@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 😂

@Kaloudz Yeah probably, they ran trials in Ireland and somewhere else i cannot remeber but cannot have worked out

@Banjo- Yeah, When's Shadows coming 😂

Extra fiver, not ideal at all but at least they have given us a bit more in compensation, they could just have raised it and done nothing more....

I've tried a few and some are quite fun still

Well i haven't given up on them Yet, next Gen we shall See

@ZuneTattooGuy Oviously so late to this party but there are still some games that are only backwards compatable physical, do we want to just lose these?

Always Welcome, Mate, Congratulations should alway be shown for game completions 😁

@Coletrain Hahahahahahaha, Nice, had a Mate from up that way (lost contact when he retired and moved back there)

@Fiendish-Beaver AH Maybe i should listen to You about Chronos 😂

@Old_Man_Harper Had no interest in Subnautica, then speed ran though it with console commands when they did the 10,000 gamerscore for reward points (remember when they actaully wanted us to have them 😂) wish i hadn't as looks MUCH better than i assumed it would be

@GemDog669 Ahhh, any big game i seem to stall before finishing, stalled on this and REALLY do need to get back to it

@Isca Nice, once my Gears phase is done may well play this next 👍

@johndoe89 Ah Boo i really wanted this to be good

@Kaloudz Well Done!!

@somnambulance Depends, if you were me those games you already have would probably last me until next year, although never stopped me buying games i have yet to play, so either way, Go For It 😂

Gears 2 done, so onto Gears 3, GREAT FUN: on the one hand should have played them years ago, on the other hand, Really Enjoying them now so no harm done 😂

@Kilamanjaro Yeah but even for them there will be a limit in the future, unless they just stop making them at some point and keep making games, which i wouldn't complain about

@Coletrain Great to know your not from the uk as butter is hard as rock here 🤣

@NeoRatt yeah moore's law ended for consoles last gen, meaning that while they can't shrink the die like they used to,they can get more improvements but at a greater cost, so future gen's will be interesting, no much better but more expensive 🤣 Unless they do something different to attract people... All i keep thinking is if someone went back a gen or two and made a mordern version of those consoles, where games are cheaper to make and take less dev time.....

@Questionable_Duck Yeah, only realise this when i watched the show, Great News, odd though, did it say pre order physicals??

@BattleMonkey 🤣 I need to learn to read, £800 well now 🤣

Also, who in the UK remembers $300 = £300 for console prices 🤣

£500 for it in the UK isn't bad at all considering the Switch 2 price, damn shame i'm skint for all eternity 🤣👍(well 4.5 years to go now)

@OldGamer999 Hell Yes it is!!

@Vipor007 Limited Run will probaly do one eventually 😂

Roll on Thursday, can't come soon enough!!

Yeah watch it live all being well 🫡

@AverageJoseph Same for me!!

Keeper and Outworlds 2 (still need to get back To Ninja Gaiden 1, beat it on original xbox but that was a hot minute ago 🤣)

@Kaloudz Not really done any grinding so maybe that's my problem 🤣

Seems to be at 11am on a Thursday, so maybe i can get away with it at work (stick on a headset and everyone thinks you are on a teams meeting 🤣👍)

@Kaloudz Is it? Boo was going to watch it live 🤣

@Kaloudz Eh, i'm stuck on the old bloke with the cane 🤣

For no apprent reason Gears 2, Loved 1 back in the 360 days, beat it twice then again in co-op, cannot fathom why i never went back but played a bit of 5 for acheivements back when MS Rewards wanted them for points (remember that, crazy i almost miss doing them 🤣👍) and really enjoyed it, so vowed to get back but that was an age ago; Still holds up and Looks and Runs Great on Series X, just killed the BIG Fish 🤣 Also Crazy we have had 2 remasters of 1 and 2 & 3 have had nothing

Also, thinking about it, I think current tariffs are 30% and NONE OF THESE PRICE RISES EQUAL 30%, they are all less, so MS is eating some of cost, just not all of it
