Xbox Series |OT|

the only question, imo, is how long until switch 2 has a price hike.

Smartest thing I ever did was buying a ps5 and series x at launch 

I was able to get a Series S back in 2022 for $290 - traded it in at Gamestop for about $230 few months ago to get some money for my Switch 2 purchase.

Bought a Series X a year after Series S due to Amazon doing a holiday sale cut for $350 - so it was $150 off.


I'm glad I was able to get it because I wanted to play some of the legacy titles but my Xbox library has increased a lot since then.

gamepass drops in price: Game Pass Ultimate drops from $29.99 to $22.99 a month

it also removes call of duty titles at lauch.

so the price drops by $84 a year.   call of duty at launch should be $70.   seems surprisingly fair to me if these are the only changes.

I mean it's obvious how the math works out for CoD. But it still feels funny that a service with *googles* 400+ games, drops 25% in price by removing one of them.


CoD is a load bearing game.

Awesome!

Sucks for the people that bought it at $30 a month. Like imagine you just yesterday bought a bunch of game pass and topped up for the next three years lol.
