X1 gets same service model as PS fans, more recent titles too.

As a 360 owner, I still get to keep my free games. SO I can play both sides of the fence :)



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Holy balls. What the hell has happened at Microsoft today? Moving closer towards Sony in every direction...

Smart move. Will put an end to a few forum arguments too, which is nice for me!

Yeah but not before some weeks people being butthurt.  Overall gamers are happy with the news today but fanboys are not liking it.. 

Lucky after those weeks it will be E3 and you can rest because the forums will be dead =p.

-  Honestly I don't care to much if it is playable with Gold only or not.  I have PS plus and Gold and all those free games are killing me...

so no more : " but but we keep our games ahahahahha "

btw they will give dark souls this month


All the 360 gamers beg to differ. It will still be "at least we kept" even if the whole debate is over now it still and will always be something that was PRO xbox.


TBH for me thats more of a reason to NOT be a xbl gold member. Why rent games rofl? I have a renting flatrate at my local video store for 30 bucks a year and that includes EVERY console and EVERY movie. They even sent the games by mail.

$30 a year? How do they stay in business lol.

Definetly. Phil Spencer in action, I like what he's doing. Hopefully he's there to greenlight some colorful and diverse AAA games like the early 360 days.

Better to "Rent" decent games that you'll play to completion and be renewing your subscription anyway, than to have games that you've already played 2-5 years ago that you keep for no reason.


But...I haven't played Street Fighter or Charlie Murder, which will be given on 360 next month!

if it means newer games then its fine by me it was nice to own the games but they were kind of old

My feelings exactly. I love that Microsoft gave us permanent rewards for subscribing, but the free games were lacking. PS+ games, however impermanent, are qualitatively and quantitatively better. This should bring balance to the Force ;)

Xbox One PSN Plus confirmed. I like when MS follows Sony. It works out better for gamers.

So I get to keep my 360 games for gold, and "rent" my Xbox One games for gold on the one XBL subscription.

I don't see how this is a bad thing, or can be painted as a bad thing. Suddenly the value of an XBL,subscription basically doubled for subscribers with a 360 & an XBox One.

But I'm sure I'll hear how insidious this is from the massed forces of the internet. Carry On.
