Re: Two Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (September 14)

Operation was straight forward. Have had removal of (thankfully) non cancerous tumor and some biopsies done. Pain after is awful. God bless the NHS though. Staff were amazing but struggling under pressure. Got recovery now. 2 to 3 weeks. Although may work from home if feeling better. Joys of passing blood out of orifices that shouldn't and peeing razor blades. Co-codamol, plenty of water, rest, movies and videos games. Do need to thank Nintendo for kindly putting out a Direct on my first day off as well. My Xbox backlog is into hundreds, plus switch (cracked open Zelda) and may dust off my PS5.

Re: Xbox Congratulates Nintendo On The Release Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom

Some of these replies take me back to being in the playground in the 90s with kids shouting about SEGA and Nintendo. Can't people be happy about great games being released (Late night last night playing Zelda.)
I have all the current gen consoles thanks to a retro console clear out and some very aggressive ebay bidders. Used my Microsoft reward points to buy a cheap PSVR. I have enough games to last me several life times on my Xbox, switch and PlayStation consoles. I'm happy just enjoying gaming. I'm excited to see what's next for Xbox. Looking forward to the "Not E3" Nintendo direct. Possibly Spiderman 2 on PS5.
Xbox will be fine. They have some amazing studios to produce games and we will start seeing the fruits of their labor soon. People really just need to chill.

Re: Indie Dev Reminds Us The Xbox Series S Is Capable Of 4K, 120FPS

@Dr_Luigi My son's grandparents wanted to get him a series s this week (father in-law is end of life and spoiling the family as says he can't take it with him.) Me and my wife discussed the pros and cons together. Disc drive, more storage and a bit more future proofed we put the extra £200 for a series X. Still think the series s has its place but now you can walk into a shop and pick up a series X no problem it's getting less appealing.

Re: Random: 'Sexy' Yakuza Screenshot Got Me Banned, Says Xbox User

I've had 2 bans in my life, one on Xbox and one on Playstation. Xbox ban was due to buying a second hand 360 from GAME and had a ban a couple of days later for reasons unknown but linked to the console (was never told by Microsoft but was a console ban. Luckily was under warranty.) The second was my own stupid fault. Hacked an old PS3 to use as a multi region Blu ray/DVD player to watch of all things an American box set of Malcolm in the middle (that I still have) and stupidity left my profile on it. Jumped on my PS4 to find a lovely account ban and all my digital games lost. Well worth the £2.50 I bought the box set for from a charity shop. Since this I've had nothing thankfully.
