Im having trouble finding whether the all-access pass means you keep the console at the end of 24 months or not.

If so, its not a bad deal. You get the console and 24 months of game pass and ea access for 14.19 a month.

If not, its a terrible deal and I feel bad for anyone who feels they need to do it to get the console

You get the console, 2 years of Game Pass Ulitmare and Live ($15 a month value). $500 console + 24 months of $15 sub = $860. So cost.

ETA $20 discount actually.

You get to keep the console. Itā€™s actually cheaper to do that if you playing on getting game pass which is a no brained.

Yeah in that case its a great deal for anyone who canā€™t afford the console outright. Especially considering how predatory typical rent-to-own agreements can be

Iā€™m weary of buying the launch model of any new console. I bought the Xbox One X when it launched since I had a new 65ā€ 4K. It wasnā€™t much of a difference from my normal Xbox One. Also, I spend way more time now playing DOTA since Fifa 20 and NBA2K20 both had awful releases last year in regards to online play.

I may check out Wasteland since I have game pass. I know Outer Worlds was on there. I still have Witcher 3 installed and have yet to boot it up.

You also get EA (whatever their game pass is called) for 24 months as well which I think is currently $5 a month.

Edit: Just saw they are rolling that into game pass program wide, which is pretty cool. No idea how that is profitable for EA unless they get a huge chunk up front. It really exposes how useless a new version of EA sports games every year really is

That EA access is actually really great if you play Ultimate Team. You get early access to the game (which is huge for the market) and discounts year round on microtransactions. I no longer spend money on FUT, but I did one year right when I got sober and needed shit to grind. Probably the most embarrassing thing Iā€™ve ever done is the amount of money I spent that year on the game. Cheaper than a DUI, though.

I think it is because they didnā€™t want to release an Xbox 2 to compete with the Playstation 3 because obviously 3 is better than 2. So they came up with Xbox 360 and now they have a similar problem for a every generation.

Thatā€™s shocking to me. The difference in graphics from my Xbox one to X on a 4K TV was enormous.

Maybe itā€™s because the S does upscaling as well? I donā€™t know. All I really noticed were load times were much shorter. I sold it and went back to an S.

Iā€™m getting ps5 day it comes out. The exclusives make it a really easy decision for me. The new xbox looks nice though.

The thing about owning an xbox that makes it a super easy decision for me is that most xbox games also come out on pc, and I have a decent rig already. So the choice for me is obvious ps5 even though I hate giving sony any money.

I donā€™t even play my PS4 now due to home circumstances (wife wfh and have our own and a friendā€™s toddler at the house M-F 7 to 5, not to mention a shitty set up in our living room where I basically have to stand to play it) and somehow Iā€™m getting roped into getting a next-gen console arenā€™t I? I guess I can at least wait to see what our prospects are for staying in the U.S. vs leaving before making any decisions like that. I was going to set up a little gaming corner in our bedroom with an old TV and stand we had but the stand fell apart when we went to move it lol

Yea Iā€™ve missed out on all PS exclusives for years. The Xbox controller is the greatest gamepad Iā€™ve ever held and has ruined me from ever picking up a PS controller again.

The xbox controller is far superior. I switched from PC rocket league to PS4 and it took 3 months to get used to ps4 controller. I have a suspicion that I still miss some shots because the orientation of the sticks on the ps4 controller suck compared to xbox.

I hit champ1 on pc and iā€™ve clawed my way up to diamond on ps4, but Iā€™m pretty sure this damn controller is holding me back.

Seriously. XBox, XBox 360, XBox 1, XBox X? Come on, the obvious answer is: XBox, XBoxx, XBoxxx, XBoxxxx.
