Thank you. I’m gonna go in today and just go to the video game counter and see if they can do it there and I will carry the drat thing out with no bag. It’s not like it’s as big as an Xbox (first generation). Or a Playstation (5th generation).

I tried to buy a Series X from Target using All Access. My city charges for plastic bags, and Target pre charges for the expected bags used online. You can’t buy the bags with All Access and if you try to change the billing method it empties your cart. I was unable to buy an Xbox.

Just buy it directly from the MS Store? That's what I did with mine (because I had a bunch of store credit), and it showed up in like two days.

Yes, do that. The Target website sounds like literal hell, so don't use that.
The Microsoft website sells new and refurbished Xboxen, it's where I got my XSX too.

I'm excited about Valheim. I hope it clicks with me unlike Medieval Dynasty which I was sorta excited about and didn't click for me.

I'm not really sure about giving Atomic Heart devs money so dropping on game pass next week is just perfect.

I tried it when it was on game pass (pc) earlier and it's neat but I found the crafting tree really slow to progress on. I had no idea where to find some things needed too. I just kind of left it.

Seems like it'd be fun with friend(s) though.

Insanely hyped for Wo Long. I believe there's going to be another limited-time demo for it coming out next week.

What part of it is missing? The PC gamepass redeems and rewards are there for me.

For some reason I can't redeem 3 months of GP Utimate anymore though, just 1 month at a time which is an odd change.

I'm in Australia too.

PC Gamepass gives me the option of 3 months only, Gamepass Ultimate gives 1 month only, and Gold gives me both 1 and 3 month options. Then there's the various gift cards and donation options.

Strange... With all the talk of raising gamepass prices I do worry about the MS Rewards option.

I found my way to the PC game pass redeem page by guessing the url, only 3 months option available. Might be out of codes at the moment

Target’s app worked correctly so I got my Xbox today. I am now downloading as many game pass games as will fit on the drive. I’ll say that compared to PS Plus the AAA games aren’t as stand-out but gently caress there are SO many good games here. I get to play all of the Double Fine back catalog that I missed, and a bunch of stuff like Pentiment and Ni No Kuni that aren’t the first thing I want to drop money on but will play first thing now. I have no regrets. I have negative regrets. And Psychonauts 2 at 120 hz!

Oh you're right it's also missing on the website for me too. I only looked for it on the Bing app on my phone and it's still on there.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

spaceblancmange posted:

Yeah I've had that once or twice in the past, the store runs out of codes and so the option just doesn't show up. It'll be back in a few days

Congratulations! Remember to prioritize third-party games like Ni No Kuni, since first-party games stay indefinitely. Did you do the conversion deal?

I always wear my wedding ring. It's my trademark.

Tried out Shadow Warrior 3 after reading the comments in this thread. It's the exact same kind of gameplay as modern Doom, so I don't like it at all. But it does run nice and smooth for me when putting it on performance mode.

Also, I had about 120 euros on my account because of gift cards and reward points, so I just bought 40 euros worth of Cities Skylines DLC. Also bought Dragon's Dogma for €3.74, never played it but I've heard good things. Now I'm eyeing Pizza Tycoon, but I haven't heard anything at all about that one.

OP, did you buy three years of Live Gold and upgrade all 3 years to Game Pass Ultimate for a dollar saving you $360 over three years? It's the best deal in gaming.
