@themightyant Would you really mind the price going up if you're getting the amount of games being added with these purchases? For someone like me who loves a cod story, absolutely loves all the blizzard stuff this is amazing news and even a couple of extra quid a month would still be cracking value for money.
@Dezzy70 It's a growing and alarming trend in fairness. I managed to get my series X from Amazon who sold it on it's own. Argos do it as well but the rest are all bundling needless crap in.
I started with the PS5 but I'll be honest, the controller was horrible and they went 10 steps back with the UI so it just gathered dust for a few months post launch. Decided to get a series X after the MS show at E3 when I seen how good Game Pass is and haven't looked back. Really impressed with the console, elite controller and what Game Pass has to offer.
After Andromeda and Anthem, Bioware have made it's way to my "see what reviews say first list".Long gone are the days of getting a pre-order in for their games as soon as i's possible.
I hope they can get this one right though as I absolutely loved the first three.
LG are due to release 42" OLED's next year. I assume they will come with HDMI 2.1 for the next gen consoles and 120hz. They're likely to be cheaper than these in a few months and far superior.I'm holding out for one for the series X set up.
@GuyinPA75 Problem is, the last 3 Battlefield games have launched in a terrible state. I don't have faith in DICE or EA to have fixed half the issues present in the beta.
One to wait for reviews and a few patches I'd imagine.
I've just had an hour on it now and bar a really psycho American guy sulking that bots were killing him like it was the HCS finals or something, it's a really good first impression.
@CrazyJF I'd assume it's driving engagement as I'm one who recently jumped ship following E3 due to the strength of the Gamepass showing. Several of my family members have also done the same. Why pay £70 a game when you pay less than half of two games for a year of awesomeness with Gamepass.
@Fiendish-Beaver I have a 2016 C model OLED and the picture on that is stunning. The new ones are even better so I get the feeling you're really going to enjoy that purchase
I've not owned an xbox since the early last gen, but gamepass is just too good to ignore now. I'll be picking up a series X as soon as I can get a hold of one.

Re: Microsoft Is Buying Activision Blizzard, Reportedly For $70 Billion
@themightyant the time element is a fair point, my steam backlog is longer than my legs these days without gamepass!

That was some trailer! Looks more interesting than the last few movies they’ve done! Fingers crossed it lives up to the initial hype.
Re: Heads Up, Halo Infinite's Campaign Won't Be Getting A Pre-Load
I'm sorry but there is absolutely no excusing not having a pre-load available for a new game in this day and age.
Very poor form

Re: Video: Bright Memory: Infinite Is Looking Promising In New Gameplay
Who thought that much screen shake would be a good idea? Game itself looks decent enough but no way I could play with all that shake!

Destiny & Some Halo Beta when on. Going to give Avengers a go at some point now the download is complete.

I've not owned an xbox since the early last gen, but gamepass is just too good to ignore now. I'll be picking up a series X as soon as I can get a hold of one.
