6 months for $60. (news.xbox.com)

XBOX Live Gold was made obsolete when Game Pass was started. Not sure why they want a false outrage cycle instead of just getting rid of it. -- nm - Qale Jan 22, 08:01 3
- That's not correct at all. Xbox Live Gold and Game Pass are two completely separate entities that do two separate things. -- (edited) - Shaun Jan 22, 08:05 2
  - I could be confused. I am probably confused. Live Gold is online and those dumb monthly games. Game Pass is online and lots of games... - Qale Jan 22, 08:13 1
    - Game Pass is not online. It's Xbox Netflix. Game Pass Ultimate = Live Gold + Game Pass. -- nm - Shaun Jan 22, 08:18
I guess I should figure out how much time is left on my current subscriptions and maybe bump that back up to the max (36 months) if I can find cheap - tRuMaN Jan 22, 06:26 8
- I realize that they won't and why, but I want something that's just the multiplayer and not the other junk. -- nm - Reagen Jan 22, 06:43 1
  - Like an XBox Live Pewter version? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 22, 07:48
- ...and then covert it to Game Pass Ultimate for $1 and/or no charge. -- nm* - Shaun Jan 22, 06:33 3
  - yeah already have ultimate, so not sure if that just extends it if I add more, no clue on that. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 22, 06:35 2
    - Gold converts to GPU, but you'd get fewer months. Not sure what the actual conversion rate is though. -- nm - Shaun Jan 22, 06:36 1
      - Conversion rates inside... - Krusty Jan 22, 06:41
- Share it with us if you see any deals -- nm - Krusty Jan 22, 06:32 1
  - so far just $60 for a year at newegg. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 22, 06:34
If you are an existing customer, nothing changes. -- nm - Volnelk Jan 22, 06:25 13
- Reading that info is rather confusing. Is it just Gold and not Ultimate? Is it just new customers or will we all get the price change eventually? - Krusty Jan 22, 06:27 11
  - Arnt you coded up like I'm good till summer of 2022 -- nm - eag Jan 22, 06:37 1
    - Nope. I wasn't able to take advantage like others did. I am on a 3 month membership that runs out in about 2 months. -- nm - Krusty Jan 22, 06:43
  - To the IM, as a primarily single player person that you are, I'd say yes. - Shaun Jan 22, 06:35 7
    - Honestly, I was likely getting the PS5 before the Xbox anyway. Nothing on the new system that I have to play that I can't play on my current system -- nm - Krusty Jan 22, 06:39 2
      - yeah thats where I am I think -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 22, 06:45
      - And then you can finally play Spider-Man. :) -- nm - Shaun Jan 22, 06:44
    - It was a 9-month process, but I clearly jumped ship. PS's exclusives / soft-exclusives appeal way more to me. (NM) - Marlowe Jan 22, 06:37 3
      - Cool. When is yours supposed to arrive? -- nm - Shaun Jan 22, 06:43 2
        
        February 3rd is the date, but reports suggest that some retailers already have delivered some from that same shipment, so -- (edited) - Marlowe Jan 22, 06:48 1
        
        Not too far away then. Nice! -- nm - Shaun Jan 22, 06:49
  - I think just Gold and it will change on next billing cycle. -- nm - spamlet Jan 22, 06:27
- (until what you've paid for runs out) -- nm - Reagen Jan 22, 06:26
What does PS charge because there's no way I'm paying Xbox $120 a year -- nm - Krusty Jan 22, 06:23 14
- Plus you get Horizon Zero Dawn. Probs my favourite game of the last decade. -- nm - mafic Jan 22, 06:34 7
  - Shaun was enjoying it as well. I thought it was a racing game. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jan 22, 06:45 6
    - It was pretty good. But if you have to try one open-world Sony exclusive, go for Ghost of Tsushima. And then Spider-Man. And then HXD. (NM) - Marlowe Jan 22, 06:50 3
      - Ghost for sure. Sprinkle some God of War in there too. -- nm - Shaun Jan 22, 06:52
      - There's zero chance that the first game I play isn't Spider-Man. But I'll keep your recommendation of Ghost of Tsushima in mind. -- nm - Krusty Jan 22, 06:52 1
        
        Ghost really is a fabulous game -- nm - decline Jan 22, 06:57
    - It's a 2017 game, but the sequel is supposed to be this year. -- nm - Shaun Jan 22, 06:47 1
      - *crosses fingers* -- nm - decline Jan 22, 06:48
- I got a 1 year PS+ code yesterday for $36.19cdn. -- nm - Shaun Jan 22, 06:32 2
  - Nice! That's like $5 American! - Krusty Jan 22, 06:35 1
    - cdkeys #ftw -- nm - Shaun Jan 22, 06:36
- $59.99 -- nm - decline Jan 22, 06:27
- $60. (NM) - Marlowe Jan 22, 06:27 1
  - 👍 -- nm - Krusty Jan 22, 06:28
bastards -- nm - decline Jan 22, 06:23
If they want to kill it, why not just kill it? (NM) - Marlowe Jan 22, 06:22
