What? How?!
£800 for telly, it's from a higher range apparently and has well good stuff on it that makes everything look snazzy and that - ue55mu7000t is the model code.
http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/samsung/samsung-mu7000£50 for stand. Reduced!
£450 for XBox One X.
Equals £1300.
It is all set up and everything is working, the One X setup was painless. One 900MB update and a reboot was all it needed. Logged in with my old 'ChoppoTurnip' account from the 360 days and it's brought over quite a few of my XBLA games but not all.
Burnout Paradise Remastered has been bought digitally for £35 and is downloaded ready to go, haven't actually played it yet though.
The media centre PC amusingly changed its res to 3840x2160 which made the icons thrillingly tiny, so I've dropped that down to 1080. (Not that the humble thing could drive anything at 4K anyway, even if the tiddly Radeon card inside it can output the resolution.)
The One X is a quality piece of kit, very impressed with it, and the pad is excellent. The UI is super as well.
Later on I might actually play a game on it.
Oh yes there seems to be MODERN TRICKERY going on as the telly knows it's got an XBox One plugged into it for example, and there appears to be a bit of crosstalk between them on certain things. Which I like.
Ahhh and finally, the telly has just two wires coming out of it, the power cable and a special Samsung cable that goes to an external in/out box that you put all your inputs into, the digital output is from that, and so on. And they've built little channels into the back of the telly and one of the feet so it looks like there are no wires coming out of it at all.
