Xbox All Access Officially Announced

I can assure you that the vast majority of Xbox customers are definitely getting their live subs from a retail store or they just set it to auto-renew the sub from their saved CC on the MS Account every year.
The frugal deal-seeking, wario64-refreshing hardcore gamer community is a vocal minority, a very very vocal minority. You are not the market.
It's one of those silly xbox-isms. I got a play and charge kit with my bundle and it solved the issue.
Get you some eneloops. In 2018 They are simply better than any internal lithium-ion battery in every way.
Internal batteries are terrible conceptually, and closely tied to planned obsolescence. The true reason you'd make a battery for a device internal and non-removable is if you want the device to fail long term.
dunno about nintendo's but you can remove the DS4's battery
Internal batteries suck, they die over time, aren't replaceable and in the case of the PS4 last fewer than 10 hours. I think the Xbox should come with that play and charge kit they sell separately however.
For sure.
At some point, streaming games will be the norm. We're just not there yet due to the massive games, need for good input lag, and the fact physical copies can be sold for trade in cash.
Hardly anyone buys physical movies anymore. But video game barriers like above don't apply.
The fact so many gamers buy digital copies shows physical discs and trade in value are less and less important every year that passes. All comes down to input lag.
I'd do the Xbox X one tmrw if this wasn't in-store only. No way I'm driving 2 hours one way to get to the nearest Microsoft Store.
I wonder how they'd roll this out next gen. It seems like having this option at launch would stress the supply chain forever.
I mean presumably there's be a signing up period before launch where you'd apply for the console and have everything done then either it ship to you or you pick it up. And if anything MS can just do a tiered approach and focus the bulk of the consoles in the US.
So whats the consensus on this? Don't feel like going through 21 pages. Skimming, I see that 2 ppl did it with relative ease
It will be interesting to see how they go with latency and the leaps Xbox are starting to claim. 5G is also reducing latency massively, even by wired standards. I saw a preview launch of 5G tech recently and it was only 5-7ms consistently from a real hotel conference. WTF. Crazy. I wonder how it goes in bad weather or hilly areas etc. Either way I'm quite curious what these options are going to entail and how they're implemented in the real gaming usage cases at home.
It's no different than applying for a special introductory rate credit card and buying a system + the subscriptions. In fact, you'd be better off doing that if you wait for the deals that constantly happen where you can pick up an X for $399 and not pay full price for XBL & GP
This appears to be live ONLINE for a limited time..

I guess it was in-store only before?

And Canada...I already have a 1X but hopefully they do the same for the next gen Xbox.
I'm going to jump on this tomorrow when the Series X gets added for pre-order. Seems like a great program.
