Average so far. Few glitches and bugs but nothing outrageous. I'd go maybe 5 or 6/10 from what I've pllayed thus far

It will be $219 @ BJs on black Friday in the US. A few retailers last few years have done the S + $50 gift card for $250 essentially making it $199. Expect similar bundles this year

Great news! I could never really get into the game personally after 5 or 6 attempts but always great more people get to play more games!

Solid game, its no Horizon but has a lot of variety and is good fun to play. Well worth a buck

My. God of it's Forza I'll totally spend a few more hundred hours playing on the PS5. Can't.think of any others that would really move the needle for me but look forward to the news nonetheless

These games were terrific, hopefully we get Defiance eventually as well

3 different tiers is the absolute max they can do. I'm actually surprised a cloud only tier hasn't been introduced thus far, I'd definitely consider it if it included day one releases

Not terrible but nothing really special thus far. Our Xbox has been reduced to a Forza/MLB/Ocassional crossplay box for the last few months or so. Not that thats bad thing just hasn't been a standout 1st half of the year at all

@trev666 $350/€350, $450/€500, $600/€650

B+, great pacing, very little wasted time, lots of games even those that aren't my cup of tea looked great. Much better than expected, by far the best of the summer!

C, was a good production overall, the expected ads weren't too obtrusive for the most part which is a plus. Really only 1 game I'd consider buying but I can appreciate the variety

Love our little S, never had any issues with it and it plays everything we throw at it perfectly fine. Thought about going to the X many times but just not really worth it for us. Even if it died not sure I would buy another one as they're so cheap nowadays. Glad MS gave us the option.

Horizon 6 would make it an A+ event by itself!! Nothing else really moves me from that list though new hardware is always exciting

Way too many once again. Most end up being watered down and forgettable for the most part. Hopefully there will be some nice surprises sprinkled in

Not a huge COD fan but I'll definitely check out the campaign on GP. Expected but still a great addition, hope they add the older ones eventually too!

Graphically it's absolutely stellar! Gameplay is another story but it definitely does look terrific!

Forza Horizon games. Still literally the only reason I have an Xbox at this point

Couldn't really get into the first one at all but willing to give this a go. Thanks for the review!

Fun little game, I had a good time with it. Hope those in Xbox enjoy!

@CaptnTedo man that sucks. Worked fine for me this morning just as always. The search timer is very inconsistent from my exp for whatever reason. Some days it let's me rapid fire searches and the next it seems like 20+ seconds are needed in between. Hope it gets back on track for you!

Looks interesting, no harm in signing up. Thanks for the info!

@CaptnTedo saying only 80 points a day is quite an exaggeration. I'm up to 350+ a day before even finishing breakfast lol. While it's definitely down from where it was in the past, it's not THAT bad. The search nerf is not nearly as egregious as people have made it seem, at least from my experience

Definitely a bit disappointing but there's still more than enough to get Gamepass for "free" so not really the end of the world. Not a good trend though I will admit

THPS would be my personal choice. Though my oldest has really gotten into the COD campaigns as of late so all of those older ones would be much appreciated too!

No I'm good. Had it been around at launch I probably would've gone for it. Happy with our little S until next box whatever that ends up being!

Should've had this from start, I most likely would've bought over the S. Problem now is how the heck are they going to price it. The 1TB S goes for 350 retail, it's very easy to get a new X for around 400 nowadays. Unless they're going to knock down the prices on the low end this isn't going to do to well I think.

@Spaceman-Spiff yeah I've noticed this as well the system is very slow to update for whatever reason. Usually takes hours to register from my experience

Horrible but we've gotten used to it. Usually only have 3 or 4 games installed at a time, thankful cloud streaming works so well!

As long as GPU stays the same not to bothered by any other increases. They seem to make tweaks and adjustments to this almost monthly at this point. Wonder what the reason is

Wheel support is an absolute must for this one. Will check it out once it gets added, definitely looking forward to it.

Absolutely! It's worked great for years now. Have had very few issues with it especially recently, very pleased with it

Some surprises that aren't years away hopefully. Can't say I'm too excited about any of the exclusives they have coming up that we know about. Hopefully a slight hardware refresh and perhaps the LONG overdue family gamepass plan

Going to spend dozens of hours playing this, can already tell. Hopefully it has solid wheel support!

This is just sad. I hope the people who are genuinely upset by this find some shred of happiness in their lives. Such a shockingly stupid thing to get upset about.

Definitely not. Grounded and Pentiment are wholly unintering to me and played enough SoT and Hi-Fi Rush to know they aren't for me either.

This really could've been a tweet or a blog post tbh. They really didn't say much and nothing has really changed in my view. Seems a lot of people lost their minds for no reason at all

Hopefully they don't beat around the bush and get right into it. Looking forward to seeing what they have to say

Not at all, one of the most disappointing games of 2023 for me. Was extremely excited for it, but playing it honestly made me wish I was playing other racing games. Just didn't hook me like I wanted it to unfortunately.

This is wild to say the least. Bring over Horizon and I'd sell my Xbox immediately 😂

Even though there's a multitude of substitutes at the moment, I'd be much more inclined to buy a first party Xbox "switch-like" device with docking capability over just another regular console. Very interesting rumor indeed.

None, no point in it for us.

Love gaming as much as anyone, but man what a seemingly terrible industry to work in. Pretty much a daily thing now, hope folks land on their feet soon.

Nothing really for me but defiantly some great looking games, glad there's excitement!

I got to play the beta a couple months ago. My takeaway is it's not a "bad" game. The shooting is fine and the mechanics are solid. It's just wholly unremarkable and cookie cutter. Slapping in DC characters is almost a disservice as it just opens up more scrutiny. Had it been something original like a Outriders I think it would've helped. Played enough to know that I don't really need to touch it again. I doubt it's going to review well and really hope it doesn't drastically effect Rocksteady as a developer.

Though overall I was kind of disappointed with it I'd pick Forza as the best of the bunch.

I'd say 2025 most likely. Hopefully they add a ton of new wrinkles to whatever FH6 ends up being. While the Horizon games are far and away my favorites on the Xbox, just making it in a new locale won't be enough imo. I trust playground though, I'm sure whatever they cook up will be great!

Pretty great their adding newly released games so soon. Motorfest is a pretty decent Horizon clone. No where near the replayability imo but a fun 20 or so hours. May sub for a month once Prince of Persia releases

Zero, gamepass gets me everything I need. I've bought dlc for a few games but as long as gp is going, highly unlikely to buy a full game

Any US peeps, If you have a Costco membership they are selling the Series S with a headset for ONLY $150 in store!!

$350 on Amazon US at the moment as well. Price is very tempting 🤔

EDIT: Extreme YMMV here but Gamestop will price match the Amazon price and they have a $25 off $250+ purchase deal going on now as well. An X for $325 is a hell of a score
