Going by our Amazon wish list, I expected you to have more physical games than I. I'm just shy of 100. The difference is that you still have space on your shelf...


EDIT: Thanks for reminding me about Biomutant. Somehow that's not on my wishlist. (Unlocked one achievement during the Free Play Days. Basically have to play it now).

Shelf space is definitely a good consideration to have mine are almost full as well my gaming shelf is mostly full of Switch games which I am 100% physical on and my other shelves are full of blu-ray and as more of my favourite films get a UHD release I can't help myself but buy more.

To be honest the ~100 Xbox One/Series physical games aren't my biggest problem. That would be the 1100 Blu-Rays and 1500 mangas. My wife likes to read as well (not mangas though) and has a few hundred books. Yeah we have a lot of shelves..... (I could use two more bookcases though if I only had the space)

Lol, I'm the same.  Tons of DVD/Blu-Ray.  Custom built shelves for them.  I also read a lot and have a large collection of books.  I have a Kindle for reading, but still have the need to buy Hardcovers for the physical collection (I don't touch them anymore, just purchase and display).

Welp, my losing streak will likely continue.

I still believe in November! Haven't changed my position during this whole thing.

Also it better be November, Xbox 2022 has been fucking slow, Lol. Marketing is dead, feels like all the focus is on this deal, at least if it closed in 2022 they could end it on a blowout of Activision-Blizzard Game Pass titles all launching into Game Pass.

If it closes in Early 2023 which is already packed with Game Pass titles...JFC

All while Microsoft is getting ready to launch Xbox Game Pass Friends & Family?

I wonder the likelihood of any of these titles coming to Xbox

Ara History Untold is having its first technical alpha preview, but I did not get an invite :(

They did say more invites will go out later this week though! So there’s hope!

Microsoft have responded to CMA.

"We’re ready to work with the CMA on next steps and address any of its concerns. Sony, as the industry leader, says it is worried about Call of Duty, but we’ve said we are committed to making the same game available on the same day on both Xbox and PlayStation. We want people to have more access to games, not less.” 

Microsoft Responds To The UK Concerns Over The Activision-Blizzard Deal For Xbox | Windows Central

It doesn't really sound like (to me) that they're going to offer legal concessions and instead they'll let it lapse to Phase 2? In that case they'll put forth arguments as to why CMA's concerns are unfounded, likely similar to the stuff they sent to Brazil Tbh, feels like a lot of their concerns have already been addressed when it comes to the console market but UK also has concerns about the cloud and streaming markets.

From what you posted there it sounds to me like everyone is fine with the deal except Sony and the only thing Sony are challenging is Call of Duty and they probably want Xbox to commit to it in written legal jargon that it will continue to release on PS.
