The Update Scan time was reduced in one of the recent system updates. Very noticeable improvement in scan speed. Mine went from around 30s+ down to about 5s. I currently have a single 1TB USB SSD attached along with the internal 1TB drive. The USB drive is for playing non Series X games directly...

A little late to the party, but I finally found a Series X console in stock so I bought one. For the past year, I've been gaming on a Series S because I couldn't find a Series X in stock anywhere other than from scalpers. Also didn't want to hang onto the Series S after getting the X so traded...

Pretty sure that's the newest version of the Snow Drop engine since it support RT. It's also possibly a real time cinematic "cutscene" and not gameplay for obvious reasons. I've played with the Snow Drop engine's real time photomode and it's quite powerful even on X1X. You could freely move the...

I'm ok with "off the shelf" assets if they look good vs ugly art. Games such as PUBG for example look awful. Currently there aren't many open world multi-player games that look good. Division 2 and Watch Dogs Legion are a couple of examples, any others?

Latest update adds vertical tabs option which I really like! Is this new or has this been done on other browsers? It is super useful when using portrait mode monitors vs having many horizontal tabs getting squeezed smaller and eventually getting truncated on the right side of the tabs bar. I...

My AV Rx does DSP to simulate different listening environments using my 5.1 SS system. Depending on the type of music, I do enable stereo to DSP surround but not always. If I'm listening to say acoustic guitar track I like to select chamber surround effect because it gives it more "air" but...

I hope they add coop to the game for raids etc. Single player is soo last gen. The engine looks good but likely will only run well on PC and the new consoles. BDO on X1X has a lot of tearing when running in 4K. Even at 1080p the framerate is only about 30 with slight tearing and some slowdown...

Well my last controller also burned out so I purchased one of the new Series X/S controllers. I put one of the li-ion batteries into the new controller and it's able to charge via the USB C port with a standard cable. No special cable with LED light needed. I hope this one doesn't burn up...

Competition is good, it's too bad they were complacent until Microsoft raised the bar using their own browser engine. I don't think I'll be going back though unless Edge starts lagging behind Chrome.

Just recently discovered that I could finally use my other Xbox consoles using my main profile to run apps and do other stuff. It doesn't allow running games though which is understandable. Basically when I log in to my X1X it doesn't log me out of my X1S so I could play a game on X1X while on...

As much as I'd like to have a more advanced controller bundled with the next gen consoles, I don't think Microsoft in particular is going to bundle their Elite controller with it. They make more money selling it separately. Personally I think the Dual Sense controller is what a next gen console...

It uses the stock USB port on the controller. The system looks exactly like the official P&C kit. Anyway thanks for the insight. I have a total of 3 burned controllers now. The bundled X1X controller is now also dead. I have only two controllers left, the original Xbox One and One S. I'm...

For the last month I've been using Edge only. Very happy with the browser. I have literally tons of tabs open in Edge and it still uses memory very efficiently.

Hi sorry for late reply. No I'm using a 3rd part Play & Charge pack. It uses a lithium ion battery. It works the same way the official P&C works. My two burned controllers are the special "design your own controller" models for Xbox Design Lab with custom colors, buttons etc. It's not the...
