Why my laptop or Series S or PS4 had to be in idle or stand by? I always completely switch them off completely when I do not use them! I switch them on I want to download a game or play something. It annoys me that the complete shutdown is hidden in the Series S options somewhere.
To be honest I enjoy games from Humble Games a lot. A Short Hike is a personal favourite of mine and Signalis is in my wishlist. Very cool that Humble Games is supporting Game Pass.
@Kaloudz I beat recently both Silent Hill 2 and 3 in my Series S with no serious issues. Yet again I am not the best at spotting those, it has been many years since the launch and I did not remember the games that well.
@UltimateOtaku91 To be honest I am not familiar with 2K or its games, but it is more serious to have a console maker raising the prices. It makes the possibility of other publishes following very high. Also, they did not have an upgrade plan or a Smart Delivery alternative and what they did seems like an afterthought. Also, even though I loved the game, I was disappointed with the 90 euro Horizon FW limited digital edition. YOU CANNOT TRANSFER THE DIGITAL SOUNDTRACK IN A USB!!!! You can only listen to it in the PS4 console!!!!!!
What I would like to say though is that in that in the eurozone many games of the previous generation launched in the 70 euro mark: Fifa, Street Fighter 5, Zelda Breath of the Wild (both Wii U and Switch), Final Fantasy 15. Some others though launhed at 60 euros with both PS4 and PS5 versions like Resident Evil Vilage. 80 euros sound way too much for a new game though and even indie prices have increased in some cases. Currently, I do not think I will buy anything else except Final Fantasy at launch. In fact the only games I got at launch this year are Horizon FW, Atelier Sophie 2 and Sonic Origins.
I love Bloodstained. I was an original backer and I have beat the game in PS4 (with all trophies obviously), in Series S (with all achievements) and in Switch (if you have not played it yet stay away from this version).
@ralphdibny Dev mode does not let you play xbox games. You have to reboot between modes constantly.
By the way there was also a way to do this in retail mode but I am not sure if it still works. Note that if you are a university student in participating universities you can use your academic email to have dev mode for free. It does not seem that possible that MS will start bans for this. I know people that did this in the OG VCR X1.
The SEGA backlog of games available via BC was a surprise and one of my favourite aspects of my new Series S. Crazy Taxi, Daytona, Sonic, Virtua Fighter and many more are there. No Afterburner or Outrun though due to licensing issues.
Xbox Series S was my first Xbox. In fact I have never ever played an Xbox before. I got the S due to it being relative cheap, due to Game Pass and because some of my favourite SEGA games are available via BC. I ended up loving it. I love the ultra fast SSD.
Those days I play Sega BC games on Series S and I also got a Dreamcast. I am a Sega fan but I have forgotten how fun some of their "forgotten" games are. I really wish they would re-release arcade ports, master system ports, saturn ports etc.
I have the trilogy on DS and the remakes in 3DS and PS4. I love this game, the characters and the overarching narrative. I would suggest it to anyone. I will totaly play it again if it comes to game pass.
@Tharsman I always wanted a windows 10 tablet with actual controls (not android because come on on windows you can do so much more).
There were some tries like GPWin but nothing really good IMOH.
Even if MS somehow wanted Game Pass in PS4 (which they don't) in no way Sony would allow it. Obviously Sony wants to sell its own games. This is no EA Access situation.
Sometime ago buying from the web store of the marketplace stopped working. It still doesn't work regardless of OS, paying options etc. Also I cannot even redeem the free games.
I bought the game.co.uk one and they seem to work in the whole EU not region loced in the UK. For some reason they send the first code. In the place of the second code it sends "coming soon". I may have to ask them about this.
I have the white xbox one s one and really love it. The triggers are fantastic and it woks perfectly with my windows 10 laptop. I prefer the analogue sticks to be symmetrical though.

Re: PSA: Buying Elden Ring On Xbox? Check Microsoft Rewards First
@Blessed_Koz I have thought about it but having to pay for the vpn kind of defeats the purpose. I am not sure you can trust free vpn services.

Re: Midnight Club: LA Surprisingly Returns To The Xbox Store

Re: Xbox Series X Controller Losing Connection? Microsoft Is On The Case
@NEStalgia Yes, I usually want to shut the console off completely if I know that I won't use it for a couple of days.
Re: Xbox Series X Controller Losing Connection? Microsoft Is On The Case
I don't have this issue however I find it strange that, if I want to shutdown the system completely, I have to go in the settings.
