My gawd..when you really look and read the internal spec's....you could not TOUCH even one component in the P.C. world for $600.00 bucks...not the GPU this 12 Teraflop beast will put out. So, ....I'm 'can't beat them, JOIN them' sold...lock, stock and barrel. I fold.... Post Edit: I'm having a blast sorting out my add on's., flight stick, pedals, and keyboard.....and man, they are not second cousins to the P.C. world...not on your life...this is getting fun!

August 2, 20214 yr I like the concept of the Xbox version but for me there are a few issues. Xbox won't support my monitor in native resolution - 3440x1440. Xbox won't support my Track IR. Xbox won't my Elgato Streamdeck. Xbox won't support my VKB stick and rudders. VKB won't support my Virpil throttle. Ultimately, depending on your current set up, there may be a number of concessions to be made. Ryzen 9800X3D, RTX 5090, 64GB, Win 11. MSFS2020. Moza, MFG, Fulcrum & Virpil controllers. Quest 3 for VR.

Like I said it's a good low entry cost (relatively) 2nd second option if you dont want to go all out on a PC. Especially with the inflated GPU prices. Edited August 2, 20214 yr by joec63 Semper Fi

Where, oh you mean ones in stock? ...yeah...I have a paid order reserve in, for when it comes back into stock...will be notified. But they are released for sure! It is a store pick up only, You can't order them from the on-line warehouse. You might with the S version, but that I did not check or look for.... Edited August 2, 20214 yr by Sesquashtoo

I have that resolution in front of me right now, but will be mostly using this on my 4K 60 inch flat screen, and I also have an older 1080P 27 inch monitor as back up.🙂 Edited August 2, 20214 yr by Sesquashtoo
August 2, 20214 yr Just now, rtodepart said: Question for the box experts wallyworld (walmart) has a “black edition “ xbox for almost 900$ what is this ???? Just my guess as I've seen Walmarts website and it has a lot of "3rd Party Content" I would guess someone trying to scalp a Series X. There is no official Black version that I'm aware of. Just be careful on what you buy anywhere when it's not a normal distribution channel. Should be Series X , not a Xbox one ( Released in 2013) Semper Fi
