Land of #1 Overall Picks
So looks like the only people I'd gift it to didn't need it relative to the cost, opened it up last night and overall it just made me realize how little I needed a gaming device of that scale. I guess I need to do some benchmarking against games and see if the gaming performance is better, but until I load up games and transfer stuff over, it's just... eh. I know I'm not comparing it to anything properly since it's a pure workhorse machine. I can't help but feel like the Scorpio edition was lame, just a couple green labels on the case and controllers. And compared to my XB1S it's been the exact same thing so far until I get a game going.
Hoping this changes once I find time to play something like maybe Witcher 3 or if I get Battlefront 2. Younger me would have been so much more excited.
The Scorpio edition did not cost anymore though. I get what you're saying. I think the main difference is Day 1 you're not playing some new game that you really can't on your new system but oh boy does Gears and Halo look good.
