"It is ok, it will not affect the PS5"
How could it possibly? Xbox GamePass is a great value for the poor and disadvantaged gamers that need to stretch every penny. The rental service offers a ton of Indy, OG Xbox, Xbox 360 and Free to Play games that make up %50 to %70 of the games on offer and most of the rest are old last gen that most already own and most of games on offer in the Rental Service that released the last couple years could har...

"scaremongering" Well said!.... People being triggered by the dumbest things...
"Bu bu bu but I paid $500 for the PS5 and the battery died and in 15yrs I only got 75,000hrs of use out of it". Nothing last forever, nothing! The truth is things are made to fail that's the way the Free Market has evolved so you as the consumer will spend more money to purchase another of the thing that just failed. Thank the USA for that.
And when the clock does expire in 15 to 20yrs on the $400 to $500usd PS5 you'll be able to get a PS5 for $50usd with a clock that does work.

"Jesus H Christ" Sony has more than earned loyalty for over the last 25yrs in gaming and has been the best of gaming the last 7yrs. What more could one ask for? no one is going to like every decision that is made and while I'm not really a Jim Ryan fan but since he's been the head of PlayStation things have gone very well for Sony. Just yesterday they released a AAA multiplatform Sports game that will be one of the top 20 best selling games of t...
How if the PS5 and Xbox new consoles are all being sold out as soon as they arrow in stores is so many more PS5 being produced? Why is Microsoft not having more Xbox consoles produced?
I been waiting since this kill shot to these games was announced for Microsoft to chime in about keeping games alive bla, bla, bla but not a word. Microsoft could also step in and pay Ubisoft to put these on their rental service and keep them alive but it sure looks like unless it's Sony giving the kill shot its really not that important.
Old games die and gamers move on and for these titles though sad its that time. RIP!
@hiawa23
These games from Ubisoft are on all the platforms and no one cares about these old games that need to die. I was a big Rainbow Six Vegas 1&2 a Ghost Recon fan as well back in the day but that "day" passed a long, long time ago. Maybe if they remastered or rebooted these games then gamers would jump back in I know I would but doing so cost a lot of money it also cost a lot of money to keep games going that very few play. Now if your one of those few then sad da...
Funny how this anti PlayStation crap comes to surface just when Sony is releasing a AAA multiplatform game and Another AAA First Party game over the next 2 weeks and the PS5 will be in stock in a couples days again at least for a hour or 2. TBO if I was running Microsoft I'd put out a anti Sony\PlayStaion campaign just as they are doing and why? ..... What else they got to talk about?...... Nothing! Nothing at all.
Well, I'm no Jim Ryan fan but exactly how much $$$ does Microsoft pay to put out misleading information? That's all this crap is but the problem is people bye into this crap. Sony is fine and PlayStation is in a very good place. Sony has put out 2 AAA games in the last 5 months on release of the PS5 and they have another one releasing in a couple weeks that's a new IP and there then putting out a AAA multiplatform game in 2 weeks. All is good at PlayStation. What was the last Firs...

"Do you consider Netflix a rental service"? ....YES I do and it in fact by definition is a " Rental Service".
" If any of you are truly worried about Microsoft being successful with GP, you should".... I can't speak for others but I have no such worries at all. I also am a current subscriber to the Xbox Rental Service.

May be???? It will be if Microsoft pays EA enough. Even still that won't be enough for me to play it on a Xbox. Microsoft will have to work much, much harder. Keep trying phil "may be" wait till E3 2025 then I may jump fulltime to gaming on a service but even then i doubt it would be the Xbox rental service.
Great games!...... Lets not get ahead of ourselves. Great for the game that's being delayed would be selling around
5 to 7million on the PlayStation platform...... That's not gonna happen.
Gaming is a hobby and its costly but this price hike for a new game from $60usd to $70usd is nothing it's $10! But if a little price hike in a new game for the first time in 15 or so years that should've been expected is a bridge to far then there are cheaper gaming options for you through the rental services. Every platform seems to have now though there are issues such as you don't get to decide the games that are put on these rental services and you may never see the games yo...
Even if it was free which even on a rental service its not.... But even if it was, free does not make crap better in any way.
I think your the only other person than myself that found the comment "claims" odd. The better way to put it would have been "Sony says MLB" or "Sony clears up how MLB the Show found its way to the Xbox rental service". "claims" is such a flamIng fan boy way to put it when it's clearly as you say "obvious" that Sony had nothing to do with it. Microsoft paid MLB the publisher a boat load of $$$ to put it on their rental service but for me ...
So that sold 7 consoles!......7! But in Xbox land Xbox consoles are taking over the world! Lol
Wait, what!........ Microsoft has to have real people lie to other people that they influence so just maybe they will be talked into purchasing something they would never buy on their own? OMG!
"Single-Player Games Are Finally Making A Comeback, Sort Of"
The dude that produced this has " sort of" been living under a rock or is just stupid and you can decide which one.
@darth72
Wow! So you pay for GamePass to use games as a Beta or a demo to get a trail run and if you like it then you go buy it? Why in hell would you do this in the age of YouTube, Twitch and other sites that will give you a look at games and most games offer a Demo or a invite only Beta. Kinda a waste of money IMO.
@BenRC01
Ummm see Xbox GamePass for the "Indie Shovelware".
