Have an Series X with UHD Blu Ray issues? For your reading pleasure I laboured arduously in the saltmines of Microsoft tech support for this spicy-take.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
Well that sounds like a bad situation. speaking for myself, i have not had any issues playing 4k UHD discs on my one x or series x (yes i joined the series x club recently). The ones i have tried are venom and the snyder cut of justice league (both in 4k). While not being the top of the line 4k player, they played like they should. The bluray app certainly could use some work but it does the job.
Guy at work told me he can’t play Blu rays on his SX unless he’s online . I’m not sure if that’s true for everyone or not but sounds shitty
I had a X1X and have had a Series X since January 2021. I had 0 issues with 4K BR on either console. 🤔🤔🤔 Still not okay if this is an issue for others.
It is funny though. I did read an article comparing Series X vs PS5 BR performance, after launch. PS5 came out a little ahead of SX, but it said nothing back then about failure to read disks.
No, because I don't use physical media for movies. I've been 100% streaming or digitally watching movies for at least 3 years now.
I have a Xbox Series X and i haven't any problems when watching a 4k blu ray disc i mean here and there i may have a few hiccups that's about it
