@Mundaney Rewards on Xbox and online then game pass challenges. You can also get someone to gift you 5000 points a month. My son does this. I'm mega OCD about doing it. Got it to a fine art. Searching is easy as just put a-z a couple of times. Saved in my search history so easy to blast through. I've had 3 months game pass and £65 worth of points since November.

Re: Talking Point: What April 2021 Xbox Games With Gold Do You Want?

@Dezzy70 I pay £8 for my phone, have to pay £20 for internet, don't touch sky and what is this gym you speak of? Luckily got ultimate due to a cheap offer a couple of years back, energy drink offer of 4weeks for £1.50 2yrs ago (was buzzing for weeks) and now Microsoft rewards top ups. Don't see the point of gold but sure others are happy to have it.

Re: Indiana Jones Game Will Not Affect Todd Howard's Focus On Starfield And The Elder Scrolls 6

Do not drop the ball on this. I rate Indy more than Star Wars and am a massive Star Wars fan. It's just an amazing set of films. Seeing last crusade and crystal skull at the cinema in a group including my late mum holds so many memories. Indiana Jones is just great pulp adventure. My son has started watching and so the circle is complete. I want a game that can give me all those feelings while entertaining me. Not much to live up to in the beermonkeys eyes then...

Re: Talking Point: What Are Your Favourite Xbox Demo Disc Memories?

Beermonkey

I'm old so zapp 64 tapes and writting out pages of code for free games are a fond memory. Amiga floppy discs (if I didn't like the demo could always use the disc.) Tekken PS1 demo. Metal gear solid 2 demo in zone of enders. Dreamcast demo discs with some cracking games. Xbox 360 demo discs (loved the L4D theme that came on one.) Demo discs (tapes and floppy discs) rule!

Re: Reminder: The Huge Xbox Countdown Sale Ends Today (Jan 3rd)

Beermonkey

Was going to use some reward points but decided to add to my Game Pass subscription instead. Between my series X and Switch I've got a huge back catalogue I'm not even able to play. Cyberpunk also waiting to be played more than the couple of hours I've been able to put into it. We really are spoiled now a days and still manage to moan about releases...

Re: UK Retailer Criticised For Expensive Next-Gen Console Pricing

@Medic_Alert "some"... I've seen some very interesting characters over the years in CEX. When they were first Computer Exchange I used to get some great imported games. Now the place stinks and has headache inducing music. Used to love buying HD DVDs from them for pence when it was free postage as loved the fact it cost them more to send it to me than I paid for it.
