Treated myself (again)

Ok, so at the moment, we have no less than FIVE xbox one's in the house, all well used and munching up the kwh every day.

On a whim, I decided to treat myself today, after seeing the trailer for Forza Horizon 3..

So I popped out to Argos and bought xbox one no 6..

However this was the one S, so 4k hdr etc.

First impressions? It is TINY compared to the others, no "power brick" as built in psu. Silent, cool running and smaller than the latest Sky HD box..

Onto the games... I bought the bundle with the three minecraft games (downloads) included, for £219, plus Forza Horizon 3 for £28. This worked out better than paying £250 for the bundle with just forza, as the kids get 3 minecraft games.

FCUCK ME! The graphics are unbelievable on this thing..

Have spent the last 5 hrs killing all sorts over varying terrain. The M4 and X6M have been particular faves..

WHAT A GAME!!

Mike

You using a ffb wheel, shifter and pedals? I use a trusty and well-used Logitech G25 set. The newer G29 looks nice. That should be ur next treat if u dont have it yet

Project Cars on the PC does it for me. The LOD is insane.
I'll also never stop using GTR2. Game folder inc mods is 150gb!!
I also learned how to drive the 'ring on it before I'd ever been there. The reality matched all those hours spent on the sim. It was uncanny. Esp the negative camber bends. I'd recommend a few hours spent on a decent sim before taking your p&j for a few laps there, if only to get familiarised.

Forza horizon 3 is great isn't it. My son had it for christmas and occasionally he lets me have a go. I've tried to get him to buy the Z4 but he doesnt just to play me up

3pm is my usual wake up time. Although i can justify that by working permanent night shifts.
