I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks it's ugly ,reminds me of my aunties old wallpaper

The new alpha skip ahead has gone one further
(Xbox Series X|S consoles) We have made optimizations to content installation and updating to enable faster download speeds while games are running.

I'm still only getting approx 800mbps , zero improvement for me

Edit; assassin's creed Valhalla's hit 896 so I guess there is a improvement

Gd about time, fed up with the wait till the broadcast is over to watch in 4k

@GrumpyGrey I wasnt thinking that ,I was more along the lines of when there is a scandal and he resigns like most mps nowadays ,they could give him a nice little job if he sorts out the acti mess

@Ephexis83 totally agree but I bet he sees the £ signs

"Can confirm there will be no movie trailers in our games show.". Meow take that Sony

It's not a prediction but I'll b doing the same as I do every year ....hope to god they announce a conker and /or banjo game

Oh no I use tmnt to get my daily play a pc game /play with friends

Edit just got it from gamivo for £3 inc pp fees

Crisis over lol

Might try get some sleep now cause god knows when midnight comes I won't b sleeping for a while

@ironcrow86 it will be fine if UK is separate ,chances are we will be able to do what we do now with new Zealand games and switch region or use a VPN
And for those who say nooooo Microsoft will stop that .....with the new Zealand time zone thing the solution was launch a game worldwide at the same time when they could have just stopped the region changing easy enough and if the CMA catch on to this and say stop it microsoft will of course argue and that could take a hell of a while

@Banjo- yep I remember some ppl calling these indie games game pass fodder

Funny how two of the ppl who decided no used to work for lawyers that worked for Sony

@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

Edit sorry tagged the wrong person

Gotta love Xboxs tweet ...oooohhhh burn

@AlwaysPlaying I absolutely love Canada but I've seen the state/price of internet first hand over there ,I'll stay in the UK

@Kaloudz I'm old enough to remember in this country when a politician lied it was a massive thing......now it's almost a normal daily thing

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

So basically this is amazing for Microsoft

@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

@Kaloudz they maybe do more on the future when they have new features but not monthly

@Kaloudz if it's wrong then I'm also wrong cause I laughed a bit when I read Ur contact mystic meg bit lol

Maybe push them in the right direction we will have to wait and see

@Kaloudz I have to say as a joke and NOT a criticism....not mystic meg on speed dial unless it to the afterlife cause she died a few months back

I remember all the jokes about she didn't see that coming

@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

@deadmaker no it's already been out a few months and nothing else yet

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).

I've had a weird glitch where my sniper rifle just wouldn't reload .it showed the animation but the capacity kept going back to zero

@Stormageddon first lot announced today

https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2023/05/02/game-pass-may-2023-wave-1-announce/

@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 )

https://files.fm/u/2nd6ed4tv

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

I plan to get it just not yet ....and To be honest I can't rip myself away from dead island 2 yet

@Banjo- yep unfortunately there are ppl like that

Dead island 2 , really enjoying it ,still surprised how good it is

I still think the deal will go through , chances are they will offer Microsoft a deal like saying don't rise the prices of game pass for a set period

@Fenbops I have blocked no time for the bs

Not played it myself I saw gameplay and not for me so that means I'm not insane ...maybe lol

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

@UltimateOtaku91 it wasn't too long ago u were putting on push that Sony should buy square and make all the games exclusive

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

@UltimateOtaku91 a service that was probably due to end sometime soon but now it's for 10 years

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

Just when I'm too busy to play ,the gaming world should evolve around my playing time lol

In all seriousness I can't wait to play and I hope those who do enjoy it a lot ,I'm sure I will once I do get to play maybe at launch
