Pretty sure we heard that about all the things that are now in the Google graveyard too.
Excited to see what E3 brings. Really hope for a Starfield 2021 release date. Under a month until E3 now!
Looks like a decent controller for XCloud on phone.
While this one is a bit disappointing compared to the past ones... you can't fault them for the past ones and say this was all one big ruse to get people hooked on MTX.
They have given away some pretty awesome games during this program such as HZD Complete and Ratchet when they certainly didn't have to do anything at all.
Huh? PS5 has two consoles too, and having two consoles doesn't suddenly mean you have 2x stock, or sell 2x.
Likely true, but gamers don't. We get screwed if there is no / low competition.
Congratulations to everyone* involved - hitting 20 years in this industry is a huge achievement and they have brought many innovations to the industry in that period.
I have very fond memories of the OG Xbox, OG Xbox Live & Halo CE.
* Except Don Mattrick, you sucked
Not sure I'd call 5bn dollar quarters 'irrelevant'. I'd love to be 'irrelevant' lol.
For anyone still looking for a PS5, BestBuy has PS5 bundles up with these controllers for both DE and standard. Presumably you won't actually get the console until the controller launches, but still a way to guarantee a unit.
Gah, then my search continues. We barely have any Sams club over here, but I don't think I can shop in Sams club anyway, doesn't that require a membership like Costco?
We seem to have the opposite problem over here, got a PS5 with ease and there's still occasionally a decent number of units in Target, but both the Xbox's are no where to be seen and I don't want to pay scalper prices.
Thanks for the info though! Appreciate it.
US? Which store & where? And do they ship to the west coast?
Hope the rumors of it being more BF2/3 and less BF V & being on Game Pass day 1 are true.
I had to laugh at GTA5 still being #1 in 2021. How can you not have access to a copy of this game by now...
If they gave their games away free... they would completely devalue Game Pass. Why would I sub if I can just go get Halo Infinite & Starfield for free?
The value in Game Pass is the quantity of games but also the fact that games are $60-70 a pop (especially first party games). If they were free (or even substantially cheaper), GP would have no value.
I wouldn't subscribe for something I can get for free.
Anyway, I'm done wit...
You can probably still return it under warranty - don't sit with a broken controller and go out and buy a new one!
I get it if you want a new color, but then you at least have a 2nd fully functioning white controller for backup / coop etc.
Also 49+ downvotes for having a broken controller? Geez.
The red one is kinda ugly, but I'm 100% in on the black. Day 1.
Just need to get some matching faceplates - the console should have been black!
“They wouldn't be throwing out their games day 1 on Steam for $60-70 if they didn't care about $60-70 game sales".
Except they would… because they want XBL MAU. Too easy.
@Razzer Again, clearly his ‘employers’ believe he is capable of reviewing a PS product for a PS website - but that’s the beauty of opinions too - he’s entitled to one as are you. Just because he gave a score which you don’t agree with, or made a positive comment about Xbox at one point on an Xbox article, doesn’t mean he’s biased or should be fired.
You can find plenty of interviews with Phil Spencer talking about user engagement (and presumably a higher MTX rate) and MAU ...
@Drew345 We’re about 6 months into the generation with barely any real next gen games out for both platforms.
We’re going to have to wait a bit to see how that performance gap shakes out for real.
It’s clear to anyone that 2TF would get you a good boost in visuals and/or performance, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if developers don’t utilize it - it’s extra work and work that only applies to one platform, so I’d expect a lot of devs just get to parity b...
Who is disappointed with that lineup? The first 3 of those alone would already be an awesome lineup.
The rest is just added icing on top.
