@Secryt cost of living was comparatively less than it is now though to go along with that inflation. Plus the PS3 saw numerous revisions and price cuts before it finally succeeded.

I'm happy with the Series X. I just hope they'll stop this requirement for feature parity with the Series S, so that the full benefits of the Series X can be realised

@shonenjump86 Sonic Adventure is decent fun. The Xbox 360 port is based on the PC port of the Gamecube port though. There's not a lot to love about it.

@Markatron84 I hope you like it. It doesn't look like a classic Sonic game but more like a spiritual successor to Classic Sonic from Generations, but they've successfully recreated the physics this time around.

Its really a game of two halves with the first half rehashing what you expect from a Classic Sonic, and the second half turning expectations upside down.

Co-op is to be avoided though. Feels shoehorned as a gimmick, and the game plays much better without that.

Frontiers is a miss for me. I've played it through once and skipped the DLC. Open world Sonic results in a lot of empty space. The soundtrack is brilliant though.

I miss the days when you could stack 3 years of Xbox Live Gold and then pay £1 to convert it all to Ultimate.

@Yousef- @Markatron84

Your lists stop at Mania. I'm not going to insult anyone by asking about Forces, but what did you both think about Sonic Superstars?

While by no means a full price game, I would argue that it's got some elements better than (or as good as in your case, Mark) Mania.

@dskatter best explanation I can think of regarding how an update can fix a network issue but break an unrelated function is from the overarching structure of the Operating System. So many small pieces are interconnected. New features constantly break old features during development, and are normally caught during testing. For the ones that aren't caught during testing, they deploy a follow-up fix (which could always result in another new issue being identified)

I'm hoping the workaround works for games that aren't downloadable (or that it gets fixed). I've just ordered a disc copy of The Orange Box (I am late to the HL2 party), and no doubt have some 360 games in my DVD backlog that will have been delisted
