Well Inside is great but most folks will already own it by now. Symphony of the Night is a classic of course but I've owned the 369 version for over a decade. The other two are pure shit.

Re: Xbox One: S $249 Now / X $499 November 7 2017
I got a used Elite controller online from GS and was messing around with it in the accessories app to make sure everything is working.
In the vibration section I get some rumble when changing the values except on the right trigger. The other three (left trigger, right main, left main) all work. I'm leaning towards that means one of the motors is kaput? I don't know what my return window is, or if I could exchange it in store locally (it shows three of the local stores have one on hand).
Other than that it seems to be working okay, and was only missing the braided cable.

For those who converted to Game Pass Ultimate already and don't have a full 3 years, there is a nice deal that stacks with existing subscribers : Best Buy has a 3 month GPU card at 67% off for $14.99. Only one purchase per account

MicrosoftOutreachTeam3 weeks agoHi there,
We're sorry if there was any confusion over this limited edition offer. If you already joined Xbox Game Pass Ultimate via the special $1 for one month E3 offer, you can now redeem this code for an additional three months. Please retry if you received an error message previously.
Important: This 3-month offer is for new customers only and will not stack with itself. It may be redeemed once per Microsoft account per year.
Hope that helps,
Chuck

^ Correct. And if you're already at your 34-to-36-month maximum, you'll have to wait up to 3 months before you can redeem it, but you should be able to redeem it without issue at that point.

Are there any deals floating around for XBox Live?
Just realized that my subscription expired last month.

The 14.99 worked for me. I did use the 1.00 offer earlier. My sub went from 2/2022 to 5/2022.
I don't even really use Live that much, other than the free GWG games, but if it's the same price or less than GamePass per month, why not.

Can someone explain to me briefly how the XBox Gamepass works? They have a 3 month/$14.99 deal that I got an e-mail about.
So is it games you download or do you stream them?
and does it also include XBox Live Gold?
I don't game a lot, but I'm willing to give it a try for $15.
Is it similar to that EA game service?

It's a lot like EA Access, in that there's a library of games that are free for you to download and play. You also get a discount if you want to buy the game to play it permanently, since the games included in the library changes over time. Here's the list of games:
https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-game-pass/games
There's no streaming, at least at the moment. These are all games that need to be downloaded and played.
There's several tiers or packages. There's separate Console and PC versions of Game Pass, and neither of those include Xbox Live Gold. Then there's "Game Pass Ultimate" that includes both console and PC, and Xbox Live Gold. Console or PC are normally $10/month on their own, and Game Pass Ultimate is normally $15/month. The deal I see right now is 3 months of Ultimate for $1, after which it's $15/month.
https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-game...=shellnav#join
If you pre-paid for months of Xbox Live Gold, that will convert over to Game Pass Ultimate, currently at a ratio of 1-to-1. So one month of Xbox Live Gold already on your account when you upgrade to GPU will translate to one additional month of Ultimate. So a lot of people have been adding as much prepaid XBLG to their account (up to 36 months) before activating the Game Pass Ultimate deal. Keep in mind you only need 33 months XBLG, since the Ultimate deal adds 3 months, and you can't have more than 36 months prepaid on any of the services. This article goes into more detail:

Bing rewards has 12 Month Gold Memberships back as a hot deal for 22,500 points. It says it's available till 8/15/2019, but it also says while supplies last.
I used my points for one to bring my Gold/Gamepass subscriptions up to 36 months, and finally did the conversion to Ultimate for $1, I'm good now with Ultimate until 7/2022.

I picked up a 24-month Xbox Live Gold pass from Sam's Club Online for $94 (which is around $4/mo). You can get up to 3 at that price. Shipping was free.
But you have to be a Sam's Club member.

I have a 10 day Xbox Game Pass code from the Butterfinger promotion if anyone wants it. It cannot be converted to Game Pass Ultimate if you have already switched over. I will DM it to the first reply.

I have a question now that I've converted to Gamepass. If a game is on gamepass but also free with Games with Gold, how do I redeem it?
