Every single time I get used to the rewards dashboard they change it and screw me all up!!! lol cmon! If it ain’t broke don’t try and fix it!!

Well it would be a shame if we couldn’t pop our Xbox BC games into the Helix but if it had a drive they could possibly steal a lot of Sony customers if physical discs was still an option. It would also help if they stopped putting their Gems like Halo and Forza 5/6 on PlayStation. I understand they made a lot of money with Forza and I’m sure Halo will do very well on PlayStation too but it’s just more big reasons to not want an Xbox imo.
Meanwhile I would be soooo mad if my movie library on PlayStation (which I thankfully don’t have) all of a sudden had tons of titles hijacked from my library!! Movies that I purchased & thought I OWNED??? That’s criminal Sony you have some damn nerve! And the Sony movie library was at one time a perk for upgrading your subscription so I guess that’s over with? Lastly, Microsoft still has its points rewards system in place unlike the other 2. So it’s nice to redeem about $10 a month towards digital game purchases!

Nice!! Big fan looking forward to this and looks like Sega stuck with the classic formula!!

Looks awesome! Would it have been so terrible to include 2TB storage instead??

Damn! Dirt 2.0! I gotta get busy still on Dirt 4 and Forza Horizon 2 lol 😂

Definitely more BC games please as quite a few were left out!!

Such a shame about Horizon Chase Turbo! Such a beautiful game if you love outrun style racers don’t miss out!!

@Atariboy ahhh ok never noticed that makes more sense now thanks

@Atariboy yea wow forgot about Afterburner and Rally Revo!! I can’t see the issue with any Outrun game as far as licensing because the original arcade game is on the Switch via Sega Ages and also you can find it in the Yakuza games. So here’s hoping!! Otherwise the only other possibility is if Sega brings it back with all these classic IP’s they’ve been working on, slow as that’s been so far.

Outrun 2006 coast to coast!! How’s that not on the list such a beautiful racer!! lol

I don’t understand WHY Hamster is not making these simple old games available on Xbox One and now they started the Console Archives series which is NOT even available for any Xbox period! Cmon HAMSTER!! 🙄

Meanwhile of the group here you can start with never before available at home with Top Speed, Rave Racer and Konami GT are all fun racers while today’s release Arkanoid along with Space Invaders are obviously certified Arcade Classics. Polaris is a nice old classic as well.

It would be nice to be able to view the old Games? Like you know filter the shop from “old to new” games so you can see the games still available from way back when the One first hit in 2013.

That would be very cool to see them add more titles missed prior! I never understood why Crazy Taxi 3 and Outrun 2006 among other Sega titles didn't come over the first time around!

I could never understand how games like Crazy Taxi 3 High Roller, Outrun 2006 coast to coast, all the Simpsons games, sonic heroes, Sega Rally Revo and Jet Set Radio never made it through! Very strange and disappointing! Would’ve loved to see the 2 Buffy games as well.

That’s another thing too - they have no problem driving Bing right up your tailpipe!! Jeez lol

Microsoft getting cheaper and cheaper with this. I remember when the middle task was always 30 points. Also anyone ever experience the rewards site not functioning at all for like a week plus which would kill your streak??
Taking me almost 2 months to get to 10,000 points lol and I buy a lot of digital games on sales. This all said AT LEAST it’s still going unlike Nintendo who killed the Gold coins and Sony killing their rewards program. 🤷‍♂️

Well road to exotics is already gone? “Currently unavailable” wtf? 12/31 a month away. Oh well.

I’ve heard that once you plug it in it conflicts with your external drive? Anyone know for sure? I need one bad though but if it affects my 4TB external drive it won’t help me lol.

That’s not really a big deal is it? As long as they don’t KILL the rewards altogether. Every 2-3 months I cash in on a $25 gift card that I use to buy more digital games.

Played the heck out of Dragonfire as a kid. I’d like to see some classic C64 games from Activision like Toy Bizarre and Park Patrol added. Also Dreadnaught Factor & Zone Ranger were good games on the 5200. Keep em coming!

@Nic-Noc20th-C good point I’ve been saying it for years! Say what you want about Nintendo’s store but on the game page you’re viewing, all you have to do is click on the publishers name and you see every game that publisher offers! And sometimes you might even catch a few sales this way.
Neither Xbox or PlayStation far as I know have this feature which surprises me.

Does anyone know why we can only go so far back to view much older Xbox One games? That’s another filter we need badly. “New to Old” & “Old to New” because unless much older games back to 2015 for example, are on sale, you simply can’t scroll down to them to see them in chronological order. PlayStation lets you flip it either way with no problem. 🤷‍♂️

I would consider picking up PC3 so how about a nice sale price on the way out the exit door??

I do all my movie purchases on Apple- then thru Movies Anywhere, my purchases appear on my Xbox console, prime, Vudu etc. Except for those studios who don’t participate. Damn you Lionsgate and Paramount!! lol

Idk the game just doesn’t look appealing to me. Not what I’d imagine a John Wick game to be. I’ve seen it for $2.00 on sale in the past and I still didn’t bite. Oh well plenty of other games to play!

Having an absolute blast with the first one! Graphics are so cool. Soon as I knock this one out I’m going straight for Unfinished Business!

I have to say I’m having a good time with Robocop! Very fun FPS offline mind you. Graphics are awesome 😎

Good news but I wish we can get a sneak peek at what’s coming next! There’s a ton of classic Amiga & C64 games I’d love to see hit like Ghostbusters, Toy Bizarre & Park Patrol. On the Atari 5200, there’s Zone Ranger & Dreadnaught Factor. From Intellivision I’d like to revisit Worm Whomper! More Imagic games too!

It would be nice if they can fix the rewards page! They keep resetting my streak after 178 days when I’m on it daily and I keep doing stuff over and over again because the points are not being credited to my account! 😡 it’s happened before and I feel like it’s on purpose!

Damn that’s quite a list to sort through! I’ll be shopping for sure!

Not too bad - a bit laggy yea but at least finally the Activision 2600 library comes to a modern console first time since PS2! Willy Beamish is a nice surprise too as I’m a fan from the SEGA CD port! But there’s a ton more they can add here; like the 8-bit or 5200/Colecovision versions of some of these games and exclusives like 5200 Zone Ranger, Zenji and Dreadnaught Factor, Worm Whomper from Intellivision, Toy Bizarre and Park Patrol from the C64, Gee Bee Air Rally from Amiga and much much more! Let’s hope they have access to these titles and they will get added!! For the record, I HATE streaming ANYTHING! Music, movies and video games!! But I guess we have no choice here. 🙄
NO WAY! The Sega CD Willie Beamish is in here! Really enjoyed this back in the day! Intro soundtrack is amazing!! 🤩

First Nintendo killing gold points! Then I noticed over the past year or so Microsoft has become very cheap with their points be it doing the exercises and making game purchases. I used to average a $25 gift card every 2 months- now even with the same activity, I haven’t redeemed one since October- close but not yet. Less points being awarded for game purchases for certain! Boooo!

@Banjo- cool thank you I’ll give that a shot 😊

I love the Xbox store- Except that unless I come across them in a sale, I can never find the older games from 2014-2018 etc. When I go into “‘New Games” it only goes so far back plus you can’t even flip it to “oldest to newest” games like you can with PlayStation. Weird and annoying.

Hopefully a physical version like the switch and ps4 have?? That would be awesome!

Does anyone know how to browse through older Xbox games on the console itself?? When you go in to view new games and scroll down it only goes so far. Aside from finding the older games when they’re on sale, I can’t figure out how to view them chronologically back to 2014 when Xbox One first launched. Even on PS5 you can filter it to “oldest to newest” and all the older games are there to view in date order. Idk lol What am I missing here? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Well! I guess I’m buying the PS5 and switch physical copies! Surprised about no ps4 physical version though.Meanwhile Virtua Fighter 2 is getting a physical release on Xbox but not PS4,Switch etc?? Go figure.

I just hope Sega is crafting a new collection that’s gonna blow our minds!! Adding some Master System, Saturn and Dreamcast games in the mix would be AWESOME!!! It could easily be a 100+ game collection!

Why is the all digital white console being called a series X instead of S?? 🤷‍♂️

I’m a little confused why the robot white all digital version is being called a Series X? I always thought series X was= physical and S = digital only? Unless I’m missing something?
The 2TB X does have my interest I’ll admit.
It’s also annoying how Microsoft continues to push digital only consoles at us all while trying to shove Bing up our butts every 3 minutes!! 🙄 just like Big Bill wants us to stop eating REAL burgers!!

Always loved me some FEAR!! Great shooters!! I wonder why only 2&3 are available! Part 1 and Files missed the BC program.

@sixrings good God how can I forget Outrun! lol that would be amazing! 🤩

All I know is Simpsons Road Rage and Hit and Run would be awesome!! But obviously there’s a ton of others to consider!

What a shame BF3 is my all time fave but BF4 is a close second so at least that’ll keep rolling along for a while 👍
BF3 remastered would be sweet though!

Believe it or not the thing that baffles me most is the classic arcade games Hamster only releases on PlayStation and Switch. I don’t understand why Xbox has been limited to the Neo Geo library! 🤷‍♂️

I’m at a loss as to the series x all digital model? Isn’t that going to confuse some folks if no disc drive?? We’ve known all along series S means digital 🤷‍♂️
Meanwhile I’m going to hold off and pick up my Atari 7800+ first LOL 😆

So long 360! Thanks for all the games! Sad day for sure but I take comfort in my 800+ digital purchases and 650 physical games I own for 360 and the original Xbox game discs it still plays! I’ll wager that the ps3 store will be next.

Nice one less 360 game for me to buy before the store closes!

I’m still baffled how certain Sega games like Crazy Taxi 3, Afterburner and Space Channel 5 did not make the backwards compatibility's list. Very strange. Either way the closure of this 360 store is mainly why digital purchases is bad in my opinion. It will interesting to see how things look once we boot up the 360 after the store is closed.

After seeing what’s happening with the 360 store shutting down this month I'm not so sure if the lifetime membership fee makes any sense?? I’m on the fence here. 🤷‍♂️ Plus they really haven’t added a lot of games since launch.
