    A backwards step I noticed in recent builds is that uninstalling Game Pass games now puts them in "Ready to Install" ....

    NOOOOOOOOO! That was one of the great things about it originally, the just disappeared when you uninstalled themm

    No, game sharing works. Set the console that you usually don't use as your home console.

    Was close to buying quite a few of those 360 games in the BC sale last week so pleased I held off. Definitely a decent list to start off anyway.

    Is there a way to download the games before starting the trial? With my net speeds, it will take a couple of days of continuous downloading to get the games I want from the list...

    Unfortunately not. Once you start the trial it switches the games to Available instead of buy (although there is also the option to buy for a discounted price).

    Now all we have to do is find the best region for purchasing Game Pass.

    So far I know its €9.99 here and $9.99 in the U.S.

    Here are some results from a quick look. Obviously these prices will fluctuate.

    €6.72 - Mexico.
    €6.87 - New Zealand.
    €7.31 - Australia.
    €8.90 - U.S.
    €9.04 - Hong Kong.
    €9.24 - U.K.
    €9.48 - Russia.
    €9.58 - Singapore.

    Are you sure you can buy it from other regions? Purchases are locked to your credit cards region and they don't usually allow gift cards to be used for services (live, groove).

    I'm able to buy ea access from another region so I assume you can do the same for this but I'll try later and see.
