I've been on a bit of a tear upgrading my home theatre for 4K and HDR.
- Denon AVR2112ci receiver swapped out for a AVR-X2200w, en route via Fed Ex.
- Day-One Xbox One 500GB swapped for an Xbox One S 1TB, got $220 for the trade and a free adapter to hook up the Kinect. Hopefully there's a trade-in program when the Scorpio comes out.
- Toshiba 55L6200U 3DTV swapped out for a Samsung UN55KS8500, arriving tomorrow.
I hope developers start supporting HDR on new and existing titles.

My wife has worked long hours the past number of months so rewarded me the other day by bringing home a new Xbox One S. The kids have started playing video games so I've basically lost my current xbox to them. I again have my very own to use when i wish. Really like the machine and how games are running on it.
Actually having time has allowed me to actually properly start some time consuming games I've been avoiding...Witcher 3 for example.

You can get months of enjoyment out of Witcher 3 especially if you do a lot of side quests and the expansion packs.

I would just add that ea access is an amazing deal, and of course get all of the free games from your xbox live every month including the 360 ones. I lost my xbox one to my son so I am back onto the 360, but found that I had so many games that I hadn't played that I really don't mind.

Is anyone having very frequent Xbox live outages? I've had the system for a week and have had maybe 2 days where it wasn't down.
Edit: playing nhl17 so maybe an ea server problem?

Destiny and Xbox Live has been up all week. EA is famous for terrible servers.

Just on Xbox? I've always had a ps4 and haven't had any problems. Maybe should go back if it's strictly an Xbox issue.

No, in general EA has never been known for their server reliability.

I YouTube'd it and it was a simple fix. Hopefully it stops disconnecting me in the middle of my games.

Nice to see this thread revived. I'm looking forward to what Scorpio brings to this generation in terms of games, functionality and of course moving all consoles forward.
The assumption that I'm making is that it is considered this generation as it is a requirement that Scorpio play all xb1 games, but with emulators i'm not sure that even this distinction matters any more.

Playstation is so far ahead in quality exclusive software now it's largely irrelevant. Microsoft has cancelled as many interesting looking exclusives as they've released recently, and the ones that have come out are the same tired franchises critics and consumers aren't responding to as much anymore.

Yup just this month Nioh and Horizon. New IPs that are getting amazing reviews. Not even close unless you wanna count Halo Wars 2 (another sequel)

Not sure if this should be posted here or the videogames thread but the new PS4 firmware just came out last night.
There's lot of changes including the ability to set your own wallpaper instead of having to live with or buy themes, the ability to use your own external USB 3.0 hard drive (no longer have to upgrade the internal drive if you run out of space), boost mode for PS4 Pro, improved PSVR, etc.

XBone Vs PS4 Vs PC - VIDEOGAME POLITICS THUNDERDOME - PS4:900p-XBone:720p-PC::smug:
I was always an Xbox guy (as a huge N64 kid, Sony was evil to me), but yeah, most of my time is spent with my PS4 Pro these days. Horizon is a huge coup for Sony and is an incredible exclusive to have in their arsenal.
I still slightly prefer the feel of XB1's controller, however. The DS4's still a quality piece of kit nonetheless.

Snagged a PS4 yesterday with MLB the show. Trying to install it from a physical disc, but it seems like im stuck on the NYM vs KC game until it installs. I let it sit overnight and it still isn't even half way done... is that a game disc issue or am I doing something wrong?

Baseball is such a slow game that even the video game installs slowly.

What is your internet speed?
If you can, connect with an ethernet.

The answer is, of course, more beer!
