I brought a skin from Dbrand for my S20+ and had to spend $5 more to get free shipping worth $8, so I chucked one of the top skins for the Xbox Series X in since it was one of the only things available for that price.

Pretty happy with how it turned out, they should come from factory like this. Might have to get the sides (most likely in a different color) to complete it.

Looks pretty good. Would look better if you tucked the release strings for your TV bracket up out of sight... OCD triggering in 3... 2... 1...

FIFY...

They are hidden from my MVP by the small storage room that is the Emotiva C2, so I'm not fussed!

Could someone please clarify for me what controllers in the picture below are the latest of the bunch. The wording has me somewhat confused.

After a bit of google searching, my guess is:

(1) Elite Series 2
(2) Xbox Wireless Controller (because of the D-pad and three middle buttons)
(3) Xbox One Controller Wireless
(4) Xbox One Wired

I'll be buying two with the purpose of gaming on PC, but want to make sure I get the newest version (minus Elite Series 2).

Thank you.

Pretty much as you listed is their order. The new generation just added the share button and made them all the faceted dpad. The older Xbox one controllers will still work on pc regardless so worst case scenario you just get the different dpad and lack a share button. Mighty ape actually have some of the new ones for sale for $80 at the moment.

Cheers for the reply and info. I took advantage of The Warehouse $15 off gift cards, so hopefully TWH has em on sale soon 😎

The warehouse and mighty ape had some stock pop up earlier in the week apparently. The guys on cheapies were chasing the warehouse ones and sounds like warehouse had about 400 come in. Mighty ape came and went in about an hour though as they publicised their ones on Facebook. As they both got an assortment I'd half expect other retailers to have a batch on the way any day now.

It's very weird they aren't easy to find on their website. Stocks still there though 24 hours later. I just walked in to Hornby and asked for one. I'm sleeping on it before opening it though, feel like I got a bit caught up with the availability and hype and light it on impulse after telling myself I didn't need it, so considering taking it back under the 7 day return period once logic kicks in.

I only had a one S digital and games like jedi fallen order were incredibly frustrating with frame rate issues, I stopped playing because it kept stuttering and slowing down and thought I'd pick it up again when I got a series s or X and those problems were patched out.

At least I probably won't be buying games as I've still got 2½ years of gamepass and enough ms rewards to add another 4 months on with another EA play code. We've also not long had a little one so it will be nice for my gaming time to be in the games not loading screens. The one S UI is just slow now. Also considered selling the old one s but at $250 on trade me with no one putting them on their watch lists at all o dk t think it's worth bothering. The controller's are worth $100 new so o night just chuck it on the bedroom TV or office monitor to us as a media player more than a console. I'm still wanting ms to add series X remote play and/or xcloud at series s/X quality to the one s so it has a bit more purpose in life, don't did it with PS5 to PS4 so it could happen.
