UniFox21 7,486 Posted 20 December 2020 Report Share Posted 20 December 2020 In a sense, with so few games released for both next gen consoles, I don't fully see the point upgrading yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jaspa 2,204 Posted 20 December 2020 Report Share Posted 20 December 2020 Same. Situation I have is though a One X with 3 years of gamepass with a pretty average TV, and an aged PC rocking a 4670k 750ti combo Time to sell the One X on to suppliment buying a Series X probably past it's peak but can't really justify sinking £500+ into another console. Plus all I really play is CoD & Forza anyway, although obviously Cyberpunk looks worth a go next gen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There really isn't THAT much difference between the graphics on the games he is playing. Although admittedly, this extends to FIFA, Fortnite, Forza Horizons 4 and Rocket League. We have a 65inch Samsung TV in the lounge for the x. Capable of 4k @ 60hz with VRR and HDR10 support. They are both pretty comparable. I think to the untrained eye (which is what I would class myself as) you wouldn't feel like you were suffering with the S. it's a great machine for £250. throw in gamepass, especially with the rumours of Ubisoft coming to the platform and the inclusion of EA Play and it's a phenomenal machine for just playing endless amount of games.

snoopy87 61 Posted 5 January Report Share Posted 5 January The rumour surrounding Ubisoft+ looks like it could happen later this year. Wouldn't ever need to buy a new game again should it happen. Providing microsoft keep the monthly subscription the same, its a no brainer to subscribe! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 4,034 Posted 6 January Report Share Posted 6 January Good money waiting for any who has one for sale preferably un opened. Or if anyone has any itk info where will have stock soon... 😁 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 4,034 Posted 7 January Report Share Posted 7 January Managed to get one from GAME plus additional controller, docking station and xbox game pass for 3 months. Oh and a t-shirt and cap which I had no choice but to buy because of the bundle it was in. Promising for anyone else looking for one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is it £1, or is it you buy 3 years worth of Gold subscription (at about £40 p/yr) and then pay the £1 upgrade fee? Still a bargain, but if there's a way to get Games Pass for £1 I definitely want in!

AKCJ 15,300 Posted 7 January Report Share Posted 7 January I'm looking to get one of these. Thought both the PS5 and the Xbox would be easy to get by now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's mainly for new customers however if you're a customer now you can cancel your XBL and let it run out. Buy a code off CD Keys or the like then upgrade to game pass for what ever period. I know someone who's put bought XBL 3 Years for £111 then upgraded to Game Pass for £10.99 for the 3 years on top. Think I'll do similar. I was always buying an extra controller and docking station so we've basically paid £26 for a cap and tshirt😂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And then it turns out they're making Gold free so I end up paying MORE in the long run Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Adding you don't have gold on auto renewal (which you need to turn off) then it is meant to work. I was updating from an Xbox 360. So I'd never used GP before. So bought 3 years of gold and then converted to GPU for £1. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cool, last time I had GPU was a few months back when they were doing the £1 month trials, when that expired I just bought 12 months Gold so will buy another 24 months and see how it goes. I'm definitely going for the XSX over a PS5 so I'll be using the Gold even if the £1 upgrade doesn't work for any reason Quote Link to post Share on other sites
