    I'll just quote one of your posts.

    The Witcher 3, RDR2 and Forza Horizon are on Gamepass.

    Not the full Witcher 3 with DLC.
    Also, how long are these games on GamePass. e.g. How long was GTA5 on Gamepass ? How long will W3 and RDR2 be there?
    Also, Game pass is ok if you have the time to dedicate to these games or get a cheap sub if you can.
    For me, I don't, so it'll take me months/years to get through them :)

    (Hmmm I see 3 messages from me above. Oops! I do remember getting some DB error when submitting my post, so I retried. Will remove the duplicates ...)

    (Edit) quick Google - about 4 months for GTA5

    Injustice is being offered for free by Warner Bros on all current platforms, I think today is the last day it is available.

    Pretty sure Too Human has been free since being relisted on Xbox Live.

    If you don't mind waiting it will probably drop back down to about €120 for Black Friday.

    Do you think xbox one x will drop for Black Friday or I am better off waiting to buy the one x when the new xbox is released in shops - my old day one xbox one is on its last legs but it should see me through another few months.

    To be honest, it's going to be pretty hard to predict this time around. From reports around the internet, it looks like MS have discontinued producing the One, meaning that once the stock that's currently in the channel is sold through, then it'll be gone.

    In saying that, I'd be surprised if we didn't see great deals on the One between now and then. Whether you can get one before the stock is gone will be the question.

    Afaik they've only discontinued the One X. At this stage it is fairly pointless to keep it as it most likely shares the price point of the Series X.

    The One S will probably be discontinued soon as well in favour of the rumoured Series S.

    I was hoping they'd drop the price is the one X pretty low so move what's left. Have they said they have discontinued it? But like you said it's price point may be the same as series X or rumoured series S

    Have they really stopped producing the xbox one X or is it just the S - was hoping to get a decent deal on launch of the new xbox later this year - play the games I missed on xbox for a year while the catalogue for the new console builds up and then I'll buy the new console around OCT 2021 - it sounded like a good plan - did not forsee this - the xbox 360 lasted quite a while after the launch of the xbox one.

    I've bought a few games from that site before and never had an issue, had to use a VPN for a US code I got but nothing more than that. It's not the site you're buying from, you can buy extra cover but I've never bothered with it.

    A question on using CDkeys.

    I normally buy games where the region is listed as worldwide.

    With an Irish Xbox account will games listed as UK work, or do you need to work around it?

    Not anymore. The UK is a different region to EU on Xbox now. If it is marked as UK it won't work.

    Hell even worldwide codes can have that issue on CDKeys now, bought a WW key for Control at the weekend and I got the out of region error. In the end I'm glad it didn't work as I will now get the UE next month as it has the dlc and is getting upgraded to XSX.

    No Man's Sky is currently in Game Pass. Play using that and buy it using the 20% discount next time it is down in price on the store if you want to keep it.

    yeah, normally dont care about deluxe editions, but for some bizzaro reason the deluxe edition gets the bigger discounts, so its always cheaper than the standard edition.

    Easier to get keys for the deluxe as it was a console pack in.
