Nope. Still $25. Also, the "just for you" section sucks. It would say, "you bought risk of rain 2! So this risk of rain 2 offer is just for you." And it would be the base game i already bought.

The series s WAS great for what it was. A cheap way to get your foot in the door of next-gen($299). But now at the price they are asking($399) why wouldn't u spend more($50) for a switch 2 with exclusives and portability? Or the same and get a ps5 digital that runs the same games but better? Hell you could get a 5050 laptop(which is better than the desktop card) for a bit more. The series s at its current price point has no redeeming qualities.

Got this at launch. Great game. Gameplay is very gow-like.

Actions speak louder than words, and with the rising costs of xbox consoles, game pass, the cancelations of games and studios, the upcoming nexbox being an expensive niche product i believe Phil is just a figurehead with no power. Just spewing nonsense and bullshyte.

Watch the ps5 get a timed exclusive release because of the whole xbox series x|s parity situation, ala baldur's gate iii.

A Sony exec said that the ps5 is midway through its lifespan. If that is true then a 2028-29 would be when we start seeing specs/trailers/rumors/etc.

This just in..

..after valve's new steam reveal, ms announces the new xbox will be an "xbox" branded steam machine. /s

Ever since I got my switch, then steam deck, I found myself gaming on devices more so than the dedicated home consoles. Sitting on the couch in front of the TV, playing games now seem like an event. While grabbing a device and gaming for an hour or 15 mins seems less arduous. Also, a device allows the tv to spew your favorite podcast, show while gaming. Maybe it's the life we live now, consuming media in shorter but many more bursts, instead of one long session; multiple screens, etc.

I canceled. I was using rewards but decided to just use my last points on dying light the beast. Also, i wasnt using it to is fullest. Rarely played any games on the catalog, or even played multiplayer.

Nexbox can play pc games from steam, gog, epic, etc. So theoretically they're gonna play ps pc ports. Sony is like fcuk that. We'll build our own pc store(..with hookers and slots!) and not allow it to run on the nexbox.

Now, if someone could find a way to give me more time.

Why buy the next gen xbox version when you can buy the cheaper, better pc version? Why develop for xbox next gen when your game on pc will reach them? The nexbox pr has a real uphill battle trying to make this marketable.

No. The price is just too absurd to justify, for me. I understand all the specs, etc., just don't see $1k worth. You could get a switch2 and steam deck(used), for that price.

i called my local Walmart and target..

Yeah, and im sure the minimum wage jockey that answered the phone has all the logistics behind these stores and their partnership with xbox.😒

If this gen is anything to go by the series x/ps5 will be supported far long into the next gen.

Playstation had the exclusive perks(whether timed or not) when it came to CoD back in the day. After the acquisition, Sony chose to give that money to bf for some exclusive perks. Playstation will have an even higher user rate(consoles sold, now this).

Actions speak louder than words. And from their past actions it's a "wait and see" approach with anything xbox from now on. For me at least.

My opinion, game pass is like the gamestop/costco console bundles. Here's the console and a bunch of crap a majority of us do not want. Let me pay $5 a month for online play and party chat.

Expensive ass game pass should subsidize online play for those that don't want the bullshyte games and perks.

Not gonna buy one, but curiously how does it run docked? Similar to the series x or s?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Ms/xb is definitely up their own arses. They're trying everything to kill this gen and speed into the next one. But with these price rises(console, game pass), the price of xbox ally, just feels like they're tying to condition us for $800+ nexbox.

$120 for online play. That's ridiculous.

I wonder what the users to scalpers ratio is.

Its all about effort from the devs. Glad to see some take the initiative.

I'm guessing this will be cheap compared to the neXbox. Also, if you're thinking about getting one, just do it. It'll most likely get more expensive than cheaper.

@Fiendish-Beaver no ai squad mates. You could play solo probably up to level 6/7(or higher if you're good) . There are stratagems to call in to help even the odds. You can get a drone with guns to follow you around. Playing with randoms isn't as bad as other games. 97% of players play the objectives, and chat is not even needed. You can relay everything with the in-game ping/response system.

Damn. First gen when buying first was the CHEAPER option.

I appreciate you guys all paying to beta test this game. 🫡

Just saw this today. All my downloaded games, from gog, epic, steam, showed up on the Xbox app. Convenient, I guess.

Whatever. I've been having issues with ms rewards. They temp-banned my account because I was using their search methods for the daily searches on my phone and pc. Said it was suspicious. Soon as I get my $50 giftcard, im done. Which will be a good thing. Won't feel obligated to do the "work." I got 200+ games i havent played yet😅, so its like I have my own game pass. Time to tackle the backlog.

The other things about this seem to be a tad alarming. Ui not working properly, os not closing games when you start another(so it slows down everything because it's running two games at once), thumbsticks not responding on the homescreen, crashes, etc. It seems a lot of the teething problems the first handheld pcs had, and more than the unbranded xbox rog ally. This will be a hard sell to anyone that doesn't bleed xbox.

Let's be honest. Ms buying up studios wasn't for new games/experiences. It was to fill game pass with their catalogs. And since ms doesn't plan on using the ip they have, they should lease(or whatever the equivalent is) it out to other devs that want to see them live on.

Jesus christo! Everybody is a DF now.

@BleedingDreamer I believe the odst themed warbond isn't part of either bundle options. It'll be a separate purchase($10)/in-game grind(1000 super credits).

I'd go with the base option and just buy 1000 super credits($10). Cheaper than the super citizen edition and the cosmetics and extras aren't really worth the extra $20, in my opinion.

Anything said on docking and the output, etc.?

$899? You could get, and I'd much rather get a 4060 laptop for that price.

I guess I'll be triple dipping.

@abe_hikura when you buy a warbond, you get 300 super credits back(3 tiers, each tier on the warbond has 100 super credits), usually. And farming super credits is pretty easy. You could find 40+ a round. FIND. So just playing the game normally will get you super credits. The problem😅 is there are about 10+ warbonds now, all with pretty cool weapons and perks. So that's 10,000+ super credits, a lot of farming.

Crazy times, indeed. I'm still getting used to seeing the Sony Interactive Entertainment logo when starting death stranding on xbox.

Like I've said before, there will be more games coming to xbox from Sony. Sony wants that money before the neXbox can play steam/epic/Playstation pc games.

Lower prices, give out some free games or months of game pass ultimate.

Probably some armor and weapons. Battle rifle, sub machine gun, the legendary pistol.

Bf:bc2 was great. Bf3 is just as good.

173 games installed, from 4 gens(OG xbox, xbox 360, xbox one, series x), across multiple storages(2 hdds for older games, series x storage and 1tb expansion card).

30+ games on the ps(ps4 and 5).

70+ games on steam.

40+ games in switch.

😅worse problems to have.

If the only way I get a new xbox game for my Xbox series x is by the ps5 getting a new xbox game, I guess it will have to do.

A battle Royale and extraction mode!!

Just kidding. Go back to the original xbox/thunder island games. Better gameplay and graphics, simple.

Another milestone for game pass. I guess those 9000 employees were holding game pass back. /s

@themightyant going out at night during the early game felt like an extraction shooter. Just more sphincter clenching. Was the gear worth it? Maybe. Was the terror ever-present? Absolutely.

Bought the ascent on a previous sale. Got alan wake 2 awhile back, dlc at a different sale. Picked up marvel ultimate alliance on ebay for $8.

Even though my backlog is 200+ games(across the gens) on xbox alone.😭

Final fantasy XIII series. It would be nice if they allowed the marvel ultimate alliance series to be available for purchase. I guess more 360 and older gen games.

All these games, devs, ideas are gonna go elsewhere/start their own studio and they'll remember. Next thing you know 30+ games aren't releasing on xbox(s).

$50M better get you a game(or two) on game pass for life. Knowing how ms handles their money oh-so "wisely," was it a take-two contract? To get gta and rdr2 on game pass for a few months?

Breakdown, guardian heroes, max Payne series, manhunt, and more.
