This actually makes sense since they had that Cryengine demo that did ray tracing on a Vega 56.

So R7k for a console capable of ray-tracing, 1440p 120Hz gaming, compatible will all older controller, compatible with all older games, and with Game Pass Ultimate with EA Play included, it is by far the best value and best option for gaming.
And with the Xbox Series X CONFIRMED at $499:

Itās a a very decent price, but that doesnāt automatically make it the best option for gaming for everybody.
Personally just having game pass on PC and then the rumored 4K Switch Pro and PS5 would be the best option for playing everything. All Xbox games will be on PC and then the Nintendo and Sony consoles for their exclusive lineup.

Crap. Now I want an S. Itās a great price for undoubtedly a great console. I think itāll be a day 1 purchase for me. The price of the X is a little hard to swallow, as I donāt have a 4k / HDR TV. Heck, my TVs are all el-cheapo 1080p 60Hzā¦

Iāll be selling my XBox One X for cheap around the Series X launch if anyoneās interested.
Iām lucky that I have just enough eBucks to buy the Series X. Yay for eBucks!

With all this being confirmed and specs and all that tinsel etc, does this mean that the margin between console and PC gaming are coming closer and closer. I mean i look at those specs and honestly, thatās what you would expect from a mid range PC, along with performance, from the way the papers look.
Very exciting times for the (console specific) market indeed.
Keep me in mind.

So random, my Xbox just switched itself on. I donāt think Iāve ever experienced this before.
Im keeping my One X, as i like to keep all my consoles, i will get an S or X but not at launch, i first want to see the reliability and reviews on the hardware iāll wait for a hellblade 2 bundle or a forza bundle.
The S is extremely good value for money as you are literally just paying R5500 for the console cause the controller alone is worth about R1500.

I see pre-orders for the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S are open at Takealot and Raru.
No OneBox previews from Takealot, sadly:

Now that I have two Xboxā¦ Xboxees, Xboxes, Xboxāsā¦ Now that I have an Xbox and Xbox One X the wife and I can finally play co-op games without needing to be confined to one console or split-screen.
Apart from playing some Destiny, I have been thinking of playing some Gears of War, Iām pretty sure the entire campaign can be played through co-op? Does the same apply to Halo?
