Re: Xbox Series X - World Premiere
They already announced it a while back. I think if you took out an S or X around the time they announced the series X, then you can take out the new console after 12 months or something.
Edit it's after 18 payments

.Upgrade to the next Xbox console
Enjoy the option to upgrade to the next Xbox console, Xbox Series X, after the equivalent of 18 payments. Get the Xbox Series X with a new Xbox All Access purchase from the same retail partner where you joined the program, and trade-in the console originally purchased with Xbox All Access

Re: Xbox Series X - World Premiere
Ah I didn't see that bit. I can see a lot of people doing that method then as it will be a lot easier on the bank account.

Re: Xbox Series X - World Premiere
The Xbox Series S design and price got leaked so MS have made it official, the price is $299 and spec details will be released soon.
Both consoles will launch on November 10th and a finance plan is available according to Windows Central.

Re: Xbox Series X - World Premiere
They deffos leaked it on purpose. They want Sony to reveal their prices. Remember this gen? We had the prices ages in advance.

That leak didn't go too well then as MS have also revealed the prices officially now too.

May be part of the strategy.

Re: Xbox Series X - World Premiere
At £249 I'd definitely consider the series S
Some more details
Quote:
A full version of the earlier leaked teaser has now listed the console's technical specs as including support for 120FPS at 1440p, 4K upscaling for games, 4K media playback, support for DirectX raytracing, and a custom NVME 512GB SSD.
Oh, and the Series S is 60 per cent smaller than the X, so easier to fit under your TV.

Still wondering how Raytracing is possible on it with a far slower GPU and only 4GIG of ram.

Apparently its 10GB of RAM Vs the 16GB on the Series X. Same CPU but slightly slower GPU. The fact it will run 1440p at up to 120fps and raytracing says to me its a fairly powerful little box

Oh yeah I got that mixed up with GPU teraflops which is 4.

Re: Xbox Series X - World Premiere
Still for a ray tracing capable machine, able to do 1440p up to 120fps for only 249 is an absolute steal.

Re: Xbox Series X - World Premiere
From what I've been reading the Series S will do everything the Series X will do just at 1440p rather than 4K.
Saw this posted by a dev on reddit
Quote:
Graphics dev here, some notes about performance targeting that people might find useful.
It has been designed to match the graphical output in almost every way except output resolution, it still supports all the same GPU features, just targets a lower resolution and has lower memory bandwidth because its not needed.
You can take a game that is running at 4k on the series X and without any changes render at 1440p on a series S and be in the same ballpark of performance.
People here are correct that its not quite as simple as you have 33% of the flops, therefore, you can render 33% of the resolution. But as most games are very fillrate limited it is more like that than it used to be.
Also, they are correct that vram amounts and bandwidth matter, both of which are reduced for series S, however so are the texture sizes.
Assets for the series X package will be at the optimum resolution for a 4k native output, assets for the series S will be at the optimum resolution for a 1440p output, almost half the resolution!
This has 4 major effects,
Lower memory usage at runtime which is needed due to it having less memory.
Lower disk space consumed by a game (could be as much as 40% less) which is great because it has half the storage size.
Lower SSD bandwidth required (which is good because the SSD is also slower as it uses fewer channels to keep the price down)
Lower memory bandwidth required both for moving the textures and for simple fill operations.
So you can see that by scaling back the Ram size and speed, and SSD size and speed, and the GPU speed you end up with a console that can perfectly handle 1440p content as long as the content is mastered for a 1440p experience. This isn't as hard as you think as final output sizes for builds is done automatically by most content processing pipelines anyway.

Re: Xbox Series X - World Premiere
Latest leak is the expansion storage for the X will cost $220 for a 1TB drive.
