sadly only new subs, and i'd recommend after doing step 1 to add 2-3 years of gold or gamepass to your account BEFORE converting as that'll give you 3 years of gamepass ultimate. once you convert new codes for gold/gamepass (regular) convert at a lower ratio, but the first time you go from regular to ultimate you get 1:1 conversion.

Maybe I'm missing it but after Step 1 I see no option to "add 2-3 years" to the account. Is that just via finding the cards/codes off eBay or wherever and adding the time that way so that it totals up to the 2-3 years?

Yeah, you used to be able to get 2 year GWG codes for <$100 but those don't appear to exist anymore. Currently the best price is around $55 for 12 months. You definitely want to be looking at GWG (now called just Xbox Live Gold I guess) though, it's half the price of plain Game Pass.

Thanks, yeah. I could find the 12 month GWG on Amazon but wasn't sure if that was correct vs. the Xbox Gamepass for Xbox vs. Xbox Gamepass for PC. But if just the GWG generic 12 month card works that's the route I'll go. Pretty sure I started this process two years ago and never bothered.

Looks like Target will have 3-Month Game Pass Ultimate cards on sale for $25 this year. They are normally $45.

Check Best Buy's ad when it shows up too. Last year Target was $20 and BB was $23, but maybe it'll be reversed this time.

amazon also just tends to price match everyone, so far expect $40 1 year PS+ subs, $25 GPU 3 months, and $40 xbox and ps4 controllers. PS5 controllers seem to be msrp

you can now stream xcloud on the consoles themselves, useful when you just wanna check out a game and not install it, or you can start the install and immediately start playing while it downloads

Also allowing current gen games to run in some form on older hardware.

So is MS just recycling the same games in and out every 3 months? I have seen 4 of these already. I was laughing last month when Pedro made it's way back for the 4th fucking time.

it is weird they aren't scooping up big games like Guardians of the Galaxy or a few of the new weeb games. You knew at a certain point the value of the gamepass sub was gonna start dropping, I expected that to happen more in 2-3 years when first party Microsoft studio output is much stronger but yeah Nov and Dec have been relatively weak.

Although again Forza Horizon 5 + Halo Infinite is like $120 of gaming, so still pretty nuts

i did wanna check out Alien Fireteams so thats cool at least

I like game pass because it has good games, and other games like lawn mowing simulator that I'd never pay for but might be fun for a bit.

meStevo · Dec 1, 2021

Yeah. The tentpoles are nice, but stuff like Aliens Fireteam, ANVIL and the no-notice release today of Generation Zero are co-op games that I'm looking forward to digging into with friends. Rubber Bandits is one of those Gang Beasts games that will get some drunken play this weekend at a LAN too.

there are no next gen games? LIES, only the power of xbox series X and RTX can get you lawns this crisp

Been playing ANVIL for a few hrs. Really fun mindless fun but does have a few bugs. Really enjoyable with a friend.

Wonder if lawn mowing simulator comes with a wife telling you to mow the lawn when you enter the game …

I’m playing Fallout New Vegas on the metro and it rocks. I’m about to try Forza.
