Well, I still think the Series X is the best console right now and it's actually worth its price. But for someone, who would start now after over 4 years, it's pretty crazy. The next XBox could arrive in 2027.
Also about 70% of players didn't complete the first chapter of Indiana Jones. I think, if you're actually buying a game, there's more attraction to play it. In case of Game Pass Ultimate, I guess most people don't know what to play anymore because of the ridiculous amount of games.
That's also a reason, I stopped GP Ultimate. I don't have the time for all of this. It took me like a month to complete Indiana Jones. Now I'm waiting for Doom The Dark Ages and I can't decide what to play in the waiting time. I have way more games than I get to play.
@Krzzystuff PowerA has made wireless Xbox controllers in the meantime with Hall Effect sticks. I recommend those. They use a USB dongle for wireless play
What a horrible evolution. Maybe it's also due to the delivery problems with the Series X over some weeks. At least in Germany, it's fixed in the meantime. But there's no denying that digital has the bigger part of sales today. I still know why I'm buying games physical, but also, physical means full shelves in the living room, so I started buying "some" games digital.
@Fiddleroyolanda and you're perfectly showing, that you are a PS5 fanboy. Which means, you're judging me for something, you're doing yourself. I hope you're getting banned soon here.
@Fiddleroyolanda I'm am Xbox fan on an Xbox site. I just want Xbox to be as successful as it deserves to be again. And I'm getting insulted for that as a "loser" from ??? Who are.... I won't get on your low level of behavior, I reported you.
I don't get it. What's so special about that? As far as I know, streaming is already available trough XBox Game Pass Ultimate. Or is it about games, which are not inside the Game Pass library? I would enjoy a better option to stream my disc games to my tablet.
@Millionski oh yes, I'm very interested. The thing is, I can't get rid of that: I want to own these games. So games, I really want, I buy these. It makes me happier than just paying for a subscription. It feels like endless paying. For the wallet, I guess it's smarter just using Game Pass Ultimate. And with my physical collection, I'm so busy that i realized, it's not worth it for me. For some indie games, I say Game Pass is great. For example: Unpacking I had a great time, great game. It was short, it was fun. I don't need to own this. But games like Atelier Yumia, Doom The Dark Ages, Indiana Jones, I just need to buy these.
@Millionski I have an opinion about subscriptions. Not that I'm totally against everything. I think for some people, Game Pass Ultimate is a good deal. And of course stacking is still possible. For me personally, Ultimate just isn't worth it anymore.
I ordered mine already. The standard Series Wireless one, shut up and take my money. But they can keep that Elite model, never again will i buy that crap thing.
I have no special game in mind. I would absolutely party a new wave of backwards compatible games, some missing ones from OG XBox or some more from 360. Beyond that, I wish that more people start realizing how great XBox Series X is.
I playing this right now, I'm in the Himalaya chapter. So I played this way more than 70% of XBox gamers who didn't even complete the first chapter. π I like it, even if it has some flaws.
That's not easy to say. All I know is, that I have a blast of a time with my Series X and way to many games, which i enjoy and don't have enough time for all of them.
@DalamarX I didn't say, I don't want a Switch 2. I'm just realistic. I don't care about the 3rd party games on Switch 2, because I have a Series X. But I want to play Mario Kart and Donkey Kong. But I won't buy a Switch 2 day 1.
I don't give a crap right now. The release date is way too early for my taste, I still have a lot to play and complete on the regular Switch and luckily, Metroid Prime 4 is on Switch as well. I'm not that receivable anymore to Nintendo than I used to be, when I was younger. I definitely won't buy a Switch 2 that soon, also I pretty pricey and not that much cheaper than a Series X. And i already have a Series X, which I use way more than my Switch.
The Game Pass Ultimate already has what? 800 games or so? No one can play all of this in his lifetime and I don't believe, that maybe more than 10 people care about playing the old CoD games online today.
And of course, Microsoft won't want to put all their stuff inside immediately.
It's like the garbage Switch Online content, where month after month after month Nintendo puts in very old games and people are actually happy for it and are again paying for another year of overpriced online gaming.
Bit for bit, feed the people so they think this subscription is a good deal. ππΌ
I also don't get why some people are paying monthly for playing games like Diablo 4 or Persona 5 instead of just buying these games, which would be a way better deal. π
Not really interested in this game and too busy with other games. I wouldn't have time for Game Pass. Right now, I'm playing Indiana Jones and there are still several hours left, I still didn't complete Sniper Elite Resistance, which really enjoyed so far. Than, Assassins Creed Shadows is already in the pipeline and also Atelier Yumia. I'm playing Split Fiction with my wife between and I'm a fighting game liver and love to play Street Fighter 6 and WWE 2k25 on the Series X. And time is my biggest enemy.π
@ozkrmz alright, I get your point and that's OK. And you are right, my place for physical games isn't infinite as well. But I can't get rid of that, that I want a lot of my games physical. On the other hand, digital is ok as well. Both should be there in the future.
This would definitely ruin a lot for me, if the next XBox doesn't have a disc drive, since most of my games are on disc. But if they are working on the next round of backwards compatibility, it would be absolutely dumb, not to offer a disc drive.

Re: Talking Point: Would You Still Buy An Xbox At Microsoft's 2025 Prices?
Well, I still think the Series X is the best console right now and it's actually worth its price.
But for someone, who would start now after over 4 years, it's pretty crazy. The next XBox could arrive in 2027.
Re: Xbox #1 Platform For Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, But Worst For Average Playtime
Also about 70% of players didn't complete the first chapter of Indiana Jones.

In case of Game Pass Ultimate, I guess most people don't know what to play anymore because of the ridiculous amount of games.
Re: Xbox Is Raising The Price Of Consoles, Games And Accessories
This is really heavy. No generation like this before. Even though I would say, the Series X with disc drive is the worth that price.
Re: Talking Point: Xbox Fans, How Do You Find Time For All These Amazing 2025 Games?
That's also a reason, I stopped GP Ultimate. I don't have the time for all of this. It took me like a month to complete Indiana Jones. Now I'm waiting for Doom The Dark Ages and I can't decide what to play in the waiting time. I have way more games than I get to play.

Re: Gearbox Announces New, Earlier Release Date For Borderlands 4 On Xbox
@Tasuki thanks for the advice, mate. I'll keep that in mind.
Was asking myself one day, if Tiny Tinas Wonderland might be good.
Re: Gearbox Announces New, Earlier Release Date For Borderlands 4 On Xbox
Never played any of the games so far. But I really enjoyed that movie. Maybe I'll give Borderlands 4 a try.
Re: Digital Foundry Impressed With Oblivion Remastered, But Xbox Series S 'Takes A Hit'
No wonder. Series S is a cheap hardware, so it's cheap graphics. Very amusing that people defend that little white box.

Re: Digital-Only Xbox Series X|S Consoles Have Accounted For 75% Of Sales So Far In 2025

I won't get on your low level of behavior, I reported you.
Re: Xbox Is Already Achieving Massive Success With Oblivion Remastered
@FraserG yeah, I know what you mean. You're right about that.
Re: Xbox Is Already Achieving Massive Success With Oblivion Remastered
Annoying, that PS5 is again immediately supported. XBox should have its absolute domination right now... π
Re: Opinion: South Of Midnight Dev Could Become An Xbox Game Studios Gem

Re: Indiana Jones PS5 Fans Not Happy With Xbox's Physical Media Habits
PS5 gamers can be grateful, that they get to play this game!
Re: Talking Point: What Dream Reveal Would You Like To See At The Xbox Games Showcase 2025?

Since I don't use Ultimate anymore, I will wait for a price drop. But I'm really looking forward to it.

Re: Switch 2 Fares Well Against Xbox Series S In Street Fighter 6 Comparison

But I want to play Mario Kart and Donkey Kong.
But I won't buy a Switch 2 day 1.

Yeah yeah, some people already believe, Switch 2 can mess with PS5 and Series X. π Believing is for free, gladly.
Re: South Of Midnight Dev Reminds Us Of Launch Times On Xbox Game Pass
No disc, no buy.
At least not full price!
Re: Review: South Of Midnight (Xbox) - A Fantastic, Soulful Outing From Xbox Game Studios
I'm really looking forward to this one. I'm just so sad, that it only gets this digital release.
So I'll wait up and get it maybe at a smaller price
Re: Switch 2 Feature Reminds People Of The Disastrous Xbox One Launch
I don't give a crap right now. The release date is way too early for my taste, I still have a lot to play and complete on the regular Switch and luckily, Metroid Prime 4 is on Switch as well.
I'm not that receivable anymore to Nintendo than I used to be, when I was younger.
I definitely won't buy a Switch 2 that soon, also I pretty pricey and not that much cheaper than a Series X.

Re: Talking Point: Will Any Next-Gen Xbox Have A Disc Drive?
@ozkrmz alright, I get your point and that's OK.
And you are right, my place for physical games isn't infinite as well. But I can't get rid of that, that I want a lot of my games physical. On the other hand, digital is ok as well. Both should be there in the future.
Re: Talking Point: Will Any Next-Gen Xbox Have A Disc Drive?
@ozkrmz thankfully, the world doesn't spin around you.
Re: Talking Point: Will Any Next-Gen Xbox Have A Disc Drive?
