Thinking about 4k tv too. Heard that if that 4k tv do not support hdmi 2.1, it will not fully utilise series x & ps5 capabilities and currently only flagship model had hdmi 2.1.
*
becos there are games that definintely can go 4k 120fps, i saw ori and the wisp or watever the name of the game is can do that, if ur tv cannot hdmi 2.1 then cannot. 1080p 120fps not sure need which hdmi version.

u take the manual out, then u see supported refresh rate then u can knwo oledi lo.. 100hz motion is motion interpolation up to 100hz, FAKE refresh rate.

(dont want pc version, coz my pc sucks)

Im also considering series X. Although PC raw hardware power is alot stronger (rtx3080 builds), but it is super under optimized. For rm2200 series X, can do 4k60fps + vast games in gamepass, seem like a good deal.
*
yeah.. but 3080 cost hell lot more lol.. really good deal considering the price. seems like its time to go back to xbox lol. went from xbox 360 to ps3 then ps4. I do hope microsoft can officially set foot in msia.. easier to buy games and account thingy lo.. now so mafan.. this gamepass thing also need to find topup credit.. account also need change here there. not sure how much hassle it is la.. but the community also not as big as ps4, altho actually my ps4 community also not much ppl lol.

Its not that difficult, just get your self an xbox, create a US gamertag (fake US address, example: yahoo inc), then use paypal with your malaysia CC or DC. Once those are setup use your Xbox 1> Series S/X set the region to US, buy XBL/Gamepass/games should work. You can also buy gift cards to topup as long as they are US region (xbl/gamepass/gift card/games)

If you guys want to use Argentina store, then the CC/DC trick doesnt work afaik you have to buy argentina gift card for topup. (correct me if im wrong)
*
Okay, so US or singapore better? cos i last time got set up already US xbox account. but the region can switch around one? cos when i login my PC i use the same xbox account.. maybe should just create a new one then.

I'm also on SG gamertag since 360 days, just make sure you setup US address on your MS account then select that as primary address then it should work the same way. to claim free XBL game on Xbox.com (browser) for Xbox games you need to use US region, for 360 games you have to change to SG region.
*
ok thanks for the info. the gamepass ultimate is quite confusing.. there is no 1 subscription to rule them all kind of thing?

I typically get Xbox and Playstation for each gen. This gen I started with OG Xbox One in 2014. Then got a PS4 Pro in 2018. Then an Xbox One X later on the same year. For the next gen I'm getting Series X first. Might get a PS5 later down the line.
*
seems like good idea, ps5 wait for better exclusive. but i miss out alot games on xbox one which can play with xbox series x

QUOTE(greyshadow @ Oct 7 2020, 01:45 PM)
yeah, that's the risk there

reports are coming in that the XBsX is running very hot,
basically it's a mini portable heater there with hot winds blowing out when it's running only XB1 games
can't imagine how hot it will be when it's running next gen games hmm.gif

But hot air also meaning the giant fan and the huge heat sink is working as intended
and I think we should have more space for air circulation around the console this time
*
wow if running hot, i worry another xbox360 RROD. exhaust of xbox360 is also damn hot, hot until hand also cant put there for long but doesnt mean the heat sink is working as intended shakehead.gif shakehead.gif

this is my nightmare la..

yeah, that's the concerns of many as well, the RROD nightmares are still fresh, I lost 2 units of X360 to RROD until the arrival of Jasper unit doh.gif
*
Lol i keep reviving my x360 using watever method i can doh.gif wrap with cloth to heat it up then pray when hot enuf can play again lol. my next unit was jasper tho. they say not 100% wont rrod but jasper is much better in terms of heat.

heard ps5 doing well in heat management, the fan is silent tho.

Yeah that’s correct.

You can actually use any account region to start off - my account is actually a Malaysian account. I just changed the store to US store and bought XBOX LIVE GOLD gift card (US), and redeemed the $1 upgrade conversion (direct deducted from CC for console, no need gift card) to GPU from my console. No VPN required.

Might wanna be fast, XBOX might remove this feature as we move closer to the launch of Series X - heard from reddit that Microsoft might change this soon.

Do i need xbox console to do this? Or use phone app also can?

yes. just go to xbox.com and register an account, choose the region you like (there is no malaysia region), then buy xbox gold live 3 years then buy xbox game pass ultimate for just usd1. now you own 3 years of xgpu...

for buying any games or xbox live gold on other region like argentina or brazil, just switch to that country xbox.com and buy it....( must have that country currency in account)
*
Cannot buy 3 years only got 3 months if use microsoft store now.. only use reload card can stack. Btw the reload card need to use VPN?
