I just got an Xbox Series S second hand for £150 , I spend my life going between my Dad's and my other halfs place so now the Series X can live at one house and the S at another so I'm always within arms length of some Microsoft goodness.

Why not when it's a good price plus the little S is so cute

I really hope Orcs Must Die 3 is Day One Gamepass as I've really enjoyed the series.

It's corny but massive fun.

Don't think it will be. It's up for pre-order, and they don't tend to do that if a game is going straight into GP.

It's 50/50 really, like, I don't think The Ascent has a Gamepass stamp on it yet... and you can pre-order it.

Yeah, there are some exceptions, but... The Ascent has "Install - Included with Game Pass" on it.

It’s more of a request than a straight-up demand. Up to you.

And some shitbag has immediately taken advantage of that today to give it a 1-star review.

(Thanks for the heads-up.)

Question for the room.

If I buy the (EU) Version of a game from cdkeys will it work on my Xbox, or do I really have to pay extra for the (UK) Version?

Surely they're the same version?

Oddly I have to pay Extra for the EU version, I'm pretty sure the UK ones won't work here (rep of Ireland) but the EU ones should work in the UK?

Cheers photek, I'll try it on something cheap first just to be sure :lol:

I can't remember what game I was looking for now, but the UK version was £10.99 and the EU Version was £7.99.

Worldwide, EU and UK will work on en-GB Xbox

CD Keys should filter out the regions that will not work for you without VPNs. Try searching "brazil" on CD Keys and you will get a warning asking if you want to view products outside of your set region.

Just had an email from Sony. Their new range of speakers is called the X-Series, and it looks like this.
