The dollars to pounds conversion is a bit naff considering this hasn't happened for other stuff. One of the Microsoft bods did say that would be the price this holiday so hopefully it comes down as the SSDs being used get cheaper.

It doesn't look great I have to be honest and there appears to be a fair amount of asset re-use from The Talos Principle.

That headline is factually incorrect, sales didn't rocket by 747% the console's sales rank rose by 747% on the Xbox part of Amazon. In reality it amounts to a fraction of sales.

Sell your digital games in a plastic box that will go straight in the bin. So smart! Seems to be America only right now and I don’t know if ...

Some Xbox accessory prices have gone live now the consoles are available for pre-order. Controllers are £55 and the 1TB storage expansion is £159 which is a pretty good price and lines up with M.2 drives.

I've played enough, Dj, to confirm those animation issues you asked about are still present. I've had instances where some of my bullets have missed the target due to an enemy still moving in slo-mo while I'm firing, and also their flinch after being hit. It's a bit annoying I guess, but it is what...

Do the Halo games have microtransactions?

I've literally never played any of them, tbh.

I've played them all and I don't know either

They don't.

Another thing to note, this acquisition makes a Fallout game from Obsidian much more of a reality.

I think this is superb news....for Xbox gamers.

It's good news for PC players as well, basically anyone who doesn't only buy a PlayStation product.

Yeah everything will be coming to Game Pass. Death Loop and that other game they announced will probably be the last Zenimax games on the PS5.

Microsoft are buying Zenimax/Bethseda for $7.5bn. This is a massive deal and single handedly pretty much sorts out any talk about exclusives for the Xbox.

picked up WD2 even though I have it already on Uplay.

Skipped FM 2020 as I know nothing about football except the rules.

You know WD2 on Epic just runs through Uplay right?

Blind brand loyalty is the only thing Microsoft have to sell their new machine. It's not hugely different with Sony, though I think they've made a better case. Either way I largely agree with those opinions. I disagree with that sentiment, the lower priced Xbox coupled with Game Pass is a good sell...

Without the pandemic the launches would be looking better so I don't think it was too early to launch when Sony and Microsoft originally set the dates but once the pandemic hit and software was being delayed I think it possibly made sense to push them back. I'm guessing that on a corporate level the...
