I'm jealous! I'm waiting for the next gen of 4K displays to roll around before jumping in.

Please don't do shifty faces like that.
If I am wrong then I am wrong. But the Xbox S can't play games in 4K. It may upscale the signal to output at 4K and as far as I am aware that is all it does, and that is not 4K gaming.
I don't guess it is true 4K but with the proper TV FH3 does do HDR lighting which honestly made a noticeable difference in the graphics for me. From what I have seen between X1 S and PS4 Pro, the games that are receiving HDR treatment stand out among those that just offer improved graphics through FauK if you want to call it that.
I need to take some in-game pics and see if the difference shows between the prior pics I took. It really is glorious.
I am sure HDR is great. It doesn't surprise me to see people praising that feature of the Xbox S and Pro.
I am not surprised they(HDR games)stand out more either, I mean it isn't an and/or thing, right? It is HDR on top of improved graphics.
Lost Odyssey is free until December 31st guys

That's right. The only console that can do 4K gaming right now is the PS4 Pro.
Feel free to do shifty faces. I like getting positive feedback any way i can get it.
Shifty face counts only as a neutral rating and not a positive.
Everyone feel free to shifty up TD's last post!
Great for digital only gamers...
We’ve made several optimizations to game and app downloads on Xbox One:
We’ve made several optimizations to game and app downloads on Xbox One:
- Customers with high-speed connections (greater than 100Mbps) should experience up to 80% faster download speeds.
- Customers with connections less than 100Mbps should experience more consistent performance that is up to 40% faster than before.
- Additional optimizations have also made background downloads more resilient to intermittent connectivity issues.
The background downloads barely work for me. It didn't download the last FIFA update. It didn't download the last Division update. It didn't download the last Battlefield update. I can;t remember the last time it downloaded a game update for me.
I've had no problem with background updates. If anything, my biggest problems are having to shut down every few days because either Netflix or the Comedy Central app decides to stop working well.
According to 'the other console maker' upscaling to 4K is nearly better than real 4K.
4k gaming can apperenly be any upscaled signal, and still be called real 4k in . So just relax and enjoy your X1S

No, straight upscaling is for rubes. If you're not upscaling it in pieces and assembling those pieces into a 4K mosaic of sweet graphics goodness you're a philistine.
Good to hear. The cable company is coming out and upgrading me to 100Mbps. Was only $10 extra a month on my bill. Ready to open my One S next weekend and start gaming!
My kids just got an xbox One from their uncles for xmas. I try to hold judgement until I have gotten familiar with it but I am starting to really hate this f***ing thing.
Yes the graphics are great however:
Takes f***ing hours/days to download a game*. Yes I have troubled shoot-ed the s*** out of it. Still downloading at avg 10 mb/s which isn't really accurate from what I can tell.
You have to pay to play online! Effff that!.
Im going back to the PS3
If anyone is interested, I'm will to sell a 7 day out of the box Xbox One with two controllers (one has a few dings from being thrown)
* Battlefield 1 (the trial version) was included with the console. I know that perhaps its because its such an expansive game (especially online) but it shouldnt take 16 hours to download. I have to pay an additional $50 for the full version apparently. Then I have to buy a subscription!

Call support, that is not typical. Takes about a half hour to download and install a game on my end.

You are selling your child's Xbox, that you never even bought, and you damaged it within 7 days of having it.

That would be a waste. PS4 has similar game install times and also charges to play online.
really?!!!? I only game once in awhile and its free on the ps3. sorry to sound like a newb!
Children are ignorant arseholes.
Sell it in front of them, and tell them it's because they ruined your life.
It will make this their most memorable Xmas.

The year was 1994, I was 7 and all I wanted for Xmas was a My Model hair and fashion make-up doll. I wrote to Santa, begged my family for one, and even did extra chores on the farm (beyond the slave labour of milking 500 stupid cows in a herringbone dairy before and after school).
My parents worked both my brother and I hard, and we never got to go away on holidays or anything like that, because of the freaking dairy farm, and a drought that lasted 5 years.
5:30am on Xmas morning comes, and the present under the tree is wrapped up, and it looks to be the right size! I was so happy I could piss.
I unwrapped it, and it wasn't what I wanted. Yet again, I was given a Tonka truck.
My mum still says that the look I gave her that morning, was the most loathsome and heated glare she's seen me give.
I picked up the truck, left the house, and climbed on top of the shed roof beside the dam waiting for my parents to come out. When they finally did, I screamed "WHAT IS THIS s***??!!?!" And threw the truck into the dam from the roof. It was a brilliant throw in my mind.
Dad then proceeded to beat the s*** out of me after I climbed down, but eh, it was worth it. lol
What's a boy to do with a toy truck?! We had real trucks and motorbikes.
Has anyone played The Golf Club Collectors Edition? Found it on XB One for $10 wondering if it's any good.
