Re: This Gorgeous Xbox Mouse & Keyboard Set Launches Next Month

@Kienda @kihaennem it should work just fine wired on an xbox like any usb keyboard.
and more importantly it uses the same wireless dongle as the arcade stick that works fine on xbox. I fail to see why this won't work as well, they might want to announce this as an new feature down the line.

@PsBoxSwitchOwner yeah but you can always buy from a 3rd party and upgrade with $1 to ultimate, so in practice its much less than that. I like Microsoft a lot but that's what I'm doing

with GP you would also be able to try hundreds more games, that you couldn't possibly buy on Ps.

imho it's exactly like streaming services, I prefer paying for Max and prime and get dozens of content rather than buying individual series

Re: Xbox's Sarah Bond Talks About Bringing Demos To Xbox Game Pass

@Xiovanni how do you know that games with gamepass demos won't have free demos as well?

once again gamepass demos are for gamepass users, non gampeas users cant simply download.

gamepass demos are not to make you buy games, because the games are free for gamepass users. is just to make it easier to try the free games

@Xiovanni xbox already has demos, that are supposed to make you buy the games.
The gamepass demos are only to give a quick taste, the product is already paid and it's gamepass not the game.
And customers are convinced to buy services not with demos, but with services trials. Similarly to how streaming is not enticing people with single episodes of series but with 7 day trials.

That a gamepass perk, if you want demos you can always download the ones available.

@Kooky_Daisuke I agree that neflix is going downhill like for ever now.
my point was that noone would replace a compele product with a trial version, your fear of seeing games replaced by demos would never never happen and nothing pointed at it being a possibility.
the demos are just there to make it easier to test the full product, they could never be the product.
if the demos are cloud only that would allow someone to test games instantly.
if the demos are downloadable that would allow to check a game by downloading a small part of the game and save time and data.

there are already demos for xbox available to everyone https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/game-demos/games/xbox
what's the point in making the gamepass demos available to everyone?

Re: Halo's Raunchy Eighth Episode Has Left Everyone In Total Shock

@JayJ of course you are, that's not what I was saying though.. People are not entitlent to decide what shows/games etc should be like.
And complaining that the show is all about sex is wrong, as was comparing sex with other bodily functions.

almost all non-broadcast dramas have sex scenes: vikings, westworld, breaking bad, got, sopranos. even the wire had a couple.

Where they all about sex?? No they weren't...
Was you complain biased? Yes it was...

Re: Xbox Isn't Done With New Acquisitions, Job Listing Suggests

@UltimateOtaku91 the last part is not true. Kioxia's is majority-owned by Bain Capital, Sharp by Taiwan's Foxconn, Sony's 60% belongs to foreign investors. that's just a few I found qith a quick search, he just doesn't want MS to buy Sega 😅

and by the way the JP ministry of finance publishes a list of companies it requires prior notifications for foreign investment and gaming companies don't require one. that's fopr weapon, space etc companies only
