Bought a 360 for Gears of War. I was PS1 then PS2. Towards the end of the PS2 life I found the games struggling a tad, where they weren't on my friends OG Xbox. Eventually he got a 360, which I was blown away by, and I been xbox through and through since.
The disc drive is my key to mainly delisted games but also using my old 360 games that are BC.
I may not buy any new games on disc however I feel having no disc drive is closing out a load of options that are no longer available to buy digitally.
I have the 360 version of blood dragon digital. Is this FPS boosted? I see the Xbox One version on sale a lot and wonder if it's worth picking that up?
I think if it had a EA Play like content library in game pass and you could upgrade to Ubisoft+ for the day one stuff? I'd.be interested. But not like this.
EA Play Pro doing something like this on xbox and not just PC would be most welcome also.
Getting a bit fed up with these offerings. Was hoping with the 360 games going that the budget so to speak would be increased. I don't mind if these GWG aren't huge games. But it's almost like they're purposely bad at this point.
I really don't want GWG to go, but do wish they'd be a lot better.
I live in hope that these were chosen before the 360 games were known to be ending, but it's small hope. 2 less games with the Xbox One games quality not improving is a major disappointment.
Confirmed this is definitely not a new feature. My step-son turned this off on his series s and hidden the xbox light against the wall to hide when his console is on.
I keep getting a message from the Xbox Game Pass app that slime rancher is leaving however it's not on this list nor on the list on Xbox. Can someone confirm?
Couple of times Original Xbox games have been treated like they have achievements. With PS Plus now having PS1 games with achievements, hopefully it's possible for the future.
Don't really understand why they use Game Pass titles for free play day weekends. Basically renders this meaningless unless you're only on Xbox Live Gold.
Good ol' Game causing confusion again. Some stores took pre-orders from open, some waiting until 2pm, Online pre-orders look to be 2pm also. Clear as mud.
There's an early achievement in a plague tale innocence for throwing some rocks just after the prologue. Hasn't clicked in on the card annoyingly though.

Kept looking at Hardspace Shipbreaker, may have even installed it a couple of times, but never managed to play it
Re: Disney Invests $1.5 In Epic To Create New Universe Connected To Fortnite
Wow. A dollar and 50 cents. Really pushing the boat out. 😏

Re: Poll: Are You Happy With May 2023's Xbox Games With Gold?
I usually complain that it's games I've never heard of. So I can't really complain that I already own podracer 😄

Re: Ubisoft Says 'Great Content' Will Allow Its Subscription Service To Compete With Xbox Game Pass
I think they've vastly overestimated what people would pay for this. EA Play was like £20 for a year wasn't it?
Re: 'Sonic Origins Plus' Brings 12 Classic Sonic Titles To Xbox In June 2023
Seems a shame that it gets the game gear edition of mean bean machine and not the mega drive version. Would love that and Sonic Spinball included.
Re: 'Crash Team Rumble' Hits Xbox This June, At An Attractive Price Point
I usually wait for games to come down anyway but I can't bring myself to buy any ABK games with the acquisition going on.

Re: Xbox's 'Stellar Shift' Controller Includes A Special Background For Series X|S Owners
Just a heads up. The 20th Anniversary controller had a dynamic background linked with it. 😊

Getting a bit fed up with these offerings. Was hoping with the 360 games going that the budget so to speak would be increased. I don't mind if these GWG aren't huge games. But it's almost like they're purposely bad at this point.

Re: Poll: Are You Happy With October 2022's Xbox Games With Gold?
I live in hope that these were chosen before the 360 games were known to be ending, but it's small hope. 2 less games with the Xbox One games quality not improving is a major disappointment.
Re: Talking Point: Is Halo 3 The Pinnacle Of The Franchise So Far?
I actually enjoyed the Halo 4 story. Appreciate that the multiplayer apparently wasn't good at the time. Feel free to correct.
Halo 5 is an absolutely terrible campaign though. Not sure what they were thinking.
Yet to play Infinite but definitely didn't feel like the massive moment it was meant to be when it released.

@Banjo- Yeah I'm not telling him that hahaha

Re: Xbox's 'Achievement Hunter' Sale Includes Games That Don't Have Achievements
Couple of times Original Xbox games have been treated like they have achievements. With PS Plus now having PS1 games with achievements, hopefully it's possible for the future.
But for the moment, just a bit lame.

Don't really understand why they use Game Pass titles for free play day weekends. Basically renders this meaningless unless you're only on Xbox Live Gold.
Re: Talking Point: What November 2021 Xbox Games With Gold Do You Want?
I'll give praise to GWG. At least 2/4 games end up being ones I've never heard of.
Re: Action-RPG Vamypr Receives Unexpected Xbox Series X|S Update
Happy with this. Sat in the backlog (somewhere)
Re: Xbox Mini Fridge: How To Pre-Order, Price, Release Date & More
Can confirm my local GAME store had 2(!) at opening. Bloke I spoke to said he covers 4 stores and there were only 8.
Online pre-orders disappeared in a second at 2pm even though they said they couldn't confirm a time.
Very disappointing as the word seems to be there won't be any more made.
Re: Xbox Mini Fridge: How To Pre-Order, Price, Release Date & More
Good ol' Game causing confusion again. Some stores took pre-orders from open, some waiting until 2pm, Online pre-orders look to be 2pm also. Clear as mud.

My sons xbox one wouldn't update fortnite saying "installation stopped"
Re: Tiny Tina's Wonderlands' Xbox Upgrade Path Is Far Too Convoluted
Don't get it. Couldn't upgrade Tony Hawk's from the Xbox One disc either.
Re: Microsoft Rewards: Earn 500 Easy Points With This New 'Animal Antics' Xbox Challenge
There's an early achievement in a plague tale innocence for throwing some rocks just after the prologue. Hasn't clicked in on the card annoyingly though.
Re: Sniper Elite 4 Receives Free Upgrade For Xbox Series X, Series S
Have to wonder why bother with the FPS boost if it was due to be upgraded?
Re: Another Three Games Will Leave Xbox Game Pass Soon (July 31)
Would strongly recommend to anyone who hasn't checked out The Touryst to do so. Really enjoyed my time with that.
Re: The New Xbox Internet Browser Is Rolling Out To More Insiders
@wazza99999 Says that in the article buddy.
Re: EA Denies It's Planning To Introduce 'TV-Style Commercials' Into Games
Assuming this is similar to the ads originally in the UFC game.
With PES potentially going free, I'm assuming this will be proper ads on the advertising boards. As long as it's not affecting game play, I'm for it.
However, having ads you HAVE TO watch, no thank you. Enough mobile games do that.
Re: Random: There's An Original Xbox Signed By The Metal Band Korn Going On eBay
Korn are by far my favourite band and listen to them every day, new and old stuff.
Love Xbox enough to check this site multiple times a day.
A Korn signed Xbox? Not for that money. =)
Re: Forza Horizon 5 Dev Feels 'Pretty Great' About All Versions Of The Game, Including Xbox One
@BlueOcean Is Forza Horizon 3 even on the store anymore? Would love to check it out.
Re: This Kickstarter Aims To Turn The Xbox Series S Into A Portable Console
xCloud on a non-gaming laptop is cool but not if you're somewhere with poor internet. This is a great option.
Re: Free Play Days: Try These Xbox Games For Free (June 10-13)
Weekends like this, is it just enticing gold members to get Game Pass?
Re: Surprise! The Full Version Of Tell Me Why Is Now Free On Xbox
Really enjoyed this. As a result, bought and played Life is strange 1 and Before the storm since. Bought 2 and starting that soon.
Re: Video: Watch Today's Sonic Central 30th Anniversary Event Here
Looking forward to Origins. Hopefully all in 16:9 (is that too much to ask?!)
Re: Borderlands 3 Is Getting Crossplay On Xbox, But Not With PlayStation
Sony are so good aren't they?
Re: Woah, NBA 2K21 For Xbox Series X Just Got A Serious Discount
For the UK store, the non-next gen version is also down to £3.99!
Re: Talking Point: What June 2021 Xbox Games With Gold Do You Want?
To be fair, it's true that these games are hardly mind blowing or exciting. However I do pick them all up and check out the odd game.
Yes they could be better, especially when compared to PS+, but they're still free.
Re: Maid Of Sker Is Getting An Xbox Series X Update And New Mode
Got this when it was GWG not long ago. Will wait for the upgrade to check it out.
Re: Deals: 150+ Games Included In This Week's Xbox Sales (May 18-25)

Re: PSA: Buying Mass Effect Legendary Edition? You Can Get 6000 Microsoft Points For Free
Has anyone been able to do this as of yet? I've punched the card, pre-ordered through the store but nothing has happened.
Re: WRC 9 Has Dropped To An Unexpectedly Low Price On The UK Xbox Store
Big thanks to you guys at Pure Xbox for this. Just picked this up.
Re: Crysis Remastered Has Received An Xbox Series X Update
Uh... Why would you play Performance mode on Series X when quality mode is also 60fps?
Re: The Evil Within's Xbox Game Pass For PC Version Contains New Features
@BlueOcean Needs an FPS boost too!
Re: Free Play Days: Try These Xbox Games For Free (March 11-14)
Something that isn't on game pass might have been nice!
Re: Site News: Pure Xbox Officially Relaunched One Year Ago Today!
No Pure Xbox, thank you! I'm on here at least twice a day! 😁
Re: Phil Spencer Calls The Acquisition Of Tango Gameworks A 'Great Step' For Xbox's Japan Presence
FPS Boost for Evil Within please. It's only been a few years but the game could look better.
Re: Xbox Game Pass Is Getting More Bethesda Games Later This Week
All their games currently on the store... WITH FPS BOOST.
Very wishful but not impossible.
