Microsoft Xbox Discussion Part II

Amazon has a slight sale on the three month game pass, from 45 down to 38, and they can stack. Or maybe wait a few weeks and see if there's a better deal?

You can probably get a 12 month EA Play code cheaper. They cost around 20 euros here. It converts into 4 months of Ultimate Game Pass. Not sure if you need to have an active UGP before using the code.

I did that earlier in the year when I got my Series S, got like a year for 90 dollars, but I read that in the summer Microsoft stopped the converting

I see that it now converts into two months.

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone here has had any luck using the HotStock app or any other method to score a Series X when they drop? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I'd like to get one as soon as possible and I know how difficult it can be, I don't want to encourage scalpers either. Just looking for some feel good stories of people who managed to do it before losing hope for good lmao. I'm in Canada btw.

Really want a series X but hard to find

I ended up getting mine about a year ago off of FB marketplace for $650. I think I've seen some on there recently for like $700 which is better than some of the large resellers. Offer up might be a good option as well. Otherwise, you have to stalk the major retailer's Web Sites and keep searching for info on when additional inventory is dropping.

The annoying this is Walmart and Amazon have all these resellers on their sites.

Some good info here,

It's impossible to find except on sites like Stock X or on Walmart for two-hundred dollars extra.

I got a series X by just randomly checking on bestbuy.com a few times a day, got the PS5 from gamestop after signing up for email alerts and going online after they sent an email out around lunchtime one day, took longer than previous gens but I had the XB around or shortly after xmas and PS5 sometime in early spring I think

Thanks for your response man! I was able to get one today from Game Stop, I called this morning without any expectation and it turns out they had some in stock. I saw at least 3 other people buy one while I was paying, super happy that my timing was good for once haha.

One of my Finnish gaming friends ordered one of these, she might be getting it on Monday.

My wallet is about to get pillaged today. The max Payne trilogy and F.EA.R? I been waiting so long.

Might even pick up that 50 cent game lmao

 

[aleshemsky83]

Oh man, Otogi 1 and 2 added to backwards compatibility. Just made my day.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Max Payne 3 or 50 cent isn't available on the store yet. Hoping it's not physical only BC.

I didn't even realize these existed but you're right there are BC games you can't buy digitally. Max Payne 3 is available for me but not 50 cent. Might be region specific.

Halo Infinite multiplayer is damn fun. Xbox is owning 2021.

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

Halo and Forza in consecutive weeks is a pretty big flex. Still have the campaign coming too.

Two XGS titles were nominated for Game of the Year at The Game Awards - Deathloop and Psychonauts 2. Forza got snubbed, which to me was a pretty clear GOTY front runner

 

[Hammettf2b]

Question about M&K for the Series X. I want to use my current (wired) M&K that I use for my PC and be able to use it on the Xbox as well. I figure a KVM switch would do the trick but I'm not sure on the differences. There's this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N6GD9JO/ref=emc_b_5_t one which is USB 3.0. Will there be much of a difference between the 2.0 and this? And I see that there is an optional power supply you can get for it. I assume that's not something I would need? Just wanted to make sure I get the smoothest experience possible.

Probably missed the deadline. Which makes you wonder why the deadline isn't December 31st?

 

[Jussi]

Phil Spencer confirmed Elder Scrolls 6 is Xbox exclusive.

 

[Beau Knows]

Exclusive to xbox, but also exclusive to PC lol

But I don't even know why they're bothering to talk about it, it's not coming out for years.

It met the deadline since its nominated in other categories. Plus, all it does is push you into the next year, hence why Cyberpunk has a nomination this year.

Just before Christmas to probably try and drum up more sales even though it’s not here for a couple more years. Huge news regardless.
