You actually have to go in and download the Games with Gold for them to be on your account, they don't just get automatically added if you have gold.

I unironically love my ZuneHD and wish things had turned out differently.

I had a Zune 80 and it owned bones until the hard disk in it poo poo the bed after like 8 years. The pack-in earbuds with the little magnet that made the stick together was slick as well. I had a friend that bought a Zune 8 though and he went through 3 of them before he had one that worked properly.

How bad is internet data capping in the states that you have to worry about downloads? I mean the best I can get in my small Canadian town is 50/5, but I've never gotten a call about downloading 1 too many video games.

Spencer says Microsoft will be focusing on Xbone exclusives going forward by creating or buying studios. I'm sure this will be cool when it comes to fruition in 7-10 years

I can't wait for Microsoft to buy like 20 game studios and close them all before they release anything

Is that really where the story is going? I haven't played AC since Black Flag, but dragging out a modern-day disaster to keep giving people reasons to climb into magic memory machines is the dumbest poo poo.

You used to be able to just make live accounts with different addresses and just have them all on the same account and switch whenever. I used that on my 360 to get Japanese and American exclusive content all the time.

The original trilogy of Halo had a decent story, the issue was is you to completely immerse your self in every hidden terminal message, novel and blog post Bungie put out to understand it.

But that would require deals with indie devs.

They could have easily done like a broad "every time someone plays your game for the first time in a day you get 3 cents" or something similar to a Spotify-like agreement

Crossbar or whatever Sony calls their UI should have been dumped years ago.

I’ve really been enjoying the Spotify app on the Xbox, controlling it with my phone is cool and I don’t feel as pressured to upgrade my home theatre amp to one with Spotify anymore.

I wish they would do the thing that they are always on the brink of and just make the Xbox a full HTPC/Game System and give it a sort of stripped down version of Windows. Also get rid of physical media already.

Allowing people to take their purchased digital collections into the next gen would be a pretty cool thing in my opinion.

Also just add a built in microphone either in the console or in the controllers and let me use the Kinect voice commands again. That was the only good part of the Kinect.

Microsoft announced officially the Xbox All Access:

https://venturebeat.com/2018/08/27/xbox-all-access-is-real-and-a-great-deal/

You can go to a Microsoft store, get a One X or One S for 35/25 a month for two years, which gives you Xbox Live, and the Game Pass. After paying for 2 years, you own the console.

I feel stupid for even buying one of the original Xbones because this deal seems a helluva lot better than paying all poo poo up front.

If you are getting Gold and Game Pass anyways this is actually a good deal? What's the catch?

Like bad bad. I'm not huge into MMOs anymore either, but just in general it looks like Bethesda just developed some survival game and decided it wasn't good enough and slapped Fallout on it to sell copies.

IIRC they can be used but only if your Game Pass/Gold are actually expired, they won't work while they're active.

Also I think Gold codes of less than a month tend to be a more limited version of Gold, like it gives you the ability to play online but not the ability to buy stuff discounted, stuff like that.

If it still works the same, the one month free Gold codes stack. When I worked back at EB Games years ago they came in GTA4 and most people didn't use it so when they traded in the game I swiped the code thing. I ended up with like 4 free years go Gold.
