New toys this week. The iPhone X is expensive but very very good. The Xbox One X is also dear and very good but needs some new and exclusive titles to really make it sing.
Media
First proper look at Forza and it is really nice. Kept it back until the Xbox One X was released and it looks glorious in 4K.
