Xbox Tax, AKA non story. It's still cheaper than the PS5 dev kits and both still supply them for free to devs

@Gabrielmpf Bet there's going to be 2 versions like last time (or this time, as they have made no announcements of price or release date 🤣)

Well she was never going to come out and say "our next xbox will be a cheap piece of cr*p" was she 🤣

@PapaGlitch Good for You, i downloaded it becuase you sounded so keen on it 👍

@Fiendish-Beaver hah, i beat 1 and 2 when they came out but think i didn't beat 3 🤣I'm 51 and my memory isn't as great as it used to be so something to look forward to might be a good excuse for frogetting the wife's birthday 🤣 Yeah wait till you play it, it's Super Stabby Stabby, hope you are a nd still enjoy it 👍

@Fiendish-Beaver Love Ninja Gaiden, not great at them but have always enjoyed them, so i'll take a run at it and you should too 😁

@PapaGlitch Both worth Playing i was just saying no one voted for it 👍

Poor old Evil West 😂

Day like this i wish i wasn't skint 🤣

I was suprised how well older games streamed worked, my internet isn't even super great but they ran fine 👍

Double Fine don't make bad games ❤️

@RiverGenie I thinks it's MS spending a reported 30 BILLION just in this quater on so called ai, they must have told every other department to foot the bill, including xbox, hence price rises and job cuts

@Fiendish-Beaver No idea why the disparity but i've always found the PS sale just too many pages of deals, i lose the will to live looking through them, but the xbox ones are small enough for me to look though happily, doubt it's done to please me though 😂

@Balaam_ Yeah, evertime it starts will wild ideas of power and cost; then both consoles end up around the same price and power 😂 The idea of a PC Hybrid appeals to me as have quite a few steam games but still prefer playing on a console 🫡

@Dimey Well Yeah but Sega just ran out of money to support the Dreamcast (and Hell I Loved it much more the the PS2) don't see MS doing that 😂

@Sol4ris Me too, at least initial as my console fund will take a while to recover 😂

@Banjo- @Nah Mate, i like those names too!!

Funny enough playing through all the Gears games at the moment and i'm on 4, REALLY Good Fun, i mean 3 is the best, but really enjoying this one!! So Glad we got it instead of another bloke raider game

@electrolite77 Bang On, nothings happened till it's happend

@Titntin I could be wrong, as like all of us (we have no links to the inner workings of MS) but what makes sense to me is rather than keep lying, they are telling the truth, or at least holding the party line BUT, they are in hock to MS BIGTIME since activision, so if MS says they need to cut staff (becuase they are betting BIG on Copliot and wasting untold money on it) then they have to make the best choice, cancelling things that have been going on too long but that they would have continued supporting otherwise, same as game pass, it was okay, so a bean counter in ms must have said, right, it needs to make more money or you can it; so then it needs to make more money and they know it's not right so stick what (realatively) cheap bits they can on for 'added value'

@Fiendish-Beaver One thing i see as a problem for both Playsation and Xbox is if they are going anytime soon, Tarrifs pushing the price up in the US bearing in mind it's a major market for both; Surely a good reason to give us what we want and hold on the this gen until, when's Trump out for good, in what, 3 years and a few months? Not saying that will definately chnage anything, but it may well

@JetmanUK Me three but won't lie, have felt like it's been a waste so far this gen

@Banjo- Yeah That makes sense, Mate

@Batfan2425 Also to test the new front end and get feedback from users (i also Love Batman 👍)

@ILuvGames Yeah this time there might be a super powerful (and expensive) one and a regular one; people say the s didn't sell, but think it's sold more than the x

I had a thought that might mess up next gen for xbox and Playstation, GTA6. Coming out in the latter half of this console gen pushing xbox one and ps4 owners to upgrade at the last minute then having no interesting in doing it again in another year or so 😮

@Gabrie and 50 something like me 😂👍

@jolteon23 You said it though, MS make the money and must thave told Xbox they need to fix up and make profit (or more profit?) from gamepass; as i see it, it's the price they pay for selling xbox's soul to MS to buy Activion Blizzard and finally be able to make games regularly (which is what they needed to be able to do) but now MS want them to make money when they say and cut jobs when the overspend on ms copliot research when they say)

@Tdx yeah as i said got it by accident and was well worth it 🤣

@abe_hikura Hah , yeah me too!!

@Tdx Shadow Complex is cassic, got confused early on and went back to the start and , well you know what happens, Great idea for an achievement 🤣👍

So after beatiung Gears one a few times back almost 20 years ago, beat 2 a few weeks back (Good Fun) 3 last week (GREAT GAME!!) and Judgement Yesterday (Good Fun) now onto Gears 4, thought it started slow but has me now 🤣👍

@awp69 Yeah, well pointed out, enjoyed a good number of those 👍

Given not everyone likes every game let's just hope those of us still staying on get a few more of those they do 👍

@Titntin Fair Play then, i do use it a lot but dropped one of my young adults to keep mine (he's got a girlfriend so doesn't game as much as he used to, ah those were the days 😂) nothing's getting any cheaper

@Kaloudz had the same but had to drop one because of this 👍

@GoodGrief Yeah, spelling and typing are not my strong suit 😂

@The-Doc Ah does not matter to me Mate, Just Hard Core not a Fan of what i see as drama, Live and Let Live though i suppose 😂

Have to be damn cheap, but suppose subscriptions with ads usually are

@NeoRatt The Voice of Sanity 👍

@The-Doc Fair Game Matey but my 74 year old mum would be the last person to pay my bills, has trouble paying her own 😂👍and i still think £22.99 is pretty damn good now they have games coming regularly and games are mostly £70 new

@Titntin Nope You wouldn't pay £360 a years as it's not £30 a month 😂£22.99

@The-Doc Over a Fiver? Farewell Hardcore Fan 😂

@Questionable_Duck Cheers will Take a Look 👍

@Kaloudz Yeah Mate including me too, Maybe this will mean they can, finger crossed

@JaffeGaffe Damn Funny 😂It was a joke, Right?

Back to what i think i said before, i get it if you finances were tight but and extra fiver and month in the uk, what a Fuss is being made 😂😂😂

Think on the whole the are just losing people who aren't really xbox fans or don't have time to play many games in which case it's not really a service made for them. i could do without the price raise though 😂

@MKCustodial https://gg.deals/games/xbox/?sort=title&subscription=432412 don't know if this is 100% right but looks it

@lechugajr Yeah probaly exactly there plan, get rid of those they don't make profit from get a bit more from those they doe, Fun while it lasted though 😂
