lol I've had my bone for almost exactly one year ago as a backup for when my wife wanted to play PS4 and to check out Forza again, got over gamepass in the time it took for a month trial to end and cancelled live last month because I don't play Madden anymore and everything has a bigger playerbase on playstation. If I was stuck paying 20 dollars a month for this thing and not even a single exclusive game to look forward to for another year I would be livid.

I figured there were plenty of folks like you out there, that is who I was thinking the new thing worked out great for.

If I never managed to find a good deal on these things I'd maybe consider it. But it is super easy for me to just have alerts set on something like camelcamelcamel, and once in awhile the price drops, I buy it and enter the code and I'm good for another year. I mean, when talking xbox live specifically, if you paid 10 dollars a month for that rather then the not on sale 60 dollars a year for buying 12 months at a time, you are throwing a new game worth of money away every year.

I do the $60 a year renewal. I've been paying for Xbox live literally since it came out back on the mechassault and Halo 2 days. I only have internet service (which my job pays) and have Hulu and Netflix so paying for gamepass doesn't bother me.
Maybe I'm just so conditioned for paying subscriptions lol?

Nobody gives a gently caress what you think dude. Theres some people in here that want to talk about xbox and set up some games and get gamer tags in here. Nobody gives a gently caress about your opinion on anything or how you haven't played xbox in a year or whatever.

We don't have cable but just have 1gig comcast with no cap and Hulu, Prime, and Netflix. I have a subscription to Gamepass and live and just let it auto pay. It works fine.

What's coming up for this thing? I got an X in a work thing awhile ago but I haven't turned it on since AC:O came out. Getting a bit bummed out with the offerings and thinking of selling it.

I'll buy it from you. Going rate according to some of the guys in this thread seems to be somewhere between $100 and $300 so I think you'll find my offer very fair.

Yeah, I think it is just the availability of easy discounts that makes me do it that way. Its not like I get discounts on Netflix, Prime or HBO.

But I think as more and more subscription services exist that I might be interested in, it certainly makes me question their worth a lot more. Like HBO is very much not worth the extra money I pay for it vs Netflix. It is always on the cusp of being cancelled. If I just had Prime for TV content, they still aren't there yet either, but that one stays a no brainer just because of how much we order from there/etc.

The xbox has the FX app exclusively and I used that to watch Legion and Atlanta so that was nice. That's a good xbone feature and two good tv shows.

Forza Horizon 4 is the big fall first party release, if you like racing games. Ubisoft is putting out another AC, this time in ancient Greece, before taking another year off if you want more of that. RDR2, too, if you have any faith left in Rockstar.

I'm in Canada and would probably sell it locally if I decide to do so. Shipping just eats too much money.

If it comes with a subscription to xbox live gold as well as xbox gamepass I might consider it.

I think I preordered RDR2 for the PS4 awhile ago but have to check on that. I guess I will hang on a bit longer. Getting antsy though, this drought of first party stuff is frustrating.

I'm sure FH4 will be awesome but I'm just totally burned out on racers in general and sold off my racing wheel and other nonsense.

The X1X has filled a nice gap between PC and Ps4. It is impressive gaming at 4k with stable framerates.

As a full time member of the proletarian I only get a few hours to game and am happy with the game choices on the system.

Just jumped back into MW2 and while it is great to get jam all over my grill again it sure is intimidaitng joining a lobby full of level 70 prestigious mofos. Still good memories, good times.

If you have an X and a 4k panel you should absolutely get RDR2 for the X instead.

I used to use PS4 and Xbox for (mostly) exclusive games and get multiplats on PC, but recently I've decided to just get most multiplats on Xbox and save Steam for PC exclusives because Steam sucks and new PC parts are way too pricey and at this point in my life I'd rather spend $600 on a dozen or so good new games than on a new graphics card.

Pretty much this. Looking at the new Nvidia GTX 2000 series, the cards start at around $750.

Fair warning, you get charged far out the rear end for Canada-US electronics, at least from the US to Canada you do, so budget accordingly if you do this.

As far as likely graphical powerhouses you're mainly looking at RDR2 (will have some form of multiplayer), Hitman 2 (SP only I think?), rear end Creed Odyssey (SP only I think), Forza Horizon 4 (SP and MP), the new Metro (SP only I think), Anthem (MP), eventually Cyberpunk 2077 (SP only). I guess there's also Battlefield V, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Black Ops 4, Rage 2, and Fallout 76 in the pipeline, if those are your thing.

Lesser offerings from there would be spworts titles of various non-baseball shades and SoulCalibur 6, but given how the fighting game community is shaping up there's a high chance this won't have meaningful X enhancements since Tekken 7 had none.
