Has the Xbox & Bethesda Showcase made you sign up for Xbox Game Pass?

I guess xCloud does target you but it will only be through a browser and not local.
If anything, I believe you get an additional discount on gamepass games when you have gamepass lol.
If anything, Game Pass frees up money to buy other stuff. October is going to be a nightmare with all the games coming out around then, so even just getting Back4Blood included in Game Pass helps a lot. That way I can play it with my friends and grab it a few months later when there isn't quite as many games to buy.
I have a series X on hold this week and I dunno if I'm gonna pick it up tbh. I have the 3 months of ultimate offer too.
This is very unlike me btw, any other time I would just go and pick up a new console within the first year whenever it was convenient to do so. I just don't think I need it until more exclusives are released. Obviously this is just my experience but I'm a little bit disappointed tbh.

I mean, the question was a pretty targeted one about the showcase itself. You're also going to disproportionately get answers from people who actually have an option to use Game Pass with - PC or Xbox.
For someone who only games on a PlayStation or Nintendo, there's more than just getting Game Pass involved in that proposition.
I'm planning on not touching the "3 months of Ultimate for £1" deals until Starfield comes out, and then if it's well-received I'll pay my pound and play it on my Xbox One All-Digital via xCloud.
Strange, I didn't know GP hijacks your wallet and free will. You know there is a discount when buying games with it right?
I get the preference because I'm the opposite so it works well for me. I usually don't revisit games once I'm done and I don't have a physical collection at all.
Subscribing + Buying still costs more than just buying in the end. That is facts especially if you wait and buy the title on a sale.
I'll not subscribe cause a chunk of games I want and will play primarily are not on the service. Why subscribe if your not going to use it and buy titles outside the service that take most of your gaming time.
Like if Starfield is released and a user just plays warzone 90% of the time and plays Starfield occasionally. It'll be cheaper for them to buy with no subscription so they can play over the course of the next year or two. Why run a subscription for this. Not sure why this site doesn't seem to get it's not a value for everyone.
I only ever actively play 1-3 games at a time, if none of them are on gamepass then I'm not on it. Will probably sub for a month when Psychonauts 2 comes out.
Same with EA Play pro, if there's ever an EA game I want to play I'll sub for a month or so.

subscribed in December 2019 on the original standard full price pay per month option, and have continued this every single month since... with my hand on my heart, i have never been happier
I'm aware of the Xbox live gold conversion deal(which I plan to hopefully do today) but where and how did you get GPU for 1 dollar?
Or do you mean it was the price of gold for 3 years($180?) plus 1 dollar to convert to GPU?
He meant price of gold for 3 years + $1 to convert. That's what I did in April and it was the best decision ever.
Sorry, yes, I meant this deal. And now thanks to Rewards, I just keep adding a month to it for free. Actual free lol.
How do you rack up so many rewards points so fast? I'm trying to make it work so I can keep adding a month of gpu to keep extending the end date.
Ok yeah makes sense. On that note what are the best deals on gold right now? Only see it for 60 everywhere currently. Unless I buy cheaper codes for Brazil from eBay or something and activate while on a vpn, but seems a bit fishy, would I still be able to convert to GPU if I'm on VPN for another region? Maybe not worth the hassle. Or I just wait for some promo.
Also I'm only on PC and now seeing a bunch of posts that the PC client is busted?
Depending on how they will handle DLC, it might get even more expensive than just buying a GOTY edition. Yeah, Gamepass doesn't work out for everybody.
Subscribed since Day 1. Went from buying 6-10 full priced games to buying maybe 1 or 2 and just playing all the amazing stuff showing up on GamePass. I've played so many hidden gems, with absolutely no pressure to like or dislike games, its like having access to Demos from all the games in it, but you can finish them all. It's amazing! Worth every penny full price and I've never payed more than half the price. If you have an Xbox I wholeheartedly recommend GamePass.
I have an automated browser extension for the daily searches, then I just try to do the daily/ weekly/monthly goals that are available to people with Game Pass. I think I average about 15k-20k a month, which is enough to cover it.
That's a good one! Do you have the name of that browser extensions ? Cheers in advance!
Nice, which extension do you use? Is there one for safari or do I need to use edge/chrome?
It's a chrome extension that works in Edge called ABS. I use Edge because of the bonus points for searching via Edge. I'd love to just use Safari though. The extension also simulates mobile searches for you.
Subbed since Gears 5 launched, will probably never unsub as long as things stay like this. I've hardly bought any full price games since this started. Took that money saved and put it into my other hobbies, it's pretty nice. It also encouraged me to dump most of my physical library which mostly just collected dust. Sold what was worth it, donated the rest. I know it's not for everyone but it's really transformed how I approach games.
Nope. At least as of today, I'm opposed to any gaming subscription. I can't deny that they've built an incredibly impressive offering though, and if I didn't already have a huge backlog of stuff I'm dying to play, I could be swayed. I just can't help but feel that years down the line, the service will become less attractive and/or more expensive, and users will be locked into the subscription in order to maintain access to their library, like with PS+. That's a trap I'd be susceptible to, so I'm doing my best to pretend neither service exists.
