o/Where are all the Europeans in this thread
I think we need some ROLLINS rumours to spice the weekend up
I wouldn't mind for them to keep some surprises under wraps until E3 or a Scorpio event.

Always working on that, but the sources have been quiet lately. One of them has disappeared completely. Hmmm. And apparently the actual CPU/GPU specs are being kept super quiet by MS. No one can seem to get a hold of them, and I wonder if we will ever get exact numbers on them....?
That being said, I wonder if maybe they'll give a free month (3 months) of MS Game Pass with Scorpio...?
As far as pricing, $399 and $499 seem to be the most likely options. Possibly 2 SKUs, one bare bones, one with a controller and bigger internal HD.
Definitely will have a 4K BR player, 4K video recording, and internal power supply.
Currently sounds like specs have been bumped slightly, to mid-6 TF. But in a closed, focused system, with full DX12 support, it sounds like it's going to perform as if it's much more.
That's all the rehash I have for now. But like I said, it's always a work-in-progress.
I get that. I lived in Colorado for about eighteen years. Beautiful place. I used have a house out there. I've still got family there.
Texas is so big an varied, I bet you could find an acceptably mountainous area. I couldn't imagine living in Dallas/Fort Worth though. Lots of stuff to do, but waaay too big for my tastes. At least I don't have to pay tolls, lol.
Yeah, Huston and Dallas are pretty humid. It's super dry where I a,, and San Antonio isn't bad at all.
Unfortunately, the only.place that has any mountains in Texas is the El Paso area. I think Mt Guadalupe is about 8k feet, but I will pass on that. I lived for a little bit in Fort Stockton down by Odessa and Midland, and I will pass on all the alkaline soil, the pump jacks, the mesquite bushes and the almost complete lack.of green vegetation. The hills area down in the San Antonio area isn't too bad and the north east corner up by Texarkana can be very pretty in the spring. But I love the fact that I can drive 10 minutes east of my house and I can be 100% alone in the mountains, it's the best. Lots of fun areas to shoot up there too
What area you in? Near the Springs? Manitou? Further up in the mountains like Gunnison? Fort Collins? ... or is it Boulder?Unfortunately, the only.place that has any mountains in Texas is the El Paso area. I think Mt Guadalupe is about 8k feet, but I will pass on that.

I love the option of a bare bones system. Already have an Elite controller and I'd rather dedicate that xtra 100 for a big external hard drive. With 4K games will probably need at least 4TB.
Actually who am I kidding. Between a 4K TV, wall mount, external hard drive new shelves and potentially a new monitor, I'll be dropping 2k on the setup this year.
Will still be a nice consideration going forward to have options of bare boned upgrades.

Yeah I really hope we this as an option. They've already said the controllers will work on Scorpio, and most of us have external HDDs anyways, so why force another controller and bigger internal drive on us? It's not like they make a ton of money on the hardware anyways, especially at release.
I asked him that because I'm in Colorado...He said he's in Utah. I love CO, but the only 2 mountainous places in the US I've been that I think are more beautiful are Alaska and Utah.What area you in?

Texas people like to vacation in Colorado. Colorado people like to vacation in Utah.
That's a gross generalization, but is grounded in truth, where I live. Of course, it's the desert we're after, come "mud season"... which is the spring shoulder season when your ski resort closes. Yeah, I'm taking the Jeep to the Utah deserts in about a month and a half. Can't wait!

I'm actually in Harrisville Utah right now and have also lived in North Ogden. When I lived in North Ogden, I was less than a 10 minute walk away from the mountains. I love going to Bear lake and the Uintah's. The Moab area down south is super pretty and everyone loves places like Zions National Park, Cedar breaks, Arches, and Bryce Canyon. Not many places can beat Utah if you like the outdoors.What area you in? Near the Springs? Manitou? Further up in the mountains like Gunnison? Fort Collins? ... or is it Boulder?
I'm from Utah, moved to TX from there. I grew up in Brigham, really near North Ogden, but lived in Utah County for the last 15 yrs or more.
Not trying to crap on you guys nut you have went 5 pages about Texas and nothing with Scorpio. You know you can make a private conversation and carry on THERE.
Nice! My wife loves Peach days
Sorry for derailment. Blame the Texans.
Same here. I would pretty astonished to find anything less than a Zen based CPU at this point.
Now I believe the Durango design team certainly would have continued with Jaguars and simply added a few more CUs for the GPU. They focused a little to heavily on platform parity and didn't bother to establish a performance metric for HD gaming. In the beginning I wanted to give MS the benefit of the doubt because some of the smartest people in technology work right within the Xbox Division. But how they necessitated that huge block of Esram (which the CPU doesn't have access to) that essentially cut their GPU/ROPS in half and blunted a significant portion of potential bandwidth is still puzzling to me. But even people working on Project Durango admitted that there were far more MBAs than actual engineers and game developers in the design room. And that's pretty sad.
Xbox wasn't turned over to Panos Panay and the Surface team to merely repeat the same design and follow the same model of inefficiency that quite honestly damaged the platform brand in alot of gamers minds. We're going to see a much bolder piece of architecture with Scorpio.
For a long ass time the PS4 was going to be 4 cpu cores and 4GB of Ram. Durango was always going to be 8 cores and 8GB, even before the Sram was decided upon.
The PS4 would have been like the Switch and Xbox One...Xbox One. There would have been a stark visual gap.

Sorry, I know it's probably confusing to see 2 pages of cross-check-able facts in a Scorpio thread.
The randomness has been going on for weeks and weeks. I have no idea if anything meaningful has been leaked/revealed so far.
