Yeah, I'm loving pissed at Amazon. Getting a preorder in and now them throwing up their hands and saying they don't know when they'll ship it is some bullshit.

Get on support and tell them it was a bday present for your son or some poo poo and you are super loving pissed. I'm serious. The couple times I contacted them actually pissed off for legitimate reasons they offered credit. I received a $200 credit to my gift card balance because they were late getting me something for my wedding.

Man, the Forza Horizon 4 Series X update looks fantastic. Running at native 4K at a solid 60fps with the equivalent of maxed PC settings. Also everything loads super fast of course.

I can get used to this. :D

Edit: going to download and try the Sea of Thieves upgrade next.

Newegg hosed up, the Xbox Series X is avialable to purchase but only as a combo, but it doesnt say what the combo is. So you cant purchase it.

Got one in my cart from the Microsoft site and finished the checkout process but then Microsoft swooped in and saved me a bunch of money.





Thanks but no thanks.

Walmart won't be up until noon EST. Nothing happened on Target, but the Microsoft Store has my order as "pending".

Gonna feel like an idiot if this comes 6 months from now, but I was mashing through the checkout process blindly.

Gonna feel like a double idiot if I believe the picture above, cancel tomorrow after snagging one from Walmart and then end up with two by accident. :cool:

On the upside I've left the X from Microsoft in my cart and went back to check on it and the delivery estimate is still the 23rd of December so maybe they're just being extremely generous with it? Still gonna wait it out but if you bought from them hopefully you'll get it sooner.

Thanks Goons! Ordered it from Microsoft. After a bunch of page errors it suddenly connected just fine. Says 12/23 delivery but I’m hoping that maybe it comes early. And if not, that’s fine too.

You do get Ultimate Game Pass with it, but I would rather just sign up for that separately. Without reading the fine print, I suspect its full of really bad stuff that screws you over and you end up paying way more in the long term.

I think it's actually cheaper in the long run (assuming you don't miss a payment or something) but it still just feels weird to have a ping on my credit score because of an Xbox.

I am an employee of the Microsoft Gaming Division and they pay me to defend the Xbox One on the Something Awful Forums
You can earn ~3 months of GamePass a year just on MS reward points, that would tack onto the emd of your all access sub but yeah all access doesn't really save you that much.

You also have the option to unsub from GP if theres nothing that interests you anymore or if you're like me move to the switch to play games for a while. Can't really do that with all access

Yakuza 7 loads so fast I cant read the tooltips that pop up.

I assume on PS5 the game loads before the call to the tooltip screen completes

I can't go back to my PS4 and One X anymore after seeing how fast SSD is on these new consoles. Valhalla is a game I am playing on PC, and it takes full advantage of SSDs now and loads so much faster than Odyssey did and I am playing it on the same SSD.

The way I recall it working is the credit contract is just through you and whoever the finance company Microsoft is using + Microsoft. Gamestop just supplies you with the console and presumably gets an initial cut/finder's fee and then they are out of the loop. So once Gamestop goes belly up it doesn't really affect anything.

Still not a great deal if you don't plan to keep game pass for those two years. Does anyone remember if it is automatically added to your account or do you get a card/code? What happens if you already have 3 years of game pass and do all access (since you can't stack above 3 years IIRC)?

Also, I guess in theory taking the initial ping for the pull could ultimately result in improving your credit score assuming you make all your payments. But just lol if that is a factor/incentive/actual reason for someone.
