Yes. Its 2 bucks more, 50 cents a week, not the end of the world. Spend ~15 minutes a day doing menial Microsoft rewards tasks and it'll cost you nothing out of pocket anyways. Things get more expensive over time, the cost of games in some regards has stayed flat for decades. Even at $17 its a heck of a deal

@Tothington91 the online achievements aren't that bad, especially with an influx of players b/c of gamepass it should be a breeze.

Thrilled to finally have the Syclone/Typhoon back in 5. Solid update!

Price is actually not too bad. Been kicking around the idea of switching to a projector setup in our game room, will keep this one in mind

Can't wait to sink a few hundred hours into this one! Looks spectacular

C. Lots of gameplay which is great but most games were passes for me. Way too much filler and talking but Ubi is gonna Ubi. The Crew is a definite buy and I'm sure I'll spring for Outlaws sometime in the future. Not a total bust but definitely behind SGF

Game is decent from what I played in the beta. Definitely a step above 1/2. Tough release date but I'm excited to get to it eventually

Good looking console, would've def gone for black instead on the white S we have now. Was really hoping for a digital X at $400ish but I guess theres a market for these as well

Star of the show, looking forward to hearing and seeing more on Tuesday!

B+, great showing. Best of the summer by a large margin.

C. It was a good show with decent variety but really only 2 things appeal to me and they were games I was already going to get day 1 anyway. Hopefully Sunday is a banger!

Got Diablo on Xbox and PS for some Coop action with both kiddos, we've been having a blast with it so far. No rush for SF6, will get it the championship/semi complete version on a couple years

Wish they'd just sell an adapter of some sort and let us pick our own SSD. 2TB models are selling for cheaper than this new 1tb card.

Good, hopefully it'll all be over soon!

Terrific selections for the cover, can't wait to see it in action!

@TakeItEasy definitely don't agree with that at all, but was definitely a poor showing.

Metal Gear for sure, they rest passable. Nothing too exciting from that group

About what I expected out of this one, will wait for it to be half off towards the end of the year

Definitely my most anticipated Xbox game for the year. Hopefully we get a ton of info at the showcase!

Yes, every week! Usually will get a few hours a week or less depending on if I have the cars on offer in the playlist. Still the best racer out there

Awesome news, much more reasonable. Still a bit pricey but moving in the right direction

Just finished watching it, I thought it was a good interview and he took some responsibility. Hopefully he can get things back on track for the rest of the year and beyond. While I'm not overly excited for Starfield, only mildly curious, I really really hope it delivers for everyone!

After 8ish hours I'm not sure there's anything that can drastically improve it, game is just not very good. Outside of a massive DLC expansion that overhauls virtually everything, there's no saving this one imo.

About 4 hours in and I agree with a lot of the criticism. Game just feels rushed and incomplete at times and downright broken occasionally. Loot is rather unexciting and as many have said it sorely needs 60 fps.

Played for about an hour. Was planning on holding off but had nothing better to play so I gave it a go. It's not terrible, feels very Far Cry-ish so far. Dunno how long it'll keep my attention but seems decent so far.

Will get around to it once performance patch is released, no rush

I know it'll never happen but I wish they'd make a complete minimalist option. All I want is a screen with a list of installed games. No pics, no ads just a straight MS DOS like roster of games and let me go on my merry way.

Very surprising, and holding off to tell bad news until 3 weeks before launch usually isn't the best strategy. Game seems undercooked though I hope to be wrong, well see

Constantly in the 90+% range with only 3 or 4 games at a time. Really wish the expansion cards were cheaper

Loving the DLC so far. The navigation callouts got pretty grating after a race or 2, thankfully they can be turned off. Outside of that its been a welcome return to the game!

Played for a couple hours, reminded of why I don't like "souls" games. Just not my cup of tea, looks gorgeous though for sure

I do as well. The Forza Horizon games are the main reason I even have an Xbox at all and while I love 5,really just feels like 4 in a new skin at times. Hoping for a drastic change for the next one in a couple years

Looks like just more of the same for the most part. I'll of course jump back in since its already been purchased but was hoping to be wowed a bit more I guess

Finally!! Seems to be off road focused which should be nice. Hopefully we get a healthy sized campaign

Yeah, think I will upgrade whenever this gem finally drops. Awesome news!

Hardly surprising but good news. Really enjoyed the last 2 and always down for a Ubisoft checklist open world. I feel a Ubisoft direct coming soon

Disappointing but I have no doubt it'll be worth the wait. Definitely my most anticipated of the year thus far

It's pretty good, better than I expected and quite unique. Dunno how much more I'll play but glad people are excited about it!

C for me. Forza stole the show, the minecraft game looks like it'll be a fun romp with the kids for a while, the other 3 didn't do anything for me personally but I thought it was decent overall!

Can't wait to humiliate my kids in this, going to be a blast lol!!

All I need is a deep dive of Forza and I'll be content, anything else is just icing on the cake, excited to watch!

Cool that they're doing official bundles but 6+ months of GPU at that price would be a much better sell imo

I'd go with a B, love our little S makes for a perfect secondary console. Gamepass is basically free and outside of a couple controllers I haven't spent a dime on it since getting it last December. Look forward to the next wave of exclusives!

0, if it's not on GP I'll get it elsewhere or wait.

No company has a better reward program than MS, easy simple way to earn 20-25 bucks a month with little effort! Will check this avenue out, thank you

I'd give to a 6 or 7. Campaign was fine, nothing special. MP was fun for a few hours but definitely not something I'd sink a ton of time into. Still, glad they're sticking with it and hope it improves over time

Not at all. Tried playing myself but found the dialog very grating. My kids have enjoyed it though. It's a decent enough shooter with some neat ideas but the humor just missed the mark with me

Gave it a shot but definitely not for me. Glad it's being well received though!

Very very fun so far! Story and cutscenes are obviously varying levels of cringy but the racing is on point. Look forward to playing more today.

Of the games I played on Xbox probably have to go with TMNT Shredders Revenge. Absolutely perfect nostalgia trip in every way. None of the exclusives (Plague Take, Scorn etc) really clicked with me this year. That being said I'd wager on Elden Ring winning it despite no interest in playing
