I have got the game, I got it on release day through game pass, really enjoying it at the moment, apart from trying to get some of the XP/Fast Travel Boards especially the 5,000XP board hanging on the pylon, but I got it in the end. Not come across any bugs yet.

Your're lucky! I've raised and had closed about 7 tickets so far, keep losing progress  Mexico is great though, really like the setting.

A new topic! /s 

Anyone get this? I've been 'enjoying' the early access but it's been really buggy - online won't keep me connected for cruises but I can race online. Apart from that minor issue it's a very good game so far, set in Mexico it reminds me a lot of FH2/FH3. The game looks gorgeous even on a Xbox Series S with no 4k. There's loads of events to do and map seems around 1.5x bigger than last time.

New Lockdown - TIer 5 for all

Presuming you all saw this, I'm of the opinion it is needed and I think school's closing though painful was needed given the risk it posed. Hopefully this time will be a bit easier mentally as many of us now have support bubbles, plus there are some services still open that were not last time - Garden Centres/Recycling - so there is a little more to do.

I'm sorry if you're affected work wise, I didn't see any changes to the furlough scheme which is still running until April 2021 so if you are sent home now do please direct your employer here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/claim-for-wage-costs-through-the-coronavirus-job-retention-scheme

A Marvel mug. No seriously that's all I got lol Not even socks 

I got a cheque later hehe

They might be just doing. Previously pre-ordered consoles first.
Keep checking this daily. I've found a couple of friends Series S consoles using this with random restocks
https://www.stockinformer.co.uk/

DD gave me that link, I set up alerts on my phone and email and Amazon came through for me. Even delivered it a week early!

I saw a message on another forum that Argos do have stock but its store by store, maybe give a few a call?

Merry Christmas!

I got a new toolbox on christmas day

I have been looking for one for my lad, what are peoples honest opinions?

I got a Series S in the end, I'm very happy 

If you are fully 4k ready, then the Series X is the one to get. Its a very powerful console. As my TV (and Surround Sound) really needs upgrading to 4k I went with the Series S.

I also got Gamepass Ultimate - I loaded my Xbox Live to run for 3 years (about £80), and then used the 'Gamepass for a £1' option so I have full service inc EA Play until 2024

The only niggle so far was as it doesn't have a disc drive I had to buy a couple of games digitally but I got them on sale so not too bad. I did also buy a 1tb SSD to put games on.

Overall, yeah I'm pleased though Id imagine in a couple of years I'll do a full 4k upgrade but this is fine for now.

1st day of December, I've no advent calender though 

What's on your wishlists? Mine are Xbox Series S and Cyberpunk 2077. Fingers crossed C77 does release as I can get that on Xbox One and it'll be upgraded for Series S later 

Still none lol

Very had some Series S but you had to buy an extra controller  Just waiting now I think no rush.

I'd be interested in anyone's feedback on using it with older A/V equipment, I'm looking at HDMI Splitters with Optical Toslink Extractor - something which will take multiple HDMI inputs and output as one (with an optical audio out too). Or am I better off finally replacing my now near 10 year old amp.

I forgot about Shopto, Ive added them to my daily checklist thanks Unfortunately it wont even let me register interest for the S.

I got one. Really loving it so far.
Super fast and quick resume is amazing. I forgot about it and load up my xbox from cold boot,into assassins creed Valhalla and it took me by surprise that I was stood where I had left it the night before.
Looking forward to next week to see what the ps5 is like.

Did you get the Series X? My TV/HomeCinema would need a full upgrade to see the full benefit so I'm going for a Series S for now if I can find one of course!

I've been seeing a lot of good feedback about the loading times/boot times, 1 article reckoned we'd save 20 days this generation in regained loading times.

I'm on the lookout for one for my son. I have got a PS5 coming next Thursday though 

Aye out of stock everywhere, there is more expected before Xmas though 

So after a succesful launch including the tradional Xbox Live outage  the Series S/X has launched, I'm waiting on new stock myself but did anyone get one?
