Everything in Game Pass seems to be available for a loving song elsewhere, so I feel like just putting that 10bux aside every month for cheap games makes more sense.

I've decided it's time to get a console of this generation. Is there any reason to get the xbone s or x instead of the original if I'm not really picky about super hd gaming experiences? I want the cheapest console I can get without locking myself out of any important functionality.

Also I'll be the one to say it, the gently caress are you doing having issues with using a Bonetroller wired? I just hooked up a random $2 microUSB cable I found in the pile behind my chair, plugged it into my Bonetroller, and picked it up that way via the cord.

They (r/xboxone) are going off it appearing on some xboxdvr list, but another user showed how easy it is to get pretty much anything on the 360 to show up on it, so I'm not holding my breath. MW2 online is a hackery clusterfuck anyway.

Ryse: Son of Rome is a loving awesome game. I was looking for something to play, didn't want to get invested into anything too lengthy and time-consuming, had bought this for like 10 bucks on a sale a couple months ago but never played it... and it was exactly what I was looking for! Short, together, fun, incredible to look at, fast, good combat, cool locations, nice story...

Ubisoft doesn't want to risk highlighting the fact that all their AAA franchises are the same game.

The ZuneHD had an HD radio tuner and could sync Windows Media Center recordings. Mine always had the previous night's The Daily Show and Colbert Report on it. Zunes also generally had really good DACs and a music service that was basically a download-and-sync based Spotify precursor. The Windows Zune client was also a pretty drat good (and slick) MP3 library/player. There are people who make good poo poo who work at Microsoft. It's a shame their talents are so frequently wasted.

Titanfall 2 is definitely an outlier there. Decent deals on digital games pretty much entirely depend on sales, and a lot of times those sale prices are still higher than retail.
