I got mine today. R$30 (almost $5).
I'll chip away little by little. The only one I'm sure I'll play soon is Sonic 3D Blast. I still have my original MD copy, but I've never beaten it. Now's my chance

I tried playing the remake of the first game for the 360, but really REALLY didn't like the gameplay. It even turned me off to trying the sequels. But this new one I'll give a try once it releases

I want to be excited for Judas, but I was once excited for Bioshock Infinite.

I work two jobs on the PC already, so when I wanna have fun, that's as far from it as possible. I really hope we get a console version.

Also, Xbox, please put AoE2 on the "Switch 2". I have both AoE games on the DS and it would be a great game on the go on top of expanding my very weird AoE physical collection lol

My move will likely happen in mid-December, so I won't be playing day one because of that. But it feels like the right game for the holiday break

@IOI And that was true for every single thing I said. Until it wasn't.
And it's not as if Sony developed games aren't on Xbox. Sure, the MLB forced their hand, but getting a Sony developed game day one on Game Pass is fun to see.
Please, feel free to keep your scepticism. You'll be right, until you aren't. Makes no difference to me. I'm playing the really long game

I remember a time where Sonic on Nintendo was impossible. Crash outside PS was impossible. Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest were Nintendo only. Things can change. Just don't hold your breath.

If the game runs well on the Switch, portability wins for me. But depending on price or performance, I buy it on Xbox.
Once I move to a civilized country, I will have easier access to physical media of smaller games for decent prices, so my PS library will get a boost as well.
Both my Switch and Xbox stores are Brazilian, but Sony won't let me change the region of my account from the US and the price difference is quite big, unfortunately.

@NEStalgia I don't doubt it. But I've actually never seen an OG Xbox in person not any of the controllers. They were not very popular in Brazil (at least not where I lived).
On a sidenote, I had a Mega Drive (Genesis) and never knew the Saturn existed until I read about it on a magazine that was covering SEGA exiting the console business.

@nomither6 Two completely different things that don't invalidate one another.

@VoidPunk As long as they followed Nintendo's lead and not Sony's it could be an amazing mini system

And it's still smaller than the Duke controller

I'll take one good game that actually releases first, if that's ok

It'll still launch before Beyond Good and Evil 2

I'm playing the following trilogy at the moment, but great to see they really want to make these games easily available again.

Dream: a collection with the GBC, GBA and DS games.

Given how much the Switch has sold so far and for how long it's been selling, I'd say it's about time that happened. It just won't last, I imagine, since all three are dropping numbers YOY and the "Switch 2" will launch next year, Xbox will be back in #3 rather soon

For those prices I'd rather just keep managing my Series S' storage

@Tasuki I do. That's a worrying part of it for sure. But I only write MBA levels of dissertation if I'm either getting graded or paid for it

@Tasuki not having to cater to investors who don't underestand the industry and who will value short term gain would be a great improvement

I believe Xbox will eventually get the last 3 big ones (XVI, VIIRm and VII Rb). What I'm curious to see is when Xbox will get XVII in relation to PS and maybe even Nintendo

@Darude84 I don't know. It doesn't sound like Sony to just do something like that, because it's not a small cut, it's 30%. The same 30% they take. So either they'd make no money or devs are getting screwed twice. I think there's more to this

This feels more like a market test for pricing than a Pro version

@Darude84 are you sure they have to? Sony has the store on their app. The app is severely lacking, but you can add currency and spend it there.

Time to make some popcorn then

I played Skyrim on the PS3. I hope it's better than that

Bold of them to assume there is one at the moment. This is my first gen having an Xbox and while I still love my Series S and play it almost daily, a clearer vision for the company would go a long way to have me invest more $ into the Xbox ecossystem

I always knew this would be the case. It was the same thing with Club Nintendo. People loved to complain about it, but once it was gone...

I can see 7 Remake launching simultaneaously on "Switch 2" and Series. Pixel Remaster is out everywhere else, so it could still come this year. FF XVI Complete Edition we may get in 2026 then 7 Rebirth in 2027, with the thought they will want to space the releases.
But the main question is... will Xbox get Forspoken?

@HeavyHoggJP I get GPU once I have enough points from the rewards program. Otherwise I play some other games I got on sale. I've already got a Switch and a PS4 as more modern consoles, not counting older ones I still play such as the DS, 3DS and the Wii.
So GPU is amazing, but I do my best to keep the variety going.
Right now I'm playing Quantum Break on my Series S. I could've played it via GPU, but if I finish it this weekend, it will have taken me 3 weeks to finish it. Which is great because I actually bought for about half the price of a month of GPU

Long time reader and I believe second time poster. I've only had my Series S for just over two years and it's my first Xbox, so I have a lot to play to bring myself up to date.
As far as Gears go, I've only played 1 and 2, but I hope to play at least 3 and Judgement before E-Day releases.
I've been fairing better with Halo (especially 'cause I thought it appropriate that the first game I played on my first Xbox be Halo 1. On the Halo front I'm "only" missing 4, 5, Infinite and both Wars games.

@Lup DominuS... get it?
