Do you only subscribe to Netflix? Expand your options.
No.


I don't subscribe to Netflix or any other app for that matter. I'm getting game pass through a friend but if that ever stops it'll be the only thing I will actually pay for.

I do wonder why Microsoft doesn't do a reduced rate to lock people into Gamepass Ultimate for a year :jbhmm:

They do you just have to convert core to Ultimate. You can get 2 years of Ultimate for close to $170 vs $480 for rack rate. Just buy 3 years of Core on sale at about $50 per year and pay for 1 month of Ultimate with those codes on the account.

I've done that in the past, just figured they would have something standard for the year like Sony does with Essential, Extra, and Premium tiers w/out any kind of conversion or codes needed.

Gamepass is the most expansive option in the games service space but feel free to continue :russell:

They had yearly rates, but they are in the middle of a transition. The plan was to get rid of Xbox Live multiplayer fees
And you only had to pay for Gamepass. They also have plans they wanted to roll out like the Family plan but there was pushback from developers saying it was too cheap ($25 for 5 Gamepass subscriptions) and its been a total silence while they try to figure out the best way to leverage Gamepass moving forward.

They could fukk this up if they get too greedy, its not the Activision acquisition like others keep saying. Its other developers not wanting to get shafted on the Gamepass backend. I expect the family plan to eventually roll out at $25-$30 but with only 3-4 passes.Maybe do a bundle for $50 a month and you get Disney/Amazon/HBO/Gamepass/etc. We will see, its just the natural order of thangs.

I'm not here to debate who has the biggest library, the point is it doesn't have everything. You like games right?

Now you just making shyt up. And for the record, it doesn't have the biggest library nor does it need to :ufdup:
Its weird to watch people act like it doesn't have anything you'd want to play, like, :stopitslime:

Then you the most pickiest nikka on planet earth. But what you won't do (because you can't) is name the better alternative
I think that's checkmate :manny:
