Series X is my first ever Xbox console and I almost didn't buy it because of the need for AA batteries. I bought rechargeable batteries and it lasts so much longer than the garage PS5 controller. I'm a Nintendo fanboy, but the Xbox controller is by far my favourite.
@edgar14 That doesn't make any sense. They obviously don't want to be making a loss on any console sales, so have raised the price. They would only have kept the price lower if they were desperate to sell consoles, which they clearly are not.
@Kaloudz I agree entirely with this, but the problem is the amount of games that release now. In the 90s I'd play a 7/10 no problem because it's a good game, but now there's so many 8/9/10 that you feel like anything beneath that isn't worth playing. I'm not saying it's right, it's just a reality.
Oh wow, something that MIke Ashley owns is operating in a scummy manner? I'm shocked! I know most of the Scottish contributors on here are in favour of Celtic, but even they must know how horrific Mike Ashley is.

Re: Poll: So, Are You Playing The Outer Worlds 2 In Early Access?
I'll never pay to play a game early. As far as I'm concerned, this breaks the promise of first party games being on Gamepass on day 1.

Re: Next-Gen Xbox Partnership Will 'Push The Boundaries Of What's Possible', Says AMD Exec
I love my Series X and I don't like playing on PS, but I just can't see me buying another Xbox console. It makes absolutely no sense.
Re: Review: Rematch (Xbox) - A Highly Addictive Blend Of Rocket League And Real Football
@trev666 You own an Xbox but not Gamepass? You're doing this wrong.

I don't think Microsoft care about how many consoles they sell now.

Re: It's That Time Again! Your Xbox 'Year In Review' 2024 Is Now Available
@king_bear You need an internet connection to use this site, but it hasn't put you off coming here for a moan.
Re: Microsoft Is Now Advertising Pretty Much Every Gaming Device As An Xbox
@AgentGuapo Forget about that, I want to know if my Alarmo is an Xbox.
Re: Xbox Game Pass's PowerWash Simulator Gets Even Weirder With New Shrek Crossover
By just revealed, do you mean revealed weeks ago in the Nintendo partner broadcast?
Re: Xbox Is Bringing Cloud Gaming To The Amazon Fire TV Stick
It was already possible to do this, even if it wasn't 'officially' supported.

Re: Xbox Free Play Days: Try These Games For Free (March 21-24)
Putting trials on this instead of the full game is a joke.
Re: Deals: The Best 'Lowest Price Ever' Games In The Xbox Spring Sale 2023
Ikaruga for £1.35, that's amazing.
Re: Video: Take A Look At A Full Match Of 'Exoprimal' Before Its Xbox Game Pass Launch

@FraserG Yeah, seems to be fine now thanks.
Re: Talking Point: What January 2023 Xbox Games With Gold Do You Want?
@NEStalgia They'll maybe start with clock and work their way up to calculator.
Re: There's A Way To Save Big On FIFA 23 With Xbox Game Pass This Christmas
@FraserG When I bought it this way, it didn't start downloading and I had to do it from the app. Did this happen for you as well?
Re: Talking Point: What's On Your Forza Horizon 5 Number Plate?
I just went for BORT.
Re: Humble Games Is Bringing These Nine Indies To Xbox Game Pass At Launch
@Luigisghost669 Yes, because these are the only games coming to or are currently available on Gamepass. What a ridiculous comment.
Re: Random: Of Course, Somebody Has Made UK Bakery Greggs In Far Cry 5
@NEStalgia There's plenty of independent bakeries near me but there's always been chain stores, too.
Re: Despite Recent Confusion, Fall Guys Is Likely Still Heading To Xbox
@ObeseChihuahua2 Of course it'll require it, it's not a free to play game.
Re: Free Play Days: Try These Xbox Games For Free (Jan 14-17)
I think there's a typo in there. It says they're available until Sunday, January 14th but I think you meant 17th.
