This is when purchasing games you want as they come out is a problem.  They run deals and offer decent prices on good games, but you already own all of them you would want anyway. 

Unrelated - I see someone fixed my avatar pic for me....

Ya some good deals in there. I think the GTAv price is very good plus I never have seen that "Beyond Eyes" game before. Looks interesting and right up my alley.And yes, still tidying up things with my limited access for the time being.

Gold members, just make sure you grab all the Games with Gold offers, whether it's for a console you own or not you can pick them up through the website.

If you have a 360, at least the xbox one games will build up your library for down the road if you get an X1.

For X1 owners - all the free 360 games from now one are guaranteed to be backwards compatible titles, so you get your X1 games plus you can build up a library of older 360 games to go back to some day

 
Whether it's worth the upgrade will depend what devs do to make use of being a slightly more powerful console.  I'm sure I'll end up with one, but for most - if you already have an Xbox One, may as well wait another year for the release of the far more powerful one that is coming Holiday 2017.  Guess I'll have a reason to look at 4K TV's now though
 
I am going to be honest here. I broke out my Xbox One, for the first time in almost a year. Cleaned it up, blew out the dust and had a large update to do at about 5 gigs. Even my controller had an update. After it got down and restarted I was greeted with a God awful interface. I mean what happened? Is this a console or a Windows 10 computer? All I wanted was to find games, and it took me awhile to see it that they are all placed in the "store" section. I am kinda disappointed in the whole interface. It really turned me off. I think my favorite was the tabs menu that they use to have. Anyway I guess I was just expecting more.
 
Ha.  The interface on the X1 looks pretty much the same now as it always has.  It works just fine and depends what you use.  On the rare occasion I turn on the PS4 I can't find anything because I don't use it.  I don't come in here and bash it as a shitty UI because I am not used to it though.
 
Honestly it's because you don't use it enough, love craptastic MAC OS(which by the way say goodnight to Apple making wireless routers anymore but that's a different LOL) and you are a SOny nuthugging fanboy. Use it more and it will be just fine. Not saying it's the greatest but I could easily say the same for the PS4 interface. I play the X1 way more and when I get into the PS4 I am lost as far as finding all my installed games, settings and anything else because I have learned the X1 interface.

It has my recent played games right on the main screen and all the rest by easily tabbing over once to games and apps where I can find the list of all my games and ready to install games. Now where does the PS4 have that?

Remember I haven't updated in over a year and I don't remember it looking like this before.

Mine is on my main screen. I believe if I am not mistaken that you just press your PS button once.

I was hoping that Cuphead game was out btw. What happened to that game? That was one of the main reasons I bought my Xbox One.

The dashboard hasn't changed all that much really from the time X1 released to now.  I don't really care how long it's been since you updated or turned it on.  My point is you immediately come here and blast a UI that works perfectly fine because of your ignorance at using it.For @C Pav's comment on Apple router - it's all over tech sites that Apple is done making routers and getting out of that game...

How cow I had no idea, didn't see this new, that is crazy, Apple is going to destroy themselves if they keep this up.

 
Xbox Game Pass, what are your thoughts?

A new gaming subscription service coming later this spring. Xbox Game Pass gives you unlimited access to over 100 Xbox One and backward compatible Xbox 360 games – all for $9.99 per month.

Netflix for games.  It's a grand idea.  There's already similar things, like EA Access for $30 a year that gives you older EA games.  At $10 a month it isn't too expensive, but it's going to depend what the catalog looks like when it launches or over time.  

It's a rotational catalog, so one month you might have this set of 100 games and the next month 20 of those leave and are replaced with others and you can only play the ones in the catalog that month.  I'll be interested to see what kind of games show up.  How many 3rd parties, how many fairly recent AAA vs. indie, distribution of Xbox One vs. 360 games, and so on.

I think it is a novel idea that has huge potential.  We'll just see how it goes.  I suspect at launch it may appear underwhelming until they can get enough subscribers to convince publishers to put games in the catalog for a month or two (while in catalog subs get a discount, so it could drive purchases if you put it in for a month or two and then take it out).

Don't they already have something like this though? I mean isn't this just like PS+ but on a larger scale with more games?
