Turned on my Xbox to get another full screen advert for Call of Duty second time in a week, clicked off it to find my background had changed, the adverts underneath my games all for Call of Duty, and even more ads for Call of Duty when you scroll down Microsoft can ***** off.
There are other places than America that play video games a lot more, it also doesn't account for second hand sales I know companies don't care about people struggling and looking for an affordable way into gaming.
What is the point of pre-ordering anything nowadays it's not like you can queue outside at midnight and talk to other people about your hobby, plus it will probably be stupidly expensive knowing how greedy rockstar have become over the last 10 years
@Armitage85 the difference here in the UK is £15 but you get so much more with a PlayStation 5 controller, you even got more with the PlayStation 4 controller and they were the same price.
If they are cutting manufacturing costs maybe they should pass it onto the customers they already doesn't come with a battery and still costs almost the same as a PlayStation controller.
Since when do they listen to player feedback they're in the way they now because they didn't listen, everything they introduced at the start of the Xbox One generation is now implemented.
Shouldn't it say disk inbox but ***** all is on it, Xbox doesn't even use Ultra HD discs to store games on, so modern games will never fit on one disc.
Microsoft have been trying to get rid of second hand sales since they launched the Xbox One, looks like they're finally succeeding but I certainly won't be going all digital.
30 or 60 frames still the same game makes no difference to me, going from 60 to 30 is noticeable for about five minutes until your eyes get used to it, people that complain they can't play games unless they're 60 need to get out more.
