Still no charge here yet, mine still say pending as well.

 

[nodle]

Some are saying their Amazon and orders are starting to get processed.

 

[nodle]

Well boys, I woke up to a nice surprise this morning of a charged card. Looks like I am in the clear. Of course the world is ending now, go figure.

Everyone is starting to get shipping notices today, post when you get yours.

 

[nodle]

Ah I'm getting so excited, so close. Most people have gotten their shipping tracking numbers lately, still waiting on mine. I figure sometime today or Friday for my area here. So jacked!

Everybody’s getting their Xbox’s early and are already playing on them and I’m sitting here waiting for my tracking number.

 

[nodle]

Sounds like the majority or Walmart orders are now delayed.

 

[nodle]

Still nothing yet.

 

[nodle]

Just got my email!

 

[nodle]

Sure a lot of people getting their units already.

 

[nodle]

Sounds like Amazon really botched this one.

 

[nodle]

Sounds like good news for everyone on here, looks like if all goes well we should all have ours sometime tomorrow.

Out for delivery here.

 

[C Pav]

Amazon out for delivery but Best Buy says Thursday. Best Buy sure has dropped their release day guarantee compared to years ago.

 

[nodle]

I was worried about mine at first but only an hour away hope to have it soon.

 

[nodle]

Well boys it looks like we all got one. I have to admit the machine is a lot more smaller than expected. I only had one problem getting my controller to connect but finally got it. Still getting use to it since it's been about 5 years now. Downloading a game but can't really play it till it gets downloaded. One thing I found interesting it detected my display as 4k even though it isn't, but seems to be working.

So, what are your impressions @nodle? I'm curious what you think as a one time Xbox fan, that has spent the past years favoring PS or Nintendo platforms.

I was actually surprised at how it performs. Having experienced the "drastic" performance gains of an Xbox One X vs. the Xbox One, I didn't really know how much better the new Series X would be. In Sea of Thieves there is a mechanic to return to your ship if it is far enough away. Using this on the One X could take 15-20 seconds sometimes. Even on my PC (older specs now sort of) it takes a bit. On the Series X I'm not even sure if it took a full second.
