Not that I'm aware, I had mine since the One S when they gave them away free if you upgraded from the vanilla console. Still bummed out that they don't work with the new consoles.

I've got one and yeah its annoying it doesn't work on the new console
I couldn't remember if I heard that they dropped compatibility or not. It doesn't seem like there's a technical reason for this, so this is very annoying!

I know they've been trying to separate themselves from Kinect, but it's like OK, we get it! This is NOT the current Xbox mantra... It just kinda goes against their new backwards compatibility to infinity, your games won't expire look of late. They should seriously think of packaging a "Retro Kinect" camera at this point. One that is like $50-$75, USB, and works for both previous gens. Pure "kitsch"... I know that Microsoft doesn't generally do kitsch, (and they'd probably get sh!t on by the gaming media, which doesn't ever like anything) and that's why they'd be better off licensing it out to a 3rd party partner.
 
It's a shame. They went from trying to force it to just pretending it doesn't exist.

And HD-DVD support? And the Xbox Media Center Extender?
 
What's the first game you gonna play on it?
Been playing the hell outta some Medium, Gears 5 and Skyrim so far. I cant believe how fast this thing loads. Its crazy to witness, tbh. HDR looks insane on this thing, too. I have a 4K tv but from the distance I sit from the screen, I cant tell anyway. The Series S is perfect for me. Im alll digital and I care more about frames than res. Its right up my alley.
 
To add to it being a shame MS dumped Kinect.

Would have been perfect now with so many having to work from home, isolate or stuck in lockdown to have something that kept them active.
Look at ring fit. Sells out a soon as stock comes in and has sold millions.

Sure Ubisoft could have released another Yourshape which sold well anyways.
And not just those games, Dancing, Sports or what ever would go down really well now.

The main reason why I want to get an XSX is the fact that I have about 600+ XBOX, and 360 games

Microsoft has greatly improved on B/C with XSX over the pathetic Sony B/C offerings in PS5. I went digital with most of my PS4 games anyways... I need that XSX to play my disc based Xbox games, and nice to know that improvements are added to some of them

I know you can get an external SSD and get somewhat similar results, but damn the SSD just loads everything so damn fast, loaded up skyrim with all the mods it could handle and what would usually take at least a minute to load took about 5 seconds at most and with an uncapped frame rate it's such a game changer.
