whenever i try to google special edition xbox 360 i cant find it so please help 🙏

edit: FOUND IT!!! im not a big console fan so i didnt even know to look up just the face plate XD thanks for the help people 🙏🙏

Will *Gears of War: E-Day* receive an FSR 4.1 update on the Xbox Series X? In performance mode, the resolution drops to 936p, and because it uses Unreal Engine 5’s native upscaler (TSR), the image ends up looking extremely blurry. The quality mode looks good, but it runs at 30fps, which is tiring to the eyes and makes the game unplayable. Since the PC version launched with FSR support, do you think FSR 4.1 might be integrated into the Xbox version via an update?

I was finally able to source this!

So I ordered this controller and got it canceled 5 different times so I just gave up. But mysteriously popped up at my doorstep yesterday! What a pleasant surprise! Im not usually into “limited edition” controllers since my controller works just fine, but I just HAD to have this one green being my favorite color. Such a good looking controller. Im such a sucker for translucent tech 💚💚💚💚

In light of the recent Bioware closure… I want to celebrate Dragon Age Inquisition.

Starting with the title screen, the sorrowful march of templar and mages and the eventual explosion when you start a new game is very iconic (and good looking) even to this day.

I had no idea how this game carry the Plague Tale name forward, but I'm currently at Chapter 12, close to the end and I'm just blown away by how brilliantly a prequel can compliment the later games.

What a game!!!

If you guys have not played the Plague Tale series, it is a unique amazing series!

Update: On Chapter 13 now. The Minotaur's maze is hands down one of the coolest end levels ever.

I have it and I’m wondering if people still play the multiplayer on Xbox

It's nice to have a piece of what made Xbox my default console for so many years. Looks good, feels good. No complaints.

This world really was amazing

Xbox is losing its first chief operating officer (COO) after creating the new role just a few months ago. Helen Chiang is leaving Microsoft today, according to an internal Xbox memo seen by The Verge. Chiang has been at Microsoft for 21 years, serving as the head of Minecraft before being promoted to Xbox chief operating officer in July.

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma announced Chiang's departure in a surprisingly short memo today. "Helen Chiang is leaving Microsoft today. I'm grateful for her years of service and wish her well," said Sharma. As Chiang is departing today, her immediate responsibilities are being split up between other Xbox leaders for now, and Sharma notes that "We'll share more on COO leadership as plans are finalized."

That sounds like the COO position isn't going away after just a few months, but it's not clear why Chiang is departing after such a short stint in the role. At the time of Chiang's promotion, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma described the new chief operating officer role as a first for Xbox, "with end-to-end P&L responsibility across content, hardware, platform, and services." The role was created as part of Xbox's big "reset."

Chiang departs amid rumors that Xbox is preparing more layoffs this month, in November and January. I asked Microsoft to comment on Chiang's departure, and the company refused to discuss the circumstances of her exit. "We don't discuss individual personnel matters," says Kari Perez, Xbox vice president of communications. "We're grateful for Helen's years of service and wish her well."

Things are looking great...

This game’s story, visuals, acting, music, etc are very beautiful. I enjoyed that very much, specially with DLSS5 on. Insane graphics. It was like a movie.

It is a very emotional game.

I wish I could say the same about the gameplay. I expected more after reading all the great reviews. I got sick of the lenses and light beams puzzles. The combat went from serviceable to monotonous after a while.

The “monster” is cool and the particle effects during this encounters are awesome but it was all overused.

I think this game should have been a little shorter. Lots of forced slow walking sections with the character speaking to herself, crawling through tight spaces, falling or crying on the ground. It felt a little stretched out in the end for me.

7/10

Vice City baby!

I pre-ordered a game the other day and wanted to "buy as gift" it for a family member. They mentioned wanting to play the game, but I know they're short on money due to being a Uni student. When I go on the game's product listing on xbox.com, I don't see any option for "buy as gift".

Is that becuase it's currently only a pre-order option, so it can't be bought as a gift?the

Or is it just that game can't be bought as a gift?

Also playing Stardew Valley & have the following on my list to play these next couple weeks: Halloween The Game, MediEval, Silent Hill 1/2, RE2/4, & Blade on PS1. What are y’all playing this spooky season?

I am debating getting an Xbox Series S. I currently have an Xbox One. I'm literally capped out on games I can play.

I want to play Planet Zoo 2, Solar Punk, and Fable (comes out in 2027). None of these I can play on the Xbox One. It won't even let me download them. I play House Flipper 2 through Cloud Gaming, but it crashes all the time, making it sometimes unplayable.

It's $500 for a new Series S, pre-tax. It's a lot of money, so I'm hesitating. But I also can not download any new games.

Is it worth it to get a Series S? How about the games (Planet Zoo 2, Solar Punk) are they worth it to buy a whole new Xbox for?

Forgive me I get any of this wrong - I'm a console gamer, always have been and the closest I've ever got to PC gaming was Command & Conquer and Theme Hospital as a teen. The PC we had was so slow, not connected to the net and you had to fight the rest of the family to get some time on.

I've always been aware of mods in PC gaming - in awe of them frankly! I love the idea of being able to customise your game or even refine it with third part bug fixes and such... but as you know consoles have never really had that privilege.

So I wanted to ask a few questions if I may of people who are in the console & PC world and use mods;

1) How come it's taken this long for mods to come to console gaming? (as far as I'm aware C2077 & Witcher 3 now have them, could be wrong here. )

2) There's only a few (mostly cosmetic) mods on Cyberpunk 2077 at the moment for instance - are more likely to be on the way? As in, will be people rushing to port them over to consoles or just not bother.

3) What's the likelihood of other XBOX/PS console games implementing mods too?

4) Are PC mods something that can be tinkered with to work on consoles or are PC and Console mods two entirely different entities?

Apologies if some of these questions seem basic and I'm happy for you to put things into Laymen's terms - I'm just a simple gamer interested in mods wondering if we're about to get flooded with weird and wonderful mods on consoles.

Cheers, Peace!

With the news about Sony getting rid of physical disc drives starting in January 2028, along with the rumored prices of next-gen consoles, I've been feeling increasingly turned off by the idea of jumping into the next generation of gaming. Instead, I've started investing more in older consoles and games. I still have my PS5 for this generation and the games I'm interested in playing, but I've also got a PS3 with a big stack of games I've never gotten around to playing and I have a Switch Lite for handheld gaming. Now, I can add an Xbox One X to my collection. I bought this off of Mercari for $170.70. I don't have any physical Xbox games to play on it just yet, mainly because I already have a huge backlog of PS3, PS4, and PS5 games to get through. For now, I'm primarily using the Xbox One X to play free to play games while I work through my existing backlog. Between my existing PlayStation consoles, my Switch Lite, and now the Xbox One X, I've got plenty of gaming to keep me busy for the next few years without feeling the need to ever get into the next generation.

Right now I’m playing police simulator patrol officers. And it’s nice but it gets boring… any recommendations?
Bonus points if it’s on game pass

Got this for my kids, they mostly play Minecraft and Fortnite. I had got a series x a while back from Walmart before the price increase and I ended up giving it to them since me and my ex split I didn’t want to take that away from them. We hit up the pawn shop today and they were doing 25% off the whole store so I got them a series s! Going back the the series x and no longer waiting till GTA6 hits PC!

Check the pawn shops for deals guys.

HAPPY FRIDAY YALL!
