I traded my Xbox last year and tried cloud only - not great. Secured a Series S this morning from Verizon before the prices changed but I had a giftcard.
It's being reported that consoles and peripherals will increase in price today.

Auto-redeem GPU went up to 17K points, but manually getting a month is still at 12K points for now. Good time to redeem points if you have them in case it goes up to match auto-redeem.
Monsterpatch looks amazing and is 1000%+ funded. Mon cozy game from the Littlewood dev.

Thanks! I just bought a Series S from FB and it's basically brand new. The controller doesn't even have wear or dirt on it. Paid $140 but tempted to trade it for the $220 value to help offset some of the cost of the Switch 2.
Monsterpatch Kickstarter launched today. It's currently only for PC, but I could see this being popular on Game Pass. Looks really good so I hope it does come to consoles...
