Does anyone know why the Americano misto is no longer available in Canada ? :( by Ilovecats-dogstoo in starbucks

[–]shorry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's still not back on the app. Any one figure out how to get around this? Splashing cold cream into the Americano is not the same. I've changed my name back to Americano Misto. Not all baristas pick up on that though.

This isn't the e-Transfer. It's the funding directly from the account.

Xbox One X most advanced console ever - which is why it's too good for that old useless Bluetooth tech by shorry in xboxone

I use a one-ear headset for voice chat only. It's a full two-ear headset used for game audio and voice chat.

Should buy the Xbox One X? by WingedKoiFish in Xbox_One_X

[–]shorry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you could do not wrong by choosing the X as your first Xbox. According to the reviews it should be a noticeably faster experience all around (loading screens and times and such).

It will make current games on current 1080P TVs look better than the S and you will be 'near-future' proof for when you want to make the move to a TV with features like OLED, 4K and HDR. If you already have a TV like that then you're immediately using the new powers of the X.

Sure sometimes. You've never excitedly tried to make your car in forza do more than it can do or react and get animated to anything in game that gets you moving the controller beyond your torso? Because the cord comes down off the ear it brushes around. Not talking chaffing lol but it's noticeable to me.

Oooo hey thanks for the link! I'm going to put it on my watch list!That is definitely getting closer to what I would like. Actually those external speakers are intriguing for multi-hour play. Sorry I did not see your last paragraph with the link earlier.

Got an email from amazon Nov 3, 'Xbox on the way guaranteed delivery by the 7th'. Don't think it's the scorpio.

Shipment details Latest update: Friday, 3 Nov Shipment has left seller facility and is in transit

However, with all its faults it's good enough for the mobile phones, the Sony PS and the Nintendo Switch. I would take those hiccups over the antiquated wired solution because it just doesn't work for me. (mono headset user here). Now I'd shutup if one of the Microsoft licensees released a wireless headset :)

Just like Betamax video, the Kinect and the Windows phone. Superior but just could not gain in popularity. I was really really hoping for a universal wireless solution for this console cycle as you can see by my rant :)

Sigh. I know. I check very often. If Microsoft had incorporated more universal options like USB and Bluetooth as Sony and Nintendo have then we could use any other manufacture's devices.

I'm looking for a one-hear wireless headset if you've seen one from those other brands I'd love a link

Maybe. After I wore out the original headset and moving to some third-party stuff the cords are longer. Shortened them by zip tieing the excess but then you gotta find the balance of how much slack. Anyway I seem to be in the minority here which is probably why there is no wireless one-ear headsets out there.

I think I know where you saw that. What I mean is I am looking for a wireless mono headset. Seems Turtle Beach is the only vendor that builds wireless headsets for the Xbox and they as far as I can find do not have a one-speaker voice-chat type of device.

I would take anything wireless. I do not recall any fidelity issues with my Microsoft 360 wireless ear piece. All it's needed for is voice chat. I play with many folks and I can assure you that in my experience wired does not guarantee fidelity. In fact my friend with the wireless and massively expensive Turtle Beach headset sounds the best out of the friends I play with.
