I heard about the refreshed Xbox Series X on GameLinked as thats where I get all of my gaming news. lol But as you can deduce from the title, I'm a bit disappointed that it's digital only. I understand that discs for modern consoles act simply as glorified download codes, but like I want my wall of plastic cases! XD So I was pondering if this is actually a bad thing though. There is the concern of ownership for certain, but like maybe this isn't a bad thing? Steamdeck is digital only and the PC space has effectively been digital only for years now. Has the time come? Am I old now? Is it just an old woman yelling at the sun when I say I want and will continue for as long as possible to purchase physical media regardless? lol Though I was curious as to people's thoughts on the subject manner. Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing? Also is Riley really that white? Him and I might have something in common after all! XD

I am modding my Gamecube and replacing the digital AV port with an HDMI port. I de-soldered the port to remove it and after doing that, this the current state of the board. Does this look fine or did I ruin the board? I'm a bit of a beginner at soldering and modding but I'm interesting in learning more, I have done some soldering before but it was very basic stuff, like adding a modchip on game consoles or replacing a speaker on a gameboy and doing backlit screen mods on gameboys. Things like that, but not something as complicated as this.

Hi everyone, Sorry for this rant post. I am a casual gamer who games 1-2 hours each week, so I bought a Xbox Series S in November 2020. Unfortunately, while the Xbox was plugged into a surge protected power bar it would not turn on one day. Took it to repair shop (uBreakIFix, was told by microsoft to go there) and got it checked. They told me the 5 Amp fuse is broken and there is a shot in the motherboard. All in all it cost me CAD 180 to get it fixed. It was a frustrating experience for me as it was my first console I ever bought and I used it so less before it got damaged ( I was also away for 6 months in which it was packed up and put into a box). Anyone else has similar experience in the past ? Are there any steps I can take to prevent this in the future (example getting a highly rated surge protector bar or plugging into wall directly ). Thanks and Happy Holidays ! -
Is RT necessary on your gaming session? -

So I am currently at my local used games store and I have enough money for either a GameCube, a wii with almost every accessory, a ps2, a ps3, or an Xbox 360. I need help choosing because I’m indecisive as all hell. Just something to note though, I do not have an Xbox account, and I do not want to pay for Xbox live, however the games on it might be good enough to warrant a purchase of Xbox live. thanks for helping me choose

DirectStorage, which lets your GPU access your SSD directly, has promised to make games better for years now. While it’s been on Xbox Series X since launch (and PS5 has its own version), now we’re finally getting it for PC. Why was it worth the wait?

Heya guys, first time posting but couldn't think of a better place to ask about advice in his matter. My wife and I will be moving into our own apartment soon, and we're looking to get a new TV for the living room. Requirements are: Be OLED Support HDMI 2.1 (we own a Playstation 5, so at least one port would be good) Between 55-65' in size From looking at past videos on the LTT youtube, I think Sony, LG and Samsung TVs are dominant in the market. So if any of you got some good recommendations, I'd love to hear them. Have a wonderful day, thanks for reading!

I was curious as to why some game developers are completely uncapable of adding keyboard and mouse support to their games. I was curious as to if anyone had at least some insight as to why this is the case. I feel like we have gotten to a point where consoles have become powerful enough to the point where if your only objective is to play video games, it becomes way more worth it than pc gaming. HOwever, games such as Doom Eternal, are exclusive to the controller, and that is a game that is pretty much optimal to play on a kbm. Not only that but ID seems to be a relatively good and engaged group, that cares about their work, yet even they completely ignore fan suggestions to add Keyboards to their game. I really can't figure it out.

Hey is there such thing as an adapter that makes USB Audio & Mic work on the Series X just like there is for Controllers on CronusMax and Titan which tricks the Xbox into thinking it's an Xbox Controller? I wish to do this for Xbox games that support Keyboard & Mouse like Sea of Thieves and others and I'll probably use my Roccat SOVA Lapboard for Xbox as got 2 USB ports (1 for Mouse and 1 for my Soundblaster G1) or use my Yamaha AG03's 3.5mm port. Closest thing I can think of is USB wire the Xbox Controller to the Xbox and connect the 3.5mm port to the Controller.

I've got a Crucial Question. A very Big question to ask you people. Seeing as this system is Completely obsolete in 2021 and I don't have money to upgrade, A lot of people here would probably laugh their heads off knowing that this doorstop is still being used today. Anyways, Here's my question: Does anyone know what size fan the Xbox 360 SLIM Uses? I'm upgrading my units fan to a better one, and I don't know what size to get. Please, Please Kelp Me.

Long story short i wanted to watch an old movie I had on a DVD and plugged the thing in my PS4. I got carried away and ended up not watching the thing but leaving the disk inside the PS4 and when i went to pull it out I noticed a spot on it of what seemed like to be mold. What i am more worried about is did I infect the disk drive in the PS4 and now there are tons of spores in the console? Dose anyone have a clue about it?

Hi can you turn off 4k on 4k enhanced games to just play in HD Can you do that?
-
So I have always wanted a PS4 to play the PS exclusives but never could afford one as they are quite expensive in our country. The used market isnt that cheap either. However when the PS5 hits the stores im expecting many people would sell their PS4s to upgrade to the PS5 and as a result im hoping the prices will go down a bit lower. My biggest concern however is their reliability. The last console I had was an Xbox 360, had 2 of them and both got RROD. I really dont want to go through another one of those situations as consoles are pretty much un-repairable to my experience because everything is on the mobo. Is it 'safe' If i were to get a used one of those early 500gb PS4 models or even the ones that came later?

we are getting a ps5 and I've heard that some games will give you the option to run it at 1440p for better performance but how will it look on a 4k screen? since 1440p is a weird resolution how will it look in a 4k 65" screen? (specifically in an LG CX in game mode). will it look blurry? since they'll have to convert two pixels into one.

[Which one of them would you prefer if...................] I am planning to buy a new console for myself and this is going to be my first console. I've played before in consoles in the past but I've not owned one. I'm from India and the cost of the consoles are way greater than what it is in other countries. Xbox Series S (INR- 34,990 ie.,$475.52) and PS5 digital (INR- 30,000 ie., $407.70) Some key points - I don't have a 4K TV or monitor now and think that would also not get one in the near future I am not a serious gamer and I'm also not gonna look for each and every minor in-game detail The budget is really a concern for me 1080p resolution is enough for me I am also gonna buy a laptop capable of "light gaming" and hence I think that XBOX Game Pass is really a good deal ( not sure if it is available in India or not) Which choice makes more sense ??????????????????????? And by the way PS4 pro works just fine for me.

Summary Just a few months before the estimated release of the Xbox Series X (and maybe Series S), Microsoft has discontinued the Xbox One X and Xbox One S All-Digital Edition. They will both be available until current stock is completely out. The Xbox Series S (with the disc drive) will remain available. Quotes My thoughts I am surprised that they would stop production with so much time before the estimated release of Series X. Especially since the Xbox 360 was discontinued many years after the Xbox One was released and the Xbox One was only discontinued when the One S was available. I am guessing that the Series X will be available sooner than previously thought. Sources cnet techradar The Verge

Title pretty much says all. I want to get into the older console gaming to relive my past. (Since I wasn't fortunate enough to have & experience all the great games during these times. Early '90's on up.) I do have some knowledge about consoles, but not much at all. So there's bound to be certain questions since I'm learning as I go. I'll start off with a question that I haven't gotten a direct answer for. (Even from searches via Google, Bing, Youtube, etc.) As far as console gaming goes, are 8-bit games better overall or are 16-bit games better overall? That's just for starters. If anyone wishes to help me out, either comment on the post or you can directly message me. Thanks! -
Is buying a quad-core with HT a mistake? Or a hexa-core with SMT for that matter? Since next generation of consoles will have 8, should gamers avoid quad and hexa cores or is the 8 core Zen 2s in the new console downclocked so much PC gamers should not even worry?

Hello LTT Forum comunity, Since the Xbox Series X will have the capability of being able to have a HDD drive connected to it to store next generation Xbox Series X games on , but won't be able to have them be played straight from that HDD drive , it should still be possible to connect a external SSD drive up to the console via USB to house games on, But more importantly for the time being... Being to be able increase the copy & transfer speed times of games from a external SSD to the internal SSD drive & the proprietary external SSD expansion card ? So weather or not the external SSD connected via USB is capable of having the games played directly from it , until proper compatible drives are released on the market. You should still be able to get the added benefit of faster written transfer speeds from SSD to SSD then what you'd typically get from a SSD to HDD drive , correct? Such as using a M.2 NVME SSD enclosure connected via Thunderbolt/USB - 3 to USB 3.1 or a 2.5" SSD drive Bay down to a regular external SSD drive should work fine to increase the transfer/copy rate from the External drive to the internal Drive ? I'd been discussing it with some friends , And we're just looking for a bit more of a Definitive answer. But logically if you can connect > House > Transfer to a HDD drive , then you should be able to do the same with a SSD to increase transfer speeds. But how much Quicker is it going to be & is it possible to get the time down to pretty much instantly transfer or at the very least down to a Few seconds 10-30 seconds. As we get closer to to release of the Xbox Series X & PS5 I'm sure this is an issue that's going to be brought up quite a bit. As I'm sure people aren't going to want to wait the same amount of time to download a game to transfer from drive to drive & are going to look for a solution in order to minimize that time as much as possible. Thank you for your time , I hope you, your family, friends & Colleagues all remain safe & healthy during these Unprecedented times . -
So I decided I wanted to go back to my PS2 and play some older titles again during the quarantine period. I have one of the big boi PS2s, not a slim. Upon setting up my PS2, I had to do some dust removal, as its been a while since I've touched it. Most discs read without issue e.g. Gran Turismo 3, GTA San Andreas, Juiced, and other classic titles; however, my Gran Turismo 4 disc has issues. Although having minimal scratches, and being cleaned, the disc reads for about a second then stops. Is this an issue with the PS2 or with the disc? I would assume the PS2? Considering the disc is in really good condition. If anyone could help troubleshooting, or if someone knows the issue then a response would be very much appreciated. System Information: Console: SCPH-30003 R Browser: 1.20 CB Player: 1.20 PlayStation Driver: 1.10 DVD Player: 2.10E (This information may be useful for someone who knows more about the console than me, I don't really know).

So Cyberpunk 2077 is officially delayed until September, what a bummer. I've been anxiously waiting and it finally felt like it was close as the OG April 14th release date was was almost here. Some articles have said it's due to the game running poorly on current consoles and issues with Stadia, the official tweet from CDProjekt says otherwise. I don't know what to think about it, but I feel saddened for sure. What do you guys think about it?
