I’m shocked Xbox is only down 8%. At Christmas the only new games we got were for PS5 and Switch. I’m buying Harry Potter Hogwarts Legacy on Xbox but that’s the first big game I’ve bought on Xbox in a long time. Between Gamepass and just feeling like Xbox has been in a dry spell on games I want to play, it’s been a minute since I’ve bought anything big. I play Apex and Fortnite and Overwatch 2 on Xbox though because it’s my favorite ecosystem and favorite controller of the major consoles.

They might be preoccupied... Microsoft to lay off 11,000 employees as soon as tomorrow | Windows Central

Oof, they switched to “unlimited” PTO too. Not a good sign. It’s crazy how they can be spending billions on Activision at one end while laying off 5% of its workforce at the other end.

Blind Boxes have always been a way for stores to offload unwanted/unsold merchandise at higher prices then they would ever be able to sell the actual items for if consumers knew what they were getting.

I know I'm going to sound like a nerd but I'm excited for hogwarts legacy. I think it looks great.

I am also looking forward to this game. My kids love Harry Potter and my oldest son and I did the online quiz to determine our house before the game comes out. We both got Ravenclaw.

I keep my ps5 upside down so that the conductive thermal grease will just flow right out the air vents and not hurt anything.

For those that have been following the last few days I leave you this...

 

These Call of Duty cut scenes just look more and more realistic every year.

I just got my Dell Gift Cards.

goldeneye64 showed me that Costco has PlayStation Gift Cards $100 worth for $80 now too if you are a Costco member. Get those 3000 deals for even a little bit cheaper.

*i'm too stupid to either delete this post or post the appropriate pic. Elden Ring 184 hours and only 55% completion.     and it's still wrong because i've played way more Apex Legends.

Your game of the year has to be a game you started playing in 2022, so Apex Legends wouldn't qualify if you were playing it in 2021 and prior.

I played a lot of Earthbound this year. I wish the Nintendo one would give more stats on hours and things.

Log in through nintendo.com with your kid's account and purchase it that way.

This is sort of correct but it’s a bit more complicated. I had to have two Switch consoles to make it work.

For context, we have a Switch in the living room that my Nintendo account is set as primary and so is my sons, it allows him to play my digital games on that one. I have a Switch lite that I use and my other son also has a Switch Lite.

He was claiming each of the free games on my Switch Lite with no issues until Golden Force hit. Then he was met with that Content Restricted page. We tried logging into his account on PC and we’re met with the same Content Restricted page.

What I tried next was opening a private window on PC and searching Golden Force on Nintendo, I clicked in to purchase the game and then logged into his account at the end of the checkout process, this still didn’t work and it popped up saying “Another account on your primary Switch already purchased this game”

This error message gave me an idea, I Deregistered his account on our main Switch where I already own the game and made the Switch lite his primary Switch and then did the same method of using a private browser not logged in and then it let me get it for $0 once I was already in the checkout process and logged him in at the last stage of checkout.

When I tried the website logged in as him before going to the product page I was still met with the “Restricted Content” screen with no ability to enter an age or use parental controls to allow it or anything like that.
