Re: Here's A Complete List Of All Price Increases Coming To Xbox Game Pass

Can’t justify it anymore. The price difference in New Zealand is quite large and this is coming in a time our groceries are also 30% more expensive than a few years back.

Been GP since day one but just cancelled. I sometimes go weeks without playing any GP titles anyway and have tons in my physical backlog. I also play a lot on switch, and rarely play online so even that isn’t a huge loss.

Best way to tell companies what you think is with your wallet - maybe one day in the future I’ll resubscribe but at $350 (NZD) per year I’d rather buy 4 AAA games on launch physical with the ability to sell them again.

@sib to be honest I promised myself 3 days ago I’d buy no more games because I have 100+ games on the backlog hahaha

Apparently it’s a lot like Link to the Past so that’s where I got excited. I’ve had multiple people tell me it’s the best game they had played in a long time! And for NZD22 I decided that was worth having in the backlog. So far hasn’t been on sale at all yet.

@InterceptorAlpha haha all I think of when I think of Zune is poor Steve Balmers kids wanting an iPod but their dad forcing them to have a Zune instead!

I was very keen on my iRiver back then. Amazing how the disruptors got disrupted with music streaming though. Can’t imagine it any other way now!
