@K1LLEGAL ultimate flip flopping ? Wow surely not like that would ever happen ....again and again and again lol
They messed up badly for a console maker thats always shouting about exclusives they had nothing
For me spider man was good but felt like dlc to the first one
Even if he BIG ps fans that told everyone on twitter the showcase would be so good that Xbox fans would sell their Xboxs have come out and said yeh I was wrong
Ok I see alot of ps fans celebrating over this all over the place and saying how this is bad for Microsoft and great for Sony ....but there's a few things that they haven't looked at ....Microsoft must allow cloud to everyone not a Biggie they were basically doing that anyway , Microsoft must keep the game the same as purchased ....Sony cloud doesn't do ps5 cloud so if microsoft comes out with features on current gen only that will cut off the big ps5 market for cloud streaming that some will then buy other services so they can get the ps5 current version , this forces Sony to do ps5 oud then they can say to the CMA well Sony have done current gen steaming thanx to us
And also it's says cloud game streaming not free to services like ps plus etc
And as Sony won't have exclusive cod stuff Thier customers no longer need to pay for consoles for cod they could pay Nvidia etc etc no matter where they decide to play cod Microsoft gets the lions share
@Ephexis83 I totally agree , Eurovision is political I don't get why they can't comprehend this ...that's how we do so bloody badly , most countries can't stand us
@Kaloudz your deffo not on your own when I read your post I had a image in my head of the CMA sitting round a table with a Ouija board .... I'm soooo going to hell lol
I found if on twitter about the CMA case
,I'm thinking it has to do with microsoft saying the UK is closed for business and arm not floating in the UK , it's a domino effect more will follow like they always do and the government basically saying we are going to change things ...hopefully before it's too late
@S1ayeR74 of course he could it's all about money ,you think this goverment is gonna say that's fine if a big hitter like Microsoft is going to invest less...and other companies , example Arm a British company is going to float in the US and NOT the UK it doesn't look good

Notice the steering the cma part
. We’ll encourage innovation, investment and growth by announcing two strategic policy statements to steer our regulators. This week we’ve published the first of three statements for consultation on energy policy. Next up is
our strategic steer to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA).
@NEStalgia I like the top row too ,I'm just hoping that later down the line you can customise the top , I'm thinking all my non games up there , add in rewards etc
@NEStalgia yeh maybe it will change to that by the end of testing we will have to wait and see , yeh it was my games and apps ,that the only thing I need to get use to going up instead of down to go to my games .....ok I admit I've done it about 3 times already and gone to the store lol
@NEStalgia browse your games isn't there on the dash it's the store ,still only one way to get to games and apps and that's the top (apart from the guide of course )
Using it at the moment , takes a while to get used to go up the top to get to my games and apps Instead of the first tile below ( now the store ) but apart from that I'm liking it
"Keep in mind that Microsoft also advises changing regions can potentially lock you out of changing to another one for a period" that's if you change your actual account country not for just a region change on the Xbox
One of the main reason they said no was cause microsoft could raise the price of GP once the acti games are included ...... Name one thing in the UK that hasn't gone up in price ????? Lmfao
@Fenbops I just don't like liars and two faced ppl It's says a lot about a person that will stick to what they believe
Me myself I don't hate ps I just hate what sort of company they have turned into ,I miss the gd old days when it was about getting classics out to the players
I swear this government does this to make itself look important .....it's ok the appeal will go on and by that time the goverment will lose and then try to show it's not a big thing that they lost
@Moonglow not just a foot , once they got their mobile store up and running with all the acti stuff , chances are sega will also put the Rovio stuff on that store so more money for Microsoft
I was one of those who said it doesn't look like my type of game ....I was sooooo wrong , it's addictive and I had to get the 100% and get the dlc I sit patiently and wait for more dlc for the game like a crack head waiting for their dealer to supply Thier next fix lol
Honestly if you haven't given it a go it's well worth it
@Dezzy70 it's more to with ppl going for what they know/played in the past then because of new game development They already know the game and know they enjoyed them with new IPS they don't
@BrilliantBill but its not a storefront for Xbox it's for phones ,it's a big thing seen as though we have 2 major players at the moment ....they won't b happy at all
@LX_FENIX it is worth it I get approx 30000 points a month ( more if on rewards 10 week streak ) for 10 mins per day , approx 2 months is a full priced game, that's 6 year for clicking for 10 mins a day
@UltimateOtaku91 oh ok it reads like that's the reason sort of thing. That make sense ? The deal makes no difference to other companies they are in competition with acti games now and still will be and even with cod competition they still do good sales , ok not as good as cod ( let's face it no one does that I know fortnight maybe ? ) but still gd , the only one losing anything is Sony and imho it's cause they don't accept change well ...eg how long to finally face Thier games are going to pc ? If I had a £ for every time some Sony fan told me Thier exclusive games will never b on pc I'd b buying activisin lol
@UltimateOtaku91 yeh ok ... So what your saying is these companies don't really see it as a gd deal but will say that it is just in case Thier lottery numbers come up and sony gives them money cause it's not like Sony can put the money they saved in Thier own studios hey ?
I think the biggest news from the documents is a indie developer saying that thier games sales are stagnant on ps as they don't show indie games in Thier marketplace as good as Xbox do
Not a big shock but them saying outloud that if the deal goes ahead it will give them more sales which is good for them ( as a small indie UK developer )
@Odium @LordFunkalot yeh and I don't even get why it is if I'm honest ,it just looks like a simple idea well put together .... And I can't stop playing it !!!! I've done all the achievements and still playing which isnt like me
@Odium vampire survivors is addictive like crack lol I didnt think I would like it by the looks of it but was very very wrong I couldn't stop playing it and got the dlc
@LordFunkalot it's the same for me ...mone more run ....6 hour and many runs later ...Maybe one more
@themightyant Microsoft could actually just put cod on ps and all the rest of the platforms have parity ..... We would have given u parity if u signed the deal , everyone else got something extra
We want to guarantee PlayStation gamers continue to have the highest quality Call of Duty experience
Errrr you have been offered cod for 10 years parity and you haven't taken it, like I've been saying for a while it's not about keeping cod for the ps gamers , thats just a excuse to get the ps players riled up and make it look like he's doing it all for them

And also it's says cloud game streaming not free to services like ps plus etc
And as Sony won't have exclusive cod stuff Thier customers no longer need to pay for consoles for cod they could pay Nvidia etc etc no matter where they decide to play cod Microsoft gets the lions share
So basically this is amazing for Microsoft
