my pass expire today (i have another one ,on another account).
so do i basically have until midnight to finish a game i started on that account (medium)?
is there a way to see how much do i have left (percentage)?
don't suppose i can move my saves to the other account?

Why do you have different accounts, and why gamepass on both?

I did the 3 years trick and it required a new account (there was a bit of uncertentiy if i need a new account but didnt want to take any chances)

I'm jealous of you guys. You get to unpack your toys for the first time and get wowed by the packaging, only to fire it up and get wowed again by how instant everything feels...

Coming from a OneX I noticed it was faster but I wasn't exactly wowed due to it being essentially the identical interface to the previous gen. It was a rather underwhelming first experience honestly but doesn't make it a bad console, just didn't feel "new" like the PS5.

True, but there might be an argument for not needing to change something that works.

While the PS interface might have been fresh, now that the novelty has worn off there's plenty of complaints about it being less functional and harder to navigate quickly than the previous one...

For those interested, I just helped someone to load 3 x 12 month gold subs on their account and then upgrade to ultimate. Went smooth and worked 100%.

WP as well, nothing was available so I just ordered off BTGames online store. Game4U just got in a "large shipment" as well, in store and online.

Good times, my status has gone from `Processing` to `Processing Pre-Order` whatever that means. I am definitely not going to be getting this in the 2-4 days.

Maybe I will pop in at game4u canal walk when I am there later and see what their stock is like

At first I wasn't all that wowed as it looked like the One S and I got it when downloading was coming in at a third of my line speed.
But after loading a game it was a different story.

Injustice isn't bad

 

[AlphaJohn]

what a joke, PS+ miles better. Would be upset, but I have gamepass

Suspect GamePass is eating all the budget so they tossing scraps into Live Gold box

Example: SW Squadrons that is on PS+ for next month was on GamePass for a while now. Same goes for Stranded Deep and Battlefield V that is on Plus for this month..... "We been having it"

can anyone with a series x confirm if this is normal, when I boot the console up - no disc inside, I hear a weird thud or clunk sound.

this is the disc drive and is normal apparently, but I wanted to ask and see if anyone else has this sound?

Got my console in December and I can't say I've ever heard the disc drive at all (never used it). Your problem sounds very odd

I've only heard the disc drive when it spins up. But the annoying thing is when you eject it, it sucks it back quickly

Haven't heard anything on my XBox.
