Just received this today. I'm hapy to see Microsoft still doing well in the console space. They have now been in the console business longer than all other competitors except Sony and Nintendo. I hope they will continue to do well in the future too. Happy 20th anniversary Xbox!

Hopefully no issue. I've expressly avoided launch purchase due to sporadic failure rate reports.

Time to get 36 months GPU.

Wah nice console ! How much ? 😂

Was playing halo 1-3 and damn a lot of things were carried over to Destiny franchise. Really an eye opener.

well believe it or not, I did not play any of the Destiny game either. tongue.gif Pretty much skipped a good decade of hardcore gaming though I have owned the 360, ps3, and ps4. Only this current gen I am sort off back in business but now old dy, sigh. tongue.gif There are so many great games I wanna play.

I only play bespoke narrative-driven games like Uncharted. Even Halo Infinite, I'm only anticipating to play single player campaign mostly. If I do play multiplayer, it's on my own time, not a set time, not in a set clan, not in a set group.
*
Yeap same. In fact I am playing quantum break very slowly now lmao. The only competitive gaming which I am playing every now and then is the silly fifa online on ps5.

Just downloaded halo infinite and cant wait to play it tonight!

It arrived. Ordered Friday, got today. Need to find a way to clean up or hide the cable snakes at the back. The light is indeed non-heat emitting. The back wall of the cabinet is removable though.

I think PS5 has the option to turn off the USB ports, not sure the XSX has that feature. Which means my XSX is perpetually lighted, until I actually turn off or unplug the power cable?

Moved the  light base USB cables to a powered USB hub with smart power switch activated by voice. "Google/Siri/Alexa, turn off the power", off goes the light bases.

Why don’t just install one of those cabinet led down light ? 😂

I know, but what to do, no choice but to endure the BT audio. Or play only daytime.

Already have the 7X in cart in Amazon, still unsure to proceed or not.

Are those people on FB selling new or used? I see nobody on Shopee or Lazada selling 7X now. Only used.
*
The 7x on Amazon not RRP right ? How about 9x instead ?

With kid, it's tough man. I literally only have exact gap of only 2-3 hours max if lucky per day and that's about it. Mostly just browsing games and switch back to Netflix to let the movie run on TV.

Yes very true. After putting the kids to sleep ady around 11PM. watch some YouTube with wife until 12.30 or sometimes 1am then only my game time. lol.

wah 1am game time? Not much energy left dy. 1am I am in wonderland. yawn.gif

I'm not even married and I also can't muster up time to play games haha. I guess I finally outgrew my obsession with games. I still like building gaming PCs, owning consoles and buying games. I just don't play them as much anymore.

I'm starting my new job in January 2022, right now on short break. I told myself I want to complete at least 1 game before then. Proooooobably going to complete Gears 5 soon. Then on to Halo 5. So that I can finally start playing Halo Infinite single player.
*
Exactly, now I am buying for the sake of buying cause I love consoles. I think by next gen I also paiseh to walk in to buy console cause too old. They will wonder why this uncle still gaming. lmao. Well, enjoy your break to the max then!

How you guys handle those old console eh ? I have my PS3, PS4 and Xbox 360 now collecting dust there, cause i threw their box away during pindah rumah.
Now put inside a cabinet there with dehumidifier and change monthly.

tongue.gif if Microsoft is reading this thread, they confirm don't want to officially launch here lol. Cause it's more or less old men club. We need more young blood, single gaming folks like iguanadude. haha

I actually regretted selling my Xbox 360 Jasper (Lot 0843 Team FDOU) unit. It's was non modded some more.

Age is just a number. How you approach things determines how youthful or how much an old soul you are. Nothing wrong with either two ends of that spectrum, youthful energy of the young or wisdom that comes with age. My age will not change how I approach things, that includes gaming. I may lose the reflexes or energy of the youth, but that's not stopping me from gaming. Preference on games that emphasizes reflexes of the mind, than the reflexes of the hands.

69 billion acquisition is really no joke for a gaming company. That's probably higher than any single acquisition done by the US department of Treasury for the past decade lmao.

Wall streets are thinking probably EA could be next up for the acquisition sleeves.

if they want they could have bought square enix, off the books only around 5.5 billion market cap.

like ben3003 said, it's the asian gaming policy and asian business attitude.

wow~ SE so cheap ? only 5.5 bil?  Even Candy Crush should worth more than that today tongue.gif

SE have lots of games that can increase MS's portfolio, especially the FF series
I think Sony also has their eyes on SE right now
*
yeap. just checked SE market cap 5.91B as of yesterday. around the same amount candy crush sold to activision.

QUOTE(ben3003 @ Jan 19 2022, 02:16 PM)
yeah the whole Asian pride and Jepunis pride thingy. U see Western they not hesitate to sell their company at price to anybody, it is like Godfather saying of an offer that you cannot refuse lol. They can owes take the money and make another new company, and can continue make profit again. Capitalism bro biggrin.gif

but i see maybe Sony might thinking about having a deal with SE to strengthen their foot lol.
*
this as well as the jepunis foreign exchange and foreign trade act. There is a limit of foreign investments to protect their national security interest to half of their public listed firms for core and non core industries. Sony is listed as core and nintendo is listed as non core. But if MS cannot outright buy SE, I hope they can just buy a non controlling stake of SE.

Can’t wait for that day to come. If Xbox want penetrate Japan I think SE is the way. They already collaborated with Sega. SE is their doorway. But doubt it will happen. But heck who thought MS will buy Actibliz. Let’s wait for the announcement in 2024.
*
They somewhat set a tone dy. These mid cap firms like sega konami all those better think twice now. Haha

I really hope MS can do something with the asian market.

I guess the leak I posted earlier is true now. Here's the official showcase happening in 14 hours. Still shitty that a now-Xbox studio game is exclusive to a competing console for a year.

Exclusivity sucks. Games should never be exclusive to select few only.

The visual looks pretty good , hopefully the gameplay is not some repetitive combat trash 😂

Fast and efficient :lol2:
Speaking of, just save money and watch the entire Dark Picture games on Youtube. tongue.gif

That's why I adore Hitman. After each mission, the game hints at you what you're missing, and the open-ended nature of the way you can get to those extra story content you're missing. Not one mission stays the same. The game allows different starting point, different patrol routes, different loadouts if you want to challenge yourself.......and if you watch speedruns of the game, the most unexpected way for you to assassinate your targets. The easiest would just be strangle-and-run or shoot-and-run. But what if you want a clean scene with no trace of you in any surveillance, no witnesses? Now things gets interesting you're forced to think in parallel to what's happening elsewhere and match that to what you're planning now.

Plan A? I plan up to Plan E in case A gets f***ed up. Never leave things up to chance.

I just YouTube some of the walkthrough for alternate clean assassination to unlock the trophies for ps5. Haha

Just get from impulse for SG set with 1 year warranty, they have the 10% coins back max at 15k coins and you can get it down to around rm2.9k. The cheapest last year was around 2799 for Sg and 2699 for Jp set with unlimited coins back for impulse.
