Xbox Series X / S

My understanding is I need to buy Vouchers to the cost of 3 years of Gold and I should get 2 years of GPU?

Last I saw MS wants to stop unlicensed peripherals from working on XBox. Might be worth a google.

Also Baldur's Gate 3 is now on XBox:

Looks like you are correct "
  • From November 12, 2023, Microsoft will no longer allow unauthorized third-party accessories to be used with its Xbox consoles.
  • Players are reporting a warning message displaying on Xbox when plugging in unauthorized accessories, notifying them of the date their accessories will be blocked with "error 0x82d60002."

You can get them on cdkeys.

Xbox Game Pass Essential is the updated version of Game Pass Core, delivering the same reliable online multiplayer experience with new benefits, rewards, and access to a growing library of games.

It automatically converts to GP core but the trick should still work...

Anyone know best way to stack GPU now, know it’s just for two years but that’s still okay for me. My sub is expiring in Feb if I remember right

I think you will need your current subscription to expire before you can add the new subscription. Otherwise your conversion rate will get you a lot less months.

"If you already have an active Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, the easiest thing to do is let your current subscription expire, then do this conversion trick. (It’s a much better rate than when you have an active Ultimate subscription, which varies but can be as little as 81 days of Ultimate for six months of Core.)"

But I think it should be ok to buy the 12/24 months Xbox Live Gold sub in the meanwhile while they are selling them (I think it will be cancelled soon) - and once you have bought this code they will have to honour it when you claim the code sometime next year after your current GP subscription has expired.

Edit: I see Egifts stopped selling it on 31 October. Bummer.

Anyone know if it's possible to find these older Xbox One controller stereo adapters locally at a reasonable price? Since they're discontinued, the prices all seem to be based on importing which makes it crazy expensive (might as well fork out for a new controller, and sell the old one to recoup).

Yo bud, you come right yet. I may (just need to look for it) have 1 for you.

Let me know.
 
Just opened & cleaned my Xbox after 2 years of service. Was surprisingly clean?

Note we have 2 cats and looking at the people on Youtube I was expecting waaaay more crap than just a bit of dust I had.

Guess it depends on your environment, I seen some bad ones online:


I was expecting something similar based on how my Roomba pick up cat hair every day, but found zip inside my Xbox. Guess that means the Roomba is doing its job. :)

Had a pretty poor gaming year compared to previous years.
 
My "MyYearOnXbox" is dreadful, highest was 22 hours on A Plague Tale Requiem and most of that was in Jan.

Really nothing that captivated my interest except Starfield which I haven't played more than an hour or two due to backlog.
