https://twitter.com/Wario64/status/1...921968128?s=19 I could get Starfield for 75 bucks for the Deluxe but I think I'll wait a bit and get it even cheaper. You have a month to redeem the code in the store and then it never expires. |

I'm not subscribed. I use Gamepass to subscribe when there's a bunch of games I want to try and subscribe for like 2-3 months out of the year, but for a game with hundreds of hours of replay value, it's a horrible deal.

I don’t really subscribe to Gamepass. It’s too expensive. Although it makes sense to pay for it and get a bunch of games to play, I’d rather wait and buy the expensive Starfield edition. Besides, I need to save money for Disney Racing and buy another copy of it so I can play on my ASUS ROG T-1000. |

I think she means that if all you plan to play on GP for months is one game its not worth it.
At the very least it makes sense to Gamepass it and then pick it up around Black Friday or the first sale if you love it. But I digress. |
Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
Come on Deb, at least listen to this person. She makes a good point.

Pretty much!
At $195 for three years, all you gotta do is not buy a game a year to make it worth your while. |

That's not available anymore. I got burned twice at key shops and won't do those anymore. The offers are drying up within last couple of months. They stopped that completely. Now it's 120 bucks a year. Wait until Starfield is 50 bucks or so and just pay that. Starfield in particular is the slow burn play over years kinda game. It really all depends which game you're talking about.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
If you use Microsoft Rewards for your Game Pass Ultimate subscription, redeeming 1 month of GPU actually gives you 3 months. Makes me wish I hadn't done a manual redemption at the beginning of the month -- that would've had me good nearly through March -- but I had enough points to take me to next year, at least.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
If you're a Prime subscriber and use the Woot app (rather than woot.com), apparently the video game stuff they have on sale is another 10% off at checkout. (And you have to go to checkout to see the final price.)
A few examples: Watch Dogs Legion - $7.19 Cobra Kai 2 - $8.99 Saints Row - $13.49 Deathloop - $13.49 Pocky & Rocky Reshrined - $13.49 Digimon Survive - $15.29 Crash Bandicoot 4 - $17.99 Bayonetta Origins - $26.99 Kirby's Return to Dreamland Deluxe - $38.69 Xbox Series X (Diablo IV bundle) - $509.99 |

i just redeemed my latest code, which was acquired from Microsoft Rewards, and it only gave me one month, not three. I have the auto-redeem for 10,500 points thing turned on… not sure if that affects it. Edit: looks like the glitch was fixed hours ago. Oh well, maybe next time. |

If you let your game pass expire, subscribe to gold, then do the conversion, it used to be that you could get 1:1. So you could subscribe up to three years of gold, then convert that to gamepass for a minimal price (like five bucks or something). They changed that a couple of weeks ago so it converts at a 3:2 rate instead of 1:1. https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/...s-ultimate-faq When you subscribe to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, we’ll convert any prepaid time you have on Xbox Live Gold, Xbox Game Pass, or EA Play subscriptions and apply it toward the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate plan at the current conversion ratio, up to a maximum of 36 months. Prepaid time conversion is final and non-refundable, and ratios are subject to change.

That's saying it's the same conversion, $60 for $60. From that page you linked. Where in that page is the better conversion? Edit: Found it. That page has both what you said and what I said. |
Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
Yes, again if you try to extend your existing Gamepass with Live codes, you get a 4:1 conversion. If you start from scratch, apply the Xbox Live codes then convert, you get 3:2 (used to be 1:1). This will probably completely go away once Live changes in September but we'll see.
The point is, if you want cheap Gamepass and you're expiring in the next month or so, you can lock in 2 years at a cheaper price. |

Didn't you use this trick to get your initial 3 years of Gamepass? |

Didn't you use this trick to get your initial 3 years of Gamepass? I never did it, I bought a month at a time at key shops but I got burned twice. With the discounts over the years I still got it at a deep discount but I got tired of being burned and the shops are not as cheap as they used to be, now it's $10 for ultimate instead of $5 and I don't use the extra perks so I could just pay $10 for PC direct. |
Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
CD keys has Remnant 2 fpr $40 on xbox series.
