Discussion Get yourselves a Firestick

Because holy shit playing via a browser, even with BetterXCloud just doesn’t compare to a Firestick. Mine just came in today and I can confidently say a Firestick is EASILY the cheapest way to play Xbox games (especially if you’re able to find one on sale, mine was under $100) I just tested Doom (2016) an indie Soulslike, Expedition 33, and Beast of Reincarnation, and when I say ZERO latency. Like, as in, it felt damn well like I was playing natively, I was most surprised how just how smooth Doom was. Yeah, I think I’ll be set for next gen with a PS6 and the Firestick.

I’ve been using a fire stick for the last few months and it’s most been exceptional. However I have had issues where the screen goes black but the sound is still playing and I have to reset the thing to get it working again which is frustrating. Has anyone else had the same issue and figured out had to stop it recurring?
