Im also tempted to get a XBOX my local bestbuy was sold out . 

I called my local Best Buy, and got one as a paid 'in reserve'. I will be notified when it comes in, and then will have to go to the store and pick it up...and then---> BRING THAT BABY HOME!~ 🙂 My choices of flight gear can all be ordered on line and home or locker delivered. My poor wife won't be watching too much on the 4K 60 incher...unless she drugs me or brings out the rolling pin and starts swinging!!!....lol!

Thanks, will look into, but won't deter, as I have other screens spread over the house, lol.  Cheers!  I ordered one this afternoon. 🙂  Now, only have to get the email that it's ready for pick-up. I'm now on a critical mission on-line stick, pedals, and keyboard sortie....

That's nice that you can reserve one. Not sure the US stores are doing that

I had to pay, you know...where they don't tab your C.C. until it is in the store and you actually, physically pick it up. I'm going to request two security guards walk me on each side to my car.... :(!

Will support 1440p but not full UWQHD resolution.

If you expand the 4K UHD, we can get 3440x1440.  It ramps to that and higher. You and I fit inside that top end reso range.

 I got this from an older site, and the X Box X does support VR, so no longer 'unknown' for when this site posted this.

The Xbox is capable of driving the resolution, it just doesn't support the UWQHD ratio i.e. 21:9. It will run at 16:9 ratio and you will have black bars at the sides.

Ah...I see what you mean.  Ok...so I'll either only run it on the actual 4K 60 inch, or run it on my back up 1080P.  I guess, with typing that...if I have two black bars on either side of my wide view...it's probably the same as running it on my older 1080P. That wouldn't truly be a problem. At least not for me. Not with what I gain in this deal.  🙂

Xbox won't support my Track IR.

Oh man..... how on Earth could I have forgotten about that.  Yeeah, I've used TrackIR exclusively with FS since it's release in 2004, so XBox is out for me, but looking forward to following Sesq's journey to the dark side!   The numbers certainly seem to add up, and I'd really consider it if it weren't for TrackIR being a 100% non-negotiable for me.

Can't quite believe what I'm seeing here. Microsoft has screwed this pooch so badly that people are actually going to buy Xboxes just to get a version of MSFS that operates as promised? Tragic
