I don't understand the CAG fascination with GamePass. I can see its appeal to the average user, but with my backlog, GWG, and an occasional sale purchase, I have zero interest in a game rental service. But I'm glad those who like it are geting good deals.
Same here, I have 3 months of gamepass waiting to be redeemed but just don't ever get around to doing it because of my backlog, I look at the 430 games I have on my account that I paid for and figure I should play those first. With my backlog being over 400 games I have most of the games on gamepass that I would have been interested in. Also having a couple kids under 3 makes it a lot tougher to be interested in it with my limited game time, it might take me months to complete a game and I would hate to be half way through a game and have it leave game pass. There are a few games I want to play but I don't want to buy that I think I will use game pass to play, looking at you The gardens between and thief of thieves.

Gears 5, Halo Infinite and many others will drop in the next 36 months. I hadn’t subscribed to game pass before but to convert my gold to 3 years of game pass too and then not have to buy first party titles for 3 years was a great deal.

Currently I installed Crackdown 3, Sea of Thieves and Forza Horizon 4, all of which I wouldn’t have bought, I haven’t played them yet because I was on Tacoma from gamepass first. IMO if you can get 36 months, after 36 months Xbox One games will look like 360 games look now because Xbox Two will be out. Anything that’s on Xbox One that I haven’t played in 36 months from now might not ever get played because new consoles will be out by then.

I've turned around on GamePass to a degree. Yeah, it's not the best deal if you buy everything but the fact that exclusives and some other games are on there day one is a HUGE benefit. Now that I have it until October 2020 I can bare minimum guarantee I don't have to buy Gears 5 or the Reach MCC DLC, which I would have bought 100%, at least until I way after launch when Gears will be discounted. It sometimes allows me to play stuff that I've been waiting on for whatever reason, like Wolfenstein 2 or WarGroove lately. Personally I've accepted that some of the backlog is a long way off for me, so it's nice to have access to the occasional new title for a very low cost.

All that said, I have only spent like $5 or $6 on GamePass total as I've gotten it free through work or bought the occasional promotional $1 months. I can't say that I would have been buying this at $10 a month, more likely an occasional month long rental when a new release came out. This service should be vastly more worthwhile, presumably next gen, when the large amount of studio accusations start putting out first-party games regularly instead of the 3 or so games we're currently at. 

I also don't see GWG going away unless PS+ completely stops coming with games.

 
Plenty of new releases drop day and date on Game Pass now it's probably worth it's value just for MS first party releases alone so I'm not sure what's hard to understand about it.
Exactly this. Fairly easy to find deals on GamePass that make it less than just one of those new MS releases for a year. I’m always going to want each iteration of Forza Horizon for instance at launch.

Those games will never leave the service and playing less for a year than it costs for just one of them? Sold.

All the indie games that launch day and date as well as other games I hadn’t even thought of buying are gravy on top.

I felt the same. I got an extra 20 months of Game Pass and 9 months Gold for a $1 basically.


Posts like this are why people keep feeling the need to explain the deal over and over again.

I assume most people have XBL Gold - Let's say your Gold sub is good until Feb 2020 right and you have no Game Pass at all.

You wouldn't pay a $1 to get an extra month of Gold and now you have Game Pass through March 2020?

That's what this offer does.
How exactly do I do that? I join the insider the other day and currently lvl 4 and Omega. Currently have 7 month of xbl gold 2 months ish of game pass left

Same reason there is wayyy more content on Netflix than I will ever have time to watch, but I still subscribe to Hulu and buy movies that I want copies of: variety and affordability. Just like Netflix, I end up enjoying way more of a variety of games that I'd never pay for with Game Pass, especially indie titles.

Also, most of us using it got in for dirt cheap. I don't think I'd pay $10 a month, but as long as deals are around, I plan on keeping it.

 
I just got a random text on my phone from Microsoft. Clicked a link and I won 500 rewards points. Better than a kick in the shins I suppose.

 
Did anyone just get a microsoft rewards email from Quikly? I got a heads up email saying to make sure to check my email in a few minutes for a secret link. Got the second email and when clicking the link it said I was fasting than around 71k other people and gave me 250 points. Basically saw both emails at the same time otherwise I would've posted before getting the second one.

 
Got the Quickly thing too said I was faster than 77K people and got a 1000 reward points. I kinda forgot about the e-mail from MS to sign up for this like a month ago.

Got the second email and when clicking the link it said I was fasting than around 71k other people and gave me 250 points. Basically saw both emails at the same time otherwise I would've posted before getting the second one.
Only 250 points here as well.

 
After playing a bunch of party games this weekend it reminded me:

They need to make Fusion Frenzy 2 BC. It's a Microsoft studios game so there's no reason I can see why they haven't done it yet.
 
How exactly do I do that? I join the insider the other day and currently lvl 4 and Omega. Currently have 7 month of xbl gold 2 months ish of game pass left
Go to the Xbox Insider Hub app on your Xbox >> Insider content >> Xbox Game Pass Ultimate

Then sign up for it.

If you have any pre-paid sub cards use them beforehand.

I felt the same. I got an extra 20 months of Game Pass and 9 months Gold for a $1 basically.

Posts like this are why people keep feeling the need to explain the deal over and over again.

I assume most people have XBL Gold - Let's say your Gold sub is good until Feb 2020 right and you have no Game Pass at all.

You wouldn't pay a $1 to get an extra month of Gold and now you have Game Pass through March 2020?

That's what this offer does.
This, in a nusthell, is why I signed up (the cheap extension of XBLG). There are some games on the GP that I might play, but if I don't get around to them it won't be the end of me.

Gears 5, Halo Infinite and many others will drop in the next 36 months. I hadn’t subscribed to game pass before but to convert my gold to 3 years of game pass too and then not have to buy first party titles for 3 years was a great deal.

Currently I installed Crackdown 3, Sea of Thieves and Forza Horizon 4, all of which I wouldn’t have bought, I haven’t played them yet because I was on Tacoma from gamepass first. IMO if you can get 36 months, after 36 months Xbox One games will look like 360 games look now because Xbox Two will be out. Anything that’s on Xbox One that I haven’t played in 36 months from now might not ever get played because new consoles will be out by then.
Don't forget, all your XB1 games will work on XB2 and presumably run better than on the XB1X.

What the hell is Quickly? No email or text here.
Its basically a contest from various companies they tell you at some point we'll send you a text about a contest you signed up for and the more quickly you click the link in the contest the better the prize you get but you don't know when they'll send the link to everyone it could be in an hour or a month. I did one once for shoe carnival and I must have been fairly slow I only got a 20% off coupon.

Re: Game Pass
I've only been signing up with insanely discounted prices, mostly for the first-party stuff, and some indie stuff I would never buy on Xbone. $10/month is nuts though, thank fuck for this 3 year deal.

Keep in mind Game Pass Ultimate could come with extra perks too as an incentive.

Go to console enrollment in the Insider App and sign up for Delta. Once you're in Delta, go to Insider Content and pick Game Pass Ultimate. Click "Go to Store" on that tab and sign up for $1.
 
Will the next Xbox be compatible with 360 games? I don’t know what it is but I love that feature in my x1, don’t wanna go without it.

I Mean, probably? Since Microsoft is still on the "whatever it takes" wagon of trying to win people back plus digital future seems to be more of a bigger thing and Game Pass seems to be playing a bigger role in that as well with the whole library of past and current games.

You'll have to switch to the Delta ring first and then follow adonfraz's post.

As for Gamepass, in addition to all the reasons everyone listed for joining, you have access to Game Pass quests to earn more points for MS rewards and prizes that they sometimes give away (free gamepass subs).

It's rumored to be and is highly likely but I don't think anyone really knows yet

Since the architectures of XB1 and XB2 will be similar enough, the hard lifting should already be done. I can see licensing being an issue, but I hope not and I don't want to see a trickle of XB2 BC games over time. I want a situation where I buy a new console and see the obscene number of games I see now.

 
Is Lumines Remastered worth checking out for $9? I never played the PSP version but have always been interested in it.

For the Quickly promo, I was faster than 17,249 and got 250 points.

 
How about a giveaway guys? Haven't seen one for awhile. I'm going to give away Battle Chasers Nightwar, I had an absolute blast with this game last year and I see its on sale now. Just like this post to enter and tomorrow at 4 PM EST I'll pick one of you to win it!

Phil Spencer has made allusions to this as a goal, and if it's not true, Game Pass is going to be kinda useless next gen. Generally, if it supports all Xbox One software and games have been approved for X1 as a platform, there shouldn't be any licensing issues. The main issue for the X1 is that MS has to republish games for distribution internally with the tweaked emulator, similar to if a developer submits a patch which has to be authenticated before it goes live.

 
If the Xbox 2 or whatever it ends up being is not fully BC with everything it will be highly embarrassing since they gave put so much emphasis on it. I paid a ton of money for my digital library and I fully expect to be able to play every game on it. If it's already BC it better remain that way

I don't know if it's true or not but my friend told me that the next PlayStation will be fully BC. I find that hard to believe but that's what he told me. Just to lazy to verify cause I don't care about PlayStation I only care about us.
 
I forget since it happens frequently, have we had a ubisoft sale recently? They're currently having a sale on PS4 and Switch. Maybe they're waiting until after the ID@xbox sale? Nothing that would indicate a sale on the last countdown bloomy posted. Hopefully we get one and division 2 is more than 30% and we get the same 50% off trials PS4 got.

How do you sign up to it?

Don’t let anyone say you shouldn’t complain. Everyone has different opinions
Just like if I make a comment about Steam Link launching on iOS and someone makes a snarky comment like he did about it, I have a right to my own snarky comment back.

As long it had Shinin in there, I bought it. (And it does)

I thin it has been confirmed that PS5 will play PS4 games.

 
The new Xbox will play all the stuff your Xbox One can play now, they aren't going to throw that away, this is more incentive for you going digital. It's highly rumored that the PS5 will be compatible with PS4 and maybe even the legacy PS systems. Even though the current head of Sony is the guy who's exact quote was "We do not care about backwards compatibility"

It might not even matter anymore anyway if this news is something big. MS and Sony are partnering up to expand cloud gaming service with MS Azure servers and data centers...

Has anyone tried joining GP Ult on another profile? I wanted to get my bros account hooked up, it's available to join for $1 on the store page, but it said he was already joined within the insider app. I'm not sure if it will combine his subs correctly, probably safer to join through the insider app on his console. I figured it was worth checking if anyone had tried it tho to see if I could just take care of it for him.

To keep it simple, 1000x YES LUMINES IS WORTH CHECKING OUT, to hell with any dollar amount.
