Well, yeah, he said he was doing All access but he needed 3 consoles, I didn't ask if he's doing all access for all 3, you're right, he can just share the XGU. He'll most likely only do it on one.
But really, you can find deals on almost anything out there. I have friends who clip coupons and save a ton of money at the grocery store but I ain't doing that shit. Convenience vs. doing work in looking for deals. Those things have been a thing since money was a thing. This isn't a huge revelation. You can buy a PC and only buy $7 games and Humble bundles and save a shitload of money, it goes on and on. All Access is great for people who are already paying the $15 a month and don't mind doing it, everyone else can make up their mind.
I mean, I get getting deals might be tough, but plenty of basic deals save you more than $60.
This is also a problem of impact, because the math doesn't make it look good, ESPECIALLY over the two year period.
My major issue being that you're locking yourself out of much better potential deals.
Maybe Series X pulls a 360/PS4 and doesn't go down much, but I pointed how I saw X1 for €200 in 2014, X1X/S too went down quick.
I get some people don't mind, obviously I spend that much per month on games, but if you're on a budget this is a bad deal.
Trade-ins, BF deals, con discounts save you a ton more.
To point to improvements to All-Access
- Lower the price, even with savings the math makes it look bad. $60 savings on XSS and $20 on XSX is a pittance
- Make it a worldwide standard wherever XBoxes are sold, not "select retailers in select countries"
