I had great fun with this last night. Came 2nd on my first game. Raging. Going to have a go at playing with my boys (6 & 4) later by linking up on switch, XB1 on tv, and series S via remote play. Hope it works as I think they'll love it.
Tempted by Hot Wheels unleashed for the youngsters. Heard good things. Will wait til Sunday to see if anything coming up soon i should keep my rewards points for - although guessing the majority of reveals will be Game Pass anyway
Picked up the complete edition recently for 15.99 - thought it was worth it anyway for the DLC even though the base game coming to gamepass (and i used points so no real cost anyway). Looking forward to getting stuck in as played and enjoyed odyssey and i read this is better.
@Medic_Alert There are some of us though. I'm an enthusiast gamer who can't afford the Series X right now. Had to scrimp and save just to be able to get the Series S. Without it I would have been essentially locked out of this generation until about half way through (just like previous couple of gens). Helps that I dont have a 4K TV too.
I'm sure fans felt it was bad at the time but boy what a turnaround. By the time I came to get an Xbox One it was a few years in. I got a prime day deal bundled with Kinect (which was on its way out) and it was fantastic. Have the kinect set up in our living room as it is a far better way of letting my parents talk to their grandchildren through skype than us all crowding round a small tablet screen. I loved my XB1 and still love it even though i've moved on to a Series S, which really just feels like an extension of and faster loading XB1.
@Shigurui I bought on a whim during sale using rewards points. Only played Act 1 so far and it is far better than I expected. The world and story have hooked me so can overlook any bugs that come my way so long as they don't break the game.
I started with the discovery flight over Manhatten then took off from St. Angelo airport outside my hometown of Enniskillen and went to find my parents house. Can't wait to explore again. Did some of the basic training and have managed takeoff but no landings yet.
Picked up both KOTORs as I haven't owned on xbox before and interested in playing on my series S. Used rewards points so didn't cost me a thing. Will scratch that bioware itch until Mass Effect trilogy comes out.
I have around 44K. Havent got my eye on anything particular but might use them if I see any good deals or maybe save them up for the new wireless headset (if its ever back in stock)

Yoku is indeed a great game.
Re: Xbox Series S 'xScreen' Starts Shipping Next Month
Too expensive for me to justify personally but this looks so cool!
Re: Soapbox: Bring Back Guitar Hero On Xbox Game Pass For The Emo Teen Parties
If a new GH was on game pass and you could buy a new peripheral it would be a day one purchase for me (very rare for me to do!)

Re: Pick One: Which Of These Is Your Favourite Activision Blizzard Franchise?
Love my guitar hero. Would love if they could make the 360 peripherals and games work on newer systems (although expect it probably can't be done)
Re: Talking Point: What's The First Game You'd Recommend Downloading On Xbox Game Pass?
One of my top games ever is Day of the Tentacle so I'd recommend the remaster on gamepass if folks have never played it.
Was the first game I downloaded when I signed up - and I've played it through many many times before.

@The_New_Butler I wouldn't be surprised if Psychonauts 2 was stealth released during E3 in June.
