I am actually surprised to see Double Dragon crossover with River City. I grabbed that along with Neon Inferno for my 2D fix.

Looks like the app is updated.

Store, wishlist, full library. Also has a copilot tab.

I like the GP sale price in green and other sales in yellow. Nice touch.

For rewards or just because?

I gotta check my email too, lol.
no reason. came through as an offer thing through the xbox store, not as a chat message. i booted up my xbox and got a popup toast notification saying something along the lines of "See your offer". did not get any other notification of it through email or chat message.

No offers for me.

Looks like the system UI was slightly updated. Demos are now automatically filtered to the free category along with trials so you don't have to manually hide them now.
 
Holy shit, that's 2000+ items on sale. More than they had for black friday.

Gonna take a while to go through all of that ..

I Purchased the https://electron-shepherd.com/products/electronxout HDMI adapter for the original Xbox to play on my Samsung S90F OLED. I tried a few other HDMI adapters for it and they all had graphical issues. So far this one is working without any problems. It's recommendable. I didn't have a TV with component or composite inputs so it's nice to be able to play it again.
Starting with Project Gotham Racing 1. I want to play the games that are not available elsewhere, or that play best on the Original Xbox.
Using game mode at 3:4 ratio unless the game supports wide screen. Also have the TV's Auto-HDR feature on to spice it up a bit. Be careful, the jaggies are so sharp that you might get hurt.
PGR1 is pretty good, but the AI is evil. They always trying to spin me out on the corners.

Hmm I guess I'll have to look a little closer on Xbox store pages to tell if something is Play Anywhere. Good news though, Hitman is seemingly a play anywhere game now. However, it doesn't say "PC" in the "Play with" tags but it does say Play Anywhere in the "Capabilities" tags. Haven't installed it but I have to option to actually install it on PC instead of the usual cloud option.

Bit weird to label Cloud as "play anywhere", since that's always been the point.

The console <-> PC is where that label makes the most sense.
 
That time I got an AD for tampons on my Xbox 360 #TBT

I got some updated terms yesterday before it let me get to the dashboard to choose the type of advertising relevant to me and couldn't skip it.

Just wanna play my games man, I'm not gonna think fuck me must buy some pepsi max if there is an ad in the bottom right.

Luckily no tampon adverts yet. 50+ year old single man living on his own, I'd fucking hope it never pops up either.
 
Indie selects sale. Picked up some weird stuff I have been watching but know nothing about.

I have never heard of these games before. Does Xbox have a lot of indies compared to like Steam?

They definitely have less than Steam, which probably helps a bit with discovery. Each store you have a random chance to stumble upon new titles you may not have seen. Tons of indies everywhere.
 
Do I need a certain post count before I make a thread? Most likely.... I am guessing. I am so undecided if I want to grab a steam deck, a gaming laptop... for portability. I am not looking to play on a bus or anything like that, just something around my house for steam or the place where I can play the most indies on the go.

50 posts I believe. Welcome to the site!

I don't have either of those so you'll likely have to weigh the pros and cons on price and what games it can run. You can definitely get a laptop stronger than a Steam Deck, so it just depends what you want. If you want convenience, then there's lots of different PC or Steam handhelds.

Are these 12 month gamepass ultimate subscriptions on Ebay legit?

Example: https://www.ebay.com/itm/306745451554

They don't appear to be codes like they used to be. Just wondering if anyone has bought one through this process before.
If you want to get GPU cheaper, just use sites like eneba or cdkeys/loaded. This ebay listing looks like they give you an account to use, probably with sketchy credit card payment attached. The listing says "If you want to use your own account on PC or Cloud, this product is not for you.". So yeah, looks like they give you an account. If you're fine with that, OK, but who knows if that account will last a year.
 
Not sure if posted - or noticed,
but all of the Xbox ACA Neo Geo games have been getting updates recently.
Looks like they completely redid the menu UI, and maybe even added some different video settings.
The original UI was very clunky - this seems more responsive.
Some of those games have to be close to 10 years old now. Really cool they would still update these after all this time.

Boot up Metal Slug or something if you have it on Xbox and take a look.

Good thing I just bought Metal Slug X! I wonder if Metal Slug 3 is worth it when I already have the 360 version?

P.S. Have some others in my wishlist but they are only discounted once in a blue moon...

For Metal Slug 3, im pretty sure the 360 version had limited continues - where the ACA port is 100% the arcade game, so you could play stress free and credit feed. Just something to keep in mind - esp since Slug 3 is such a long game. I own both versions. I might be remembering the OG Xbox Slug 3 port though...

The ACA Neo Geo games literally go on sale like once every 5 years (or longer) on Xbox. Its crazy.
I made sure to buy a bunch when they did go on sale.
There was a set of obscure ones that went on sale this past December out of the blue.

The Xbox Live Arcade version definitely has unlimited continues and even has a feature that allows firing vehicle weapons in a fixed arc while moving.

P.S. Somehow most of the games I wanted were not on sale in December. :messenger_pensive:
