Yes so with MS/Phil supporting this even more now , I feel for some with already a gaming PC, what would make them want to get the console too ? Living room experience ? Maybe but for now doesn't seem to be a priority as the PS5 is already there and every Xbox exclusive and Gamepass perks are all on the Ultimate package too.
I keep reading about it not working for some and crashing. But like I said, it's a convenience factor to me.
The only time Quick resume hasn't worked for me was for any game that has an online component or needs an always on internet connection, which MS has been upfront about. Heck its on their support page.
Otherwise it has been rock solid.

As you can see here on Union, no problems. The only time I see complaints is at PS centric blogs, forums and social media. I wouldn't worry about it then.
Again, EARLY in the Series S and X life quick resume did had a few issues but most were caused by the end user not knowing the restrictions of Quick resume on games with multiplayer or online components.

Quick resume on Xbox is completely broken in online multiplayer games and has been for years
Quick Resume with online/multiplayer games is a developer specific problem, not Xbox/Microsoft. When the game resumes, just about all existing network sockets are invalid as a TCP connection state is impossible to maintain during that time, the remote server won't acknowledge any such old...

Convenience/ease of use, plug and play and forget, affordability, playing it on a large screen with surround sound.
We know you’ll never own a Series console. You don’t have to keep hammering that nail. Play your PC and move on.
Probably not this gen if they don't do a mid gen refresh. Or if their next console comes out to be more powerful than a 4080 then I'll consider it.
It works fine for most games. AC Valhalla doesn't like it. I resumed the game once and it wouldn't save anymore until restarting the game. I use it in Forza Horizon 4 while online almost all of the time. It takes an additional 10 seconds or so to find a server to connect to and it works normally. It's not as bad as the people complaining make it seem.
Most ubisoft games have problems with quick resume because of their weird always online but not really, only other game I remember is GOTG with weird audio issues with QR, otherwise it's one of my favorite current gen features. And the fact it works with an external HDD flawlessly is icing.
I haven’t had any issue with any of the forza m/h quick resume, halo has had it fixed for a while, most other games I play seem to work just fine.
Wonder how many times they practiced that so it what’s the right side up
That is a nice umbrella.
I've got a crazy ass umbrella that I never use because I'm just not an umbrella type of guy (and forget that I own one)
It has the button to pop, and somehow when you press that button again, it collapses. It's nuts and simply mechanical no power or anything.
Kinda wish it had the bird on top of it like that one though.
Anyway Merry Christmas everyone!
You guys are so mean to DriedMangoes though, I don't undertand why? (lol)
He needs to know that I see his trolling attempts.
Think of it as like when a child starts testing boarders, and the older sibling just punches them in the face.
It's out of love.
I like DriedMagoes too, you need a guy like that. Yeah he's a Sony fanboy who cares? At least he doesn't hide it right?
My dad hates dried mangoes if you watch him peel off the PPF on his (2nd) LGC3, he has no idea what I'm talking about it was perfect haha.
That's in the states right?
Woah, just checked and the XSX is $499 in Canada ($150 off)
That's a steal!
And I'm trying to take in this discussion about quick resume......
I turned it off and it still takes seconds to get into Forza..and also get an option to hit the > button to "quick resume" but it loads so fast I don't have the time to do it,
So it really doesn't matter.
It's actually an extra $30 off if you buy in-store at GameStop. Great deal for those interested. So $469.99 for a XSX brand new.
Huh,
That does make you wonder right?
I mean that's a massive price drop for a console that went UP in price here in Canada just a few months ago........
I'll let you speculate haha. Dang that is a good deal you sure you don't want an XSX?
I mean that's the price of an i7 or a low end graphics card......... pretty much........
Yes it does , I think the recent sales data from Black Friday has MS wanting to get more of the XS consoles in people's homes hence the attractive pricing.
If I didn't get a new PC in October with the 13700kf/4080 I would be leaning heavily towards getting this deal !
I'd recommend getting one anyway, despite your new PC.
It's a pleasure to just fire up a no fuss console and the XSX is a beast.
But what I think Microsoft is up to is the very obvious, and we could all see them heading this way for a decade I'd say.
They are buying up publishers and building a "Netflix" type gaming service.
Imagine Game Pass on other stuff? That could happen.
There's the rumours of a refresh coming next year so I want to hear more about that model first before anything. Worst thing that can happen is I get this one and then they announce a newer model in 2024
