GTA V was removed recently from the Ultimate pass unfortunately, but I just found out that you can get the game free when you go to the epic website. PC version.

Just wanted to put this on here for any of you guys who have kids in college (or are an educator like me). Apple is running a pretty sweet deal for students and teachers. Buy a Mac or an iPad and get Air Pods free. You already get a discount from Apple for being a student/teacher so this is just an added bonus. The Air Pods are the 2nd gen ones but you can upgrade to the Air Pod Pros if you want. I just ordered a new 11” IPad Pro. I’ve had the original Pro since it released and it’s been awesome. Unfortunately, it has seen better days so I took advantage of this deal. As you were.

That does look like one of the Cyperpunk cars in the ad. For $10 and if you have a Series X get it.

Any Civilization fans out there? Civ VI Anthology is on sale over at Steam for $29.99 and it includes every DLC in the game. I'm glad I passed on it when it was on sale for $45 but $30 is too good of a deal to pass up.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Stop f*cking with us, Rod, Gamespot and Best Buy.

You'll have a better chance of getting a kidney transplant on the floor of your local Best Buy than finding a Series X on shelves. :)

Ha. Bots gobbled up stock within seconds. Seriously.

At least the Best Buy drop yesterday allowed regular people to buy one at retail -- if you were willing to camp overnight to get a ticket in line at 7:30 a.m.

F*CK ME. It's easier to get a donated organ than a next-gen console these days. This is just stupid.

Not sure if it's the same in your neck of the woods, mate, but I found out a couple of weeks ago that in the UK, the two retailers supporting the XBox All Access scheme sometimes allocate stock to it without publicising the fact. Both of them have a separate All Access page on their website away from the main Series S/X page, neither of them make a big deal of that stock being available and the stock checker accounts on Twitter don't seem to pick them up either. I tested that out last Saturday afternoon, got a bit carried away with myself and my new Series X arrived yesterday.

The downside to that approach is that you're locked in to 2 years of Game Pass as part of the deal, so no means of shopping around for a discount or a special conversion rate on EA Play, though those seem to be dwindling rapidly in any case.

PS5 is a different story, though. You've still got to be all over the stock checkers, have your Twitter alerts switched on and be ready for the mad scramble when consoles become available to buy. I tested that out a couple of months ago, got a bit carried away with myself and my new etc.

Congrats on your grab, Adam! Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out.

As Adam mentioned, that is the "easiest" way to score a Series X. I had trouble snagging one with all the Bots and Scalpers but I got one real easy with Walmart by buying it with Game Pass. If Microsoft continues their upgrade program they will allow you to trade up for the another XBOX when your 2 yr subscription runs out. By then we could be looking at the Series Pro or whatever they call it. I forget how the program works but when I was reading thru the info I got the impression that you get full credit for the All Access XBOX you previously purchased and that is applied in the trade up but you have to buy another 2 yrs of GPU and pay the difference if the new console cost more.

But the next time there is a restock check for All Access. One reason why those bundles are easy to get is because most don't want to buy 2 yrs of GPU and you have to apply for credit and get approved with Citizens One Bank.

That's PC only, correct?

The new GR looks like pure sh*t. Ubisoft has killed the Rainbow Six franchise as a tactical game, and it looks like the once-proud Ghost Recon is following.

As far as I know it is only on the PC yes.

I signed up for the beta, I'm not much into PvP, I prefer coop shooters but I'll give it a try.

PK,

Apparently there is free DLC for Wildlands and Breakpoint for Xbox if you don't have it already.

Thanks. May check out the Wildlands DLC, as that appears to be the last good Ghost Recon game. Breakpoint SUCKED, and the new PvP free-for-all direction of the next Ghost Recon game indicates that Ubisoft is trying to convert this franchise into a competitor of Battlefield and Call of Duty.

No bueno. :(

Thanks for this

Is Breakpoint that bad after updates? I got it on a deep sale after I read that they made it better with updates. Just haven't got into it yet.

I liked Wildlands despite some hokiness with AI teammates. I loved how they got "in position" for a sync shot only to see they shot right through buildings. Or how they would move around a camp right in front of enemies and the enemies would just stand there. :D
