I can already see it, I'll have one to many and see it on Amazon for $30 and pull the trigger. It will then take me another week or two to actually install it.
I have also done this twice but just last week my Series X overheated after a couple hours in Expedition 33. I took it out of the little cubby in my TV stand and now the fan never even kicks into high mode.
Most AAA games now are too big to fit on a single disc. I have Stalker 2 and Indiana Jones and both came with a single disc and both those games are well over 100gb.
I put 10 hours into it on PC last year and could not get past the driving physics. If this is true it probably wont get a physical release anyway so I won't buy it.
I just used my rewards points to redem $30 to Amazon and pre ordered The Precinct last night. Now I just need to finish Expesition 33 so I will have time to play it.
I beat it a couple days ago and thought it was great. My wife even watched every time I played. Hopefully some one does a physical release for this so I can buy it.
It's crazy to see so many people not care about having physical games. Even if only part of the game is actually on the disc. You pay the same for a digital copy vs a physical but you have nothing that holds any value. I have some Dreamcast games I bought years ago that are now $300+
Being able to play 5 days early means I can play over my weekend off instead of having a much more limited time on tuesday after work. Plus $9 is less than me getting Chipotle or lunch somewhere else.

Re: Talking Point: Will Any Next-Gen Xbox Have A Disc Drive?
