The new consoles Xbox Series X and S are finally here! How the release went and what players say who managed to get a console can be found here on MeinMMO.
The new Microsoft consoles Xbox Series X and the smaller S version have today, on November 10, 2020, finally become officially available. At least for players who were lucky enough to either pre-order a console or still get a device at local retail.
Were there issues with delivery? Indeed, not all pre-order customers are exactly happy. On reddit, there are various reports from angry fans whose pre-orders are significantly delayed. There are several Amazon customers who were informed that the console would only be delivered in the coming weeks as the stock was insufficient. This was obviously not well-received:
- Austacker writes: “I learned a lesson. If it’s not available when you order it, never pre-order anything on Amazon!”
- OPT1CS sees the situation even gloomier: “This is going to hurt even more when Amazon takes more pre-orders and fulfills these first before the older ones.”
- Emmjaybeeyoukay is also unsure what happened to the order: “Amazon UK states delivery is scheduled for Tuesday (today), but at 03:40 AM it still hasn’t been shipped, so I have no idea what’s going on here.”
Even here in the country, many Xbox fans are still excitedly waiting at home for the liberating ring of the postman. This user here sums up what many of you are feeling right now in his tweet:
If you want to pick up a console in the store today and are worried about the lockdown, then we have more info for you here:
This is what happy owners of a new Xbox Series X or S say
Some users who managed to get a console via mail or direct purchase on site have already shared their first impressions online. Some users have even received the console earlier and were able to play. On reddit, there were various opinions regarding the new console:
- Reddit user BeejayN is excited about the improved download speeds of the new console. It apparently supports 860 Mbps.
- However, those without a strong internet connection are surprised on reddit that old Xbox games will receive updates for the Series S-X, and as long as these are being downloaded, you probably can’t play.
- User Aba0416 bought a Series S and is amazed at how small and compact the console actually is. Next to his hand, it really looks like “a console for ants”.
- Even PlayStation fans like ellbow on reddit are excited about the Xbox launch: “From a PlayStation Player/Fan, I wish you lots of fun with your new console and hope the release day goes great!”
Mourning for old Xbox consoles: The arrival of the new, superior Xbox generation is, of course, accompanied by a farewell to the old Xbox One. A reddit user has thus published a sad meme, as today many Xboxes are apparently being turned off for good.
