Great set of games, but seems a bit pointless if there is nothing being added or improved. Guess it'll get the games another release on the store to try and squeeze out some more from them.

Voted for FIFA 2021 since PES 2021 was just a reskin of 2020 as they're moving to the unreal engine and they want 2022 to be their proper next gen release. I have loved master league for years but they really need to give it some attention.

Need the elite controller v3 to have haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. Though would also like to keep the trigger slider options from the v2. As it's brilliant for online shooters.

Squadrons and Football manager! Wow!

@Bowser89 a they tried before. They could try again. Though most likely is gamepass going onto the switch.

Good ones to make up for the awful gold ones.

The switch = Microsoft are buying Nintendo

4 more games to download and maybe play some day. April can only be better...

Got this when it was released free on playstation. It was quite good for about a week.

Can't see there being a new PGR game, since Forza is soo good and next motorsport version has been kinda shown. Rebrand maybe? Flight simulator is def coming out. Did viva pinata do that well previously to warrant a new version?

They did so well because they told playstation owners last year that they'd have to buy the ultimate edition to get the upgraded PS5 version. Then a couple of months later the ultimate edition is added to PSN+. Sly company

People freaking out about how much electricity a console is using. 🙄 Will be interesting when they have pushed everyone to having electric cars. Will have loads to whine about then.

Found it very meh.

@NEStalgia It's getting beyond a joke the amount of remakes or remasters. I blame GTA! 😂

Remaster everything! Modern Warfare is over a year old now. Get it remastered!

Think I'll get this at some point, when it's heavily discounted. Don't think a 6 hour game is worth £45. I'm blaming Gamepass and the free monthly games. 😂 Very wary of buying games now, as they usually end up getting added to gamepass after I buy them.

Soo glad I didn't buy the falconeer! Will be playing that as soon as it gets added.

Burnout 3, timesplitters and Jet set radio would all be awesome. Randomly, I bought the GTA trilogy yesterday for the other console...

I can't see this relating to Blooper, since the medium is already out. They seem to be talking about a game that's not released and isn't currently exclusive to Xbox.

Wish I didn't have a job and could just play through all the games. 😂

@Menchi Actually "Xbox console exclusive" is pretty accurate for games that are only available on the Xbox console. You can't get an Xbox console exclusive on a PlayStation console. Key word being "console", a PC is not a console.

Anyway, I think Microsoft really need this to be completely exclusive to Xbox (and PC 🙄) to impact Sony.

I've entered and knowing my luck I'll win. As just bought a series X from CEX. 😂 😂

I'm sure when I die GTA 5 will still be going and Rockstar won't have released another GTA game at all. It'll be like getting doom to run on a fridge, only they'll claim its a different version with some added clothes to make everyone buy it again for the 100th time.

Could be a digital version of the series X to complete with the PS5 digital. Or could be the planned name for the console refresh in a couple of years time. Xbox Series X Slim

@Blessed_Koz something sounds wrong there. 2 controllers under 1 year old are not out of warranty. As @swedetrap says you can just go onto the website to get them replaced. Same in the UK, I got mine replaced as up on the left stick stopped working. Its just a matter of logging into your account and raising a case against it.

@Anti-Matter Nice, the OG Xbox was great. Loved the green and crystal versions. If you can get an unmodded one that's been looked after you should def go for it. 360s are a bit more of a hazard when buying 2nd hand. Best getting from a store that offers a warranty. I went through 8 back in the day because of the RROD! Was there not a new dance dance game out recently or did I dream that? Hope my post didnt come across as bashing, was just suggesting sticking with those other generations.

@Anti-Matter you want kid games then go for Nintendo, that's always been the way. The Xbox has never really been geared towards that market. 360 they gave it a try but didn't really work. PS is good for the exclusives, even then I only played ghost of tsushima and fall guys on my PS4 pro this year. Why don't you just buy an Xbox or xbox 360? It's not like you can't buy them anymore. So not sure why you don't have them but have the physical games? Maybe that's the generation to stick with for ur children's and ur gaming needs. Never thought I'd read anyone pining after a kinect game. 2020 still has some surprises left it seems.

Anyway I think it's been a great year for Xbox overall. Yes there were things that could have been done better or differently. But this hasn't really been a normal year and I think the Microsoft team have done a great job overall. Think Gold really needs kick up the butt, though in saying that it did get me into the WRC games. So there were nuggets of gold (hee hee) in there. Think the series X is the strongest Xbox has ever gone into a new console generation. Mine died, but I'm putting that down to them trying to get them built so quickly. I am looking forward to being able to order another one when in stock. Gamepass is brilliant and continues to get better. The addition of EA play grew my already too big backlog even more! Happy new year everyone and roll on 2021!

It crashes on the one X as well. My series X broke before call of duty could break it. 😂

@djshep1973 Exact same with me! 😂 Was considering trying to get a refund. But then, by the time I get round to playing it, it'll probably be off GP. 😂

Ahhhhhh! I bought little nightmares a couple of weeks ago. It's not safe to buy games anymore. 😂

Oh, WRC 9 is 50% off. Will pick that up, since dirt 5 was so disappointing.

Who will be facing the bots this time?

The scalper bots win then.

As has been said, it's stupid to pay over RRP for anything. The only thing I miss about the series X is the faster load times. Though is that worth paying £450 for? Nevermind £700+!

Despite being burnt with the 1st series X, I've signed up for the draw. I never win anything anyway. 😂

@Jakovasaur Yea the DLC is probably worth it. By the time I get round to playing it, it'll have left gamepass. 😂

@ResoluteCustoms CEX are offering people more than RRP for their consoles. In the case of the series X if you give them a boxed version they give you £100 over the RRP. Not sure I agree with everything being over priced. I've found them quite reasonable for most things.

If the snipers don't stop you from getting one, the people packaging and delivering it will.

Just after I bought Control! 😭

Oh no, will need to play some more of untitled goose game!

@cbodz Cool, thanks! Will have to see if I can add another year with them. Will need to see how many years of gamepass you can build up. I'm currently sorted until July 2023. 😂

Got Control ultimate edition and now it's coming to gamepass. 😂

Also got Tony hawks, crash 4 and FIFA 21 (forgive me).

Got a year of gamepass.

@cbodz where did you get that gamepass deal? Or did you convert gold to gamepass for £1?

Setting a challenge: 2021 can't be as bad as 2020.

Craig for president 2024! Maybe he'll understand boarders more than Trump and Biden. 😂

@Bmartin001 100% mate!

Horizon is far better than motorsport. For me it's the best racing series ever. So many good memories.

So many good games. I went for GTA 3, though Vice City and SA were a lot better. But for me going from the PS1 to the PS2 and seeing GTA 3 for the 1st time it was like wow. Also think GTA 5 was better than GTA 4. I went to the midnight release of GTA 4 and stayed up to play it and was disappointed with it. GTA 5 online doesn't count.

Battled the bots originally. Not doing it again. Waiting until near the end of next year to make sure all the bugs have been sorted out.

Mine had WiFi issues, was 1/5 the connection speed of the one X. When in a race in dirt 5 it would stutter and the rumble wouldn't work. The rumble not working is a known issue that codemasters are working on. Tetris effect wouldn't start, had to uninstall and reinstall to get it to run. Though that's a game to show off your email C9 or CX in a dark room! Looks soo good! Modern warfare was unplayable, then uninstalled and reinstalled it. Was a good bit better but still stuttered quite a bit. Then 5 days later the series X died. I got a refund from Microsoft as they didn't have any that they could send out to replace it. 🙁

Went through something like 8 360s! Was cursed by RROD! Still loved the console though.

@BraniclesUK Do they need to though? At the end of the day it's you that's going in to buy tech from them. They're not like PC world, they're not there to push you into buying anything. They don't approach you to ask to help you or what are you looking for? Everything I've bought from them I've walked in, pointed to it, paid and left.

The elite series 2 is the best controller I've ever used.
