TryToBeHopeful

@GunValkyrian I have this with Forza Horizon 2. Is it delisted games?

@Stocksy It seems like Xbox fans like the Microsoft Public Relations and service offering in spite of the hardware (which is now basically identical), and PlayStation fans like the hardware in spite of the Sony Public Relations and service offering (I'm sure the services will get very similar).

Switch fans are just generally cheerier. Unless they're Pokemon fans.

Sony lost cred with me after all the cross-play drama when Microsoft and Nintendo were basically a big love-in.

Also their Discmans were always pretty cheap quality for the price...

@k3lt0n I agree totally. It's not the same as the two PlayStation 5s. It's so cheap, lots of people are just using it as a gamepass machine. It does feel like the XBox One S was more of an intermediate machine, whereas now we have a pro machine and a 'baby' machine, but with so many monthly payment plans available (mine's with my mobile provider and includes gamepass), it's much easier to get that pro device if you want it.

I think the main issue is people who got the Series S, because they just couldn't find a Series X.

@Grumblevolcano what’s the issue with FH4? That’s like my favourite game on the XSX.

@BartoxTharglod on the XSX it just doesn’t seem that necessary.

@Agnostic if only the forza developers knew about Microsoft APIs!

@Spaceman-Spiff and my axe!

When they talk about preserving content it makes me think, maybe the execs don’t actually know what NFTs are?

That would explain why they start to backtrack after a bit.

Because I have it, and I have access to the beta ring as well and I can see what versions available through the insider app.

It’s also on beta.

@Xboxlegend124 I’ve got it on delta. 100%

@Xboxlegend124 you can definitely get it on delta.

This has gone to beta and delta now. Just switched to delta and downloading.

This was one of the reasons I knew I’d have to eventually get a next gen console. Thankfully there’s other good stuff on the XSX so I think I’ll hold on to it.

It looks like Plus is free for anyone whoever played on gamepass?

Have people tried the beta app? No idea if there's a patch in beta. Not worth me getting 4k blurays on my relatively small 4k tv.

I want to know why bd live doesn't work even though it's an option on Xbox One S and XSX. I'm sure I'm not really missing anything.

Well made, well executed game from what I have played, but I am totally not in the place for an emotional journey! If it was more lighthearted like Donut County I probably would have finished it.

"Microsoft’s approach to subscription services and digital revenue seems to be helping them ensure that they’re not as reliant on hardware sales for the profitability of their gaming division, but it’s going to be interesting to see how those hardware sales are eventually impacted by the release of next-gen exclusives, which could one day include future Bethesda titles."

@johnvboy Epic must have stats on platforms playing Fornite that would give a good view of what supply is like?

I no longer see the green 'in stock' line, and delivery is now 1-4 Jan, so they must have supplies coming in.

There's absolutely no way to tell what is or isn't a good sign right now. What is good, is that the local pawn shop is selling XSX and PS5 for £599 right now. Too bad for them!

So odd. I got mine about a month ago from EE (so a subscription deal) don't know if it went out of stock, but I think I had it within 2 days. I'm very surprised Amazon hasn't sold out in what... 10 hours?

Even the switch? I’d say the Switch has the most compelling of all the exclusives!

Is it expected to be more or less the same on XSX and PS5?

I've had issues since the update (on XSX). Controls will stop working at my home. Very odd.

On the Switch you can just purchase the new games as DLC, I assume it will be/is the same on xbox.

A psychiatry simulator…? How could that possibly go wrong?

Who has the space!? If those are worth a dollar each, he’s got nearly $3000 of uselessness wasting space on his floor.
