My Xbox owning friends, I have some questions. Okay, I've been searching for PS5 for a couple of weeks online.  I haven't had much luck.  I have noticed the Xbox Series X stays in stock a little longer than the PS5, so my chance of snagging that is greater. My question is about the game pass.  Is it worth it?  I didn't get an XBone so I missed a ton of games from last Gen.  are they on the game pass and do they stay there for as long as I subscribe?  I'm still searching for a PS5, but I may jump ship by the end of the week if the Game Pass is that good.

Thanks guys

I spoke to the doctor. I have a fracture one of the bones coming off the spine. He said it's minor and it'll heal on its own. It won't cause any issues other than and some short-term pain.

He said they're going to keep me for observation for a few more hours because my heart rate is elevated, which might be a sign of internal injury. my vitals are looking better than a couple hours ago and my heart rate is going down now and I should be out of hospital later today. 👍

That's good news.  I was just hopeful it wasn't like the other wreck.  Colorado drivers must suck.

GamePass is pretty awesome. I wouldn't pay full price for it, but that's only because I can't put in much time. The games are generally really good and most stay on for a long time. If you get Ultimate you get EA play thrown in too.

What do you mean by full price?  A year's worth?  Or with EA games?

Is multiplayer included? Of course I could Google this but I'd rather talk to you guys.

it's definitely been getting worse in the last 10 years or so. A lot of people moving into the state from other states.

I've been discharged from the hospital I'm just waiting for my dad to come pick me up take me home. Thanks again guys

Fuck. Just had another car accident this morning. Looks like my car is probably totaled. I'm mostly just banged up. I'm at the hospital right now getting checked out. They just did a CT scan. Waiting for the results. I don't feel seriously injured.

a woman ran a red light as I was crossing the intersection around 8am. 😡

Oh shit, sorry to hear that. Hope you're okay. One of my clients was in a car accident and had spinal injuries. Took months to recover.

I bought over 2 years when you could use a trick to get GamePass cheap, you could transfer Gold to the more expensive ultimate 1:1.

Even at regular price it's objectively great value. You can find all current included games online so you can make up your mind for yourself.

For me it's not worth the price though as I have little gaming time and what I do have I spend on Tetris99.

Edit: ultimate includes Gold and thus also multiplayer. The regular version, as far as I'm aware, does not

Just saw you don't own an Xbone, so this might interest you: all 1st party games come to GamePass day one and stay there.

Okay, If I don't find a ps5 by the end of the week but can find an X, I'll probably pull the trigger.

I mean it really comes down to what you like but yeah I would say Game Pass is definitely worth it. All of Microsoft’s first party games come to Game Pass same day release and pretty much always stay on the service. There’s a lot of third party games on there that are quite good and they come and go like Netflix but they seem to stay on there for a decent amount of time. You may as well go for Ultimate as there’s quite a bit of good stuff from EA’s service.

Yeah, I missed out on last Gen and realized that a lot of Sony's good stuff won't even be ready till next year.

I choose not to dignify that with a response. Except this one.

Thanks, feeling pretty dignified right now.

That's a relief, man. Hope the pain isn't too bad.

Don't own an Xbox that can access gamespass, but I do have it on PC, and even at the higher Xbox prices, it's an incredible deal. And though it costs more, you don't have to deal with Microsoft's awful PC programming...

Ugh, I despair for humanity. Just read an article about Sorare. Think Fifa FUT cards, but with fantasy football replacing
the actual game.

Cards are unique and guarded by block chain tech and go for up to tens of thousands of euro's. Hrm

Seems to be nothing 'pro' about it really.  It's just a different screen and a slightly altered stand (apparently).

Another Megaton...

Maybe there's more details in the specs. But yeah, slightly larger screen and a decent stand. No buy from me but my bro has been waiting on it.

Still 720p undocked.  Yeah, these aren't the specs that you're looking for.

Meh. Pretty much what I expected, though. $350 price is stupid. Switch is 4 years old; Nintendo couldn't just sell this new one for the same $300 price and phase out the old model? Also, why not announce this at E3? Nintendo is odd.
