Annoying but I suppose it had to happen some day. Probably won't resub when mine is up in a couple years.

I suppose if one was to take advantage of the 3:2 ratio, then it also affects how long you will have game pass subbed for. Because you can only stack 3 years so you'd end up with 2 years and 1 month (the GPU month you bought to convert it)

@Scummbuddy there's a slot on the back but I couldn't fit the n64 expansion pack removal tool in there and now I have to go through an annoying warranty process with Microsoft

I mean, it said expansion slot so I assumed it was for the expansion pak 🤷‍♂️

Had better luck jamming the rumble pak in to the battery slot on my Xbox controller though 👍

I heard from an anonymous friend in the FTC that the e-mail contained an animated gif file depicting a cartoon Phil Spencer defecating all over a bunch of Playstation 5s

I wonder how this gen would have panned out if Xbox had only released the Series S at the £250 price point, almost half the price of the PS5.

I mean it's good to have options but without the knowledge of the Series X, could a standalone Series S at a budget price have a similar market impact to a £129 GameCube or a £179 Wii against their more expensive contemporaries?

Ahhh, wish they'd announced this before the eshop shut down, would have saved me 60 quid!

@Dusk_Actual wicked mate, everything alright with you?

We'll look forward to your return! Just give us a shout if you want to be added back to the tag list or just pop along for some casual clubbing if you want

@Dusk_Actual done

Also, thought I'd post my Photoshop from last month's game club here as I feel like it didn't get enough attention 😂

Lol beat me to the punch this month! @FraserG

I had to click the Results button because there wasn't an "All of them" option 😅

Why? 😂

I suppose you get a free dinner, could be useful with the current cost of living

Omdz, Talos Principle 2!!!!

I know you can just plug a usb mouse and keyboard into the Xbox but I do wonder if a wireless Xbox branded KB+M along with a suite of compatible software along with some savvy marketing would bolster desire for traditionally PC genres on console

Lol what on earth was this about.

I probably would play an inspector gadget game if it was either £1 or on game pass

@Kaloudz I think it's pronounced youbesoft but I still say ooobesoft

I think it's just my London accent

I pronounce mario with the "ma" sound like map rather than march

I pronounce Ryu with the Ry sound like sky rather than we

And I pronounce Yoshi like Yo-shee and not like yosch-ee

I picked those out because those are the ones I know I say incorrectly, at least compared to most people 😂

I used to play a demo of Chasm on PC when I was little. It must have been a floppy disk I got with a magazine or something.

I tried finding it for ages as an adult but never realised it had a subtitle which is pro probably where I was going wrong!

Oh dear, Ninja Gaiden trilogy is next on my list then 😭

I just finished Hot Wheels Unleashed and I'm half way through Sniper Elite 5 from last month's article. I guess they will leave at the end of May if they are gonna go this month

@Scummbuddy you should join us in the forum thread and stick a vote in for it!

Id still wait for a sale on those lol

@Nugziam cheers, was it one of them Add On Sales? might be worth waiting then as I probably won't get around to playing it for ages anyway. I'll just pick up the base game for now.

Does anyone know if the DLC for force unleashed ever goes on sale? I'm Gona pick up both games for £3 each but the DLC is pricey and I don't know whether it's worth waiting or whether I should just buy it at the same time

I think I'll wait for a game pass release on this one. I thought the first one was wicked though so i am looking forward to the sequel

Does the Xbox version of podracer support 4K?

I played through it on Switch and thought it was beautiful. Would love to see what a 4K upgrade looks like

@Tharsman not a lot actually outside of licensed games or games with moderate/heavy licensing leg work that would need to be done like guitar hero and Tony hawk's.

The 2009 Wolfenstein would be a good get though

I doubt they will but I hope they restart the Backwards Compatible program if this goes through.

Ahh it's a base! Apologies I am both British and allergic to IRL sports 😅

What is it? A coccyx pillow?

I might enter, I do have a bad lower back

@FraserG fair enough, cheers!

Do the original monkey island games ever get discounted?

This reminds me of something out of the programme Veep lol

Thankfully I've played Mirrors Edge but I still need to tick off Bad Company 1&2

RIP agent Broyles!

Wicked, should be a good month! 🧡

Looks great! Unfortunately I don't think I need any more controllers

Incredibly ballsy for them to have no cover star whatsoever. Just WWE 2K23 with a blank space underneath it!

The Rock, Kevin Hart, Jack Black and Karen Gillen

I tried Telling Lies before Xmas after playing and enjoying Immortality. I couldn't really get into TL though, it seemed a bit more obtuse than Immortality. I don't think I really had the patience for it. Maybe if it was for game club, I'd have been able to give it a better go with all the support, tips and experiences of the community.

Donut County is worth spending a few hours to complete. I found it quite nostalgic for my early 20s so probs good for millenials. Nice coming of age story

@themightyant I played a couple levels of it but I wasn't really in the right head space for it so I decided to let it go and deleted it.

It was ok. It's a first person photo-em-up. You can pet the doggies and you have ridiculously long arms when you do, especially the little pups. It's quite cute.

Haven't got much to lose by giving it a try at least!

I'm surprised he resisted the temptation to turn that controller side ways, take Bill down Know Your Role Boulevard to the corner of Jabroni Drive and check him into the Smackdown Hotel!

I better give Wreckfest a go this month then!

@PhileasFragg fair play. I have downloaded it but I don't think it was the game I thought it was from the screenshots/icon. Will give it a go at some point anyway as it won't cost me anything but time (and the paparazzi song living rent free in my head every time I think about it 😅)

🧡 should be a good one this month 🤞

Hmm might check out pupperazi

Happy New year @FraserG and the rest of the PX staff. Always had a blast here and I love the community this site has fostered after it's reboot.

Best wishes for everyone 🧡

I'd hate to give it a letter but I would say it has been "Satisfactory" on both sides.

Xbox has been my main machine for a while now. I play most of my games there unless it's ps exclusive and even then I haven't felt terribly compelled to get a PS5 yet as I can probably wait for a price drop before I even have time to get around to any of the PS5 exclusives. A Metal Gear Solid game would change that for me though.

Generally, game pass has been great. But that started before the Series' came out. Most games I have played on GP. I've played through multiple Yakuza games, a lot of our game club choices and found a few other surprises over the last couple years. Highly worth it.

Series X + GPU has been so reasonably priced compared to the competition through a combination of a half price Series X (other half paid for by Rewards points) and 3 years of GPU for £130 (using the Gold>Ultimate Conversion trick which I've used twice now)

Having said that, if more information was available about the new ps plus at the time and I had tons of money (which I didn't and still don't), I would have bought years of PS Now to get the half price premium tier for the foreseeable future. But without a PS5 and without a mountain of spare cash available, I'm not terribly sad that I have missed out just yet.

Cheers and happy Christmas to fellow users and all the staff. Stay well. It can be a difficult time for all.

@themightyant sounds more like this tier would be YouTube levels of ads. At least an ad before but while not mentioned, I wonder if ads would interrupt the game

While I've always supported the notion of removing the ad tiles from the home screen, the nightmare scenario I just envisioned made me so physically sick that I'm almost grateful that it's only ad tiles for now 😂

@FraserG best band ever imo! 😃

Am I the only one who read the tag line to the tune of Queens Another one Bites the dust?

And another batch joins, another batch joins, another batch joins the list!
