PC is cheaper and gets day one and EA Play? It's almost like they're trying to kill the console on purpose. Wtf...

Now that you mention it it seems that way.

Game pass PC is R119 per month now. So you get everything Ultimate gave except the console is taken away but still have the EA and Riot Games which btw for League of legends also extends to Wild Rift for mobile.

Game pass is officially worse on Xbox consoles.

Thinking about it, SA doesn't get xCloud so wouldn't help getting one anyway.

I guess for those that want console only buy a bunch of these

https://www.xbox.com/en-ZA/games/store/xbox-game-pass-for-console/cfq7ttc0k6l8

Or just sub before they remove it and stick to it. I see they say it will stay the same price and be grandfathered so R85 forever no increase?

https://www.reddit.com/r/xbox/comments/1e14pqf/game_pass_core_to_ultimate_conversion_still_works

Yeah had a look at that.

• Eneba.com: Core 12 mths at R569 - converted at 3:2 to 8mths Ultimate = R87 p/m after inclusion of 1 mth Ultimate for the "upgrade"
• CD Keys.com: Core 12 mths at R795 - converted at 3:2 to 8mths Ultimate = R115 p/m after inclusion of 1 mth Ultimate for the "upgrade"

Not sure about Eneba.com. Trustworthy?

Edit: found official, its a sweepstake.

Also there is this:

 

[AlphaJohn]

Microsoft should renew Marvel license to Deadpool game.

I mean they do own Activision now so they can totally re-release it and maybe even up the FX to 4K via FPS Boost

 

[Sarg3_ZN]

That console looks awesome, hope they release a Deadpool wrap.
