Ya when I first posted it I thought "is this a joke"? It was doubled wasn't it @ndboarder ? Glad they listened to the people.
The yearly cost was doubled. The monthly sub price went up $1 or something minimal, but what they didn't point out was that the proposed change made a 6 month membership $59.99. Yes, that was still a deal compared to the Monthly payment, but $59.99 used to be for 12 months. So yeah, would've doubled for yearly subscribers - and it would've only been new subscribers, they said existing members would keep the old pricing. Either way, it was a terrible idea.
If anyone were considering them, I'd hold out for some reviews. Microsoft has made some before, granted they were wired, but they were not all that comfortable or good. These new ones do look a lot nicer, maybe they've learned from the Surface headphones. For the $100 price tag and supporting both Xbox and PC they may be a great deal, but I'll have to wait and see what people think.
I think you mean the Surface headphones and yeah they are supposed to be decent. I just did not like the Xbox Stereo Headset they did with the Xbox one. This new Xbox headset looks better physically and hopefully they borrow a bit from the surface ones, even if they are quite a bit cheaper
Yep, it's coming to gamepass on the 25th. Currently it is on Switch, PC and Stadia. The GamePass release of it is the first availability on XboxGamepass also has a lot of new games now that it includes the EA Play titles and the Bethesda games are starting to roll in now that MSFT completed that acquisition. Plus Outriders coming on April 1 (they already confirmed it is not an April fools joke).
