Re: Talking Point: What Are Your Earliest Xbox Memories?

Jimez

First memory of Xbox was playing Halo 2 multiplayer at a friends house back in 2005. Used the OG Duke, which felt too weird for my liking.

Did get a 360 myself in 2006 alongside WWE Smackdown Vs RAW, PGR3 and Kameo. Have much of my Xbox memories through the 360, which included hundreds of hours of Gears MP across the trilogy.

Re: Redfall 'Deluxe Upgrade' Leak Gives Us First Evidence Of Xbox Price Increases

@Sebatrox I'm assuming that standard editions of 1st party games will still release on GP Day 1, however I can see a rise in the cost of GP. I don't see Microsoft retracting on full releases to "game trials" personally. Could be wrong, but they'd get some flack.

Luckily this games coming to GamePass, £70 games is a little steep even for me. It's bad enough on PlayStation, to the point that unless it's something I want Day 1 I'm waiting for a sale

I can see Gamepass increasing in price. Maybe, they'll start with stopping the £1/$1 trick and cancelling Xbox Live as a separate service to Gamepass. Then only offer Gamepass Ultimate going forward.

Then when the dust settles, a small increase in price itself.

Hardware-wise, maybe the Series X will have a small increase.
