bit HDR with no flickering so it seems the OS menu is the one with issues.

If my wife and I share the console and I buy a digital game on my profile, will she be able to play it on her profile as well?

If It is set as your primary console, any game you own can be played by any user.

60+FPS is a revelation. I tried a few games and I seriously hope a performance mode is standard from now on. Even dips from 55-60 are a non issue because of VRR. Crazy how much better it feels.

Nice collection! I take it you're a fan of Sega. Did you know that Microsoft will be presenting their purchase of Sega this wednesday?

Don't pass gaas, it is your Destiny!
Tried to get one last night when added to all the online store. Got checked out at GameStop but my cc company decided to not approve the charge so by time I got that fixed it was sold out, also got it in my cart at ms store but never able to check out.
oh well can’t say I didn’t try.

Same! Just came and now is downloading the Ori 2 next gen patch.
Packaging is super premium, controller feels waaaaaay better than I expected, many steps above the One, and the Series X itself is remarkably small and light - YT videos don't do it justice.

I think having an option to remove it would be a nice compromise.

Got my Series X in earlier today after re-delivery. Ordered it from the MS Japan store.
Setup was no problem using the Xbox App and it seems much more responsive compared to the X1. I'm re-downloading a lot of stuff although I probably should have just copied over stuff from my X1X. (Games I own and Gamepass stuff) Glad to see EA play available now as well on Gamepass.
New controller feels nice as well although I will be using it as a secondary controller and use my Elite 2 as my main one again. Just want to test out the new one first.

Is it downloaded automatically or do you have to go and get it?There is a 23.61gb high resolution texture pack for X1X and XSX owners on Modern Warfare now

For sure, I think Sega is probably already massively downsized and MS haven't been afraid to do the same in the past.
Speaking of acquisition rumours, here's another

Tested with my QLED (Q950TS) and there the OS menu works fine in 120 Hz 10 bit without any flickering so it might be an LG CX issue.

Moving games over from the hard drive to the external is a lot quicker than I expected.
First game I loaded up was GTA 4 playing that game at 60 fps is feels so nice and it looks much crisper.
