Xbox Series X/S

[Jason]

What fighting games do you play? I'm currently play King of Fighters XVI and plan on getting Street Fighter 6 when it goes on sale.

I considering getting this arcade stick if I really get back into them: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C4YRJHGB/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_3?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

On Xbox, I've got MK X and 11, Injustice 2, Killer Instinct, and I bought all of the old DOA games and SFIV when they were on sale recently.
All of those MK games were ultra cheap recently, as well. I'll probably grab some others like SC and Tekken, even though I'd be double dipping. They all play @1080p/60, so the Series S is perfect to be my fighting game platform.

I'd love to move all of my fighting games over to Xbox, but I have too many on Playstation to do that, including:

• MK X
• MK 11 (also own it on Xbox)
• Injustice 1 and 2
• Street Fighter V (not available on Xbox)
• Street Fighter IV
• Street Fighter Anniversary
• King of Fighters XIV
• King of Fighters XV (also own it on Xbox)
• Soul Calibur VI
• Tekken 7
• Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown (I do own Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown on Xbox)

Amazon just matched it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08WFD42G5/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

I couldn't resist with same-day delivery from Amazon. I should have it this afternoon.

[Brad Company]

It's a pretty good set for 100, a really good set for 50.

[Brad Company]

I went ahead and ordered a Series X now that Amazon has them new and unbundled. I really like the S, but I wanted the added horsepower and disc drive for even mote retro goodness.

[Jason]

Congrats!!! It's an awesome console and the S is great for an office/bedroom.

New Xbox dashboard came out last night. Reboot your console if it's not showing up for you yet.

I've been seeing plenty of complaints about it online, but I think it looks great and find it easier to navigate. I'd like to see some more customization options, but it's a good start.

[Brad Company]

Yeah, no complaints here. I cand find what I want as quick as before.

Amazon is currently selling the WD 1TB expansion for $120 ($149.99 with a $30 coupon). It's still overpriced, but cheaper than it's ever been (it was $125 during Prime Day earlier in the month), so I went ahead and ordered one. I'm getting same-day delivery, so I should have it installed tonight.

[Brad Company]

Of course, no discount on 2TB version.

[Jason]

I almost threw away the box for my expansion card without realizing there was a code for a free month of GamePass Ultimate in there. 

The timing was perfect since the big update for Forza 7 just came out yesterday. Now I can play the game while I wait to see how much it goes on sale for during the Black Friday sales.
