@NoLifeDGenerate Yeah that code in the box is bull$h!t, I will never buy that.

If things go all digital next generation, I will not be participating. With 2 exceptions, if they pass legislation giving us ownership of digitally purchased content and I will purchase digital only games if they are extremely discounted like I do now. I will never ever pay full price for a digital only game. I rarely pay full price for a physical game.

@NoLifeDGenerate yeah I get that, what they started doing was only including one disc and make us download the rest of it that is beyond the capacity of one disc. I don't know why they stopped including more than one disc that included the entire game. I understand they have day one patches and updates and whatnot, but they also stopped releasing complete editions or Game of the Year editions or whatever that included all of the patches and DLC on the discs. How hard is it to throw an extra disc in there and include the entire game? Also, they need to get out of the habit of printing discs before they are complete. The world can wait for a finished product. The plastic hoarders will have something to play when these companies decide to either deny access to purchased content or shut things down. Or even worse, if the internet structure fails in some way.

@ZuneTattooGuy That is exactly what that means. If they are still printing physical media and releasing new content on physical media, the medium is not dead. On its way out and dead mean two completely different things. I agree that physical media is probably on its way out.

@PhileasFragg I'm talking about them taking away purchases because they want to, not because they're shutting down access to a game because of whatever reason. I'm talking about Sony denying you access to your purchases and/or removing them from your account for whatever reason. They have done it with games on people's accounts. They have permanently banned people from the PlayStation Network, shut down their account and taken away all of their purchases permanently. It's only a matter of time before they do with games exactly what they did with the movies recently and just decide to not have them on the servers anymore so they remove them from people's accounts. Not just Sony either, all of the companies can do this and probably will do this in the future.

@ZuneTattooGuy Physical isn't dead if they're still printing physical media.

@PhileasFragg I was just talking about Sony taking away digital purchases in general. Recently they were taking away purchased TV content and in the past they've done the same thing with TV content, movies and music. They take away digital purchased games if you get in trouble on the PlayStation Network and it's only a matter of time before they start taking away purchased games from users libraries for the same reasons they were taking away the other content. It's all rented and they can take it away anytime they want. Digital purchases are not ownership. They need to pass laws that give us digital ownership rights and get the companies to ensure the content is going to be available for a very long time if not forever.

@Kaloudz Haha, awesome

I wonder why my old ass original Xbox and Xbox 360 controllers have not gotten stick drift after all this time and all of my Xbox One and Series X controllers have. I have about 10 of each.

@Kaloudz Don't leave us hanging, which one did you decide? Haha.

@PhileasFragg Look up PlayStation or Sony taking away purchases.

@PhileasFragg Until a digital store revokes your license because they feel like it....cough...cough... PlayStation....cough. At least with the disc, you choose when you get rid of it.

@Jey887 I played through it a few months ago on Series X with zero issues. Awesome game.

@Lup Batman doesn't like you either.

@Menchi Who cares, it's an awesome game and runs beautifully on the Series X. Just enjoy it. I think we are past the point of technical nitpicking.

@K1LLEGAL You still have about 230 more hours or more to go just for the base game.

This year, I WILL become the Lawnmower Man.

@Kaloudz I also just realized by doing that and setting to where it ONLY uploads to OneDrive you would avoid any kind of potential ban like what's happening with baldur's gate because it would never go to the Xbox network.

@Kaloudz Just set the capture location to OneDrive and you don't have to think about it anymore.

@Dan1283 A comment from 2010, no thanks.

@Edwirichuu Put aside at least 6 months for Assassin's Creed: Valhalla. It's a wonderful game.

This bull$h!t, right after Microsoft is trying to tell me that my controller that came with my series x is not covered under the Microsoft Complete Xbox extened warranty. It says that it is on the main page of the website as well as in my actual warranty document. It is called complete after all. I guess I just gotta keep calling until sometime knows what they are doing. Anyways, I have my screenshots upload to OneDrive only. I was so happy when they added that feature.

@TheCrafter1578 Yea, that's a ***** show waiting to happen.

Im gonna be having a good ol' time with Spam Factory Worker and Pooper Scooper Trooper. A couple of masterpiece games to start the new year with.

Im gonna be playing North Pole Slaughter. Here is the description from the developer: Santa gets an LSD laced wish list letter and quickly finds out, he "can't handle his high". He goes on a halucenagenic rampage slaughtering the elves, the reindeer, even Mrs. Claus, as well any other unsuspecting innocent creature that dares to cross his path. Little does he know, a yeti has been watching and doesn't like what he sees. Prepare for an epic battle between a trippin' ballz Santa and pissed off yeti to satisy your holiday gaming needs.

I have a copy that was still sealed until a few weeks ago. I had a small collection of sealed games and decided to open them all and play them because I just don't feel right owning something that I don't use. So I decided to use them instead of getting rid of them. I don't think it was worth very much.

@eire-shabba You can if you stream from your console located elsewhere, which is technically cloud gaming and your own Xbox is the server. I get what you are saying though, I wish it was that way too and it might be at some point when they get it perfected.

I have the Pound branded adapter and it works well. I wonder how it compares to others. I do know that it converts the component signal.

@Dan1283 I guess you won't be participating in modern gaming in 3 to 5 years. It's ok, I'm right there with you. Even though I've been playing some cloud gaming lately, because I'm visiting my mom and she only has a One X. I've been playing some Series X only games on it and it works surprisingly well. I actually forgot I was using cloud gaming a few times.

@ParsnipHero that's exactly what I was thinking.

@xboxjapanfan I wish Xbox was as worldwide as the other consoles.

@xboxjapanfan Yea, but you need some really good winter wear.

@Lup I'm not gonna buy it until it's $9 on sale......bbbbuuuuurrrrrrnnnnn.

I think I'll dive into Twerk City Productions presents Big Dave's Twerkathon 2023.

@NarutosBiggestFan The obvious answer is to just move to that country and problem solved.

@Vipor007 In that case we need A GWAR Noir and a Canibal Corpse Noir.

@ZuneTattooGuy It released 4 years after.

But I thought Xbox didn't have any games.

@darkswabber Go tell your school teacher that, haha.

It's not on the list, but Buffalo Bill's Lotion Application School was the game for me this month. It was very challenging, way more than I thought it would be. I kept getting the hose. I finally got through it. I played through the second time on new game plus and it unlocked a secret ending with Joe Dirt.

I just picked up 2 more of these. Well, I got the Diablo bundle at Target for $449 with the $75 gift card the other day. Then I heard about this deal and I know target price matches. So I went up there, did that and then as I was showing them the listing on the Walmart app, I added it to the cart so I could pick it up tomorrow. I decided to just go up there and see if they had them in stock. They had 4 of them on the shelf, so I got one and price matched thier app. So now I have 2 Diablo Series X bundles. That reminds me, on the box it says that Diablo 4 would be delivered during sign up. How do I get two copies of it if it's going to give me a digital version on my Microsoft account? Is it going to give me a code to give to someone else since it knows I already have one? They have to give it to me some way or another because I paid for it.

@BAMozzy I couldn't have said it better myself.

It has to be the long awaited announcement of Sony purchasing the Xbox division.

I have roughly 27,744,676,442,268,874,388,432,377,532,467,874 points. That's about 27 Novillion points. Sooo... I'm feeling generous, I think I'll buy one of...... everything..... for everyone.

Oh yeah, the code just wrote itself, uploaded itself to the server and then deployed itself as an update across the world to everyone all by itself. If so, the credits to a game would just say, "AI" and tons of people would be out of a job as well as a career, because apparently all of those positions can be done by one greedy ass AI. Good one Ubisoft. Did AI write the response as well?

I'm going to guess this wasn't included in the original terms of service of the game that the ads are showing on. This could be a violation of the contact and lead to lawsuits. This is also altering the software beyond updating it to fix bugs and add content, so there may be legal issues with that as well.

@Enigk since you're okay with it all of this, would you be willing to watch all of our ads for us so we don't have to?

I still have all of my Xbox systems. That includes: 3 OG Xbox, 5 Xbox 360, 2 Xbox One X and a Series X. I got my OG Xbox day one. I worked at Microsoft at the time and I remember they had the Xbox games at the company store for $10. I just recently acquired my 1000th xbox game and have acquired 60 more since then.

@rustyduck As long as you removed the clock capacitor, you should be fine.
