I'm thinking about purchasing my first Xbox ever....contemplating whether I should pull the trigger (once they're back in stock)...

This latest XBOX Series X backwards compatibility update includes XBOX Live exclusives. At this point, does that simply mean they are for sale again on whatever Microsoft calls XBOX Live now? I might grab Vandal Hearts 3.

I view backwards compatible updates to correspond to physical releases. This seems like a misleading way to say old games are available for sale again.

Feel like buying a new machine, but neither seems to be in stock. Had Playstation 1 and 2, and Xbox 360 and Xbox One X. Own a lot of games in the Xbox system, but started thinking about getting a Playstation 5. Weird they are sold out here.

Got my Series X secured through Wal Mart today, won't be here for nearly 3 weeks evidently but still pretty happy that I was able to snag one given the insane demand.

Congrats! You'll get it around Halo which sounds like perfect timing. I'm so excited for Halo!

Thanks--I was watching some Halo vids, I'm having trouble understanding the appeal but I'll def try it out as part of the Game Pass ($25 for 3 months right now at Target and Gamestop, FYI). I'm pretty pumped to play Forza 5 though (this is my first Xbox). Feel like I've betrayed my Sony longstanding relationship :shake:

We need more info on the Perfect Dark remake like now

Same. This is for my 14 year old. Is the halo campaign multiplayer?

I believe it will be available in co-op, but it was just delayed again.

Play the games you want to play. Who cares what machine they're on!

My son’s Series X arrived this morning. Walmart+ is doing another console drop at 11 tomorrow. That’s how I got this one.

Holy crap yours came fast. Mine isn't due in until 10 Dec and I think we both ordered on the same day. Congrats though!

Also I just realized the Xbox controllers take AA batteries (wtf, really??)...anyone recommend a good rechargeable solution? Was thinking about the Razer station/battery that seems to check out, never been a fan of third party solutions for this kind of accessory...

I use Eneloop rechargeable batteries in most of my do-dads.

I'm pretty convinced these PlayStation 5 consoles are a myth.

It certainly feels that way.
