Quote from tencin2001 :
I have the next gen console & last gen. Honestly the new one is little better in graphics like better polished & shinier & load time is little faster, but other than that it's not much a wow effect from last gen. Just upgrade to SSD on last gen especially if you have Ps4 pro or Xbox One X, it's very close graphic comparison. Yes new gen is better again but not something to wow about really.
Even with a SSD in my One X (still a solid machine), it's night and day. The Series X is a powerhouse. highly recommended.

Shoot, was hoping to drive by at 7ish in the morning to check out the line situation. Any Intel on the store in Aventura, Doral or Florida City?

Lol, thanks for the insightful response. I guess if Hialeah has a line of campers already, then the other stores in the vicinity would have them as well.
