That's nuts….I pay 25 bucks per month for 1/4th of those speeds lol

I'm paying $77 a month for 80 mbps currently, which is the 2nd cheapest plan that Comcast offers in the US. Cheapest is 25 mbps for $50 a month. The only other options besides Comcast where I live are Verizon DSL which is I think $35 a month for 2.5 mbps, mobile hotspots which are expensive and have small data caps, and satellite internet, which is expensive, has huge ping times, and small data caps. Comcast sucks ass, and they are the largest ISP in the US. They basically went around and bought up all of the smaller local cable companies in many areas of the US, and now have a monopoly stranglehold on those areas. 

That's a ton. I pay less than 10$ for 100mbps and can get 200mbps for the same price if I switch to another provider. Unlimited data included.

Yeah, the rip-off prices and monopoly tactics are two of many reasons why Comcast was regularly 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place in Consumerist's Worst Company in America Tournaments back when they used to hold them. They also spend a ton of money lobbying the US Government to ignore their shitty practices and have terrible costumer service.

This is why I support public run broadband, the internet should be recognized as a utility and own by the public.

I voted Persona just so we can get Atlus support on Xbox even though Ni-Oh is my most wanted game on that list.



NobleTeam360 on 21 January 2020

Voted for Persona as well, Dragon Quest would be a close second but DQ is mainly big in Japan, not really in the West that said I loved DQ11 and would love to see it and future games come to Xbox.



DroidKnight on 21 January 2020

Voted Dragon Quest. Ys would have been my second.

Looks like they drooled on it in the first pic, also liking the design more and more.

A step back from what is present now. I have this dashboard and I don’t like that updates and queue tabs are hidden under sub menus. There is no way to see pending updates count by just opening my games and apps. Ofc it isn’t a problem if auto update and sleep mode are enabled but not everyone have it enabled.

Does Saints Row 3 have a remastered version or is it only via BC?



jason1637 on 22 January 2020

So 40 people on Hellblade II (he said twice the size of the first game) and 80 people on Bleeding edge, and Project Mara.
