Man, this thread is going to get updated like half as often once that comes into effect.
It's only really near the end of each month and a little at the beginning. With a few weirdos that post in the middle of the month for some reason.

Thankfully it did get a 4k patch for One X / Series X:

Ironically, that might have prevented MEA from getting FPS boost like Dragon Age did.

Spoiler
By the way, this is available now:

I Gotta admit, Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice edition has me a bit intrigued at taking the plunge and buying the vanilla edition of the game (already own the DLC) after seeing it has it's own achievement list. Did they even explain how the upgrade would work if you have a disc edition of the game?

I have Tello cell phone service. I pay like $10.60 a month. Unlimited talk and text and 1GB of data. I believe it's just a couple bucks more for two gigs of data and the unlimited plan might be like $25. I'm not really sure. I don't use too much data since I'm mostly always on Wi-Fi. Not all phones work for it though. You need to check their website to see if it's compatible. I am using an LG 30. Tell uses T-Mobile's network.
Long Rant warning.
My mom and I used to have Tello, great plans and pricing no doubt. My lone gripe was the unpredictable billing date. Sometimes we would make a second payment shortly after the initial one to adjust the date. Other times we would have two payments due in one month. If the billing date was the same each month I wouldn’t hesitate to sign up with them again.
I switched to Xfinity Mobile (uses Verizon) last year. Mom just switched back to Consumer Cellular and got SIM cards for T-Mobile’s network. She’ll be paying about the same as she was with Tello. I’m paying less for four lines of service on Xfinity Mobile than a family member who has two lines of service directly through Verizon.
Consumer Cellular is a great option as well. You don’t have to be of a certain age to sign up with them either. I was a customer of theirs for a few years. You can check to see if your current phone is compatible and I believe they use all three networks. /rant.

Plenty of games have the option to pick between Enhancement or FPS boost, like Fallout 4 and 76, or Bioware's own Anthem. I would guess the issue was Frostbite not being well optimized for open world RPGs meant Inquisition and Andromeda probably weren't stable at 60 FPS.Ironically, that might have prevented MEA from getting FPS boost like Dragon Age did.

^^^ I was having that same problem as well. I was getting charged earlier and earlier each month. When I called up they told me they charge every 30 days.
The way those billing dates kept changing it felt more every 28 days, lol. Too bad they don’t charge every whatever amount of days from the activation date.

My tv died a couple weeks ago. I have gone from playing Xbox Series X on a 58"4K TV to a 46" Full HD TV, hopefully for not too much longer.
I received an email from Microsoft about games on my wish list going on sale. One of the games is Deaths Door.
Now in the email they tell you the date the sale is ending, but not on the site. The weird thing is other games in the list have date ending March 7, which is when the weekly sale ends.
But Deaths Door is on gamepass and the date says ends on Aug 1. Wonder if this is when it will leave gamepass?

Dragon Age Inquisition FPS boost runs well from what I've played, albeit at 900p. I forgot about boost being a toggle. I guess MEA just wasn't popular enough to put the work in (I was shocked when it got the One X patch).

Very interesting. I dug into the source for Death's Door's store page, and the Aug 1 date is in there a number of times. Looks like they've redone the data in the pages since the last time I took a deep dive into it. The JSON structure has sections for purchaseable and giftable, with subsections under each for the regular price and Game Pass discount. All 4 have "endDate": "2023-08-01T09:59:59Z".
I checked a few of the games leaving Game Pass. Goat Simulator, Kentucky Route Zero: TV Edition and Undertale all have "endDate": "2023-03-16T09:59:59Z", which as a UTC time would point to 6am Eastern on the 16th (we spring ahead on the 12th).
Guardians of the Galaxy has "endDate": "2023-03-06T23:59:59Z", which might indicate a sale next week before it leaves Game Pass.
Omori and Spelunky 2 are in the "people also like" section for Undertale. Omori has an end date of June 16th, 1 year after it launched on Game Pass. Spelunky 2 has July 16th, after joining Game Pass in Jan 2022.
Blood Bowl 2, one of this week's Deals with Gold titles, has an endDate early Tuesday morning, as would be expected.
Will work on getting full scans of the store going again.

That sure is a better sight on the eyes than the "Live, Laugh, Love" LeBron PS5.

I wonder why Episode 3 is the only Star Wars game that never goes on sale. Don’t think it was given with Gold either.
Posted 03 March 2023 - 05:28 AM
Majority of the time, especially their controllers.
Posted 03 March 2023 - 05:39 AM
Hoo boy, this is fun. Some first party titles, like Banjo and Gears, have a price end date in 2799. Others, like Alice: Madness Returns through EA Play, have dates in the year 9998. Arkham Knight has a Mar 13 date, which would line up for a sale week after next.
Need to finesse some things since some GP titles I fed in don't have prices. Some are EA games that were delisted but still available through EA Play. Others, like Lego Skywalker, are editions that are on GP but aren't directly for sale. Need to handle those.
Will post the list in a bit.
Posted 03 March 2023 - 07:57 AM
Ok, here's the 461 games currently on Game Pass, including the date when their price is listed to change. A number of them had a time stamp 1 second before midnight UTC on a Tuesday. Aside from some in 2799, they were all on the next 2 Mondays, so I'm guessing they are upcoming sales.
The following 35 have time stamps for next Monday.
The following 32 have times for the following Monday.
The following 251 have end dates into 2027. 58 appear to be ending next Tuesday morning. A bunch are on sale, but I haven't cross checked everything.
The following 14 had errors when I attempted to retrieve the page. Didn't check if there's something with the page or maybe just Internet randomness.
The following 129 have dates 2098 and beyond.
