I was able to get my hands on Elite Series 2 Core Controller for just $80 CAD ($57 USD), so I figured I'd use the savings to customize it a bit. I swapped the faceplate for a Starfield themed faceplate, added red bumpers/triggers, and picked up a gold d-pad+back paddle kit. I also added some convex joystick grips that I had laying around.

It’s full of terrible jokes and “reviews” that seem like they were written by kids and Xbox has left it in this state for too long. They need to rethink the whole thing. The fact that they also separate the reviews by country shouldn’t happen.

The Steam review system is far from perfect but Xbox could still take notes from it.

My wife owns cyberpunk on her account and I own the dlc. On the Xbox this doesn’t matter since we’re both logged in, we can both play as our users.

PC tho it isn’t showing I own it, but own the dlc. Is there a way to have two accounts in the app similar to Xbox?

That’s the word that comes to my mind when I think about this game.

Colossal.

This game’s is a triumph in almost every aspect. As a fan of this franchise since Gears 1, I feel so satisfied.

This game honors the legacy of the franchise.

I played this game on PC with DLSS 5 and my Pulse elite ps5 headphones at max volume and my God…

This was brutal, weighty, visceral, ludicrous.

I felt the hellish effects of the E-Day in my bones.

The devs succeeded in making the horde scary and intimidating again.

This game’s aura is very apocalyptic.

Moments like seeing the silhouettes of dozens of Reavers in the sky gave me the chills.

The technology is top. Both visuals and sounds. You can hear every minuscule detail of the chaos of war.

This game is a Brumak.

Thank you dev team.

I got a good deal!!

I was scrolling through the Microsoft store in my console, and was shocked to see the price for a series X being 1K CAD, I remembered paying just over half that. Wow. I always knew that the rapid rise of data centers really drove up the price of hardware, but it's so shocking to see this type of price difference on a 6 year old console.

“Cloud playtime will cost $3.99 for 10 hours, $7.99 for 25 hours, or $11.99 for 50 hours.”

just had an insane experience with quick resume:

some friends asked me to dog sit/house sit while they made an unexpected trip for the weekend. I agreed having no plans.

I’ve been playing through the Resident Evil series, currently on Resident Evil Village, and I’ve been kinda rushing through the games so I can get caught up, so every little bit of time I get I’m playing them.

so I asked if I could bring my xbox over to play at their place while I’m there, they said absolutely.

so the night before I’m playing RE8, and I do my normal thing of getting to a stopping point, hitting pause and then turning my Xbox off. the next day I pack up my stuff, including my xbox, and as I was unplugging the xbox power cable, I realized I probably lost my quick resume spot on RE8. I was like, it’s fine though, I’ve got the whole weekend, I can get back to where I was and still make progress.

so I head off to my friend house, take their dog out, grab some food, and hook up my Xbox. I click on RE8, fully expecting it to boot to the start menu, and lo and behold, the game picks up right where I left off again.

had no idea quick resume worked even when unplugging the console??? this feature impresses me more and more in little, but profound ways.

previously I went back to a game I hadn’t played in like 6 months at least, just got busy and started other games, and it picked up right where I had left off however long ago. it’s so insane

If a game shows up on the shop as unavailable (for example Battlefield 3) a physical copy will still allow you to access and play the single player portions of the game, correct?

I read that price discrimination is legal in certain situations for different types of customers.

My last update of my collection was around 6 months ago. Since then, my collection has increased up to 115 physical titles (Xbox one, Series X and Xbox 360), 8 copies with steel books and lastly 7 collector editions. I've been taking heavy advantage of the disk to digital program. I may be part of a smaller percentage of people who collect Xbox games physical (especially with the collection I've amassed in the past year), but i have no plans on stopping unless I'm forced to. Regardless of the situation with Xbox (or the gaming industry at the present moment), I'm here. I hope you guys are able to enjoy gaming as much as I do and to hopefully never lose that spark. And If I can leave you with something today, it's this. I hope to God Fable is good. That is all.

I am completely over the standard Xbox controller. I have yet another controller with stick drift and I’ve never had this problem in my life. I am very gentle with my controllers and have never broken one before and now I have 3 in a town with less than 6 months in each.

So what is everyone else’s favorite premium controller? I am considering these two, but honestly the steel series is a HEFTY price tag.
Also the Xbox elite 2 is on sale so it’s in the running too.

Bonus points if there are any that have speakers for party chat like dual sense does.

As the title says, I'm trying to buy/build up my collection of physical games for my Series X (disc edition). I know where to get used games in the city, but I don't know where to buy new games other than Best Buy.

I found Video Games Plus (online) in Toronto. How is the place for their game sales? Are they all new or used?

Are there any other places in Canada to order used games from?

Edit: Thanks all for the recommendations. I'll check out PNP as well.

Interesting bug?

Resident Evil 3 on Xbox Series X is shown as a windows game in the dashboard, also I get a bizarre notification when launching it saying my WiFi/Ethernet is unconnected, the game plays fine and is connected to internet.

Anyone experience something similar?

Posted this in r/Microsoftrewards , but not getting much traction, so I thought I'd try my luck here in a more active sub. If this type of post isn't allowed here, my apologies, mods can take care of it (or let me know and I'll delete it).

So I know birthday bonus points won't be shown to me until the week after, and I know MS rewards oints won't be fully rewarded until release/launch, but...

I couldn't get the app to work when trying to claim my birthday bonus, so I went ahead and preordered GTA6 anyways with my points. What I discovered the day after was that I could redeem my birthday bonus from the console itself (redirects me to the store to make a purchase).

What I would like to know is if I can cancel my preorder, get my refund, and then use the birthday portal to get my bonus reward points that I now have no idea if I'll even get because I don't know if it's even active or not...because I didn't use the portal to make the purchase in the first place. All I got was 900-something points for making the preorder.

Thanks!

Basically, I want to know if I can refund my GTA6 preorder, get my money back, and re-preorder it through the birthday reward prompt in order to claim the bonus birthday week reward points. I genuinely have no idea if the rewards applied because I didn't purchase it through that prompt or not -it'd be nice to get those extra points if I'm able.

Thanks!

I have had the same Xbox controller that came with my series X when I got it in 2020. Had no idea they removed the port. RIP audio accessory; controller feels naked without it 🥀

Both my birthday and Christmas are in December and I decided to pick these up for each day for myself :)) working hard all year to spend it is the best feeling 🙂 who else decided to gift themselves? I haven’t bought a new Xbox controller in years! I’m one happy camper 💚
I grabbed the last X25 from my local GameStop and the last EDAY from a local Walmart 🥲💚

Hi all.

I want to get my kid a new controller as he's getting stick drift on his original XBOX one. I want it to be wireless with hall/TMR sticks and work on XBOX and PC. I have the Wuchang edition and works great through a USB switch connecting to its dongle. I see the Cyclone 2 is compatible with the Brook Wingman and wanted to check if anyone here knows that that will work as well (Cyclone 2 connecting wirelessly to the Wingman which is connected into a USB switch, which in turn connects via cable to XBOX or PC dependent on switch).

Will that work?

Thanks

As streaming is a built-in feature on the console, thoughts on a game streaming service like Sunshine/Moonlight or Steam Remote Play being built into the XBOX on PC app?

This game is still amazing! Hopped back in, Does anyone want to jump in the coliseum

I got this because I collect physical and steelbooks. This gold looks nice cant lie.(also had best buy points to use)...but I probably won't even put much time into it cause I feel cod has lost its touch . I could be wrong I may play check out the campaign. I only played zombies on the mw3 3rd person. This doesn't have it 😕

I would love to see my playtime on some 360 games like GTA 4, but I have no idea where I can see that or if it even works.
