I signed up for the preview of Game Pass (despite my earlier protestations, and knowing that there are only 20-odd mixed quality games) and have downloaded nearly 90GB of games in under a week. Played some for a few minutes, some for a few hours. It's actually a very good service and as long as there is plenty of notice when any third party titles may be moving out of the Pass, I can see myself subscribing. The only possible downsides I can see so far. - It doesn't help my A.D.D. when trying to choose what to play with the already limited time I have to play. - My Backlog / Pile of Shame won't thank me. - If you have a slow download connection, or heaven forbid a download cap, this service may just tease you.

Fingleberries wrote: » Nah, luckily it doesn't. Could you imagine suddenly having 100+ ready to install games. (I shudder when the mail icon on my phone has a '1' beside it). Currently there's a new "Memberships" section in games and apps, that is divided into Gold, EA Access and Game Pass. That links out to games in those programs - at the moment it just directs you to that section of the store. Microsoft have said that this is not the final design, so hopefully will become more intuitive.

The memberships areas aren't great, really hope that the functionality improves, if it's just a link to the programs, then it's useless to me. The EA Access one in particular is totally useless, it takes about a minute to get into that app.

Fingleberries wrote: Bioshock 1 & 2 are the remasters, infinite is the BC version. (They're probably just doing that to test out putting BC and One games out to see demand, etc.)
