Xbox One: Thread 06 - Discontinued Edition

[wakka]

Yeah I wouldn't worry about State of Decay 2 disappearing [MENTION=9465]Brad[/MENTION], it's a Microsoft Studios game.

I'm in a similar 'Game Pass or PS+' quandary. I think I'm going to can PS+ for now tbh.

[Paulos G]

I love Game Pass. It satisfies my need to have eleventy-billion games to play with no chance of me ever playing them at a much more reasonable price than actually paying for all the full versions of the fecking things!

[Brad]

Cheers [MENTION=5490]wakka[/MENTION]. So ms games tend to hang around? Handy to know.

[wakka]

Yes indeed, that’s my understanding.

[Nico87]

Yes, they're essentially the pillars of Game Pass, can't see them going back on their word. I agree that GP is amazing but I really wanted a physical 360/X1 collection. Games were dirt cheap anyway.

Fowl looking Fortnite edition purple XBO set for official reveal soon

[Deuteros]

Fowl?!

Ducking autocorrect, I imagine.

Another UI change is inbound:

[EvilBoris]

It came through yesterday for me, it's a very minor change. but at least I don't need to scroll through community and mixer to get to the store now.

[Yakumo]

Oh, I hadn't noticed any change yesterday. I'll take a closer look tonight.

Gears of War 5 Xbox One X model announced:

[BIG EDD]

Looks stunning
I've pre ordered the pad for my X

[wakka]

At this point, you have to wonder who that product is for. Hardcore Gears of War fans...who don't already own an Xbox One?

It seems crazy to drop £450 on an Xbox One when we're less than 14 months from new hardware all round.

I guess it's just for collectors.

[Digfox]

Yea, MS did seem to be more active with the special edition consoles last gen. I actually purchased the Halo Reach 360 when I wanted to upgrade to a Slim console. Whilst I might have done anyway at least the Reach console spurred me on.

I personally don't like that Gears 5 XBX but it's great it exists.
