Yeah, Amazon is definitely big enough to be serious competition for Steam if they decide to really go after that market. Giving away free games to Prime members every month is a great way to get their foot in the door too. So far I've been claiming the free games but I haven't actually...

Hmm... that’s the first I’ve heard of something like that. I’ve been using a bus powered EHD since they first turned on the ability to use EHDs without issue.

If the external hard drive was still working all you would have to do is plug it in and all the game would be ready to go. Since it sounds like it’s not they will have to be downloaded again. Once he is logged into his account he will just have to go into “my games and apps”. There is a section...

I've never heard of anyone getting a virus on an Xbox but it seems pretty unusual for both the external and internal hard drive to fail at the same time. Like meStevo said though, both their purchases and saves should be fine. Purchases are tied to the Microsoft account and saves are backed up...

That is not the way it normally works. I have a 2TB external drive set as the main drive on my Xbox One X. This is the same external drive I used on my launch Xbox One and my Xbox One S. With all 3 of those systems, when I install a game it disappears from the ready to install list and moves...

Yeah there wasn’t much positive buzz around launch despite most of the people who did play it liking it.

Deus Ex Mankind Divided is a game I've been meaning to get around to for quite a while. I love RPGs but I strongly prefer sci-fi to fantasy so it seems like it would be perfect for me. Glad to hear that you are liking it. I don't blame you for wanting to move on from DA after 110 hours. When I...

I think about going back to ME all the time. These are available through backwards compatibility on Xbox One but I own the trilogy on PC so I would be more likely to play it there instead. This is one of the rare cases where I would pre-order a good remaster as soon as it was announced though. I...

Yeah, I don't care that they are dropping PS3 and Vita games at all. My PS3 has been boxed up since the PS4 came out and I haven't turned my Vita on in about a year. I don't really have a place for it in my entertainment center and I'm using all the HDMI ports on my AVR except the AUX port on...

The lack of backwards compatibility doesn't stop a system from selling but that doesn't prove that having backwards compatibility isn't a reason that contributes to some people buying a system. Also games sometimes get new life when Microsoft adds them to backwards compatibility. I have bought...

Right but this was exactly my point. If Microsoft makes a bunch of pro consumer moves and Sony says we don't need to do this because we are winning Microsoft can catch up again even if it's not this generation. Sony making these pro consumer moves last generation helped them catch up to the 360...

I'm not sure where these companies are getting their numbers from but according to NPD the Xbox One outsold the PS4 in December and the Xbox One was only 3% behind in January. Besides I explained exactly what I meant when I said they were killing it. I was referring to backwards compatibility...

Microsoft is killing it right now. I was using my PS4 more at launch but Microsoft is treating their customers so much better than Sony now that they have won me back over (I played most games on 360 last gen). Backwards compatibility and the change to include all first party games in Game Pass...

McCree is quickly becoming my favorite character to play in Overwatch and I got a pretty nice highlight with him last night. I will say that their recent decision to remove a lot of the UI elements from saved clips makes this look pretty weird. Without the red skulls popping up on players heads...

I bought it a long time ago but I haven’t played it yet. I’ve been meaning to get to it but other games keep grabbing my attention. A few years ago I wouldn’t have believed any other game could keep me from playing a new Mass Effect but all the negative coverage really lowered my expectations. I...

The sad thing is that 7 million copies is still a great number compared to most other AAA games. The only reason that number is disappointing to EA is because the Battlefront 1 sold extremely well at over 14 million copies.

I contributed to this because I didn't own a Wii U or any of it's games but I did buy a Switch, Zelda, and Stardew Valley over the weekend.

I certainly wouldn't do this but I haven't participated in crowdfunding for any product. At least in this case "investors" have can get a share of the profits and it's not just a donation like Kickstarter though. It does seem ridiculous to give people who put $750 in a 25% discount instead of...

You were actually right on this. After looking at the store over the last few days I see that the 20% discount on games and 10% on DLC only applies to titles in the Game Pass library. The wording on the Game Pass website does not specify this but that seems to be how it works. I thought it might...

I also checked this out last night and it does work but it's very clunky. When you look at your library of Windows 10 Store games it only shows the games you actually own. It does not include the Play Anywhere games from Game Pass. You can pull up the Game Pass library from inside the Windows 10...

I own Gears 4 and the Forza games but I don't have Recore, Halo Wars, or Zoo Tycoon. Halo Wars is a game I actually want to play and RTS makes more sense on PC so that will be my test. I don't think that is even limited to titles that are in the Game Pass catalogue. The main Game Pass page...

There are a few other Play Anywhere titles that are part of Game Pass too. I don't know all of them off the top of my head but I know Halo Wars: Definitive Edition and Zoo Tycoon are. I signed up for the free trial today since I never bothered before. If I get a chance tonight I'll try to check...

Xbox Game Pass Expands To Include New Releases From Microsoft Studios This is pretty huge news that will get me to use my Xbox and Windows 10 store much more often. Starting with Sea of Thieves all Xbox exclusive Microsoft Studios games will be included in Xbox Game Pass day one. For those that...

I wouldn’t even bother trying to play the first two games. The first one is only on PC and it has lots of issues with modern hardware. While the story was good even back then, the combat was terrible. I had two crashes and lost about 4 hours of progress total and decided to just look up a...

Dragon Age Inquisition was a great game. Looking back at my 2014 list, it definitely would have won if had gotten more time in with the game before I put my list together. I even mentioned in the first sentence of that list that I thought this was the case. I put part of your post in bold to...
