Microsoft Xbox Discussion Part II

- Start date
I’ve got mine ordered from The Source, ordered it the morning of the preorder. It says estimated delivery is Nov 17th...really hoping I don’t have to wait an entire week after it’s launched to receive my console.

Not sure if I'm reading this correctly. The Series X has much less input lag from the controller and seems to get better with higher FPS???

Yup. I'm assuming those are different resolutions for those modes. For instance the 120 fps mode is prob in 1080p while the 60 would be in 4k (my guess)
Rainbow Six Siege is on Gamepass now.
A couple weeks ago I stacked two years of Live and spent $15 on Gamepass. Best deal in gaming history.

Are there any third party controllers that don’t have the stick drift issue? I just got Overcooked to play with my gf and it’s unplayable due to the subtlest left stick drift constantly forcing characters upward.
I stupidly bought a second Microsoft controller before loading the game (haven’t even used my Xbox in years). Waiting for this shit to start with that one, too.

ive had half a dozen controllers and haven’t seen this. I’ve had some break due to wear and tear.

I had one older controller's left stick suddenly veering a little but it never affected in games. I've had a couple since and no issues.

The only problems I've had with this generation of Xbox controllers is the bumper buttons breaking on 2 of them early on - not sure if they've fixed that or it's just good luck that none have done that since.
But it could also come down to how much you've used them. I have 4 of them so I end up using different ones all the time, so it's possible they just haven't worn down enough. But it is almost inevitable with analog sticks that they start getting loose and drifting over time. Sometimes you can fix it or improve it for a while by opening them up and cleaning them.

Second halo infinite lead leaves the project
I feel like it's probably best to scrap everything and focus on a standalone multiplayer, especially since it's very likely the rumored Battle Royale multiplayer influenced the "open world" single player decision. Just a guess but I think that decision may have affected both modes negatively.
Better to just polish the MP and get it out for the fans while the SP is gone back to the drawing board.

uggghhhh, really? this would be my first Xbox console therefore first Halo game so I was excited to finally play one but for it to be a Battle Royale type of game would totally be a deal breaker for me.
There was no rumored battle royale mode for Halo. The opposite, actually. They said the only BR they’re interested in is Battle Royale.
My Series X shipped today from The Source. I’ve never ordered something through the mail for pre-order, does the post service just hold it until the 10th?

There was a case of someone receiving it from The Source early in Montreal, so you might be lucky and get it early.

Yep! Mine shipped yesterday and is already one state away and could be here in a day or two, except it looks like it’ll be held until Nov. 10th. But at least I’m getting it on launch day! I was planning on it arriving a few days after.
I might try calling the shipping company to see if I can pick it up early once I see it arrived at my local facility. I doubt they’ll let me but it’s worth a try!
These Gears 5 tech showcases for what it does on Series X is going to get me to try it.
Mine shipped today. Didn’t expect Lousville to be the shipping spot.
